    4. We mustn’t lose sight of the given facts. They’ll do anything to undermine the will of the American People. Period !!!! And it’s not over just because the country now has a dignified and respectful competent BIDEN Presidency !!! They WILL SHOW and WE MUST DO THE SAME !!! That’s just the simple truth of the matter !!! Their Senate Majority is the cancer that blighted the past four years of our nation with stagnant bad government that barely functions !!! Biden must have a working government with him. America is in badly corrupted and infected shape because of trump and his enablers…

    5. @SGT Gardner They actually had the vaccine in January before Trump even got involved, but it has to go through a massive amount of testing before it even gets to human trials

I believe you are right but it’s a matter of them realizing they need to move on , and get over it for their own shallow battered repressed and desperate hopes to still thrive if only in their black hearts 😉 )

    1. @Orvie Bob Trump lost over 30 court cases, do you know why? Because he has no evidence of anything. How many of his bullshit conspiracies are you going to fall for? Even you have to admit that it’s a little ridiculous to believe that everything is someone else’s fault.

  9. I’m so happy the cult members threatened Kemp that if he certified the election for Biden they will sit the senate vote out 😁😂

    1. @June’s Outside Contact Hint: Democrats also gerrymander and suppress voters. Democrats only tried passing election security bills as an FU to Trump; they had no intentions of passing it since multiple Senate democrats refused to vote on it.

      Reply

    3. @America First what is disingenuous? Trump’s own mouth uttered ‘if it passed you’d never see a republican elected again’

      The 570-page bill would require states to use paper ballots and establish cybersecurity standards. It would fund grants for states to upgrade voting equipment, train local election officials in cybersecurity, and conduct post-election audits. It also would make registration easier, restore voting rights to ex-felons and designate Election Day a federal holiday
      McConnell killed the bill.

    5. @America First #1) Youre a Troll. #2) Youre not even American. 3#) In all my years on this earth (As an American citizen), of all the elections (state local and national) that have been held in my lifetime… Only once have I ever felt like there may have been a problem with an election: That was in florida in 2000. Literally 20 years ago. Please note that since the supreme court weakened the laws on Voter Suppression there have been many shenanigans being perpetrated by republican candidates and their intrests. But THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH OUR ELECTION SYSTEM. Donald trump started attacking the system in 2016 when he said that if he didnt win the system was rigged. He won. So any questions about the voting process disappeared. He started this new campaign against the voting process when he saw that states were going to send ballots to all their citizens. Not a peep about voter fraud until it looked like he was gonna lose. With all the Democrats that lost in 2020…. can you find EVEN ONE that claimed voter fraud? Absolutely not. So take that buhshyt youre talking back across the pond. The trump experiment is over. Period.

    4. I have so much confidence in Stacey Abrams that I worry very little about losing it to those 2 criminals. Her and her gang of patriots won Georgia once this years. Republicans are sorry they robbed Stacey of her election.

      Reply

    5. They probably don’t but the republicans have gerrymandered the hell out of voting in red states to help keep them in. Georgia will have to rise up and vote in huge numbers to prevent them from stealing the election.

    3. A wonderful illegal with moral values:
      A Norcross man is facing a charge of first-degree vehicular homicide after being accused of causing a crash that left a 12-year-old girl dead in DeKalb County, authorities said.

      Eric Cirildo Rodriguez, 42, is also being charged with hit-and-run resulting in serious injury or death and acquiring a license plate for the purpose of concealing identification of a motor vehicle, according to DeKalb jail records. Amiah Shontae’ Kenney Jackson, a seventh grader at Pinckneyville Middle School, was killed in the wreck. Please save my state, too many illegals here and taking all jobs! 😡😡 vote for Purdue please! 🎚🎚🎚

    2. Perdue and Loeffler will both win their senate seats.
      Moderates and Independents didn’t want a change of direction, just a change of leadership at the Presidential level.
      Don’t bank everything on this, you’ll be disappointed. Georgia is still very much a deep red state. Democrats had to work insanely hard to narrowly flip Georgia to Biden.
      I actually thought Kentucky might flip to Amy McGrath. Nope, didn’t happen. These red states stay red for a reason.

    4. @Damir Lomota thanks to Trump, fair elections will never happen in America again. People have chosen what they believe based on their political affiliations, not the system. Democracy is dead.

  18. Just imagine how the lives of every American could be improved if both parties spent as much money working for the people as they spend on trying to rule the people.

    2. @Damir Lomota Yes, he managed to undo much of the progress made by previous administrations and by Obama in particular. We all know how butt hurt he was after Obama and Seth Meyers humiliated him and Trump’s presidency has all been about that moment.

    3. @Damir Lomota the list is long and impressive , BUT liberals are interested in only communism and perversions . trump does not go to war they criticize. of course if he did start a war they would call him a war monger . etc etc .
