Georgia Republicans beg Trump to release them from his prison of lies

Maybe this is why Bill Barr is resigning.

the president retweeted the outlandish claim about Kemp and Raffensperger made by Lin Wood, a high-profile attorney who filed dubious, unsuccessful lawsuits challenging the results of the election.

"President Trump @realDonaldTrump is a genuinely good man," Wood wrote. "He does not really like to fire people. I bet he dislikes putting people in jail, especially 'Republicans.'

"He gave @BrianKempGA & @GaSecofState every chance to get it right. They refused. They will soon be going to jail."

Wonder when Barr realized the cray cray train had no end.

I was just about to say that Trump seems to be working overtime to make the Republicans have no faith in their own voting system. Keep up the good work Trump. Will be looking forward to seeing Schumer as majority leader in the Senate.

This is happening ... I cant see how it wont. Trump will swing his diseased mushroom dick as a last "mess with me mess with the base" message. He is going to tank the Senate. Cause fuck them.

Trump support means very little. I don't know why you guys are still so obsessed with him. I know it mattered 0% on whether I voted Rep or Dem for the GA Senate runoff.

It's not his lack of support for the candidate so much. It's his saying that your system isn't even worth voting in it's so corrupt.

That's because you vote Republican for the tax benefits. Others vote Republican based on tribal identity issues. These are the folks Trump could sway to not vote. I don't think he'll convince any Reps to vote Dem. Overall, I still rate the Dem odds of winning even one seat in Georgia as slim to none with a bias toward none.

Trump support means very little? Republicans are beholden to his cult like base. The majority of the former Republican party is the Trump party for as long as he wants them at this point. Probably at least 2/3 of the former Republican party is now the Trump party.

I guess I must be living in some crazy bubble. Because of all the people I know voted Republican in the last election and this upcoming GA Senate runoff all voted Republican in spite of Trump.

I find it fascinating that people would vote for any Republicans that enabled Trump for four years, especially two senators who support overthrowing democracy in Georgia. And vote for a party that cares more about broad corporate immunity vs money for small business and people on food bank lines or funding local governments including first responders and essential services. But yes, those are the Republicans we have left.

If Trump told his cult to stay home in Georgia, solid chance it swings the election.

So why didn't they vote for Trump. They obviously like to have crooks represent them in the Senate.

Exactly. Vote for the people who advocate for ending voting.

They all voted for Trump. I'm the only one who didn't. They didn't want to vote for Biden because they feared national lockdown under Biden. They also thought the economy would do better under Trump vs Biden and didn't want the potential of higher taxes. None voted for Trump because they liked him.

Is this really true? People seem to really really like him...

 

[brycejones]

No one sane voted for Trump because they liked him.

FTFY

He has people who think he's chosen by god and you think it was "fiscal conservatives" that voted for him? In my anecdotal experience, fiscal conservatives I know stopped supporting republicans because it was obvious trump was a psychotic moron and they wanted no party to it. I give them credit for that at least, even though fiscal conservative policies tend to be trash anyways.

They don't care about fiscal conservatism, an oxymoron if there ever was one, they want that sweet, sweet regressive taxation that taxes workers to the benefit of the investor class.

Saw on TV last night that the Trump clamoring for donations to enable his fight to overturn his defeat have netted $170,000,000. The reporter then said "read the fine print." Went on to say that the money largely has gone to the RNC and to fund Trump's further political ambitions, not efforts to overturn Trump's defeat.

Read today in the New York Times that the money he's been collecting to fight for overturning the election is going toward paying off Trump's personally guaranteed 1/2 billion dollar debt and that there's enough accumulated now to pay off more than 1/2 of that.

Did you? They? Vote Republican I mean? Or did they vote to end American democracy?

It mattered little to you. You clearly can speak in complete sentences and appear to have the ability to have rational thought. You realize that open q-anon believers are winning, right? That means, a not insignificant portion of Trump voters believe that democrats are part of a satanic child trafficking cult. Part of this belief is that ONLY Trump can save America. If Trump pulls the rug out from underneath the R's in this runnoff, it will matter. Even if he causes 5% of the people that normally vote R to stay home in protest, the dems could win.

The R's probably don't need to worry though, Kemp and company are working hard to suppress the Democratic vote. You know, the old fashioned way through long lines, fewer machines per capita, random purging of voter registrations. The Republicans are masters of cheating the democratic process. They know if they don't they won't win. Lyndsey said it himself, if everyone gets a vote, a Republican president will never win again.

Good, pretty sure that's illegal.

I voted Republican in the GA Senate runoff. Divided government is the best government. Giving one party total control is how you end democracy. Need to keep the check and balance so one party can't do too much damage.

Have you noticed what they have been up to?

It's a feature for him, not a problem. A non-functioning govt. is just the ticket for ponyo...unless the repubs. win all three branches of govt, then, again, not a problem.
