Georgia

Okay, to every damn one of you who donated to send those kids to Georgia ….

Look the dickens at what you did!

Glen says you’re all heroes and you should strut a little today.  I say you should strut a lot. You sent 15 kids and they got voters to go vote.

It’s early and there’s no graphics yet but I am calling these two races BLUE.

You ruined Mitch McConnell’s life.

 

A Little Good News

Written by Nick Carraway
“We spend much of our time complaining these days and for good reason. I thought I would pass along some good news and positive vibes as a proverbial lime wedge for the tequila shot that has become our lives these days.

My district sent out a questionnaire during the break for the vaccine roll out. Of course, Texas did not see it necessary to vaccinate every teacher in the first round, but those of us with underlying health conditions could go to the front of the line. My diabetes got me a spot yesterday for the Moderna vaccine.
.
They used the local football station for a housing site. I reserved a time for after work and got there about 20 minutes early. They checked a QR code to make sure we were supposed to be there and took our temperature. By the time my appointment came up I had already been vaccinated without having to leave my car. I will get the second round at the beginning of February.
.
I know the roll out of the vaccine has not been ideal and there haven’t been nearly enough of them to go around, but I was very impressed with what the governing agency here was able to come up with. It was well organized and relatively painless. Government can work when you give them the resources to do it. I can only hope we can see more of this in a little more than two weeks.”

Georgia

Glen says they are working their tails off and turning out voters one vote at a time.

These are two of our guys taking low propensity voters to the polls.  I overlooked Glen’s message from last night —

Twenty four hours from now I’m sure we will have found considerably more than the 11780 votes Trump is looking for. Democrats are on fire tonight. Everyone pray, do a dance, take a shot, or whatever brings the good juju.
Tomorrow I’ll safely be driving around Savannah soaking up the smell of a new Georgia and what I’m hoping will be a happy kickoff for 2021!

Everybody is required to stay tonight so they drive home safely tomorrow.

 

New Twist

January 05, 2021 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

This morning there was a hearing in federal court in Georgia where Trump’s lawyers closed the courtroom to the public and the media.  Once again, Trump’s lawyers were asking the judge to overturn the results of the Georgia election.

Is anybody keeping score on the number of thumbs down Trump is getting?

Trump lost.  Again.

 

But there was a new twist.

Additionally, while the initial lawsuit relied on an egregious misrepresentations of fact and law, Trump’s attorneys apparently decided to throw yet another malicious and legally spurious assertion into the mix, arguing that Vice President-elect Kamala Harris is ineligible to hold the office. The birther theory, popularized by law professor John Eastman, has been universally panned by legal experts.

It’s becoming obviously apparent that the Republican Party believes no black people were actually born in America.

Thanks to Elizabeth for the heads up.

Scotland Warns Trump to Stay Away. Oh, and There’s Other News, too.

January 05, 2021 By: El Jefe Category: 2020 Election, Coronavirus

There is speculation that Trump will flee to Scotland to play golf at his Turnberry resort to avoid attending the inauguration on January 20th.  Nicola Sturgeon, the First Minister and head of the Scottish government, caught wind of the potential plans, and warned Trump yesterday that her country is not allowing travel by foreigners for non-essential purposes, including him.  The airport at nearby Prestwick has been alerted to expect arrival of a US military 757 and to not allow his entry into the country.  Like the rest of the UK, Scotland is in lockdown to reduce the surge caused by the new strain of the Coronavirus.  In a briefing today, Sturgeon said this about Trump:

“We are not allowing people to come into Scotland now without an essential purpose, which would apply to him, just as it applies to everybody else. Coming to play golf is not what I would consider an essential purpose.”

AND, it gets better – today, Iran requested another Interpol international arrest warrant for Trump and 47 other US officials identified for their roles in the drone strike a year ago that killed General Qasem Soleimani, Iran’s highest ranking military officer.  The government is vowing to bring Trump and others to justice for this killing.

Just another Tuesday in Trumpland.
