We have about a week to go. It’s likely the Democrats are favorites to take charge of the planet’s most exclusive, taxpayer-funded nursing home, the U.S. Senate. Odds are 62% the do-nothing Dems will win both houses.

The Dems, with their Democratic Socialists of America ball and chain, might inherit Congress the way a raccoon inherits a dumpster. They’ll discover that “Defund the Police” is easier to chant than to implement once people notice crime in elite coastal areas. And issuing police (Sorry, “community conflict facilitators”) clipboards instead of guns has consequences.

Dems back in charge! We have “immigrants” burning down France, O.J. being tied to the Mafia, a televised execution and Elon’s 330 mph flying car coming out about the same time Tiger Woods gets his driver’s license back. What an exciting time to be alive!

Most of the kids out there do not remember the O.J. trial. I was living in Memphis at the time and was inconsolable when the jury found O.J. not guilty. I had already picked out my TV to loot.

Things are getting crazy; for us satirists, it is like drinking water through a fire hose. Trump’s latest press secretary lasted six days (half a Scaramucci, yet twice the length of time of the Iranian peace “memorandum of understanding”).
