    Somebody asked the question last night as I was dozing off that I don't know received an answer... If Warnock and Ossoff both win, who is the senior Senator from Ga?

    From this site, the Warnock (Loeffler) seat is up again in 2022, so I'm going to assume the 33 YO Ossoff will be the Senior Senator...

    The opposition and enemy are the plutocrats and kleptocrats. But since they own and control all television stations, all newspapers, the Internet and 99% of social media - now in full book burning censorship propaganda mode, it will remain their singular goal to insure the battle is between the riff-riff - lower class against middle class, race against race, gender against gender, region against region. Anything but any the slightest criticism or opposition to the already richest and most powerful international corporations and people on earth.

    Surely they can quick find another black criminal some cop shot. Someone who said the wrong word to someone. Say the word "corona" another 20,000 times 24/7 each day - all to easily distract the unwashed mobs and herds - as they see us. That's all it takes.

    You? !? We can serve them or try to get out of their way. We're nothing. Absolutely nothing.

    Her federal judge sister has already taken care of that for the next election. Wish I had a related federal judge running cover for me.

    NBC just called the 2nd Ga race for Ossoff.... First I've seen a major site call it....

    Pretty close to official, although I understand the Georgia Capitol is also under some sort of attack today by seditionists...

    His margin is now up to .56, over the recount threshold.... like to see .75 to feel safe on a recount, so Raffensperger doesn't get a chance to "recalculate"

    Fake News. We have a written constitution. It's not modified by tweet or your groundless claim that the President has a role in the Constitutional Amendment process when the Constitution bestows on the President no such power.
    More fake news. Pence will never even attempt such a thing, as he does not have that unilateral power, any more than Joe Biden did, or Kamala Harris will.
    You don't seem to have brought your best game to the discussion tonight.

    So, thinking ahead to fall 2022.

    Warnock is back on the ballot to finally fill that seat for a 6 year term.

    I'm spitballing that Stacey Abrams runs for Gov again at the same time.

    That will be an interesting midterm state fer sure....

    Actually it would be a good idea to expand voting by mail because it essentially NEGATES the efforts by Republicans to SUPPRESS Minority votes. It does not matter how many polling stations they close if the votes are delivered by the USPS.

    Unless the USPS gets closed - it was a pretty close run a while ago.

    Why should we stop complaining? You all did it for 4 years.

    In 2016 it was Russia collusion because the Democrats made up a fake dossier and said the DNC server was hacked.

    I have no problem not talking about fraud as that's over and Biden is president but everything Biden does wrong or we disagree with and yes we will be talking about it here. This is a political forum after all.

    I think we can agree both sides have now played the sore losers game.

    I meant specifically complaining about the fantasy of election fraud. Of course people on both sides should speak up about real things that politicians do that they disagree with. But the fraud garbage is nothing more than a conspiracy theory, and as such no manner of truth or investigating will satiate the tinfoil hat wearing dipshits.

    There is only 3,000 registered KKK members left in America and nobody supports them.

    You all can't get past the white supremacy, kkk stuff because the media has you brain washed or you are the ones doing the brain washing trying to convince everyone the Republicans are all bad. Give it a rest already. Any intelligent person does not believe that b's.

    The Democrats had controll of the entire state at one point in history. This is nothing new.

    When Candace Owens, a black women is nominated to lead the party in 2024 by the majority of Republicans you all won't have that racist b's agenda card to play anymore.

    Someone needs to tell that to the rabid dogs that attacked our government today.

    I don't agree with or support the people who attacked the government building today.

    I also don't agree with any violence, rioting, looting or radical protesting over the last 4 year's.

    I don't care what party is responsible. It's wrong and both sides are guilty of it. Maybe one side more than the other but both sides need to just chill out.

    If seeing what happened four years ago on Inauguration Day and what happened yesterday, doesn't convince Americans that the people they keep re-electing are the problem, nothing will.

    Vote. Out. Every. Incumbent.

    "Rabid dogs"?! Interesting.

    All during the big ANTIFA and BLM riots last year, where those packs of "rabid dogs" went on bloody rampages, day after day, setting fires, looting stores, and destroying everything they could lay their hands on, I don't remember any such criticism of THEM....

    Whataboutism noted. It would be amazing if some folks could put their point-scoring mentality aside and just condemn this traitorous chaos.

    Anyway, I said the summer rioters (distinct from the level protestors) were wrong multiple times on this board. But I save this kind of language for delusional pieces of **** that literally try to tear down our government.

    This comes from someone that claims the Russian stuff on Facebook didn't change any votes in 2016.

    Indeed, it is similar to fraternization in the military: it doesn't matter if the fraternization is ACTUALLY occurring. If there is a PERCEPTION within the unit of fraternization, there is a problem that needs action.

    A basic leadership principle that I'm shocked our nation's leaders don't get.
