I do remember The Ragin Cajun telling everyone to chill the fuck out the first few days after Election Day

He said it would be called by 10:00 Eastern time on election day.  He knows fuck all.

Well, in complete fairness, Fox News called Arizona shortly after that.  And Arizona was a pretty big fucking tip-off.

Yep. Georgia is not blue yet. Trump is just that fucking unpopular.

It's Georgia. It's close but it isn't a blue state.

Votes for Loeffler and Perdue are extreme.  They are both extremists who happily take the nation to the brink of collapse for some real or perceived personal gain.   They are extreme Trumpists in every way, and extreme Trumpists are much more damaging than ideologically pure extremists.  There are still some Rs that one could vote for without being considered a rube or an extremist, but none are in these runoffs.

Most Georgia voters said that deciding which party controls the Senate was the “single most important factor” in casting their ballot, according to A.P. voter surveys.

 

This was my point - They are not voting for these people, they are voting for control of the senate.

still convinced there was some sort of funny business.  no way trump picked up 12mm votes since 2016.  no fucking way.

This feels like it’s going to go just like texas or florida did on election night.

People who want the current GOP to maintain control of the Senate are also extremists.

Which is how you end up with all grifters on the (r) ticket. If people want (r) control, they want a completely ineffective government that passes no laws and does nothing at all except act to enrich individual senators through insider dealing. Extremists.

I suspect funny business as well, but for the same reasons that Trump went 1-71 or whatever the final tally turned out, it's tough to dispute.  I know the dems weren't really looking for fraud, but all those cases went by, and no one the blue side said 'hey wait a minute, there WAS something funny going on?' Just no hard evidence.

Looking at 538's county by county map, it looks like there's virtually no split ticket voting.

I still don't understand after all this time if it's 50-50 with Harris the President of the Senate, and the two I's (King and Sanders) caucusing with the Democrats...what that means for committee chairmanships?  That's all that really matters in the Senate beside Majority Leader.

Kanye and Kim Kardashian are supposedly getting divorced and it's gonna be a genocide I'm sure, so social media is going to be lit up tonight.  

[Guest Lobo]

I think they got divorced so he could run for Georgia senate, no?  Or wait, was that for President?  One thing i know, she's a Peach alright. 

[shakahorn 1,645]

switching over to the basketball game.  If anything significant happens, can someone post an update in the game thread over there?  Thanks in advance.

Power sharing agreements. Probably D committee chairs but Rs can bring legislation to the floor

Exactly.

The Rs policies are losers and their demographics are losers.

So they have tribalism and anti-democratic actions as their survival mechanisms.

I believe that's what happened last time. The Washington Post had an article a while back saying no way Schumer would agree to any kind of power sharing agreement this time around.
