The two things that dominate US politics at the moment are the refusal of the incumbent, Donald Trump, to acknowledge that he was beaten in the the general election two weeks ago and what is going to happen in the Georgia in January when the future control of the Senate will be at stake.

If trump decides to campaign for the 2 republicans that might raise the red side, but if he has lost will be care? Are the trump republicans going to turn out for 2 senators like they do for him?
This is how the last Republican president to loose an election after one term reacted:

It's one of the main reasons he left Parliament in 2017.
The recent election was a battle of differential turnout - which Biden won. The surprise was the Trump turnout.
Can he repeat this?
....and it's very funny!

Recalling what has just happened in Florida In fact that probably sinks both Dems, so the only logical bet is two GOP senators.

When the Marxists took control of Cuba they did bump off a lot of people. I mean is it in dispute? Similar to the Cheka to embed the Leninist/Marxist takeover of Russia, is mass slaughter of opponents always needed to embed left wing revolutions? 😕

PS. I don’t include French Revolution on list because that wasn’t leftist ideology. It was the Freemasons who took over France.

Scotland's qualification for Euro 2021 will massively help Sturgeon I think.
Indira Gandhi was a Socialist!

The Scots footie supporters' attitude, over the last three decades or so, has been to be pleasantly surprised if their team win any games at all, and - whatever happens - to get meanwhile happily pished with the locals.

At least they are educating a generation on what hearsay is.

Both managed to annoy their bodyguards.
If Scotland beats England, it "will massively help Sturgeon". Likewise if they lose.

Still think they've managed to shred their reputation.
@RealDonaldTrump in NOT a SOCIALIST!

The tournament is going to played all across Europe so if one or two countries get a new wave of it, and the vaccine isn't rolled out fully...
Also there is talk of the tournament being awarded to Russia instead, and relations between this country aren't great with Russia.

On the other hand, if Trump plays golf and bitches on Twitter and doesn't help, then the rest of the GOP is going to feel a lot less love for him.

The question is: have they got time to reverse that for the Georgia run-off?

- a right wing extremist
- uses covert, unlicensed surveillance against children
- illegal entry in every domestic premises in some countries.
- employs an intelligent, probably rare species in unknown factory conditions
- filed no paperwork for a flying vehicle
- filed no paperwork for piloting said vehicle
- exceeds Mach 1 in airspace which is restricted for this.
- file no paperwork for the extensive data collection system he runs - GDPR??
Surely he deserves no special treatment?
The Daily Mail is *expected* to publish stories that innumerately sensationalise the news.
I fear the Dems have missed their chance avoiding senate frustrating them during this presidency, barring midterm surprise (on basis they struggled in red states this time) so though Biden has won, the degree to which he lost has been lost in the euphoria.
Presidential race:
GOP 2,048,759, Dem 1,844,123
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_United_States_presidential_election_in_Georgia
Senate:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_United_States_Senate_election_in_Georgia
General: GOP 1,867,097, Dem 1,757,393
Runoff: GOP 1,228,033, Dem 909,923
That's quite a monster drop between the general and the run-off, especially on the Dem side. Obviously it'll be smaller this time as it controls the Senate, and who knows what the dynamics of Trump not conceding will be. I wonder if the Dems won't have an advantage from mail-in voting; If you've got basically unlimited money and manpower, it has to be pretty great to be able to deploy it over several weeks while the other side has to turn everyone out on the day.
