Donald Trump Attacks Brad Raffensperger's Brother—He Doesn't Have One
Yet another can Donald Trump be this fucking stupid moment. "President Donald Trump took to Twitter on Tuesday night to criticize Republican officials in Georgia, including Governor Brian Kemp and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger for failing to investigate unsubstantiated claims of voter fraud in the state." "The president also criticized Raffensperger's brother, saying he works for China. However, Raffensperger doesn't have a brother, as many social media users were quick to point out."
"I love the Great State of Georgia, but the people who run it, from the Governor, @BrianKempGA, to the Secretary of State, are a complete disaster and don't have a clue, or worse. Nobody can be this stupid. Just allow us to find the crime, and turn the state Republican," Trump wrote.
"
"Now it turns out that Brad R's brother works for China, and they definitely don't want 'Trump'. So disgusting!" the president added in a second tweet.
Trump is likely referring to Ron Raffensperger, CTO of Chinese technology firm Huawei. The two men are not related."
Apparently there is also some sort of conspiracy theory mixed in with this as well. You can''t make this shit up.

Oh, yeh. Oh, Baby! First assume & assert that a crime occurred, then tell us you can't find it. But it must be so, because reasons. Use your imagination, folks. Believe in Trump.
 
Notice Fox News today? They began running this narrative once again accusing Democrats of defunding the police. Fox has been pushing this same old song again, all day with every show with every host and with every guest. A carbon copy repeat of what republicans pulled during the November elections, and why? Because they think that this will win them the two senate elections and thus keeping the senate in republican control. Obviously republicans feel it was the cop defunding propaganda they used that held the senate in November and gave them gains in the house, so if it worked then why not try that again? No Democrat is planning to defund a single cop or patrolman yet all Fox and republicans know to do to win any election is to try winning by scaring people. Republicans must fool voters into voting for republicans because their candidates can’t do that.... they suck. If you can’t sell a rotten apple you must come up with a lie to sell your rotten apples, like claiming it makes great fertilizer or something. This time the republicans have indeed found the perfect fertilizer for the US senate, two a-holes full of shit.

Ossoff gets the best out of his time on Fox.

Jon Ossoff turns tables on Fox News reporter | Salon.com

"And since we're live on Fox," the candidate continued, "let me take this opportunity to address directly the Fox audience. We have two United States senators in Georgia who have blatantly used their offices to enrich themselves. This is beyond partisanship."

Up there with Mayor Pete in the white bread dudes with half a brain easily getting the better of Fox News pantheon.
 
Looking at the lines for the last day of early voting in Smyrna, GA. Nope, no voter suppression for those urbanites who vote predominantly Democratic going on.
 
David Perdue is in quarantine after potentially been exposed to someone who tested positive. He will probably be off the campaign trail until after the election. Early turnout has been positive for Democrats but it all depends on what happens with the election day turnout and whether Republicans can get the numbers and margins they will need to overcome the early vote.

What more dumbfuckery can come out of the mouth of the screaming tangerine?
Just 18 days left to go folks

For those that don't want to read the whole thing. There are these nuggets.

"Trump’s ideas are veering dangerously close to the thoughts of his rightwing fringe allies, attorneys Sidney Powell and Lin Wood. Both lawyers have advised Republicans to boycott voting in the runoff unless the presidential race is overturned.

Wood has also recently suggested that Vice President Mike Pence is guilty of treason and will be executed (by firing squad), that the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein is actually alive, and that Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts is part of a murderous pedophile cult."

Hilarious!
wood is a bigger nutjob than powell if that's even possible.

i don't watch either of these networks so i'm not sure if they actually are running these adds, damn...that's some stupid
 
It's been said before, but it's worth repeating: it will be hilarious and poetic if Trump's parting 'gift' to the Republicans is the loss of the Senate and thus the loss of nearly all their power. The GOP chained its fate to a corrupt, hateful businessman for the sake of short-term power, and it might cost the party everything.
 
I worry about the democrats. If they lose this one (or two), their focus will be on 2022. Winning the senate in 2022. And then, 2024. And 2026, 2028, 2030, 2032, and so on and so on. Democrats need better candidates, candidates that can actually win an election. To look at two of the worse candidates ever, Perdue and Loeffler, one can only ask WHY ARE THE POLLS SO CLOSE? The bar isn't that high here, folks, yet the race is this close?

Starting with the idea that 70+ millions of Repubs think Trump was worth reelecting, it seems logical to me that they'd all vote for a rabies infested rotting road kill skunk if that's the only candidate they could come up with seeing as if Trump is a fairly close facsimile thereof.

'Better candidates' for existing Trump supporters means something very different than 'better candidates' for existing Democrats. They're oil and water, you can't pull votes from them with a 'better Democratic candidate'.

Despite the recent shift in voting, Georgia is still a highly conservative state... and in the Trump era, that means there are lots of people who would probably vote for a dung-flinging chimpanzee rather than a Democrat.

I suspect Georgia will change, but it'll take years. It may only reliably change its voting habits once state legislatures turn blue and undo voter suppression efforts.
 
Kelly Loeffler didn’t vote on whether to override the veto of the defense appropriations bill, and when asked about it, she refuses to answer whether she would have voted to uphold or override.

Loeffler Admits to Fox Anchor She Won’t Give Straight Answer

“I won't belabor it but that's not a ‘yes’ or a ‘no’ whether you would sustain the veto or not,” Baier sighed at the end.

Profile in Courage. A stunning display of “leadership” from someone facing a new election in two days. 🙄

It's amazing how can anyone seriously support someone who simply refuses to tell you how’d they vote on an issue, even as that issue is up for a vote? This wasn’t some hypothetical “gotcha” question. It was a real vote in the real Congress! It’s literally the job she claims to want to do!
 
Story this morning mentions the (D)s 'pulling away, but then says something about a 2 point lead.. I don't consider less than 5 points any kind of a difference.
 
Watching Fox News last night, they were interviewing a couple of Political analysts in GA and both gave the Dems around a 150,000 to 200,000 lead from early voting. Dem counties were around 4-6% lower in voting compared to the November elections while the Republican counties were lower in the double digits. The Fox News anchors cut them off pretty quickly after that.
