1) As expected, DemoKKKrats won big in the two blue states (governors in NJ and VA) and in New Kabul, where there was record turnout to elect an Islamacist mayor.

In reality, he is slapping them in the face for being unable to lay out a clear judicial guideline for what funds he can, and can't pay. Meanwhile some 700,000 ineligible food stamp recipients have been removed. In N
