Selfish DeSantis Takes Entire Red Wave For Himself
Babylon Bee ^ | November 10, 2022 | Staff

Posted on 11/11/2022 10:40:42 AM PST by Twotone

The 2022 midterm elections ended with a heap of disappointments and shattered expectations for the Republican party. As the nation waits patiently for final tallies to trickle in and determine party power, one thing is for certain: Florida governor Ron DeSantis selfishly hoarded the entire red wave for himself.

GOP insiders are livid at DeSantis, claiming there was plenty of red wave to go around.

"While we're glad to see DeSantis win Florida, it's obvious he didn't need the whole batch of red wave to get the job done," said Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, the GOP puppetmaster adept at appearing to do nothing for the Republican party while working tirelessly behind the scenes to actually do nothing. "We could have used some of the stuff in Georgia, Nevada, and Arizona. Did we get any? Nope."

Donald Trump has appeared unphased by his young rival's selfish stockpiling of precious red wave, an act that purportedly made the 45th president's handpicked MAGA candidates look like incompetent morons, costing the party vital seats in the House and Senate. To demonstrate how unfettered he was by DeSantis, Trump went to TRUTH Social and Truthed, "Little Ronnie DeSelfish won't know what hit him when I very soon will reveal a redder, wavier wave, bigger than any wave that's ever waved. Huge wave. Huge, red wave!"

At publishing time, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy was seen at the front door of the Florida Governor's home, begging for just a little red wave.

Anyone in the States who sincerely cares about election integrity needs to go and have a talk with Florida. If a state like that can do it, why can't these others?

(Oh, wait...)

That is all good news.

Now here is the bad news.

In a first term President off-year Congressional election on average the opposing party gains twenty seven House of Representative seats.

More than that is success.

Less that that is failure.

Cold equations.

So—while many state and local Republican leaders deserve congratulations on an excellent job, the national Republican Party gets a low grade.

With all the Dem voter fraud going on, the current numbers are a miracle.

So, the “Red Wave” and whatever analysis of its occurrence that appears is just a product of the fevered mind of the Leftist press.

Why are we listening to Leftist BS about polls and leads before the election? They created the “Red Wave” so they could destroy it.

Meanwhile, Pennsylvania elects a turnip to the US Senate without comment. The silent “press” was mortified by Fester’s debate performance, right?

Absolutely PERFECT!

McConnell has plenty of faults, but he’s the one who got Trump’s judicial nominees rammed through the Senate, and that’s a long-term plus for America.

**************************************************************************

And the LOWEST GRADE GOES TO LINDSEY GRAHAM. He’s largely responsible for changing the focus of the election from the economy and the border to abortion. He should get an ‘F’ from the Republicans and an ‘A+’ from the DemocRATS.

Leave abortion to the states where it Constitutionally belongs!

“...unphased...”

Come on, BB! This is no time for mailing it in.

Presumably, the term you were groping for is “unfazed”.

__________

Are you unphased or unfazed?

Writing for Business
Published: 10 Feb 2020

Which is correct?

The user-training for the new business intelligence software was extensive, in the hopes that employees would be __________ by the change.
a. unphased
b. unfazed

Answer: b.

Explanation:
A phase is a stage; the word is usually a noun. People may go through phases but we don’t say they’re phased when they do so.

Faze, on the other hand, only means to disrupt someone’s composure. It comes from an Old English word, fésian, meaning to frighten or to startle into flight.

Interestingly, we only seem to use faze in the negative sense. Someone is not fazed by something or was unfazed — you don’t hear about people being fazed.
