Locked. No further comments permitted.Democrats Will Take Both GA Senate Seats; Trump's Tantrums Suppressed Republican Turnout
Jan 5 2021 11:31PM more by SonOfAdams
Tags: LA, Current Events (All tags)

Warnock has been declared the winner over Kelly Loeffler in one of the two Georgia Senate races & Ossoff has now overtaken Perdue. Still to be counted: Votes in the heavily Democratic county, which will put both even more over the top. We'll have more updated numbers by noon EST.

Trump's constant temper tantrum & lies about election fraud only served to suppress the Republican vote!

"If we look at counties where 99 percent of the expected vote has been reported, it seems Republicans were right to be worried. As the chart below shows, the more heavily a county backed Trump in the November general election, the more its runoff turnout tended to drop relative the general." 😛

Thank you, Georgia! Fuck you, Mitch McConnell. The days of blocking issues from being brought to the Senate floor are OVER. Biden will now at least get a discussion on the legislation a Democratic Congress wants. That's right, the Dems will rule both houses, just as Obama did beginning in his 1st term in 2009.

And as for those idiots who're already getting rowdy at protests at the capitol trying to influence the Senate "vote" tomorrow when Pence will be forced to formally recognize Biden as the winner: Knock yourselves out! Black Lives Matter protestors won't be there to get in the way. You can get roughed up by the police all by yourselves! Ahahaaaa! LOSERS!

^ well said!
The sad losers who keep losing can throw their insane tiny tantrums and lame protests tomorrow, everyone knows they are wasting time.

No one will watch, no one cares. They may delay the inevitable until wee hours, so just pissing off people who have to put up with the BS.

Then Biden and the dems take over.

Sedition has consequences!

And yeah hope asshole McConnell is shaking in his jammies tonight. All of his corrupt bullying tactics are about to be paid back with interest.

The thing about abusing power is, when you are pushed out of power... life really sucks, instant karma's a bitch.

Trump's fuck-nutty delusions may have cost Republicans the Senate. They could have stopped him by calling him on his bullshit, but they leaned into it.

Dumbfucks.

For most of his time in office, Trump had no real consistent plan. He often undermined his own goals because he couldn't help himself. He'd deliver a State of the Union speech which fooled some in the press into thinking he had perhaps grown into a mature statesman. Then he'd quickly kill that notion & lose all that goodwill the very next day by tweeting contradictions to his speech,

Especially after his loss of the November election, it's all finally come back to hit him in the face. He couldn't help himself: He mentioned the "rigged election" over & over again even when the purpose of his appearances was supposed to be to bolster the 2 Republicans running for the senate in GA. He broke laws by trying to rig an election after he already lost it.

Now, he ended up suppressing the vote! It took a long time, but payback's a bitch.

The Republicans in Congress & their party will suffer for years to come. Because they could've stopped his yammering & false claims but were so afraid he'd ruin their careers with a mean tweet that they enabled him... & found themselves following him right down the toilet.

it wasn't Trump that cost them the senate, it was mcconnel this past week with the public statements about not sending checks to subsidize the rich. It showed how little concern he had for the public who pays his full salary and how out of touch he really is. Its sad that it cost others their seats and he is still there. Congress would be a better place if they were subject to term limits like others are.

“The days of blocking issues from being brought to the Senate floor are OVER.”



Issues are ALWAYS blocked ... it’s just who decides which ones is changing.


I wanted the Repubs to win at least one of the seats because I like divided government. I like when you have to fight and compromise to get something done. I gridlock is good when it comes to big policy changes.

Shit! This means the high demand for ammo on a national level is going to continue. Prices will continue to climb... availability will be low

Oh well...

The GA wins are good for the Dems... bad for Kamala.

She will cast the deciding vote on hotly contested issues... which the Right will use to their advantage when she runs for the big chair.

Full control usually lasts for two years because most people hate government. Full control for one side usually rallies the other side. The controlling side can’t shift the blame for bad things.

So... let’s see what they do with control.

Any other year I would agree with you on that topic, Kaiser, but you’ve forgotten the wild card.

Trump.

It will take years for true Republicans who embody the ideals of the party to overcome the nonsense of the “true believers”, and Trump keeps making it easier to demonize himself and his ilk, with McConnell’s attempt to retain power on his own terms shredding the alliances to pieces.

Cocaine Mitch gave away those 2 seats when he rejected Trump's 2k stimulus check. Mitch is stuck in 2003 with his neocon and fake deficit hawk ways. And the people were not happy with all the foreign aid in the NDAA while they are given crumbs. People don't care about deficits. They never did.

Without Trump on ballot in 2018 GOP loses 40 house seats. With Trump on ballot they win back like 12 or 13, when everyone expected them to lose 20+ House seats and 5 Senate seats, and get largest share of nonwhite vote for GOP since 1960. Mitch abandoned the Trump base and they, rightfully so, told mitch go fuck yourself

Warnock is up in 2022 so he might turn out to be a Doug Jones. Kelly Loeffler was just a terrible candidate and was appointed by Brian Kemp, whose approval rating has cratered since November 3rd.

Hedge your bets against the US dollar. Money will be flooding the system and then by the time enough people are vaccinated, the bubble is going to burst due to the true reality of the real economy. Only thing keeping a lot of people afloat is government stimulus. Republican or Democrat, was going to happen anyway.

Not buying it. If Trump were serious about $2000 stimulus checks he would have mentioned it earlier in the process. He waited till the 11th hour to through his hissy fit because he was mad that senate republicans didn't ignore the election results and just name him El Presidente for Life.

I don't remember Obama balancing the budget. Please someone correct me if I'm wrong. Neither party cares about the debt and deficits. And the people don't either. Once you mention raising and cutting spending to the public they go ape shit. I always heard Americans being described as socially liberal and fiscally conservative but its actually liberal on both. They are just afraid to admit it. The GOP establishment trashed Trump yet begged him to hold rallies in GA and save the Senate. Hes far too nice. He should've told them to fuck off.

Meant raising taxes and cutting spending. On the ground in GA Republican voters were furious with their governor, secretary of state and the congress establishment. Mitch deserves this defeat and the dems will definitely pack the courts.

America is slowly plunging into a civil war. Make no mistake, it is coming.

And while we will be busy fighting with ourselves, the world will not wait...

China will move on Taiwan, and will also forcibly move into Hong Kong with an iron communist fist.

Russia and Putin will also move on Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. Russia could also move on Eastern Europe as well.

Russia, Turkey, and Iran could move against Israel.

North Korea will move against South Korea.

America has been the world's police, keeping dictators in check since 1945...but we will be incapacitated with our dicks in our hands because a bunch of complete fucking morons want our country to be socialist, so they can either be of the class that gets free handouts, or of the ruling class that has all of the power and money. We will be powerless to stop any of it. And it will change the world stage and the safety and security of America immediately!

Outside of America, people think we're fucking stupid. For the first time, I think they're right.

The republicans have been pretty much practicing socialism but for the rich and large corporations with unnecessary tax cuts and misdirected covid relief. Yes they say it trickles down but for the most part it only ends up in the share holders pockets and they still end up laying off employees.

So who are the opponents in this "civil war"? Whats states will be making up the new confederacy? Its all doom and gloom now lol

Life moves on. In two years the right can take back controls of the chambers of Congress and in 2024 have another crack at the white house. But if your scared in between that time just stay in you bunkers. Life goes on their just politicians people.

Trump told his son to get aspergers when he found out New York prisons don't have McDonalds.

Supply side tax cuts have always been pocketed by the rich. When asked, they will admit that there is no reason to increase production while demand remains constant. It is rule of economics that supply side tax breaks do not grow the economy because there is no increase in demand or production.

Oh, we made sure that everything was on the up and up. Every state has demonstrated the transparency.

So yes, not only are we asking you to accept it, PA, we are saying “suck it. Suck it long, suck it deep, suck it slow and let it tickle your tonsils. Let the burst flow down your nose and beg for more when we’re done.”

Every day for the next four years.

@YellowB2
In regards to Russia. Putin only does things to keep himself and his boys in positions of power they like. Threats to the Baltic states are just feints to make him look strong at home and keep Russians worried about the "old enemy NATO" real. Also it gives him leverage with Europe. Keeps them nervous; he'll back down if can gain something. Really, right now the perpetual status quo as he has it in Europe suits him fine.

China plays the long game; I don't see a move until 2030ish--if/when they become the #1 economy. They'd prefer to wear down Taiwan by bluffing until they've built up enough forces and a strong enough economy that not even a US lead alliance would dare attack. That's assuming they don't just nibble away territory until people just assume everything they want is already Chinese.

North Korea won't invade South Korea. Tubby can't and the Chinese won't let him. That'd make a huge mess involving the US and the possibility of South Korea gaining all of Korea in the end...something the Chinese don't want. Not when they want Taiwan so bad. I don't see it happening ever. If the US is degraded as a non-threat and Taiwan is in their hands they might let Korea unify.

As for Civil war in the US? That's a huge stretch. The last civil war was in the making the day the Constitution was ratified; we had states at the beginning who opposed slavery. Today we have very vocal conservative and liberal groups shouting at each other. They get a lot of attention because it's news worthy but that's all it is. At most you'll get bouts of civil unrest but we're nowhere near the point of having entire states bickering with each other.

Aww, poor luvsblackdicks. All you have left, as always, are the insults. We won fair & square. We rule for the next two years. Biden will overturn ever crooked thing Trump & his cronies/henchmen did. And the Republican sharks will feed upon each other as they blame each other. It'll be a circular firing squad.

Say it loud: Senate MINORITY leader Mitch McConnell. Say it LOUD!

Last night, someone on another blog asked why no one was writing about the Senate race when it was so closely watched. I was the 1st to call it for both Democrats. Where 's my crown?

Pence did have the power he just chose not to use it. Hes a cuck. He could simply reject swing state electors for unilaterally changing election laws without state legislature approval. 9nly play now is if state legislatures DECERTIFY as AZ,PA,WI, MI have indicated by sending letters to VP
