The following US Senators voted AGAINST funding the US military today:

Republicans:
- Mike Braun (IN)
- Tom Cotton (AR)
- Ted Cruz (TX)
- Josh Hawley (MO)
- John Kennedy (LA)
- Mike Lee (UT)
- Rand Paul (KY)
Democrats/Independents
- Corey Booker (NJ)
- Ed Markey (MA)
- Jeff Merkley (OR)
- Bernie Sanders (VT)
- Elizabeth Warren (MA)
- Ron Wyden (OR)
More Republicans voted against funding the military (7) than the number of Democrat Caucus members who did (6).

Undoubtedly in order to carry favor with outgoing President Trump. They voted against overriding his veto. And, in effect, to defund the US military.
And so, to hear them describe themselves, the most adamantly pro-Constitution, pro-Conservative, pro-God and country, pro-Flag waving members of the GOP Senate voted against funding our military. Along with a slightly smaller group of openly liberal Senators. Including Bernie.
Ted Cruz a couple of weeks ago offered to help Trump in his legal quest to throw out 20.5 million ballots. 140 or so GOP House members plan on objecting to the ELECTORAL COLLEGE, along with Hawley and perhaps a few others.
What exactly do these guys have to do to help the gullible laggards finally realize that they’re not the things they say they are. Not conservative. Not Constitutionalists. Not more committed to the country than to their own careers?
And these are the number of active duty military and civilians who live in the states of the Senators who voted against overturning Trump's veto of funding the military:

TX - 221k (Cruz)
KY - 56k (Paul)
MO - 44k (Hawley)
LA - 38k (Kennedy)
NJ -35k (Booker)
UT - 32k (Lee)
IN - 30k (Braun)
MA - 24k (Warren, Markey)
AR - 18k (Cotton)
OR - 14k (Merkley, Wyden)
VT - 4k (Sanders)

Some dishonest Trump surrogates and supporters try to make it seem as if the 2020 elections were some sort of anomaly. That Trump was doing awesomely and that something must have gone suspiciously wrong in order for him to lose.

And so I prepared this little recap ...
Trump took office in January, 2017.

In November, 2017, the GOP lost the New Jersey Governorship

In 2018, the GOP lost the Governorships in Illinois, Kansas, Maine, Michigan, Nevada, New Mexico and Wisconsin.
Also in 2018, Trump’s party lost a Senate seat in Arizona and a seat in Nevada.

The GOP that year also failed to flip the Senate seats Democrats held in Montana and West Virginia. Despite Trump personally making repeated trips to Montana to campaign against Jon Tester. Nope!

I won’t ever understand why some people had such a hard time believing that COVID exists or that there are common sense things we can do to keep it from killing more people.

It takes a lot less faith to believe the truth than it takes to believe a lot of their other theories.
1) There’s an airborne pathogen which is both much more deadly than the flu and also more contagious.

2) The virus affects different folks differently. And not always the way we expect. A lot of people have no symptoms at all. It’s killed little kids. Some have lasting issues.
3) You can spread the disease to others, if you have it, just by talking. Even if you FEEL fine. You can get it by just being near people who have it.

4) Wearing masks significantly cuts down the chance that infected people will unknowingly spread it to others.

A lot of members of the @HouseGOP and @SenateGOP think that there is some end to Trump's insatiable appetite for obedience.

There isn't.

You thought all you had to do was not criticize him. Wrong.
You thought all you had to do was not impeach him. Wrong.
You thought all you had to play along as he pretended he won the election. Nope.

You thought all you had to do was stay silent on whether or not you'd help him try to overturn the election. Not good enough!!
Trump behaves like a gangster. Think about what would happen in a criminal gang when a new recruit goes along with a few petty crimes but tries to draw the line at something serious. The leader will respect that, right? Nope! You'd better do it or else!!

Another observation: every Senate race in the last six years that came within five points went the same way that the Presidential race went in that state. This does NOT factor in the wildness of run-off races.
Hassan (D) won New Hampshire by 0.14 points in 2016. Clinton won NH that year.

Toomey (R) won Pennsylvania by 1.43 points in 2016. Trump won PA that year.

Cortez Mastro (D) won Nevada by 2.43 points in 2016. Clinton won NV that year.
Blunt (R) won Missouri by 2.79 points in 2016. Trump won MO that year.

Johnson (R) won Wisconsin by 3.36 points in 2016. Trump won WI that year.

Peters (D) won Michigan by 1.68 points in 2020. Biden won MI in 2020.

A total of 345,672 human lives were lost to abortions performed by Planned Parenthood, America's leading abortion provider, in a 365 day period, in 2018-19. The most it ever reported.

A total of 340,553 human lives were lost to COVID in America over just the last 305 days.
So that means that an average of 947 human lives a day ended as a result of abortions performed by America's leading abortion provider.

And an average of 1,116 human lives a day ended as a result of COVID in America. The place that has become the world's epicenter for the virus.
I am and will always be pro-life. I oppose the ending of human life through abortion. I care about human life at all stages - both before we leave the womb and afterward.

But I don't understand being concerned about human life only when it's in one location or the other.

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)
