I’m not sure when I’ll finish this rant, but I just turned off the TV and it’s now clear the democrats will have “control” of the U.S. Senate and Moscow Mitch’s obstructionism will be relegated to the “minority” position as will ALL the republicans who were committee chairpersons, including Lindsey Graham, who committed almost as egregious an election fraud violation as individual 1 in his own now infamous phone call to Brad Raffensperger (hopefully, now, subject to Congressional Sanction), will be in MINORITY positions in their committees. While Raphael Warnock has CLEARLY defeated Kelly Loeffler (she of the SEDITION caucus – I have to wonder, will she still show up tomorrow, and if so, will she be welcome?) and, it appears, there’s little chance David Perdue can overtake the 3500+ vote lead Jon Ossoff is going to bed with because MOST of the remaining votes will come from three counties with anywhere from 70% to 90% of the “mail in vote” (which is what remains) going to the two democrats.
My best guess is Ossoff will defeat Perdue by a larger vote than Joe Biden beat individual 1 in November and the reason, likely, will be the lower turnout in the heavily republican counties which was somewhat predictable for multiple reasons, not the least of which was the antics of our IMPEACHED so-called two time popular vote LOSING president. I believe even Southern conservatives in a place like Georgia can be turned off to a president and members of HIS party committing SEDITION, LYING through their teeth, and claiming “why vote?” when the election is “rigged?”
So, now people like Brad Raffensperger, Georgia’s Secretary of State, one of his officials, Gabe Sherman – who I’ve come to admire, and Georgia’s republican governor Brian Kemp – Raffensperger and Kemp experts at voter suppression (obviously, this time no match for Stacy Abrams, but…….. I’m thinking how will they respond to Georgia turning “blue?”) are going to be receiving blistering attacks from individual 1. I don’t do “Twitter” but, I’m guessing the attacks have been well under way as the evening has unfolded – especially, since the way this played out was similar to the November election. The DeKalb and Cobb County votes came in late and were the difference for the democrats. During the night I was calculating how many votes remained in those counties and ever when Ossoff was behind be well over 10,000 votes I was pretty sure he would end up winning. (Kind of reminded me of Pennsylvania)
The democrats voted early and MANY voted by mail. The election officials count the same day voting first and then the early vote and then the mail in vote. It was predictable the republicans would lead early (although, in some counties the early vote was counted prior to election day, or so it seemed). The bottom line was, just as in the General Election the democrats were MORE enthusiastic than the republicans. Keep in mind, Perdue had a 2% advantage in the General Election and fell below the 50% threshold at the end when the DeKalb and Cobb county votes were finally tabulated – at the same time Biden overtook individual 1’s early lead. Part of the fault here lies with our IMPEACHED so-called two time popular vote LOSING president because he was adamant in encouraging republicans NOT to vote by mail. Honestly, he’s really NOT a “stable genius.” In fact, he’s not “stable” and he’s CERTAINLY no genius.
Individual 1 will be leaving town with an as yet to be determined MESS on the hands of democrats to “clean up.” Yes, there’s the pandemic, the botched rollout of the vaccines, the need for more stimulus, the country is terribly divided, there are militia groups run amok all over the country who are threatening violence when they don’t get their way, and on and on – but, we still don’t know the complete level of this MESS because, as I’m writing this, individual 1 still has 14 more days in office – and, who knows what he’ll do. I wrote earlier today, I won’t be surprised if he tries the Michael Flynn approach to remaining in power – and, that would be declaring martial law and calling in the military once the Congress affirms the Electoral College votes as official tomorrow January 6th.
Just as I had predicted a couple weeks ago, our IMPEACHED so-called two time popular vote LOSING president is expecting his V.P. Mike Pense to figure out a way to overturn the election on January 6th in his “ceremonial” position as the person who counts the Electoral College votes and then declare Joe Biden and Kamala Harris the president and vice president elect. I suggested he won’t be too happy with Mr. Pense once he hears the words “Biden won” coming from his mouth. Seriously, individual 1 is completely DERANGED but, last night at the final campaign rally in Georgia – where he helped the republicans LOSE just as he had a few weeks earlier (only by larger margins, just sayin) – he even THREATENED “our great Vice President” should he fail to “come through.” Yikes!! (What on earth does that mean?)
Also tomorrow, we’re going to see 12 (actual) republican Senators (and Ms. Loeffler, apparently) along with something like 140 republican members of the House, COWARDS one and all, object to the reality Joe Biden was dutifully elected the 46th president of the United States and they’ll cement their legacies as members of the “Sedition caucus” of the 117th U.S. Congress. I would love to see someone with lots of money (are you reading this Michael Bloomberg or Tom Steyer) buy a plot of land in our nation’s capital and erect a MONUMENT with ALL the names of those who choose to participate in the nonsense of OBJECTING to Biden’s election tomorrow. As the song goes, “Wouldn’t that be lovely?”
There’s so much to get done, but let’s not kid ourselves, the democrats don’t really have more than a razor thin edge in the Senate and I was listening to one person with much more knowledge than myself today who suggested they DON’T have enough votes to get rid of the filibuster. Apparently, Joe Manchin from West Virginia, the most conservative of the democrats, will not support the so-called “nuclear option,” so, I’m guessing Moscow Mitch will continue to be able to OBSTRUCT the “will of the people.” If enough republicans prove willing to work with Biden and the democrats maybe it won’t be necessary, but with McConnell leading the republican caucus that seems to me to be a real reach.
The Georgia runoffs won’t be officially over for another couple of days and there’s a good chance the difference between Perdue and Ossoff will be inside the margin which would trigger an recount and, if Perdue is anything like individual 1, he’ll demand at least three recounts. As I’m writing this Ossoff’s lead has increased to over 9,500 likely increasing in the days ahead – maybe enough to get past that 0.5% margin requiring the recount. So, we’ll have to wait until the Senate is officially 50/50 but that’s what is going to happen. Of course, if democrats were a little “brighter” they’d have a more substantial majority in the Senate – but, their overwhelming focus on defeating individual 1 and blundering positions like failing to refute the “defund the police” movement caused them, in my view, I believe they SHOULD have won in Maine, North Carolina, and Iowa among other opportunities. But……………….
Final Thought: Individual 1 has DAMAGED this great nation in so many ways, but one of the ways many aren’t talking about is the issue with our traditional allies around the world. Yes, they realize Biden will be much more reasonable to work with, but they also see the turmoil going on in America, they see the number of Americans who actually voted AGAIN for our IMPEACHED so-called two time popular vote LOSING president and, who knows what will happen in 2024. Let’s face it, Biden won’t be running for re-election at 82 years old – just aint gonna happen. Kamala Harris will be the likely front runner – in fact, as I’ve stated in more than one post, I believe she may be our 47th president – I’ll let you picture how republicans are going to react to that. But, our allies don’t know how “we the people” are going to react to that. Could another right wing wack job gain the “White House” once again? I’m suspecting our allies will be very reticent to agree to much of anything over the next few years until or if America re-establishes herself as the “shining beacon on the hill.”
I’m tired, it’s late and Ossoff has a lead of almost 13,000 (and growing – more than Biden won Georgia). I just saw one of the “Tweet’s” I suggested will be coming fast and furious from individual 1 and his republican sycophants. He’s suggesting “Mike Pense is going to be the hero tomorrow” or words to that effect. “Hero?” of who? The Proud Boys? The “Atomwaffen?” the “3%ers?” the “Patriot Prayer?” etc. etc. Here’s the deal: There’s NOTHING Pense can (LEGALLY – of course, that isn’t an obstacle for IMPEACHED so-called two time popular vote LOSING president – yep, the “law and order” one) do to change the result of the November Election. The votes have been certified by ALL 50 states and the Electoral College has “spoken.” It’s all over.
Individual 1, just a couple days ago, by calling and threatening the Secretary of State of Georgia, increased the likelihood he’ll be facing legal jeopardy after January 20th, so, apparently, he’s thinking, why not throw a bit of gasoline on the fire. But, does Mike Pense want to be facing legal jeopardy so individual 1 will “continue to like him?” Honestly, I don’t put anything past our mob boss of an IMPEACHED so-called two time popular vote LOSING president so hold on to your “bottoms” over the next 14 days. I’m telling you, the importance of Joe Biden’s Attorney General is becoming more important by the day. Doing an “Obama” – which would be “looking forward instead of back” would be CRIMINAL in my view. When you take an oath to defend the constitution from all threats foreign and domestic that’s EXACTLY what needs to be done.
I listened to Hakeem Jeffries today, a member of the House whom I respect, actually use that “look forward instead of back” phrase when he was approached about individual 1’s phone call to Raffensperger which was clearly felonious behavior – and, more importantly, IMPEACHABEL behavior. And, there’s no limit on the number of times a president (even one who’s already been IMPEACHED) can be IMPEACHED and individual 1, at a minimum SHOULD be IMPEACHED once again. No matter what his voters think, it is IMPERATIVE “we the people” DEMAND our leaders are held accountable for LAWBREAKING! This garbage has got to stop!
I’ll be back, likely soon, because tomorrow (now today as I’m writing this) should be an historic day where a long list of republicans will be cementing their legacies as seditionists. They have no obvious courage and they’re afraid of individual 1 and all the white Americans who believe they are the aggrieved victims of our society. It’s like they are unable to understand what “white privilege” actually is and their anger, in some instances, should lead to arrests and legal consequences. As you can maybe tell, I AM a supporter of a “law and order” president and my hope is Joe Biden will be one. Stay tuned………………….
