Socialists, globalists, and Jew-haters were soundly rejected by British voters yesterday, and that has got to worry United States Democrats, many of whom have embraced these political positions. Pollsters who had warned that the race was tightening were repudiated by voters who handed a historic landslide outcome to Boris Johnson’s Conservative party, which is now reckoned to end up with an 86 seat majority when all the results are tabulated. Even more pointed for the Democrats is the fact that Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour Party has dipped below 200 seats for the first time in almost a century

It would be great to have a solid Republican majority in the House and Senate in January 2021. Hopefully, with an abundant number of no apology, pro-trump conservative patriots. Very happy for our British cousins. Spot on.

The 2020 election will be a landslide for Trump. The Democrats will lose the House. The rejection of the Democrats will be of historic proportions going back to the 1800's.

If the Democrats cannot see what this impeachment farce is doing to them , I don't expect them to worry much about something happening in Britain.,

The most fun part of the Brit election - -
- - the "Green" party won exactly one seat out of 650.
Maybe they should give it to Greta Thunberg!

Does anyone think Pelosi is paying attention here? Corbyn's massive crushing by fed up Brits is indeed historic and he could have sent Labour into political oblivion for at least a decade. Pelosi and her minions could very well end up doing the same thing to democrats next year. One of the best things about a historic loss of the House next year is all those newbies will not qualify for a congressional pension. Have to be in congress for at least 5 years to qualify. I cannot see the Squats winning several more elections, can anyone with a brain?

As England goes, so too usually goes the USA. Given what just happened to Corbyn and Labour yesterday, the Rats should be very afraid.

Expecting the demosluts to learn anything from Britain is useless. They didn't learn anything when the Russian hoax was found to be false. They merrily marched right into impeachment with no evidence or facts on their side. In their minds, they are right even when all the facts and evidence or even the truth proves them wrong. This kind of mind set is what killed hundreds of people at Jonestown.

The Brits were fed up by having a parliament that promoted Brexit (which passed referendum) fail to implement it.
We are fed up because after winning a house majority ALL the Democrats have accomplished is this weak tea, never ending impeachment BS. Woops, Nancy's all for Trumps NAFTA re-write so they can actually attempt to be bi-partisan ? Looks to me like scared to death and I doubt the voters in this great country will see it differently. Any Democrat who is not rock-solid locked in had better vote against.

Just as potential voter opinions are set on the sham Democrat impeachment inquisition fiasco, those voter’s opinions are already set on the upcoming 2020 election, no matter how much the liberal Democrat biased media talking heads preach otherwise. As the leftist and liberal Democrats have already, through all their presidential candidates, set out their socialist grounded political agenda that will be very unpopular with a big majority of voters in the General Election. In that respect the Democrats, with the assistance of the biased media, will try to change their spots, but that is not going to work.

US Democrats are too blind and stupid to become rattled. They can't see anything beyond their own noses in their neverending quest for power, control and the authority for unlimited taxation. Look how many support socialism when it has ALWAYS failed as a system. Every wasteful program since Lyndon Johnson has been created by democrats. They give themselves constant raises, generous benefits and had the audacity to exempt themselves from their own disasters like Obamacare. The long-termers all become incredibly rich due to abuse of their positions. Thanks to their overreach, Americans have become wise to their every move. The party needs to die.

Thank you, #6, I was not aware of that 5 year rule. It gives me great pleasure to know that AOC will become a bartender again - after her angry followers dump her and her inevitable book flops on the shelves. The same with the two disgusting Muzzie sisters.

Good news in Britain, of course, but here in the U.S...... conservatives, keep your powder dry. Our election is eleven months away.

I don't want the demo-commies/leftards rattled, scared or afraid. I want them to continue acting just like they are as they continue to dig the hole deeper and deeper. I want them totally self-absorbed and clueless as to what is going on right up until the moment they are told to pack their bags and get out. I want it to come as a complete surprise and I want to see every last one running off the cliff along with all the rest. They have been a domestic enemy of the constitution since early in the last century.
It's time to take out the garbage.

In my humble (but accurate) opinion, it's not enough to just see the Dimms lose seats in Congress. They need to be held accountable for their illegal actions. Of course, many (most?) of the Repulsives are in the same boat and deserve the same treatment.
It's not enough to simply vote everyone out, nor is it enough to charge them with crimes and throw them in the slammer. The next Dimm president will simply pardon them all and let them loose. No, I greatly fear something much more drastic will be necessary to right our ship of state. And we haven't even begun to fix the education system yet!

Yes, the Dems would be wise to learn from this. But if they were wise, they wouldn't be Dems, would they?
This all reminds me of a story I was told by a friend's father, who was in his 70s back in the 1960s.
He told me of "The Old Chinese Curse" - which is "May you live in interesting times.", and then explaining that historically interesting times, especially in China, often meant that the peasants were going to get trampled by the warriors, their crops and homes burned, raping and pillaging everywhere, etc.
I am pretty sure we are living in historically "interesting times". Let's hope we can make to the boring times intact, but I really do wonder if a civil war redo is coming. I hope not, but it seems that the other side is dead set on violence, and I wonder if our police forces are up to containing them.
