“If Trump is still going after [Georgia Gov. Brian] Kemp (R-GA) for not doing his bidding, why would McConnell be spared Trump’s wrath?” asked Blake. “And if he really wants to press the issue, Trump can give McConnell major headaches in Georgia’s decisive Senate races. There, party leaders are concerned about GOP turnout dropping thanks to Trump’s voter fraud claims — and for apparently good reason. McConnell’s recognition of Biden’s win could be read as an attempt to move beyond this phase and focus more intently on Georgia.”
Blake noted that Trump isn’t exactly the team player that people want to believe. Already the Republican Party is furious that he’s hoovering up fundraising dollars from Republican donors for his failed litigation efforts instead of giving it to Georgia Republicans.

“The money that Republicans are gathering, that President Trump is raising — Republicans on the Hill, they’re pissed off because they are taking that money and they are saying, ‘Oh, you have to help us win these elections in Georgia to win the Senate majority.’ The Trump team is taking that money and doing things for themselves with it,” said MSNBC’s Kassie Hunt.
So, McConnell is in an impossible position, Blake explained. He has to appease Trump because if he doesn’t, Trump will turn his voters off of the 2020 runoff in Georgia, and McConnell will lose his power.
“But if Trump truly believes in his cause — rather than if this is, say, just an exercise aimed at fundraising and claiming he never actually lost — how can he let this one lie? He can’t,” Blake closed. “Now is when we find out who is truly running this party from this point forward because its two top leaders’ positions are completely irreconcilable.
Fam, imagine if that were Stacy Abrams in power... them "very fine people" would have her house in flames without a doubt as GA itself would be flames at the moment. As my grandmama would say, "the Lord works in mysterious ways"Even in the most dictatorial countries, this almost unheard of

Which makes the press insistence on documenting their thoughts puzzling.These folks minds are broken.
There is only one reality. There are no alternative facts.These cacs are in a different reality![]()
Putin about to burn Trump
The reason why several prominent Russians can't travel freely to the US is because they were sanctioned for human rights abuses. We can seize assets and restrict travel. This has been expanded beyond Russia now, though. I don't know what the EU version includes, but if its the same they can do the same and restrict travel and seize assets. Russia has been trying to get it revoked since it was implemented, it is part of the reason they courted Trump. This is what the Trump Tower meeting was about that they lied about. They said it was about adoptions, but it was about the Magnitsky Act. This was covered pretty heavily in 2016>
Because they understand the difference between federal and state charges after the kidnap a gov stunt.Man i fear for Letitia James safety! How is it these MAGA crazies haven't tried to come after her?
I found this response interesting.
The GOP would be strong af if it ditched white supremacists. But we all know it won't.
Because the money is in stoking dwight mann's fear of Black people gaining power and treating him the same that he has treated us.
He can always go live in Bumfuck County, North Carolina.
