#FunFact: I was a movie theater manager in the 90's. One of my colleagues at a different location accidentally spliced the teaser trailer for "Alien 3" in front of "Hook" (the family-friendly Robin Williams/Peter Pan flick).
This was the trailer where the voiceover booms "THE SUSPENSE IS BACK. THE FEAR IS BACK. BUT MOST OF ALL...THE BITCH IS BACK."
Nope. Not anymore. Don Jr. said it clearly this morning TO THE VERY MOB THAT DID THIS: The GOP’s ass belongs to Trump now.
If you’re a decent American who has called yourself a Republican until now, it’s time to leave the party. There’s no saving it now.
I'm not saying it's time to become a Democrat. I'm saying it's time for you to form a new party. Call it the Lincoln Party or whatever. Does that mean wandering in the political desert a few cycles? Perhaps, but you'll be back at some point, without the stench of Trumpism on you.
Annnnd there you have it.
I would've preferred Sally Yates and have no idea how assertive Garland will be, but this solves a problem for Biden: He promised to place a black woman on the Supreme Court, but snubbing Garland for SCOTUS after what happened in 2016 would be...awkward.
This way he neatly resolves the bad taste in everyone's mouth re. Garland getting shit on by McConnell without breaking his promise re. SCOTUS.
The GA results also presumably mean Biden will be able to fill Garland's current judicial seat, so there's no risk there.
Also: There's not even the slightest conflict of interest re. prosecuting Trump/etc because Trump had nothing to do with McConnell fucking over Garland.
Note: I raised $2,000 for her because she still would’ve been better than John Carter, but holy crap.
Speaking of which, considering she managed to lose her own race by 3x the margin @mjhegar did in 2018, perhaps @donnaimamTX isn’t the best person to talk about what a winning campaign strategy looks like.
Apropos of nothing, but there's 10% more #COVID19 cases per capita in the counties won by Trump in Georgia and 25% more COVID deaths per capita. #JustSaying
Swing Counties (won by less than 6%):
Pop: 168,297
Cases: 11,250 (66.9/1K)
Deaths: 314 (18.7/10K)
Here's the 20 Georgia counties with the highest #COVID19 mortality rate as of yesterday. Trump received 66% more votes than Biden collectively in these 20 counties (84,685 vs. 50,913).
