1. And Arpaio is being considered for cabinet level position. God help us all.

17. The Trump Principle

The Peter Principle=things get FUBAR because people rise to the level of their incompetence

The Trump Principle=FUBAR squared, because people in the Trump Admin get promoted beyond their level of incompetence

19. A name that isn't well known

Trump is promoting Kakistocracy.

18. What, Attorney General?

[MoonRiver]

2. One of the few bright spots in this "election." Thanks for sharing MM! I didn't know.

3. I just thought to look that up this morning.

So much happened in the election that I hadn't thought about that ass until this morning.

16. I am going to a victory party tonight

We flipped both of our local state representative seats here. Could not get the state senate seat though.

Democrats picked up 12 seats in the Kansas house and 1 in the Senate.

Kind of a hollow victory though since both chambers are still heavily Republican dominated 85-40 and 31-9.

In another positive note, 14 conservative Republican incumbents were defeated by moderates in the primary. 8 of them in the House and 6 in the senate.

That would still seem to leave conservatives in control of both chambers, depending on how many of the incumbents were conservatives.

There's a lot of cloud in that silver lining.

4. Heard somewhere Trump was considering hiring him

[MineralMan]

5. I doubt he'll get hired. He's 84 years old, after all.

I certainly hope not.

[MoonRiver]

6. For what position?

[Arkansas Granny]

7. Homeland Security is what I heard.

[MoonRiver]

13. Dear God

[safeinOhio]

8. Director of

Federal prisons. Buy stock in pink underwear.

22. Trump is going to consider every famous Republican for a position

Its his way of getting them indebted to him, then he passes on them.

Sarah Palin, Mitt Romney, Huckabee.

He isn't going to allow a single Republican in with his own base, he is only going to take those that are dependent on him.

Pretty effective actually.

9. I noticed!

[MineralMan]

10. I forgot to look until this morning.

The news brightened my day just a little.

12. Another reason I think that vote was manipulated.

[barbtries]

11. i did notice that.

did he concede graciously? here in NC the republican fuck of a governor is still trying to steal the win from his democratic opponent.

[2naSalit]

14. Thanks

I was so horrified by the ugly-demon-nightmare-presidential race-from-hell that I forgot to look. I suspect that he will not leave the public spotlight until he's carried out in a horizontal position.

[mountain grammy]

15. I'm sure he'll find a home in trumpland

Unless he goes to prison where he belongs.. but he does have a powerful friends now.

20. Arpaio got a big vote against him in the Republican primary.

People just thought he was too old and his judgement, or lack of, had cost the county all sorts of money in lawsuits. His opponent in the general had previously ran for the job as a Republican. This year he switched to Democrat and ran against him in the general. I think he picked up a lot of Republican and Indie votes.

21. And in heavily Democratic Pima County (Tucson) the Democratic Incumbent

loss to a Republican.

His ads were terrible however, looked like they were a Jr. High School media project.

23. Good!
