Georgia’s runoffs for Senate control should be a referendum about Mitch McConnell, perhaps the most unpopular dude in politics. Hope Dems make it so.
How’s this for getting out the Dem vote in GA runoffs for Senate control? John Lewis presided over the House vote to restore the Voting Rights Act gutted by Mitch McConnell’s Supreme Court, who has kept that legislation sitting on his desk for a year, never allowing a Senate vote.
Georgia Dems, don’t forget this is how Mitch McConnell will use power if you let him keep it: “The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president.” (National Journal, 2010)
Barack Obama’s new book, on Mitch McConnell: What he “lacked in charisma or interest in policy he more than made up for in discipline, shrewdness and shamelessness — all of which he employed in the single-minded and dispassionate pursuit of power.”
Power does not corrupt men; fools, however, if they get into a position of power, corrupt power.

Craig – That is a brilliant angle. Personally, I hope 2020 does its job and whatever the hell made his hands gross takes him out of the game completely. But just in case, vote your Ossoff! and for Warnock, too. Flip the Senate…and Yertle will be on this back.
Hey, Happy Friday the 13th, 2020. Yikes
Bink – The city-bikes we’re dumped everywhere in the city and suburbs. I don’t see racks around here anymore. Maybe downtown. I know they had problems with folks getting hurt with e-scooters, operators and pedestrians. They tried their best to destroy those bikes, too. Tried to rip the lights off of them, but they were sturdy. It’s not like Denmark where folks feel real community and don’t try to ruin it for everyone else.
Can the workplace be made so miserable that they will leave? Can they be prevented from accessing intel, because they ARE moles.
Piling treason upon treason.
i say run on Mitch the way they run on Pelosi
dailykos ran this re mitch last week and i wonder if it had impact or got any notice:
craig, they need to remind GA black voters how mitch brags about blocking obama. example from last year on fox:
Thank you Arizona for honoring John McCain.

Great GBS quote

I hate McConnell as much as I hate trump. Think I’m gonna have to get me a copy of Obama’s book… sounds like a great read.
prisoners of war….
Is Mitch running for GA Senator? No?
Then: relentless, juvenile attack ads against Perdue and Loeffler.
When will Dems realize attack ads are the only effective kind? 100 more years of losing elections taking the “high road”?

What do we think about speculation Hillary could be offered UN Ambassador? Podesta on CNN today signaled she’d take it.
Yes.
Hillary for AG!!!! And she can lock him up!
On Friday the 13th a long time friend called to say his 22 year old daughter who insisted on hanging with friends without a mask, going to college & working, and not wearing a mask at home, has given Covid to him, his wife, and 15 year old son. He’s frantic & terrified. And that useless, orange, bucket of lard is AWOL!
I suggested quite awhile back that Hillary was a natural for an Ambassador position. At the time, I was thinking St. James, but UN is even more appropriate as it combines her resident state with her international experience. If she wants it, I think Obama just might owe her a huge favor or two.
Craig
Maybe you can explain it to me. Why does the GOP want to cater to their most ignorant and/or racist constituents when they do have honorable policies that could be sold. Is the lust for power and greed so great they, or at least McConnell, willing to burn down the house rather than take a chance on a return to sanity?

TX AG, Paxton, is a typical, dirty Republican
GA should definitely use Mitch blocking Obama to get out the vote. There’s plenty to go on with the Uber-wealthy Perdue and Loeffler that folks will hate, though. Loeffler downplaying the virus while she sold stocks, for instance.
Jamie, I think your question answers itself. Power is all they care about.
We can see where Susan Rice, possible SOS stands, she tweeted about UN Ambassador talk: “This is ridiculous and an insult to @HillaryClinton. Stop. Please.”
If he’d ever just figured out how to ACT like he gave a shit, he coulda won.
Here’s proof that intelligence is not fungible with respect to different areas of expertise.

Good thing he isn’t as bad at electric cars as he is at medical chemistry.
NBC calls Georgia for Biden, putting him at 306 in the electoral college.
People should stand outside the Whitehouse and chant loser loser loser loser and sore lose alternating with bad sport
KC, how about them chanting “Get out of our House”
306 Electoral College votes for Biden, what Trump got in 2016 and called it a landslide. Joe also won popular vote by more than 5 million, which Trump lost. Landslide!
talk about an understatement – boy, did they ever “screw up” – bigly

DHS boss Chad Wolf defies Trump order to fire cyber chief Chris Krebs

“People should stand outside the Whitehouse and chant loser loser loser”
Just ignore him- that’s his greatest fear
Stevie said it. LANDSLIDE….
lol, even the online version of the New York Post is a rag
Lame duck loser Donald Trump playing president now in the Rose Garden
Trump in Rose Garden sounded uncertain about the future of his admin, but still clinging to false hope he could somehow win an election he lost: “Whatever happens in the future, who knows which administration it will be. I guess time will tell.”
Time has spoken, dumb ass
Trump repeatedly attacks NY Gov. Cuomo, guess he won’t be asking for that pardon he’ll desperately need in NY courts.
So many lies, these ppl have no shame
Pogo. That works
Bink. That is what should happen but it isn’t
so loser loser loser
Trump takes no questions. Why should he? He’s irrelevant.
the vaccine was his idea, no one else thought of it
Gov. Cuomo responds to Trump’s threats to withhold vaccine from NY next year: “Luckily, he won’t be here” (CNN).
Craig
Thanks for the Trump Rose Garden report. Now I don’t have to hear his voice. That damn asshole loser will lie to the end of his days.
On Hillary at the UN, she’s a natural fit. Whoever Joe chooses is fine with me. Hillary will always be a hero to me because of CHIPS and what it meant in my life because of Ashley’s head injury. I’m biased :0)
Gov. Cuomo reminds Trump: “You have New York prosecutors who are suing him for tax fraud. He has possible criminal exposure there.” (CNN)
For a guy who hates losing, Trump is managing to lose three times. He lost the votes. He lost his lawsuits. He’s going to lose the recounts.
Tony, watching a humiliated Trump was fun. He even forgot to get his hair dyed.
Maybe Koch should help fund the run-offs for Ossoff and Warnock, just to show everyone how much they want to bridge that divide.
He’s also losing his mind.
He’s totally humiliated. And the longer it goes on the more humiliated he’ll be. That’ll do for now.
The reckoning cometh, however.
Now if Biden gets a Nobel prize…….lolol
Concession alert? No hair dye
i’ll breathe a sigh of relief when President Biden is sworn-in, not until😬
Will Trump run for office. Can felons run for office?
I’m with her, turn the other cheek, hell no!
tony, that depends on which of the 4 cheeks everyone has. think of the 2 nether ones you have bare and turned up directly pointed at him 😉

Well, it’s interesting timing that SFB’s grand-spawn have been withdrawn from their school, since they’ll be vacating DC soon, anyway.
https://www.cnn.com/2020/11/12/politics/kelly-loeffler-raphael-warnock-attack/index.html
Yep. Listen to Warnock’s response to Loeffler’s negative ad. She’s a white supremacist and “socialism” is the new code word for racists.
So many Christmas lights up already. I’ve never seen it like this around here.
Charles Koch has always been the most purely Libertarian of the Kochs with a decided commitment to sharing the wealth to charity and community particularly with emphasis on art and education.
As with any “ISM”, it fails. It seems that he has come to that realization finally if possibly too late.
Certainly putting his funds in “at the bottom” would be a sea change for both libertarians and the even more benighted Republicans. You can’t pull yourself up by your bootstraps if you have neither boots or straps. That is where the money needs to go.
The campaign of @realDonaldTrump and @tuckercarlson reported that these two people somehow voted from the grave in Georgia. @11AliveNews found they are “very much alive despite claims – and they voted legally.” https://t.co/TLNGSIJ8yn
“Just For Men” was trending on Twitter earlier tonight. LOL!

Too bad about those PA lawsuits. 👍🏻‼️😜
i feel like we all should buy the Georgia vote-counters burritos as a thank you for their service since Republican cry-babies are forcing them to do their volunteer job three times
How can we get these good people burritos?!?!
i have $8 right here for them. $8 buys a good burrito ANYWHERE

The grifter-in-chief only has so many days left to keep crying foul in order to bilk idiots out of their cash.
