https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/08/politics/perdue-concedes-georgia-senate-race-ossoff/index.html

Perdue has conceded, but with no couth.

He did not mention his opponent's name in his concession, while making a point of observing "I won the general election," because he finished first - but with under 50%.

Nor did he have the good grace or standard manners to call his opponent.

Good riddance, Mr. Poor Sport Perdue.

Mitch won’t be holding a gavel during trump’s second impeachment, starting Monday. By the time it gets to the Senate, Chuck will decide what evidence to hear in the matter.

Are there 16 or 17 genuine Americans and human beings in the Republican Senate caucus?

Romney
Murkowski

Who else will stand against insurrection, terror, murder, and mayhem rather than support a criminal thug and conman?

Seems pretty unlikely. Anybody who votes with them will be primaried from the right wing and they all fear that and would rather keep their jobs than handle this as per their beliefs.

Susan Collins is no doubt sure that President Trump " learned his lesson this time."

Pat Toomey may join them, since he has already declared he is retiring at the end of this term. But 15 more (assuming Romney and Lisa "I want him gone!" Murkowski stick to their guns) seems a bit of a stretch.

He built some of the wall....Keep building the wall!  Seal the borders, open borders is a failed policy, ask Brexit Britain.
Quote
Yes, ask Brexit in a year. Go ahead. Will you be honest about the answer?!
He stood up to Nth Korea and China. Jesus, Bambu! You keep uttering this complete bullshit. He did NOT stand up to North Korea! They are more, not less, capable of nuclear missile strikes than they were when he took office! And China's economy is growing faster than ours, while our trade deficits are growing.
He brought peace to the Middle East. He did no such thing. A few countries that had no peace agreements now have them, it is true. And good on him for doing it. But PEACE?! What fucking planet are you living on?! The Palestinians are no more at peace with Israel than they were and Israel is continuing to tear down the Palestinians' homes. Missiles are still being fired into Israel. PEACE? Fat fucking chance.
If Covid hadn't come along he probably would've been reelected. Yes. Dick Nixon was reelected, too. His getting reelected would have been about geography and the electoral college, not about his ability to handle the office. And the Electoral College should still go away.


Bombs. Flex-handcuffs for hostage taking. Dead cop.

Incited to insurrection by Donald "I'll be with you" Trump, who went home to watch it on TV and to make calls to Senators to lobby for their vote.

Britain will be fine...now, in a year, 2 years, 5 years...it's taken back control of itself from the EU.
US joining the AU...American Union, US governed from Peru?   You wouldn't like it, I believe.

After WW2 Israel adopted the policy "Look after yourself first in this world, because nobody else will".

Trump TOLD NK man that he'd basically turn him, and his homeland into ash if he fired missiles at the US, US territories, or US allies.
In my mind that is 'standing up'.

He stood up to China, put tariffs on imports from China.

He stood up to the UN, refused to keep funding their climate change fund nonsense, refused to keep shovelling billions of US taxpayer dollars into it.

Before WW2, there was no Israel. Not until 1948 and that right after their founding.

And if nobody else had taken care of Israel, there would be no Israel now. See also: US Foreign Aid, among other things.

Trump told "NK man" lots of things, but since "NK man" had no plans to fire missiles at us, what is it that you think Trump's words accomplished?

It's like snapping your fingers to keep the elephants away from you.

Defense Intelligence Agency
On August 8, 2017, the Washington Post reported recent analysis completed the previous month by the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency which concluded that North Korea had successfully produced a miniaturized nuclear warhead that can fit in missiles and could have up to 60 nuclear warheads in its inventory.[157]

By 2019 the DIA estimated that North Korea had accrued a stockpile of 65 weapons' worth of fissile material and that the country was producing as much as twelve weapons' worth of fissile material annually. U.S. intelligence also assessed that North Korea had built around 30 fissile material cores for use in nuclear weapons, including four-to-six two-stage thermonuclear weapons.

More a gathering point for a march and a break-in for an attempted revolution and/or hostage taking, according to participants.

Kid, are you with Red on team traitor or are you like Bambi starting to see the light?

A future attack is being planned by this bunch for January 17th. The insurrection is ongoing. It needs to be met with insurmountable force.

Round the fuckers up and stick em in the tombs till a new justice department is hired and is ready to sort them out.

Extremists intensify calls for violence ahead of Inauguration Day

Quote
"Trump or war. Today. That simple."

"If you don't know how to shoot: You need to learn. NOW."

"we will storm the government buildings, kill cops, kill security guards, kill federal employees and agents, and demand a recount."

Nope, not like BLM at all. Far worse.

"Trump WILL be sworn in for a second term on January 20th!!," said a commenter on thedonald.win, a pro-Trump online forum, on Thursday, the day after the siege. "We must not let the communists win. Even if we have to burn DC to the ground. Tomorrow we take back DC and take back our country!!"
