THAT Could be before January 20,
Or?
Later….
One would assume McConnell is STILL the majority leader until the two Georgia Senate winners are actually US Senators…
The elections are called, and their opponents have conceded. The next task for Senators-elect Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff: getting sworn into office.
The Democrats defeated Republican incumbents Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue in Georgia’s twin U.S. Senate runoffs Jan. 5, effectively flipping the Senate blue for President-elect Joe Biden. Vice President-elect Kamala Harris will have the tie-breaking vote if senators vote along party lines.
Warnock and Ossoff will be able to take their seats in the chamber once Georgia election officials certify the results of the runoffs. State officials have a deadline of Jan. 22….
In the continuing education of those here ,who somehow believe that the mere exit of The Animal from the scene will cause the sedition laden Republican Party to magically shed its
Extremist label?
Consider the case of Governor Kristi Noem of South Dakota, a real Right Wing nutjob who has consistently rejected efforts to reduce the Covid spread in her home state .In her latest flight of kookiness the aforementioned goofball now claims that Georgia’s newly elected Senators are both “Communists.”
Harking back to the days of the John Birch Society this well known MAGA Red Hat Wearing Bootlicker doesnt simply make an implication.
She says it right out.They are “Communists.”
Like her hero The Animal ,Noem is a two bit Lying POS .
This started long before Trump. The soon to be dead doper Rush Limbaugh planted these seeds decades ago and they are now full grown psychotic oaks.
El Rushbo will be El Worm Food soon, but the hate he unleashed and seems to be dead set on continuing to unleash (praising the violent marauders that beat a policeman to death with a fire extinguisher as “patriots”) till his last hopefully labored breath continues in the GOP.
Noem certainly is and she has blood on her hands for her total lack of response to the virus in her state.
She’s been running around the country running for President. I assume the Communist change is an upgrade from the Socialist line in the last election.
Trying to divorce Trump from all of this will be impossible for anyone not cravenly delusional.
Delusional, like expecting Joe Biden to invite one of the Trump “fluffers” into his Cabinet so he can appear bipartisan. And almost to a man and woman the entire Republican Party has been symbolically sucking Donald Trump’s dick. When they haven’t been praising Hitler.
The only Republican I want Biden to give a job to is Pat Toomey for obvious reasons.
Last night I learned that one of the Republicans storming the Capitol was killed while she carried the “Don’t Tread On Me” flag. You can’t make this shit up.
Finally, we can expect a trickle of Republicans, like Murkowski, to come out and say Trump should resign this week and we can then expect gushing praise for those who do. Fuck Lisa Murkowski, she had, like Susan Collins, the opportunity to impeach the asshole. They didn’t. No profiles in courage. They knew, like the Congressional Republicans knew we had a safe and legal election, that Trump is unfit for office and broke the law. They chose, like Josh Hawley, to lie to protect their political fortunes. Fuck them.
Good idea Keith! Give Pat Toomey or Susan Collins a cabinet post. Will that shut CG up about this?
I think Toomey should be our Ambassador to China. Susan Collins is just too “troubled and concerned” to get any job with the Biden Administration.
How about asking Manchin to be the Amb to the North Pole?
Is that supposed to be funny?
I think it falls a little flat.
It’s cold…
The Sen from WV needs to decide on his politics…
Sure we deal wity the pandemic….
But the Economy needs help also…
No one expected Manshin to vote with Biden all of the time.
But maybe he’d wait for 10 minutes?
No one expected Manchin to vote with Biden all of the time. Did you?
What Manchin said was that he thought vaccine distribution should be the number 1 priority right now.You May disagree with that but it’s a thoroughly defensible position.
He added that he was not drawing a red line against the $2000 Checks.So it’s very possible he will support them.
James has stated ,on several occasions ,that he regards the “ economy” and eradicating the virus as two seperate issues.
I will restate my view…
Until this virus is brought under control,the economy will remain sluggish these proposed checks notwithstanding.In essence the issues are intertwined.
You want a real economic recovery? The virus must be brought under control.
Manchin ‘later’ restated his position I believe….
Yesterday Joe Biden had the roll out of his economic team…
He put the Economy right up there with the virus….
As I have said here….
BOTH will within his first efforts….
And I will stand by MY view that Biden cannot and will NOT just ‘wait’ for the virus to subside …
Biden made sure to push a second Stimulus check and dumping MORE money into the economy…
To wait ‘for’ the virus is to gamble that an economy will be left to save….
Added to these two ARE the everyday issues, problems and policy changes the Bide admin WILL be dealing with on a daily basis…
…
NY Times…
President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr. on Friday promised an accelerated response to a daunting and intensifying array of challenges as the economy showed new signs of weakness, the coronavirus pandemic killed more Americans than ever, and Congress weighed impeaching President Trump a second time.
As Washington remained consumed with the fallout from the storming of the Capitol on Wednesday and Democrats stepped up their efforts to hold Mr. Trump accountable for his role in inciting the attack, Mr. Biden signaled that he intended to keep his focus on jobs and the pandemic, declining to weigh in on whether the House should impeach Mr. Trump….
More…
Yeah, kick Manchin out of the Senate! You guys will love what West Virginia will replace him with.
