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.
No,the thanks is for Glen and those kids who made a difference.
1I feel like, I will sleep well on Jan 20th.
As of 9:20 pm PST, Warnock is ahead by 35.8K, so a sigh of relief there. Ossoff is down only 1208 and this one is a real nailbiter. Still 2% of the vote left to count. Do we know if there was any voter suppression? People that were kicked off the rolls? James Carville is optimistic.
But WOW, this is amazing. Great job Glen and the kids!
2Non sequitur in my #2. Should read:
BUT James Carville is optimistic on wins for both Dems.
3It is so exciting, and at 11:30 pm PST, it looks like both of our guys are going to win.
4The various media and predictor-types have called it for Rev. Warnock, and have Jon Ossoff now ahead in the count, and at ~98%+ certain win. Less than 2% of votes outstanding, almost all in heavily Democratic precincts.
This is a BFD!
I checked a couple RWNJ websites, they are squealing like stuck pigs! The whole tone has subtly changed, they’re still hyped up about DC later today [large numbers of them will definitely be raising some hell there], but the Georgia runoffs have them offbalance and whining pitifully [of course Der Führer is shitstirring their filthy pots].

5Hey Mitch McTurdle, FU.
Trump’s twitter feed is full of his rants and retweets of RWNJ conspiracies about found ballots, stopped counts, etc. Dekalb County had to stop counting for a few hours due to technical difficulties, with 19K ballots remaining so they are going to manually scanning them which will obviously take longer.
Now looks hopeful for Jon Ossoff, and Rev Warnock has been declared the winner by several media outlets. I’ll feel better when both races are certified for the Dems.
Warnock is now up by almost 50K. He’ll have to run for re-election again in 2022. Ossoff is up by 12K. This is at 12:23 am PST Wednesday. I’m going to bed now!
6Never forget the Blue Dogs. They can screw up the best laid plans. The main one is Manchin.
7BFD indeed. Thanks to everyone who contributed! Time, money, work – every effort made a difference!
8It’ll be fun to watch Kamala take center stage in the Senate!
9Hurray!
10This is huge. Obviously if this holds then the Democrats control the agenda. Sure, there will always be jockeying for votes on every bill, but at least stuff will get to the floor.
11Well, I’m all for ruining McConnell’s day. This is almost as good as the results for Biden/Harris!!!!
12Every channel on my TV – every legit channel, that is – is calling the Georgia special election for the Democrats. Will keep all my digits crossed that this really is the case. tRump is about to have his hair on fire in 3 . . 2 . . . 1
13Georgia.
GEORGIA?!?!?!?!?! WTH????
Hallelujah!
Ossoff has declared victory even though his race hasn’t been called quite yet. But it looks like GA just elected Biden/Harris yet AGAIN. It looks like they’ll be able to get stuff done after all.
Congrats to every. single. kid. who. knocked. on. every. door.
14Ya’ll did good.
Dear Minority Leader McConnell,
Elections have consequences.
15Now we can celebrate the New Year! Thank you, Ms. Juanita Jean Herownself, Mr. Maxey and Team, and wow, thank you Stacey Abrams for setting the example(s) on how to fight voter suppression.
Congratulations Senators Warnock and Ossoff!
A peek at how Moscow Mitch slept last night: https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RIdWX2zBaV0/X_G9yV1xqAI/AAAAAAAAMMo/JPdEycYZqq4ZvBPwL_UKCNmeCKhmsggGgCLcBGAsYHQ/s800/cartoon01-bennett-010221.jpg
16My fellow Americans!
I believe we can all agree: GOPs should NOT have irked Stacy Abrams…
17even Major Garrett of CBS is giving credit to doorknockers such as your group
18good job ya’ll
Predictions are that Jon Ossoff’s final tally will be +1.1%, +50K votes. The cutoff for a recount is 0.5%, so Perdue is fried dogshit.
Pulling the Rethugs latest triick out of her derriere, Kelly [NYSE] Loeffler says that she will refuse to concede [vote count is well beyond the recount cutoff]. Bring it on b—-!
A very BFBFBFBFBFBFD!!!
Minority Leader McTurdle has a nice ring to it.
19Comrade Donnei may have a meltdown today, health or otherwise.
@Sandridge: This is really rich, considering that Kelly was never elected to her seat in the first damn place.
20Sandridge @18 is it too soon to gloat over the revolt Moscow Mitch is receiving from detesTed Teddie Crooze and the Senate version of the Freedumb Caucus? While we’d never wish anyone dead per se, what’s that non-fatal but very mundane disease that causes incapacitating nose bleeds accompanied by severe gastrointestinal distress? It’s stress related, if anyone can provide the actual name, tia.

The RWNJ MAGAots are going batshit crazy:

” Now that GA has fallen, today (Jan 6th) is literally our last hope. If they successfully remove GEOTUS the American story is over. Dems will remove the filibuster, get rid of the electoral college and gain control forever. There is no second chance.

” *******STICKY THIS NOW********. This explains EVERYTHING. Trump has HARD PROOF in the form of affidavits from the rogue agents who switch votes for Biden in Italy. Obama financed the effort using money from an Iran deal and trump has receipts. This is likely why the 2018 EO report has been delayed. STOP THE STEAL

22Many thanks to the ‘Salon’ kids who worked for this, Stacey Abrams, donors, candidates, and everyone else who pitched in.
BarbinDC @19, Jane & PKM @20,
All of those sonsabitches are going straight to the bottom with the SS Trumptanic.
Icebergs Warnock and Ossoff have ripped gaping holes into the sides of that rusty hulk. The icy water is pouring in, the decks awash, the whining pitiful. Crank up the band, play ‘Losers Forever’ and ‘Hail to the Thief’, as the Trumptanic slips beneath the blue Democratic waves..
Every one of these Rethuglikan bastards are going to a cold watery grave aboard the Trumptanic. Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of mofos.

It is 2 weeks, 0 days, 2 hours, 1 minute, 54 seconds until Wednesday, January 20, 2021 at 12:00:00 noon (Washington DC, District of Columbia time)
23To Juanita, Glen, and the crew on the ground: Thank you.
24Glen and the kids are among the heroes this morning in Georgia. The voters are the other heroes. The messages of hate from repugnanticans led by Trumpf were drowned out as I hope they are in congress by the end of the day.
25Thank you, Susan & Glen, for making it possible for me to provide financial support. Love you both!
26And I’m totally impressed by Stacey Abrams
JJH & Co, please take a well earned victory lap- not just for this election, but for the potential of these students’ activism.
27I wish every one of those kids had a copy of Stacie Abrams book!
28Writing on this Internet Wind–
Thank you Stacy Abrams! Ossof and Warnock! Biden!
Thank you, Blues all including, of course JJ and amigos.
Biden: Get moving. You have two years only…just like
Obama. Taxes on the rich! Stop the filibuster. Legislate
away bribery/lobbying/ dark money.
Poop on:
29Antifa, Rioters, Arsonists, et al.
Go home, burn the black clothes and register and get
going on Democracy at Risk in 2022!
I’d like to thank Brian Kemp for all his voter suppression work in 2018. If he hadn’t cheated Stacey Abrams of the governorship, she would not have been available to organize the Biden/Harris, Ossoff and Warnock victories this year.
And the kids! Well done.
30You and Glen and those great kids and the whole team did GREAT! As my son Mike would say, you are in the history books now!
