Most of the outstanding votes favor the Dems. The see-sawing and speculating are killing me. I'm gonna watch something trashy and check in during ads, maybe.
But wait, something to chew on before you go...
Could be foolish optimism, but I don't think VP Q-tip will do it, and if he did I think the courts, even SCOTUS, will smack him silly.
That was all trump.

I remember seeing a pic of her wearing some blue jeans and a trucker hat surrounded by some Georgia redneck cosplaytriots trying to show her constituents that despite her 500 million+ net worth she's still one of them.
Warnock and Ossof probably have more in common socio-economically with these types than Loeffler and Perdue, but rural white folks will still vote for the Republican candidates.
One of life's greatest mysteries.
I figure this has something to do with said life's mystery, amongst other things.
I 'spose. Idk.
Some rain on the parade - It may appear that Schumer is in charge, but the real Senate Majority Leader will be Joe Manchin, D(INO)-WV.
Yeah, Manchin has to do what he has to do to keep his seat in ruby-red West Bumfuque, and he's capable of tossing in a monkey wrench. But on most things, I'm guessing he'll be like a redneck version of Susan Collins. A lot of harummph before rolling over.
It's sad that we're reduced to praising officials for not doing what everyone other than former PINO and moronic Trumpettes know and have loudly said is illegal.
I have no problem with piling on 45SHOLE and Moscow Mitch, but we should not forget that Loeffler and Perdue are especially miserable humans, and that all this is a sign of the GOP at large being rotten to the core.Republicans are 'privately furious' at Trump over the Georgia election losses
... "Trump is the cause of this, lock, stock, and barrel," one Republican strategist told Politico. "But when you're relying on someone to win you a Senate race that also lost statewide eight weeks prior, you're not in a position of strength." A senior Senate GOP aide, when asked why Republicans lost on Tuesday, said, "Donald J. Trump." Some Trump allies pushed back, blaming Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) for refusing to hold a vote on $2,000 stimulus checks. The Republican candidates, Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue, also took friendly fire....
Yes, they are miserable excuses for human beings, but - particularly in Loeffler's case - made much worse by Trump. Nevertheless, sorry humans though they may be, they would still have been elected because of the (R) beside their name if it weren't for Trump's most recent idiocy.
