Hopefully neither of them need a recount or anything.

To dream the impossible dream:

Trump and his supporters follow through with their Patriot Party threat and split from the GOP.

If only, they are the true RINO's too!

Yeah, I'm really glad the deep state thought to rig it outside the recount margin this time.

Just poor planning in Nov, and to mention letting Susan Collins of the hook. Too much time at the baby sacrifice cabals and not enough time at the office.

This will go on their performance reviews for sure.

Hard to imagine anybody is a better mood than Stephen Breyer this morning. Has to be positively transcendent.

Also did you see all the mail in ballots that didn't have creases in them and the envelopes were in pristine shape? They totally never went through a mail sorting machine. I totally saw it with my own eyes on a Parler video. Clearly fraud.

(per Trump on the now infamous phone call)
"We magnified many times. Many, many times! We could see exactly what was going on!"

Reconciliation is away to get around the Senate filibuster. The catch is you can only use it on three types bills and only once per type of bill in a fiscal year.

The three types of bills are spending, revenue, and debt ceiling.

Expect a massive, probably bigger than HEROS, stimulus bill to be passed via reconciliation by the end of Jan. Then they have two more spending bills they can push through with reconciliation for the next two fiscal years.


They can also use the reconciliation process as leverage to get the GOP to come to the negotiating table. The Dems can essentially rewrite the tax code and pass it through reconciliation process and the GOP cannot stop them.

 

[K1052]

Also if the Dems get three reconciliation bills then the need to clown car everything they want into the first one and risk conflict internally is substantially reduced. It also increases the leverage Ds have to sway Rs to their side on other things they want but can't accomplish though the process

Reconciliation itself certainly can't do everything but it is a very powerful tool.

Sounds like a line from a cheap CSI knockoff.

They found like 4.4 million ballots after 7pm wtf is going on?!?!?!?!?

It's pretty much verbatim what he said after HIS attorneys explained that they didn't see ballots being scanned multiple times.

I expect a whole lot of covid-related items to get passed through reconciliation. They can't really use it for a new VRA or an HR1-like anti-corruption package, but those had still better be on the agenda and they had better *hammer* the GOP for being anti-voting right and pro-corruption if they filibuster them to death.

 

[brycejones]

Trump totally fucked the GOP. They lost the turnout battle despite having a significant advantage in vote totals after the November election.

Too late, beotches. You adhered your lips to his ass for four years, you go down with the USS Trump as it circles the bowl.

Of course, the American public has the collective attention span of a gnat, something the GOP is very tuned in to.

 

[pete6032]

These two senate elections were basically a referendum on Trump. I don't know why the republicans thought this would go any differently after Trump lost Georgia in November.

Silly fucks should have listened to Trump and passed the $2,000 stimulus that Democrats graciously offered.

Blood is on Turtle's hands.

Anyhow, congrats to dems. Let's see something actually significant transpire in the next 2 years. Like I said in another post - nothing will change though... as told by Biden himself

To think that Perdue, who won by almost 90,000 votes in November could not get to 50% and now will lose his seat by around 30,000 when this is settled later in the week. Amazing turn. The other skank, well she really did not have a chance.

What happens now with their seats? They are vacant today, right? They will seated later, but McConnell gets a week or two of still being in charge, well until he is not. Am I correct in this thinking?

I am intensely curious if the Dems can get 10 GOP votes for marijuana decrim if they put it on the Senate floor. I think they can.

Mitch will crawl into his shell and try to appear "reasonable" so that his party isn't ignored.


I would love to see Collins change to independent in the middle of the theatrics we will see today. She needs to save face after her "he learned his lesson" comments are being thrown back at her.
