Joe Biden is now POTUS

nigga got a month left and talkin bout he wanna quit.............
naw hoe.........be a failure to the very end. go down with your ship bitch.
There are many ways to look at this story and none of them bodes well for the integrity of the New York Times.
He can't debate. Loeffler just talked in circles. She looked and sounded like a robot up there. Any other debater would have eaten her alive. She didn't win no votes tonight.
Georgia is a republican state. Even if she didn’t win any new voters she’s still ahead of the game.

Do you really think Georgia is going to nominate a Jewish kid and Colored man to represent them in the Nation’s capital?

Is the world burning? If it isn’t then that answers your question about the probability of these candidates. White people only do the right thing when confronted with a bad option and a worst option. And they always stick their deplorables with the worst option so when things turn around they can pick apart the failures of the aforementioned worst option.
 
He should run for a smaller office first, not US Senator.

Think of US Senators — does Warnock have any legislative experience? Is that guy the best the state have to offer as it’s representative to the world? That guy?
Tommy Tuberville doesnt have any legislative experience either.....but I guess Bamas figured he was the best they had to offer.
mufucka couldnt even name the 3 branches of govt.
 
They're doing the same shit in GA, 45 going to get his cult follows shot, they trying them old KKK intimidation tactics gut people aren't folding.
If voting against one of the worlds worst human beings only netted you a 12k vote surplus does one of his minions lead to a higher, lower or negative vote tally?

Is Tommy a non white? Then he doesn’t have to possess actual intellect or talent because his white skin is his entrance card.

Learn from the Iowa election race. A pig slaughtering farmer not knowing the price of grain was re elected. Iowa farmers do not care about the price of grain. They say they do, but they don’t. If people show you who they are, believe them.
 
For the most of that group, there is no hope. At the same time, there's the same hope that Biden won the State by on a 12K vote margin and the national vote by 7 mil. If it was played down traditional red/blue lines, neither of those 2 things I just mentioned would have happened. The truth of this election was that a significant number of republican voters went red down ballot but voted Biden at the top. And that math holds in a general election. This GA run off is something else....and if traditional rationale ends up winning, then what youre saying here is absolute. What I'm speaking to is the notion that because this specific state run off has been drawn out to a one time thing....and all the moving parts in it that are at play.....there is still some room to evoke that thing that played out in the general.....Trump fatigue among true old school conservatives. This election aint about Trump except to the extent he makes it about him and they let him. And the way he's playing that right now, it only helps us. But if there is a faction of old school GA conservatives that do have Trump fatigue....thats what Warnock has to tap into to win. And he has a narrative to do so if he can frame it right. That was my point, in short.
I don't know what the exit polls say, because I don't trust them. That said, I also don't think as many GOPers crossed over to biden as some believe due to tRump fatigue. I believe it was independents that swung sufficiently to Biden for his national and GA victories. Perhaps the DNC can do it again in GA, and get one or both of these dems elected, but it is such a long shot. GA has changed a lot over the last few decades, and there is a first time for everything, but its still GA.

The press set Stacy Abrams up for the ole okie doke. They gave her credit for mobilization and then when those run off races are called they are going to ask where was the Stacy Abrams organizations when Georgia needed them. This is to set up that cloud over her as she tries to run for governor again. Obviously a person like Amy McGrath can fail as many times as possible but no one is going to tell her she’s a loser but lord forgive Stacy for racking up a bunch of loses.
 
Anti-Vaccine Doctor Has Been Invited to Testify Before Senate Committee
The selection of Dr. Jane M. Orient as federal health officials are trying to promote a vaccine to end the coronavirus pandemic prompted harsh criticism from Senator Chuck Schumer, Democrat of New York.

WASHINGTON — A doctor who is skeptical of coronavirus vaccines and promotes the anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine as a Covid-19 treatment will be the lead witness at a Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee hearing on Tuesday, prompting criticism from Democrats who say Republicans should not give a platform to someone who spreads conspiracy theories.

Dr. Jane M. Orient is the executive director of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, a group that opposes government involvement in medicine and views federal vaccine mandates as a violation of human rights.

“A public health threat is the rationale for the policy on mandatory vaccines. But how much of a threat is required to justify forcing people to accept government-imposed risks?” Dr. Orient wrote in a statement to the Senate last year, calling vaccine mandates “a serious intrusion into individual liberty, autonomy and parental decisions.”

In a phone interview on Sunday, Dr. Orient, an internist who received her medical degree from Columbia University in New York, resisted being cast as an “anti-vaxxer” and said she would not get a coronavirus vaccine because she had an autoimmune condition. She added that she opposed the government’s push for all Americans to be vaccinated against the coronavirus, noting that both vaccine candidates — one made by the Pfizer and the other by Modernause a new scientific method.



“It seems to me reckless to be pushing people to take risks when you don’t know what the risks are,” Dr. Orient said, adding: “People’s rights should be respected. Where is ‘my body, my choice’ when it comes to this?”

Her selection as a witness as federal health officials are trying to promote a vaccine as a way to end a pandemic that has killed more than 281,000 Americans prompted harsh criticism from Senator Chuck Schumer, Democrat of New York and the minority leader.


“At such a crucial time, giving a platform to conspiracy theorists to spread myths and falsehoods about Covid vaccines is downright dangerous and one of the last things Senate Republicans should be doing right now,” Mr. Schumer said in a statement on Sunday.

But at least two Republican House members — Representative Andy Biggs of Arizona and Representative Jeff Duncan of South Carolina — appeared to embrace Dr. Orient’s warnings against government mandates. They took to Twitter to express those views.

“Americans should have the freedom to take the COVID vaccine,” Mr. Duncan wrote on Saturday. “Americans should also have the freedom to decline the vaccine.”


A spokesman for the chairman of the Senate committee, Senator Ron Johnson, Republican of Wisconsin, did not immediately return an email message asking why Dr. Orient had been invited to testify.

Federal health officials are trying to enlist lawmakers in a campaign to encourage Americans to accept the new vaccines. An F.D.A. advisory committee will meet on Thursday to review data on the safety and efficacy of Pfizer’s vaccine candidate. If the agency grants the vaccine emergency authorization, rollout could begin shortly after.

In a private briefing with a bipartisan group of senators last month, Moncef Slaoui, the chief scientific adviser to Operation Warp Speed, the Trump administration’s vaccine development program, said that “it would help if senators got vaccinated,” according to a person familiar with the call.
Dr. Orient, who lives in Tucson, Ariz., said on Sunday that she would appear remotely during the hearing on early at-home treatment for Covid-19. She said in the interview that doctors were too often sending patients home with instructions to simply rest and ride out the disease.

The association has also sued the government in an effort to force it to release hydroxychloroquine from the national stockpile for use as a Covid-19 treatment, although the scientific evidence indicates that the drug is ineffective against the coronavirus. The case is currently before a federal appeals court.

Dr. Orient said she intended to use her testimony to call for government guidelines informing doctors about hydroxychloroquine as a potential treatment for Covid-19 patients, even though the Food and Drug Administration revoked an emergency authorization allowing the drug to be distributed from the national stockpile and has warned that it could harm those patients.

Dr. Orient’s organization has urged people to be cautious about the vaccine in blog posts with titles like “Should We Line Up for a 90% Effective Vaccine?” In her interview, she raised particular concerns about vaccinations for young people “because the effect on fertility has not been determined.” There is no evidence that any of the leading coronavirus vaccines affect fertility.



Dr. Orient also took aim at Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, the government’s top infectious disease specialist, asking, “Why is he dictating care for 340 million Americans?”

 




SNL Cold Open Takes On Michigan Election Hearing
By Charu Sinha@charulatasinha


Heeding the calls of fans across the country, Cecily Strong donned an extremely messy bun as Melissa Carone, Trump’s disastrous star witness at Michigan’s election-fraud hearing, in last night’s Saturday Night Live cold open. After swearing to “Gob” to tell the whole truth, Strong as Carone attests to seeing “hundreds if not thousands of dead people vote” (which is not far off from something the real Carone said). “I have been threatened, my kids have been threatened, my kids have threatened me, and I’ve threatened them right back,” Strong’s Carone says with the familiar cadence of another beloved Strong character. Meanwhile, Kate McKinnon reprised her role as Rudy Giuliani, bringing out three more witnesses, including Heidi Gardner as a woman who eats ballots and Chloe Fineman as Nicole Kidman’s character from The Undoing. Fineman’s Kidman clarifies that her confounding accent is actually from “the Upper East Side of Australia,” offering viewers more clarity than was offered from that series’s actual season finale.
