Oh my god, if McConnell actually loses his power, this year suddenly won't have been that horrible... it is weird to look at it that way, but yes, I would like a "loss" in that way. Just despise him

[bobbie solo]

i hope they win despite how utterly milquetoast they both are. I really do. But remember Joe Manchin is going to fuck everything up w/almost all legislation regardless, so don't get too happy.

Great reminder for the rest of us in the other 49 states that we can do more than just cross our fingers from a distance - Head to Vote Save America to adopt Georgia and sign up for notifications from organizations in Georgia to donate, phone bank, etc. to help Rev Warnock and Jon Ossoff win this thing and flip that diseased turtle, Mitch McConnell, on his blood thinned back.

This is the shit that Rev. Warnock, a senior pastor at Ebenezer Baptist Church, DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING'S CHURCH, is getting:

Warnock under fire for not condemning socialism at debate

Newt Gingrich: How radical is Raphael Warnock? Look at Georgia Senate candidate's record

Yes, Georgia Senate candidate Raphael Warnock is a real radical

They're painting him as the black socialist boogeyman.

Loeffler is worth $500 million and is likely guilty of insider trading. The oligarchs are trembling.

browsing through the comments on Trump's facebook posts is like visiting an insane asylum. These people are deranged, many are talking about how God is gonna turn the election around, and how if they all just join together with the power of prayer he's still going to be president.

On its face that is so obviously stupid and detached from reality, but come on people. If you REALLY think Trump is a religious person, you probably also believe he was a lifelong republican. He's a grifter and you all got played.

Really though, I wonder how these people are going to handle it when Biden is sworn in. They do not sound stable at all.

i’ve read the comments on facebook too. one weird thing i noticed is there’s a lot of both positive and negative comments that come from people who’s locations are listed in nigeria. it’s almost as if facebook commenter is a job in nigeria.

also grifting the religious isn’t hard. they are easy targets. i curse myself everyday because i haven’t figured out how to grift them myself.

Not only is this a WTF as far as "we don't want non-voters voting" but the shit he's saying is just TOTAL BULLSHIT. NOBODY mailed out actual BALLOTS in Georgia, and REPUBLICANS mailed out MASSIVE amounts of VOTING APPLICATIONS! These Republicans also call the practice of mailing out voting applications "ballot harvesting" but that's not ballot harvesting. Ballot harvesting is when you complete an absentee / mail-in ballot and have it delivered to the mail-box/drop-box/clerk's office by anyone other than your relative or spouse, per voting law.

Also, he's going on about "1,700 people who voted twice." Except that was alleged by Bill Barr to have occurred IN TEXAS and it was debunked.

What's that Lou, the lawyers are coming to take you away, haha?

Actually, yeah. Smartmatic is filing lawsuits all over the place, as is Dominion.

[allegate]

[ickyvicky]

That is very weird

[allegate]

Well that's hilarious.

[allegate]

My WHAT?????

Can they not do two things at the same time in Washington? I mean the election is over so do another Impeachment hearing while they're also doing the Covid Cares bullshit bill, right?

[Demogorgon]

Considering how many months it took to get this second bill done, it's kinda obvious they can't even do ONE thing at the same time.

[allegate]

fair point!

Pence doesn’t have to count the votes. He can abstain and then Grassley steps in (pro temp). This is just a formality in U.S. Code, it’s meaningless. It was never meant to circumvent the Electoral College.

Edit: I am SO FUCKING SICK OF THIS SHIT.

The whole RIDICULOUS concept that Democrats pulled off this huge election fraud conspiracy and “attempted coup” by electing Biden BUT SOMEHOW FORGOT TO ALSO INSTALL A DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY SENATE, thereby installing a NEUTERED AND USELESS PRESIDENT AGAINST A REPUBLICAN SENATE THAT WILL BLOCK EVERYTHING is FUCKING STUPID.

ESPECIALLY IN GEORGIA!!

Cheat and elect Biden but somehow FORGET TO ALSO ELECT TWO DEMOCRATIC SENATE SEATS IN THE SAME FUCKING STATE!?

Thereby FORCING TWO RUNOFF ELECTIONS IN JANUARY, which Democrats could still LOSE?

It’s THE WORLD’S DUMBEST COUP ATTEMPT. A fully fucking useless coup!

[allegate]

Oh, so headlines are saying that Perdue and Loeffler support the $2000 checks suddenly? wow, that's ama-

oh right. politics as usual.

[sweeterthan]

i’m so nervous about today. i am cautiously hopeful one minute and then fearful the next. the misinformation and opinions on facebook are getting me riled up.

[allegate]

and in PA they're just like "we don't care about your rules"

[allegro]

^ THAT WAS NUTS! And the whole thing violated Pennsylvania law!

G and I will be GLUED TO CNN ALL NIGHT watching the Georgia returns.

[versusreality]

my gut is that Purdue and Warnock take it.

edit: this country's fucked

[allegro]

Gahhhhhhhh this is a crazy horse race!

Warnock up by 34,700, Ossoff down by *456* WTF!
