Trump Derangement Syndrome Reaches Terminal Stage as Democrats Seethe

Posted on | May 9, 2026 | No Comments

Are you tired of all this winning yet? If you were on X (née Twitter) Friday, you could see Democrats raging vehemently (and ignorantly) against the Virginia Supreme Court decision, which held that last month’s referendum to redraw the Commonwealth’s congressional districts violated the Virginia constitution. When I traveled to Louisa County for a “Vote No” rally, several of the state GOP people in attendance mentioned the unconstitutional nature of the process by which the General Assembly put the referendum on the ballot. This was not a secret, but many Democrats seemed to have paid no attention to these objections, so that Friday’s ruling took them by surprise. This idiot, for example:

Former Vice President Kamala Harris claimed that the Virginia Supreme Court “ignored the will of the people” by killing the Democrats’ plan to redraw the state’s congressional maps in their favor ahead of the midterm elections.
In a post on X, Harris claimed that the ruling “gives a boost” to President Donald Trump’s efforts to try to “rig” the upcoming midterm elections. Harris also stated that while Democrats were “rightfully outraged,” they would continue their “fight to restore the power of the people.”
“Last month in Virginia, the people made their voices heard at the ballot box and voted for new Congressional maps” Harris wrote. “Today, the Virginia Supreme Court ignored the will of the people and overturned those democratically chosen maps.”

As has been explained, the Virginia state constitution spells out a very specific process by which the constitution can be amended. Just five years ago, the Commonwealth ratified an amendment that set up a non-partisan commission to draw the state’s districts. Last month’s referendum sought to amend that, providing a “temporary” exemption so that the legislature could redraw the map. But if you read the Virginia Supreme Court’s ruling, you see that Democrats rushed this measure through in a way that violated the process spelled out in the Virginia constitution. Most of the Democrats shrieking about the decision simply didn’t read the decision, which explains all this, which is why they are in seethe-and-cope mode, denouncing the Virginia Supreme Court as being part of some right-wing conspiracy on behalf of Trump.

The system is rigged. And Trump and conservatives are rigging it. https://t.co/cVDlqRJigp

Very sneaky of Trump to rig the Virginia Constitution to provide instructions on how to pass a referendum for a constitutional amendment that Democrats couldn’t follow. https://t.co/WDGhThMAcA

Fuck the midterms. Go to war with the court or resign. https://t.co/5s9a1rhA2h

Very convenient that she didn't feel this way until the moment Democrats started losing the battle.

When it was Virginia Democrats drawing a 10-1 map, Abby had no complaints. She didn't give a crap about representation when it was rural Republicans being shafted. https://t.co/uMqO2wkVRM

Let's be fucking clear, you absolute moron:

Virginia's own Supreme Court just ruled 4-3 that your Democratic legislature violated the Virginia Constitution's procedural rules when they rammed through that mid decade redistricting amendment.

They fucked up the timing and process…

— Cynthia Holt (@Ghostofcynthia) May 8, 2026

Please note the source of the confusion: Democrats are laser-focused on winning the November midterms, taking control of the House and impeaching Trump. So they see everything as all connected — last year’s redistricting in Texas, last week’s Louisiana v. Callais decision, and now this Virginia Supreme Court ruling. The Louisiana ruling cleared the way for other states, including both Tennessee and Florida, to redraw their maps to add GOP-favored districts, and the net effect of all this is to make it more difficult for Democrats to win in November. If Republicans somehow maintain their House majority in the midterms, Democrats will miss out on their last chance to impeach Trump, and seeing their hope fade is triggering their Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Virginia Democrats have begun the process of appealing to the US Supreme Court – but in their first motion, they misspelled “Virginia” and “Senator.“

Rough week for Virginia Democrats and their terrible lawyers. pic.twitter.com/TUvXGeBRsv

FMJRA 2.0: Missed It By That Much

Posted on | May 4, 2026 | No Comments

— compiled by Wombat-socho

As I mentioned Thursday, my Senators missed the playoffs by one game, finishing with a record of 78-84 while the Royals slipped into the last wildcard slot with a 79-83 record. I finished second in the Beta division, nine games behind the Twins and seven ahead of the Brewers, sixth overall in the AL. Probably going to take some time this week and crunch the numbers sabermetric style, see who overperformed and who underperformed, who was lucky and who wasn’t, and publish the whole thing on my substack.

I’ve been seized by inspiration (or maybe madness, they’re hard to tell apart sometimes) and begun scribbling a baseball fantasy that I hope has more interesting story and not so much number crunching. Stars an infamous former Yankee turned writer, a former Red Sox slugger filled with fury, a canny third-base coach who finds himself filling the slugger’s shoes, and in supporting roles, a Greek chorus of frat boys and sorority girls in togas, a night watchman at a pork & beans factory, and a slugger who in another time and place becomes GM of the Rangers.
