Are you angry about GOP Senator Josh Hawley saying that he is going to try to overturn the Presidential Election? Do you live in Georgia?

The best revenge is voting on January 5th to make sure that there are fewer Republicans in the Senate on January 6th.

Sit down, Josh!

No matter what, the election is not going to be overturned.

But this clown show is going to make for a very long day and make America look like a third world Banana Republic.

On the morning of January 5th, there will be 49 Republicans and 48 Democrats in the US Senate.

Depending on the outcome of Georgia, there will either be:

- 52 Republicans and 48 Democrats
(If neither Ossoff or Warnock won)

- 51 Republicans and 49 Democrats
(If either Ossoff or Warnock win)

- 50 Democrats and 50 Republicans
(If both Ossoff and Warnock win)

It’s going to be the same group of people no matter what happens except that only two of the four candidates (Loeffler, Ossoff, Perdue, Warnock) will join the other 98 who we know will be in the Senate.

The difference is who gets the gavel. And Committee chairmanships.

Hawley is indicating by his actions that he is openly defying his own leader, McConnell. He is probably looking for ways to get attention and influence.

Make it harder for him and the other attention clowns to get that influence. Take away the majority. Make them sit down.

No matter what this guy or others do, the result of the Electoral College vote will not change. It’s a Federal Law that gives Senators and House members an opportunity to object. But it has to be a majority of both chambers. And the Constitution itself does not give Congress

any rights to overturn the EC. But it will make for a longer day and make our country look ridiculous in front of the world courtesy of the Banana Republicans.

But make the day shorter. Let there be 50 Republicans and 50 Democrats. Sanity might get restored a little quicker.

Also, if this move by Hawley is perceived to contribute to the loss of one or both seats in Georgia for the GOP, as the youngster openly defies his leadership, you don’t think the blowback he’ll receive will serve as an additional disincentive for trying to overthrow democracy?
