MSNBC called the AZ Senate race for Mark Kelly.

Now Imma soak. Someone take the duty roster.

 

@Vee, you are truly the Steve Kornacki of this thread!! 😁

Look everybody, it's Mitch McConnell moving away from a stimulus package he never planned to pass - again. And unless Pelosi agrees to his likely package (no checks, bare bones unemployment, liability exemptions if employees get sick, cash to GOP donors), the Beltway will dogpile on her - again. 

 

I hope she tells them to eat [!@#$%^&*] and die.

 

 

They really need to pull through a double victory in those GA runoff senate races in January to reign in McConnell. Not sure they can pull it off, but attention and funding needs to be moved towards that ASAP.

 

 

 

  

Yes it did and I died!

You forgot the part where he is working with JFK Jr., who faked his death.

 

Thank you, I did.

But I thought he wanted GA to "STOP THE COUNT."  Now, he wants the "missing" military ballots counted?  I'm so confused.

If/When things are called for Joe (COME ON, PA/GA!), I shudder to think what the loons are gonna do. And the worst part is, they are being EGGED ON by some of our own government loons!

 

Well, I certainly got a taste last night.  Mama Khan and I had the grandmother of all knockdown dragouts.  I won't give the blow-by-blow -- frankly, I'm still raw emotionally this morning -- but suffice it to say, Imma have to learn how to coexist in the same household with a mother I no longer recognize.

I understand the networks want to be very cautious, but we all know Trump isn't going to catch up to Biden in Pennsylvania, the math just isn't there. They need to call it.  The longer they let this drag out, the longer they let Trump spew lies and distort the truth.

Loeffler in particular is such a disgusting human being that it's unfortunate how much of a pass she will get for being a Barbie. I see that Josh Kraushaar and other Beltway figures are trying to ramp up stuff about Warnock opposing Israel's occupation of the West Bank, so you can tell where this is going. 

 

If Democrats could just get people to see that the economic recovery will never happen without an end to gridlock, that might help in the races, but so many seem to fall for these press releases claiming that the economy is getting better and better. It needs to be shown, somehow, that Loeffler and Perdue are no better than Trump, even if he was more outwardly repulsive.

 

At least there will be more momentum and money than the 2008 Senate runoff. That one was seen as meaningless when it really wasn't.

With this election (hopefully) over soon, a huge scale effort needs to be put into those GA Senate races by the DNC, which will likely be runoff elections come January. They cannot afford to take their eyes off that ball. It’s the only way they can block McConnell and prevent another killing in the 2022 midterm elections.

 

Agree.

 

Julie Moroney's account of being inside where they counted the ballots is nothing short of harrowing -- and proves my point about how baseless Trump's claims of ballot fraud truly are.  But, good luck telling THAT to my mother, who SAYS she doesn't really care for Trump (or for Biden), but who believes him and his campaign team when they say the election is being stolen from them.

Morning Joe, of all shows, now saying it turns out "the polls weren't totally wrong" and this truly is a repudiation of Trumpism. Yeah, @Khan what's up

 

Hey.  When I'm wrong, I'm wrong.

 

I just wish I could share my joy right now with my mom.

 

Meanwhile.  I've waited Four. Damn. Years. to post this video.  Y'all owe it to yourselves to check it out:

 

 

 

Backlash is building online over the networks not calling it - everyone knows. Even Kornacki on MSNBC is all but begging them to let him go home.
