Virginia house of delegates has gone from 66-34 GOP control to 51-49 GOP control, and there is still a chance control could flip back to the democrats, since a few of the GOP won seats were close enough to require a recount. This is unprecedented.
Anyone out there trying to be a republican but are you tired of your president? All in the twitter. Taking credit for your work. shytting on fellow party members...

US Commerce chief Wilbur Ross divesting shipping interests, official says
8:53 AM ET Mon, 6 Nov 2017 | 03:51
U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross has divested his interests in oil tanker company Diamond S Shipping and is in the process of selling off his holdings in another shipping firm, Navigator Holdings, a Trump administration official said on Tuesday.
Ross had originally intended to retain his shipping interests following his confirmation in February. But the 79-year-old investor came under criticism after disclosures on Sunday that one of Navigator's major clients is the Russian gas company Sibur, a firm whose owners include members of Russian President Vladimir Putin's inner circle.
Information about the business ties between Navigator, which operates gas-carrying ships, and Sibur was based on leaked documents from offshore law firm Appleby that are part of the so-called Paradise Papers, which show details of business dealings by wealthy people and institutions ranging from Ross to Britain's Queen Elizabeth and trading firm Glencore.
Reuters has not independently verified the documents.
"He began divesting his Navigator interests in May," the administration official said of Ross. "He is nearing completion of that process."

An office of government ethics disclosure filed by Ross on June 20 showed that he sold an interest in Navigator valued at $15,001 to $50,000 on May 30.
The official did not provide an explanation for Ross's divestitures. Ross had owned stakes in the firms through several partnerships.
Ross, a billionaire investor who is helping to shape Republican President Donald Trump's trade policy, had told U.S. senators during his confirmation hearing in January that his research showed that retention of shipping interests would not present a conflict of interest. U.S. ocean shipping regulation is handled by the Federal Maritime Commission, a separate, independent agency.
Diamond S Shipping, based in Greenwich, Connecticut, operates 33 petroleum product tankers and 12 crude oil tankers operated under the flags of Hong Kong, the Marshall Islands and Malta.
Ross told media on Monday that he had nothing to do with London-based Navigator's relationship with Sibur and had never met any of Sibur's owners. These include Putin's son-in-law, Kirill Shamalov, and Gennady Timchenko, a Putin associate who is subject to U.S. Treasury sanctions.
Ross said in multiple media interviews that he had fully disclosed his stake in Navigator Holdings as part of government ethics requirements.

If we begin to understand that we need to be out there voting every year, not just every four, we will finally begin to stamp the republicans out all across the nation.
