The left was not energized by Biden at all. It was all anti-Trump because of the way he and they treated people.

Had he not fought the election results like he did, Georgia would’ve gone red last night.

No one was energized by Warnock or Ossoff. It was all anti-election conspiracies.

We now have a government where the house, senate, and presidency are controlled by the same party - something that is rarely ever a good idea - all because of Trump.

We've got to get the Conservative party away from what it's become.
You couldn't be more wrong. Both Republicans were establisment. Trump held his nose when one of them was appointed. Both demacrats are antiestablishment. Basically the winners tapped into some of Trumps thunder. As a Christian I prefer Warnock in the Senate rather than the pulpit and I'm pretty sure the same political organization that slected and groomed AOC brought us Ossoff. If you want to know more about him you need to research his puppet masters.

No worries though, Gods allowing His story, "the big picture" to unfold. See it explained in the "other thread". :wink: :lol:

It's being reported that 113,000 people voted in Georgia yesterday who didn’t vote in November. Of those, 40% were black and 30% were under 30. That's roughly 34,000 new votes that likely went blue. Ossoff is only leading by 17,025. The disgust in Trump and his governmental supporters over the last two months directly led to those new voters.

No, they were told if Trump got another 4 years planned parenthood might not get as much of your tax money. :cry:

For all of the things you could hang your hat on with the Trump administration, you continue to bring up Planned Parenthood. An organization that has seen it's federal funding INCREASE under the Trump administration.

Now he is giving a farewell greatest hit speech while leading a BS chant. Classy, as always.

That's on the supreme court. He tried. Needed 4 more years.

"Many conservative states have sought to deprive Planned Parenthood of government money, but the organization often wins in court – the U.S. Supreme Court last Tuesday turned away South Carolina’s bid to cut off public funding to the organization because of a provision in the federal Medicaid statute.

The state took the action after Gov. Henry McMaster, a Republican, issued executive orders declaring that any abortion provider would be unqualified to provide family planning services and cutting off state funding to them.

The U.S. Supreme Court in 2018 rejected similar appeals by Louisiana and Kansas seeking to terminate Planned Parenthood’s Medicaid funding. At that time, three conservative justices — Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch — said the court should have heard the states’ appeals."

Completely defunding Planned Parenthood is what went through to the Supreme Court. That has nothing to do with funding INCREASING. Again, there is actually quite a bit Trump supporters can hang their hat on. This just isn't it.

Planned parenthood is not a friend to minority lives. Medicaid clinics should not recive tax dollars. :cry:

I'm not sure what about my comment suggested such a thing. I do not support planned parenthood and believe its funding should be decreased.

Somehow you focus on such odd things. The president did a lot of good. He also did a lot of bad. I consider allowing an increase to planned parenthood funding under his watch as something he did poorly. Basically all of his spending habits while in office were atrocious. But Republicans tend to only care about spending when not in power. So we will get a lot of that rhetoric the next 4 years.

I look for a lot of changes coming for Republicans and Democrats. For one thing Its hard to call out the Bidens and Clintons for accepting foreign money and look past a Senate majority leader whos wife has family business ties to the Chinese communist government? To be honest I think it might be to late for us. :shock:

Not sure if anyone is watching McConnell's speech, but dang. He's spot on. "We must not escalate and imitate what we repudiate." He's making the case pretty clear for logic and reason. Wonder who will listen.

Yeah. I know that kind of rational thinking isn't popular but in what world is it ok to do something wrong just because someone else does that same thing?

I mean... good. It's kind of a low bar in not advocating for a coup, but still. Guess good is good no matter how easy it should be.
He is in a tough position and the fact he had to put out a statement is sad but if I am going sit here and be critical, I must also applaud when the right thing is done.

But it shouldn't have ever gotten to this point where he felt the need to put out a statement like this but that is the position his boss put him in.

Oh no doubt. I'm happy to celebrate my child when he wakes up, breathes air, eats food and uses the bathroom. Kind of basic, why am I following up on this type action...but yes, celebrated.

I mean, I guess when your logic starts from the standpoint that the other side eats babies...I guess they're at least consistent.

This is just the beginning. It will get increasingly violent in the city. I made a trip to the office yesterday to grab some things I didn't need yesterday but would for next week because all things point to this spiraling way out of control.

I hope I'm wrong but it is better to be safe than sorry. I'm glad, more than ever, that i can work from home on most days.

I wanna recycle the talking points from the Left about the consequences and manifestations of the unheard and frustrated masses. How this is completely to be accepted and expected when The Common Man is oppressed and not heard. Which is what we heard to justify the Antifa and BLM nonsense the last several years
But I’m a consistent person and not a fan of this

But you decided to bring it up anyways.

Also, most on here did not support violent acts by those groups so it is even more pointless to point it out.
