Trump lost Georgia all by himself and let's not kid ourselves, a win is a win but there's no guarantee that will happen again. Alabama had high hopes when Doug Jones won but that was the stars aligning just right and Black women calling on all their powers. That he didn't stand a chance against the likes of Tuberville who has zero understanding of government much less how it works is a sad commentary on how many Trumpers are really out there and well placed. I'm not ever going to feel safe until the Democrats have majorities in both houses and the presidency. Until then, I'm going to be happy for this moment and out reminding everybody if we don't ALL turn out to vote for the next many years, it could all go away again in the blink of a voter suppressed election in all the reds.

Elaine Stefanik makes Liz Cheney look like Sister Theresa. If she is the new face of GOP feminism, it is very ugly indeed.

I can't wait for the day that DT no longer exists in physical form. I wonder what the GOP will consist of then?

I recall a comment I made to a friend in ‘16: They’re lying; we know they’re lying; they know that we know they’re lying; and they lie anyway. 🤔😉😊

I take it from your comment, you might still be holding out hope?

"Going all-in on Donald Trump also assumes that Liz Cheney and Republicans like her don’t have any support of their own, and that voters won’t notice when their jobs come back and their paychecks go up and the bar down the block is once again fully open for business and featuring local rock and roll bands and is filled with happy customers.

Good luck with that."

I'm not sure I'm that confident. If the Dems can't kill the filibuster and pass the For the People Act, trumpzi owned state legislatures will not only gerrymander themselves into permanent power, but will rig elections that allow THEM to elect future presidents. I'm a bit negative this day, and am having a hard time acknowledging that the sun actually did come out and the birds actually are singing.

I wish I were that sanguine about the next 18 months (i.e., until next year’s election). I’m really concerned about more, local, Jan 6s. I’ll be thrilled to be wrong. 🤔😉😊

Tomorrow I get off my latest 30 day FB jail sentence...I was cited for making fun of Trumpsters who show a picture of an animal instead of showing their face while backing POSOTUS.

So, almost 600,000 COVID-19 dead and inciting a riot...DEATH PENALTY for Former? Six months, that's it? What would the World Court do?
