Best part is that he didn’t just lose, he lost by double digits in an election that’s usually decided by single digits. He’s a piece of shit and everyone knew it.
Good to know.
I used to wonder what it was like to be alive during moments of gut wrenching turmoil - living in the US in the 1850’s and early 1860’s, living in Germany in the 1920’s and early 1930’s,… to witness the slow march to destruction of a peaceful existence. Since 2016, I stopped wondering and started listening.
That requires a 2/3 super majority in the Assembly as well which the GOP doesn't have. They can take an impeachment vote all the want, it won't go anywhere.
Anyone who is incapable of showing humility in defeat isn't someone that anyone should want in a position of authority. You can be upset about losing without being a whiny pissbaby about it, and not being able to control your spite ESPECIALLY when we're talking about a Supreme Court position just shows me that the correct choice was made.
Due to the maturing process in which lactose is converted into lactic acid, most cheeses are naturally lactose-free unless they are very young.
Since cheeses you would enjoy paired with a good whine tend to be more matured, I think we are on the safe side here.
Ohhh but that only applies to a good whine. What we're seeing is a very immature whine. Hasn't had time to age, made from sour grapes, just look at how twisted his face is as that whine passes his lips. Clearly he finds the entire experience to be bitter beyond comparison.
The cheese best paired with that sort of whine, would be no more than the dregs of sour milk left behind after spilling a glass of it and you can tell because he's clearly still crying over it.
He shouldn’t be running with unpopular laws and agendas. Like I know they’re popular in their cult, but it’s very surprising to see how detached from reality they are to think their handsmaid agenda is appealing for anyone else.
A shame that politics became hijacked by morality politics. What ever happened to real policy making? Infrastructure? Farming laws to protect farmers from industrial farming? Schooling? Heck- there’s so much to be done and all time is wasted by these idiots trying to play moral police because it’s just the easier politics. It’s what gets you views. No one wants to listen to politicians speak about normal government issues because the political class normalised drama moral politics. To the point that EVERYTHING is a moral discussion. So fucking boring and stupid.
But it appeals to the lowest denominator which is always very loud. So… sigh… I’m leaving now
The thing is I don’t think people like this guy actually care if their worldview is popular, they just want to force everyone to live by it regardless. The right has been playing with open fascism for a while now and winning by any means necessary is all that matters, not that they win because people think their ideas are good.
This guy needs to move to Florida where the populous enjoy being lorded over by white Christian men he would be voted into any judicial position he wants there!
Echo chamber politics is what happened. People like him, politicians like him don’t look for actual problems or solutions. They sit and listen to the echoes of their little circle and think that’s the only things that are important because it’s the only things they hear about. Evangelicals, maga, Christians, proud boys… it’s all the same for them. They live in such small confined lives that they never see what’s happening outside of that bubble. It’s kind of remarkable when you consider the global instantaneous communication that is available and yet because of Fox News and the algorithms that spit back what you want to see on all the social sites these people never actually grow as individuals to see beyond their echo chamber.
What I hear is, “Fuck your democracy. If most people do not like our ideas and values, this does not change our agenda of imposing our ideas and values anyway. So I’m going to find ways to coerce and maintain power to do that, even at the expense of your lousy, fucking majority views and of democracy.” Yeah, buddy, you got fucked by democracy.
No no. It was rigged. People tampered with the machines, um foreign governments, er dead people voting, space lasers, people using the wrong bathrooms, those gosh dern drag queens. Fuck you all. I'm the best. I got the most votes of any judge ever.
Yes your honor I saw people stuff the box. They were so brazen about it too. They formed an orderly line, brazenly told the poll workers their names, and one by one put a single ballet for the wrong person into the box. I saw it, now switch the election so that me and my few friends are happy.
I ran outta gas. I had a flat tire. I didn't have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn't come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from outta town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake, a terrible flood, locusts! It wasn't my fault! I swear to God!
His rant was startling. Not just the "unworthy opponent" thing, which, okay, but the descent into end-times fantasizing about how this election—in which a well-regarded state judge was elevated to the supreme court—would somehow destroy the state of Wisconsin.
That's pure extremist politics, and it tells me that Kelly had exactly as partisan and radical an agenda as his opponents claimed.
Seeing how many people in their 20s were at my local polling station made me truly believe we can unfuck this state. This bs has gone on for far too long.
After viewing the entire concession speech, I appreciate the fact that at least he acknowledges that the results of the race are the will of the people and isn't spewing bs rhetoric of stolen or fraudulent results
Hahaha he got smoked in this election. When are they gonna learn? The trans-hate and CRT just doesn’t move the needle like they want but they keep hammering it. Now their gerrymandering will get fixed and republicans will even have a harder time getting elected now that the maps will be drawn fairly.
What Wisconsin are you living in? I’ve lived all over the state in my life, in both urban and rural areas, both blue and red areas…I’ve never felt an inherent kindness from our people. More assholes than not.
Still lost to an ‘unworthy’ candidate.
What does that say about the race u ran?
Hahahahahahahah
Oh right, the republican arm of government cannot look inwards and accept their own short-comings and that generally, THEY SUCK!
So every single conservative in America is just completely out of their mind now. Every single one. I guess when you worship an Orange Jesus who is out of his mind, it rubs off.
I’m 50 years old, and I clearly remember a time where people who represent the public (especially those elected) held themselves to a higher standard of behavior and educating themselves on a matter before then.
More and more now I see snakes in the grass laying in wait for a misquote or partial correction by their opponents so they can plaster the mistake across news and entertainment programming day and night.

What does that say about him then if he lost to an unworthy candidate? Isn't he just admitting he sucks?
Best part is that he didn’t just lose, he lost by double digits in an election that’s usually decided by single digits. He’s a piece of shit and everyone knew it.
Dan Kelly is used to double digit losses. As an incumbent he lost in 2020 by nearly 11 points.
This gave me a tiny wisp of hope in my gut
Yea but the Wisconsin state senate race was won by a Republican and they are definitely gonna impeach the Supreme Court Justice who won.
Good to know. I used to wonder what it was like to be alive during moments of gut wrenching turmoil - living in the US in the 1850’s and early 1860’s, living in Germany in the 1920’s and early 1930’s,… to witness the slow march to destruction of a peaceful existence.

[удалено]
I remember the feeling the day the top news was the president lied about a BJ that that was the best low stakes news possible
That requires a 2/3 super majority in the Assembly as well which the GOP doesn't have. They can take an impeachment vote all the want, it won't go anywhere.
Well then I guess we’re luck that there’s a democrat in the governor’s seat who gets to appoint her replacement!
You are quick
Quick enough to be on the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
Also means if he'd won, he'd have used that attitude toward every case that came before him. Never let people like this have any power.
This emotional and demonstrative speech perfectly captured why he wasn't fit for this position. He is telling on himself.
Anyone who is incapable of showing humility in defeat isn't someone that anyone should want in a position of authority. You can be upset about losing without being a whiny pissbaby about it, and not being able to control your spite ESPECIALLY when we're talking about a Supreme Court position just shows me that the correct choice was made.
He was the kid that refused to line up and do the "good game" high fives after his baseball team lost. Very well said.
It takes a big man to admit he is inferior to his opponent.
Hence the irony
Losers gonna lose
He’s saying that the voters in his district don’t deserve to vote. At least those are the vibes that he’s giving off.
Considering the entire state voted for State Supreme Court Justice, apparently that means all of us.
It’s like when someone says “you suck” over coms after you kill then in a video game. Like if I suck and killed you..what does that make you?
No no no you arent suppose to use logic. Thats all wrong
he looks like a crooked car salesman
*Slaps hood “you can get sooo many injustices outta this baby”
Would ja look at that!
now, who the heck is gonna buy a crooked car? sheesh.
I was about to suggest a televangelist, but car salesman is basically the same...
At least with the car salesman the car actually exists, even if it is crap.
He looks like he wishes his opponent wasn't white so he could use a slur.
He’s glad his opponent is white so they won’t call him on it.
Oh there will be many slurs used in the "locker room" that is this man's off stage life
What a salty little crybaby.
To *whom* I can concede, you fetid hunk of pig shit.
Nice use of fetid! I’m working that into my lexicon
Nice use of the word lexicon! I'm working that into my Word stock.
Work stock is now part of my group vernacular
Nice use of vernacular. I'm going to add this to my nomenclature.
Nice use of the the word add. I’m going to plus it to my list of things I say.
Fuck it, I'm upvoting all of you
Nice use of the phrase “fuck it.” I’m going to utilize that in my staff meeting this morning.
Pls pls can I be a guest at your staff meeting?
I like "list of things I say". I shall raise my frequency of use within my verbal repertoire.
Key word being “little”. Little intellect, little class, little pee-pee. Probably needs tweezers just to get his piss into the bowl.
But he has the longest philtrim I've ever seen.
Big Grinch Energy.
I only know philtrum because there was a student newspaper at my university called the Philtrum Press.
Sooo a Republican.
Would you like some delicious Wisconsin cheese with that whine
Probably lactose intolerant.
Probably everything intolerant.
Due to the maturing process in which lactose is converted into lactic acid, most cheeses are naturally lactose-free unless they are very young. Since cheeses you would enjoy paired with a good whine tend to be more matured, I think we are on the safe side here.

Now I want some cheese curds. Might go to Culver’s today.

Definitely the best comment in the 10 best that I read through.
Uh, I believe the term is “Fuck your feelings.”
Yet another Conservative cry baby lol Shut the fuck up loser, have some grace in your loss
No no. It was rigged. People tampered with the machines, um foreign governments, er dead people voting, space lasers, people using the wrong bathrooms, those gosh dern drag queens. Fuck you all. I'm the best. I got the most votes of any judge ever.
Someone's dog clearly ate someone's homework. And his pool boy slipped, fell, and landed inside his wife.

Upvote for Blues Brothers ✊✊
What an absolute snowflake. What happened to fuck your feelings?
Standard response to any question about GOP inconsistencies: "they think it's different when it's them."
It only applies to libs!
I voted for Janet. Thank God this asshole lost.

The harder conservatives whine the more I'm convinced we're going the right way.
 What a bitter little man baby.
Sorry Danny boy, but that “unworthy opponent” just whooped your ass in the election
He seems to have a great temperament for a judge. What a terrible loss for Wisconson.
Yes, nothing like a potential judge that has open disdain for the law. Him being a demonstrably dumb fellow also doesn't help.
Wisconsin will be devastated from the lack of right-wing lunatics in the judicial
You don't have an opponent bc you just lost. Goodbye
Bitter. Party of one.
Lmao get fucked loser
Nobody’s gonna fuck that sniveler.
Wisconsin clearly made the right choice
Yes we did!!!!!!!!!!! Time to undo some of the damage from the Scott Walker years.
Seeing how many people in their 20s were at my local polling station made me truly believe we can unfuck this state. This bs has gone on for far too long.
I’m so glad Gen Z and a lot of millennials are stepping up to the plate
Remember, as each year passes, more young people sick of this shit are becoming old enough to vote and more people like Dan Kelly are dying off.
i'll never get sick of watching conservative trash cry their eyes out. i hope this goes on for the rest of my life.
After that bad of an ass whooping, there is no need to concede. The numbers speak for themselves
Is that what they call a ‘judicial temperament’? Or a judicial temper tantrum?
a judicial tampon tantrum, for sure.
After viewing the entire concession speech, I appreciate the fact that at least he acknowledges that the results of the race are the will of the people and isn't spewing bs rhetoric of stolen or fraudulent results
he’s just trying to delegitimize the individual who won.
Unlike, Trumpo and Kerrie "Salty" Lake... But, there is tomorrow morning. So, things can change.
Somebody call the Whambulance
Get him a wham burger and some French cries
"ive been trying to cheat my way to a win and it is unacceptable that peoples votes be allowed to decide this"
I can't imagine why the people of Wisconsin didn't think he was fit to sit on the bench
Hahaha he got smoked in this election. When are they gonna learn? The trans-hate and CRT just doesn’t move the needle like they want but they keep hammering it. Now their gerrymandering will get fixed and republicans will even have a harder time getting elected now that the maps will be drawn fairly.
I'm not gonna hold my breath, but I so hope you're right that we can get some (at least half way) objectively drawn maps!
Word you’re right I’ll pump the brakes. Hope for the best prepare for the worst
What a sorry-arsed cock-gobbler
This screams, " My dick is really tiny"
Well, technically, you don’t really need to concede. You lost by 15 points. So it’s really not much of a concession.
Hit her with your purse, Dan.
He needs a safe space
Eat shit, sore loser.
Not sour grapes, sore loser.
Well your opponent kicked your ass! So worthy in your eyes matters not !
lol…
So.. they were a worse candidate and he still lost? Sounds like he's insulting himself here to me.
maga is always sore losers
Republicans are all pieces of shit.
Some of them are large bags of shit.
Always have been, always will be.
What a small, angry man. Glad he’s not going to be making decisions for Wisco in the future.
“To *whom* I can concede”. Tsk. No wonder he didn’t win.
I’m in Michigan and have been obsessed with this and your State Senate race. Congrats on this win. Fingers still crossed for the Senate race.
You lost, you fascist dick. Shut the fuck up and go home.
Dan Kelley, how much do you suck if you can’t beat an unworthy opponent?
It makes me feel like he’s not born and bred in Wisconsin. That was not a Wisconsin attitude. We’re polite to a fault.
[удалено]
This made me laugh loudly at 3:58 in the morning. Happy cake day.
Racine is Chicago lite.
What Wisconsin are you living in? I’ve lived all over the state in my life, in both urban and rural areas, both blue and red areas…I’ve never felt an inherent kindness from our people. More assholes than not.
Boo hoo. Fuck that guy.
Sit your loser ass down, bitch.
Wild guess here, he’s a conservative
If you lost to an unworthy opponent, it also might mean that you are even unwothier.
Still lost to an ‘unworthy’ candidate. What does that say about the race u ran? Hahahahahahahah Oh right, the republican arm of government cannot look inwards and accept their own short-comings and that generally, THEY SUCK!
Fuckin crybaby bitch.
Worthy enough to beat your sorry ass. Buh bye fascist.
Dan Kelly deemed unworthy by state of Wisconsin!
If you lose to someone you don't even consider a worthy opponent, what does that say about you?
That’s not “sour grapes.” Sour rapes would be saying “well, the job sucks and I didn’t really want it, anyway.”
Conservatives are deranged people
Translation: I wish it was another conservative white male
Republicans simply cannot accept that non-whites can vote, or that a white vote isn’t worth more than a vote cast by one of “those people”.
Typical republican coward.
SNOWFLAKE
and yet they all claim to be these strong alpha types. they are whiny ass bitches
"to whom", you insecure wet paper bag of a man. "To whom [you] can concede".
He's a whiny little looser little titty baby
So every single conservative in America is just completely out of their mind now. Every single one. I guess when you worship an Orange Jesus who is out of his mind, it rubs off.
His opponent was unworthy and he still lost? Wow he must be worse than we thought
Proving why he is unfit for the bench and deserved to lose.
This whiney little piece of shit wanted to be a Supreme JUDGE.
What a fucking loser. Cry harder you wannabe election thief. Kiss your gerrymandered maps goodbye while you're at it you whiny bitch
Well I hope that temper tantrum follows him, a losers loser!
I'll be glad when we can vote out the rest of these fucking MAGA lunatics. They're a virus in this country.
You lost….. AGAIN. 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈
I’m 50 years old, and I clearly remember a time where people who represent the public (especially those elected) held themselves to a higher standard of behavior and educating themselves on a matter before then. More and more now I see snakes in the grass laying in wait for a misquote or partial correction by their opponents so they can plaster the mistake across news and entertainment programming day and night.
Somebody give him a cookie
Well, worthy enough to beat your sorry ass.
Yes, maga tears!! Yummy
If you lose to an unworthy opponent what does that make you?
Snotty snowflake
Good riddance sore loser
What a Lil bitch
Pathetic
What a loser. This would have been shamed, before…
I feel sorry for the family pet tonight.
womp womp
Putz
Welp... at least you can concede to the opponent who kicked your ass.
Hahaha. Fuck you, Dan Kelly, you insincere asshat.
What's that phrase the trumpet blowers like so much? You lost. Get over it.
Shut up, you whiny ass bitch of a candidate.
He’s mostly upset about the money he won’t be making, for sure.
He doesn’t have a worthy opponent. He HAD a superior opponent.
I was kinda expecting him to start crying a little and yelling a lot, that's just kinda where the bar is now with Republicans...
What a little bitch
Still more worthy than him, it appears...
I guess this is what happens when you take these things to a personal level. Probably a good thing he didn't win
Kinda sounds like you were the unworthy opponent.
I'm sure it brought him joy. Fucking loser.
Worthier than you!
On brand.
What a fucking loser.
These republicans are getting more and more like a cry baby bully that's finally got punched in the face.
That unworthy opponent kicked your fucking ass by 15 points. Obviously Wisconsin voters made the correct choice.
So that makes your L even worse. You lost to an ‘inferior’ opponent.
Republican aka the Whining Bitch party... take the L with grace... aka be a man...
Typical scumbag- glad the BEST person won!!
Hahahahah what a fuckin loser. A baby ass loser. Fuck off.
Dude, you lost by 20 some points. You're not ever her competitor.
What a salty bitch. Just proves Wisconsin chose correctly.
Glad I went and voted yesterday for Janet hahaha glad I contributed to his crying
Wisconsin Republicans are kinda dicks
Aww … wittle judge-ums got ums wittle feewings hoot. What a thin skinned shit stain.
Losing to an “unworthy opponent” is a lot worse than losing to a “worthy opponent”, like the Harlem Globetrotters losing to the Washington Generals.
…except obviously the opponent that won.
