Georgia Senate Runoff

Forums:

Fate of the Senate will be decided tomorrow in Georgia.

 

So much relies on tomorrow's vote. It's not just the fate of the Senate, it's the fate of the nation.

 

This.

True. True.

Tuesday's Election Day forecast for Georgia;  Slight chance of showers in the north due to a passing weak cold front, otherwise, partly sunny skies, highs generally in the 50's in the north, 60's in the south,  with widespread voter intimidation, occasional voter suppression, with expected calls of fog / fraud later in the night....

whoop whoop

Fingers crossed, legs crossed, eyes crossed, and I tied my pecker in a knot for good measure. A critical day for our country's future. This country may owe Stacey Abrams a real debt of gratitude soon. 

Alot of drama queens up in here.  You and everyone else will be fine regardless of the outcome.

Yeah, we will be fine, but let's make it as fine as possible.  

hoping corporate dems win so you can get a one time payment of 2000$ and never m4a. 

so funny but sad. 

america = failed state. 

Apparently Pheat is hoping corporate Republicans win so we can have no $2000 and no M4A.

I'm not getting a payment either way but sure would like to see some businesses back on a payin' basis( apologies to Quint)

i hope the dems wins and do the right thing -- i have no faith they will do what's right if they happen to win. 

your guy biden wasn't even supportive of the $2000 checks, pressure from bernie made biden commit to it. 

so if these fools win -- we get a vote on m4a? so when (if) it makes it out of congress biden can veto it. 

 

>so if these fools win -- we get a vote on m4a?<

 

Doubtful.

Even if the House passes it, m4a will not get the 60 votes required for cloture in the Senate. The democrats in the senate would have to eliminate the filibuster. 

 

 

exactly. nothing will change. biden will make sure of that as well -- he has said as much. 

look at what the establishment has people doing -- cheering for zero change. 

wild and amazing. 

 

>cheering for zero change<

 

That's just factually incorrect.  One example is Biden's climate agenda. It's vastly different from Trump's and is more aggressive than previous Democratic presidents have proposed. 

 

 

 

 

Sky screamers gonna scream...

 

Will Republicans still support the 2k payments if the Democrats win control of the Senate?

 

The 2k is dead if Republicans retain control of the Senate, that's certain. 

i feel like my dollars' already losing its purchasing power quickly.  I paid 40 f'ing bucks for a package of 5 undershirts with no sleeves this week.  

M4a

m4a

ad Infinitum 

 

your pyramid is  frozen  but your anger is not constrained 

enjoy being you.  Sheesh 

Reporting from the ground, it's an absolute shit show here.   And while the presidential election went blue, I'd be shocked....shocked I tell you....if both races went blue.   If I was a betting man I'd put my money on red for both races.     

The political ads are relentless including banners on planes with a fetus.   $800 million spent that could have gone to food or housing.  Sad.  All up in smoke.    

I do see this state trending blue in the future.  It may take some time, but there has been a lot of change in the decade-plus that I've been here.   

 

 

 I was suspecting that these elections would both be big red wake up calls. 

Meanwhile in PA the Republicans have staged a coup by refusing to swear in a Democratic Senator who is the certified winner of his district which has been up held by the court.

Be careful how much chaos you sow, it may just take a nice chunk outta yer own ass.

this is like fucking kindergarten.

Kindergarten teachers are usually dictators.   

If you are into reading tea leaves:

So far, we've got a decent cohort of rural, extremely Republican counties that are below 90% of November turnout levels. That's got to worry Rs, b/c we know at least DeKalb - the biggest Dem vote trove in the state - is going to be *above* 90% of its November turnout level.

Initial returns look promising with both Ossoff and Warnock with solid 10 point leads with 40% reporting.  

In lieu of my more typical taco based tues. activities,  I opted for chipped beef on toast (S.O.S.), made with corn and leftover chuck roast...   perfect for electoral digestion!!!

Georgia On My Mind

The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia

The Devil Went Down To Georgia

When It's Peach Pickin' Time In Georgia

Hot 'Lanta

Oh, Atlanta

Results are tightening up fast.   Will be a long night.

I don't watch regular TV and missed out on all the election ads in 2020 but made up for it in spades last week when I was down in North Florida visiting the folks.  They have the TV on all the time and the Jacksonville TV market includes SE Georgia, so I was exposed to nonstop ads for this election. The short of it (according to the ads) is that Offsoff is a Chinese agent and Warnock hates god, the military, and white people.

Ain't no need in y'all a treatin' me this way

Atlanta votes yet to be counted - that should tip the scales in our favor

Congratulations to the new Senate Minority Leader, Moscow Mitch.

NPR is reporting R's are ahead? I guess covid is taking it's sweet time smarting up the gene pool. : (

just now from New York Times

>The Democrats now appear favored to prevail in both of their Senate races in Georgia, and therefore are the favorites to take control of the U.S. Senate, writes Nate Cohn. Read his latest analysis:

haven't counted mail in ballots yet...Wasserman (Cook) has called it for Warnock, suggested based on county levele dTa that Purdue and Loeghler are dead meat.

 Economist data guru called both D.

 

So, if the Repubs win this, how do they justify fraud in the BIG election???

Oh, wait. There is no justification of fraud at all.

So good luck to whichever douchebag wins these deals.

Donald has already suggested fraud.

duh

Lol Lance.

Isn't trump supposed to wait until his team is losing to cry fraud? lmao.

Trump started crying fraud months before the election in November.

The race still seems close but Democrats are overwhelming favorites to prevail, including Jon Ossoff, who still trails David Perdue by a narrow margin. The remaining vote is from heavily Democratic counties.

Wasserman has seen enough, Warnock and Osseff win.

Get ready for Senate Minority Leader Bitch McConnell.  

I bet some of those old fart Republicans down in Georgia went to bed with the Loeffer and Perdue in the lead and will wake up only to find that there had been "secret ballot drops" late at night that stole the election again - Doh!

You have a Jew and a black man as the two Senators from Georgia while white supremacist are rioting and screaming fuck the police in DC. MAGA

Rev. Warnock's mama PICKED COTTON. 

First black senator from GA.

Second black senator from the south since reconstruction.

Gag-ulater will soon post about how the real winner is China!

bye ren ????

 

tail between legs - sulked away - stay that way >> supporters of mobster traitors get bad juju

Correct, LLTD.

When will the REAL truth be known, "Bryen"??

Hahahahahaha we're all waiting for your reply!

(no, strike that, actually none of us are).

But how were your drinks alone in the Russian Tea Room?

I wonder what their thoughts on Trumps failed coup attempt is?

Hats off to Stacy Abrams, and Thank you

bernie should be senate majority leader. 

Bry can't log in today, he is outside screaming at a mailbox 

The Senate Republican  and Democratic floor leaders are elected by the members of their party in the Senate at the beginning of each Congress.

Don't think Bernie's gonna get there.

I can see clearly now, the trash is gone

It's a GREAT morning! THANK YOU Stacey Abrams! That woman changed our country. Dedicated on-the-ground grassroots work.

I predict there will be plenty of boo hooing around here anyway 

What if:

 

Don the Con is in a long troll of the repugs for basically throwing him out of the primaries his first tries.

Maybe it was his plan all along to blow up the party. 

I first thought this when he got Sessions out of the senate thus ending his political career

Plenty of evidence that Trump is a Useful Idiot backed by Putin in order to destabilize America.  The question is: are the Trump loyalists being manipulated by Putin or are they simply power hungry traitors

I think you're right at a fundamental level, but I don't believe Trump would've been copasetic with the GOP had they not "crossed" him;  rather, he's always been and always will be engaged in a perpetual game of cut-throat.  The only team he's ever concerned about is himself.

When Warnock and Ossoff are seated, Democrats and Republicans will each control half of the seats in the Senate.

But the Democratic half will represent 41,549,808 more people than the Republican half.

Pretty bad quarter for the pubs.  Two of three branches gone

Will get better for America when Congress and POTUS  seat more justices. Need to undo the damage ASAP

The Trump card was played again, and produced another losing hand

 

ride with Trump and loose your seat

>>>Hats off to Stacy Abram

She's kicked some serious ass and people have taken note.   

 

 

I hope that Rush Limbaugh is coherent enough still to appreciate what is happening
