Heres your breakfast sweetheart. Its the what they call the Midterm Elections and you can cut the indifference with a knife. Midterm election day. Or as people under 65 call it, why are all those old people lined up at the Elementary School. Candidates have said all that can be said. And walked back all that they can regret having said. Very important, dont forget to head down to your local polling place and cancel out your dads vote. Very important. Well, the music and graphics make it official. Its election day.

Information has been pouring out almost daily. House democrats detailed more. You know, parnas of the 11 egor wing of the crukraine conspirac who trump claims not to know but hes pictured with every member of trump world. He sure gets close to the family for someone trump supposedly doesnt know. First, Rachel Maddows sitdown interview with parnas was the interview of the week. Coming up ill talk with rachel herself about that interview but here is a preview of what he told rachel.
