Democrats have likely taken the Senate

[TC Talks]

Let's hope that all those "fake" Democrats in Georgia show up again in January. Trump sure has pissed off most everyone who didn't vote for him in Georgia. Just think of all that time Republicans wasted pretending to be cheated, while the Democrats have been campaigning.

With the Democratic challengers for Georgia’s two Senate seats claiming a slight lead in the most recent polls, voting rights activist Stacey Abrams, who has been credited with crucial organizing that led to President-elect Joe Biden’s overall win in Georgia, said Sunday that absentee ballot requests show the Democratic Party is in a strong position to win the January runoff elections that will determine control of the Senate.

One party is campaigning the other party is falling apart. I hope Trump keeps up his little fantasy. It will be nice to have an all democratic legislature and executive branch.

Analysis: New poll is a warning sign for the GOP in Georgia

By Aaron Blake NY Times

Ever since Trump launched his baseless voter fraud campaign, Republican strategists have fretted about it potentially hurting GOP turnout in the all-important Georgia Senate runoffs. If Republicans have no confidence that their votes will be counted accurately, the logic goes, might they just stay home? Adding to their concern is that two lawyers pushing Trump’s claims, L. Lin Wood and Sidney Powell, have urged Republicans to withhold their votes if Georgia’s GOP leaders don’t act to overturn the state’s results for Trump.

This has been a largely theoretical exercise. But a new poll suggests there might indeed be some peril in this whole exercise for Republicans.

I don't place value in polls anymore. Mail the cards, hit the TV airwaves, and get people lit dropping in Georgia.

Yet the Republican senator candidates are being buried by Trump's larger fraud message. Meanwhile the Democratic candidates are digging in engaging voters.

If the Republicans screw over US citizens with their infighting on the next round of stimulus, it will probably be the last act they will complete before becoming the minority in the Senate.

Stimulus checks have emerged as a key issue in the runoffs for two Senate seats in Georgia that will determine which party controls the upper chamber.

The two Democratic candidates, the Rev. Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff, are both arguing that Congress needs to include direct payments to Americans in coronavirus relief legislation. Ossoff in particular is emphasizing the topic while drawing attention to comments that his opponent, Sen. David Perdue (R-Ga.), has made in the past that are critical of direct payments.

Stimulus payments have been popular with the public, and Democrats are hoping that highlighting the issue could help them with voter turnout.

"This might be the kind of appeal that might motivate voters to go to the polls," said Charles Bullock, a political science professor at the University of Georgia.

The Jan. 5 Georgia Senate runoffs are being closely watched because of their implications for President-elect Joe Biden's ability to pass items on his agenda. Democrats need to win both races to have control of the Senate. Early voting started on Monday.

Polls show that both races - between Ossoff and Perdue in one, and Warnock and Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R) in the other - are close. Biden narrowly carried the state in the 2020 presidential election.

The runoff campaigns are taking place as Democrats and Republicans are engaging in efforts to pass another coronavirus relief package before the end of the year. A bipartisan proposal at the center of discussions does not include direct payments to Americans, but some lawmakers are pushing for the inclusion of a second round of checks along the lines of the one-time payments of up to $1,200 per adult and $500 per child that Congress authorized in the CARES Act in March.

Both Ossoff and Warnock in recent days have been calling on Congress to pass a coronavirus relief package this year that includes direct payments to Americans.

"David and Kelly should be in Washington delivering $1,200 checks for every single Georgian, and $500 for every child in this state, because people are hurting and we need help now," Ossoff said at a rally on Tuesday that also featured Biden.

"We're fed up with @KLoeffler's failure. I will vote for direct stimulus checks to Georgians," Warnock tweeted on Saturday.

Biden during Tuesday's event brought up direct payments when seeking to contrast the Democratic and Republican candidates in Georgia on coronavirus relief, arguing that a relief package passed by Congress "should deliver direct cash payments to people right away."

"Your two Republican senators are not supporting that kind of package," Biden added. "Both Jon and Raphael do."

Thank you Pat Toomey, if he keeps this bullshit up we will see the Democrats numbers just get better and better in Georgia.

In Washington, with time running out for a stimulus deal, the two sides remained divided over a proposal by Senator Patrick J. Toomey, Republican of Pennsylvania, to ensure the termination of a series of pandemic relief programs created this year by the Fed and to potentially curtail the central bank’s ability to fight financial crises in the future.

“We’re right within reach,” Speaker Nancy Pelosi privately told House Democrats in a party conference call on Saturday. But she said Mr. Toomey’s late-stage demands to rein in the Fed were slowing the process.

By Saturday evening, Senator Richard J. Durbin of Illinois, the second-ranking Democrat, said the dispute had cost negotiators another day in their efforts to cement a deal.

The emerging deal would send direct payments of $600 to many Americans and provide enhanced federal jobless payments of $300 per week until early spring. It would also provide hundreds of billions of dollars to prop up small businesses, schools and other institutions struggling amid the pandemic.

But Democrats said that Mr. Toomey’s proposal, which has been embraced by Republicans, amounted to an attempt to undercut President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr. and his administration’s ability to continue supporting the country’s economic recovery.

As drafted, the proposal would prevent the Fed and the Treasury Department from re-establishing programs that have helped to keep credit flowing to municipal borrowers, medium-sized businesses and corporations during the pandemic-related recession. It would also bar the creation of similar programs going forward.

Lawmakers and aides in both parties acknowledged that the Fed provision presented the most significant hurdle to a final agreement, even though negotiators were still haggling over a number of outstanding technical details, including how to provide for food assistance and the scope of unemployment benefits.

With government funding set to lapse Sunday and both chambers hoping to merge the stimulus package with a catchall measure to cover all federal spending for the remainder of the fiscal year, time was dwindling to find a resolution.

Without action by Congress, two programs designed to expand and enhance unemployment benefits are set to expire in the coming days, leaving about 12 million Americans without federal support. A number of other benefits are set to expire at the end of the year.

Not saying both Democrats will win, but I can certainly see Republicans blaming the Dominion voting machines again.

Looks like Trump is "Punishing" the Republicans for not cheating him back into office...

The fight also handed Democrats in two vital Senate races in Georgia a fresh political weapon against their GOP opponents, with Trump undercutting Sens. David Perdue (R-Ga.) and Kelly Loeffler (R-Ga.) as they took a victory lap over securing the $600 checks.

You posted a thing about Dominion. They are about to file a Defamation suit against several conservative media figures and outlets for spreading lies about them. Several outlets were forced to apologize already...
