it's not true that loeffler 'campaigned with a klansman.'
She took a picture with a guy she didn't know was a kkk guy.
Politicians take pix with thousands of people.
Bad on Ossoff for lying.

Yes, vote for Loeffler. She ain't no liar. She ain't no insider trader ... MSM are them liars. She is a honest Christian woman and cute... Vote for her. Ossoff is all all BLM ... we ain't havin' any of that runnin' our country.
The sad party is that every R will continue to argue that tax cuts pay for themselves.
Idiots.
NYT:
"Well before the coronavirus upended the economy, Mr. Trump had put the country on track for a return to trillion-dollar deficits, a terrible policy when unemployment was near record low levels. His administration promised that the 2017 tax cut would pay for itself; it never came close. He enabled huge spending increases. Then came Covid-19."

How long were they young children?
They are some old young kids.
Sally is all for the special anti-COVID fetus cocktail. A loser and hypocrite.

No. It is a fact backed up by both Warnock and Ossoff. The guy is a klansman.
But but but he avoided the covid conga line

Okay, that's disingenuous. Trollminator said she hadn't *campaigned* with the guy--who indeed is or was a Klansman--and in fact she did NOT "campaign" with him.
Let's leave the lying to the GOPers--they've got the franchise.
Apologies: I misread the previous posts. It was agip who said she hadn't campaigned with the guy.
My bad.

Didn't Reagan "prove" deficits did not matter? That's what Cheney told Paul O'Neil before O'Neil was fired for opposing W's 2003 tax cut.
And Arthur Laffer received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2019. So that must still be GOP's official ideology.
Predictit is now 50/50 on both GA races. That site skews trumpist/insane, so that's good news for the Ds.
Plus the early voting in GA is better for the Dems than it was for the general election. And the Dems won that one.
I'll let myself believe Mitch will be fired next week. This nation without Mitch in command will be so much better. That guy is a villain and will be remembered as such. Him and Newt - the two guys who did more than anyone else to make this country so polarized.

But yes, tell us how the Rs are bettter for the economy. Do tell us.

This is an interesting point that I have thought about quite a bit myself. North Dakota (and some other states) saw huge increases this fall in the number of cases, followed by huge increases in the number of deaths. But for the past few weeks ND has seen a big decline in cases (and deaths, to an extent). What might be the cause? The introduction of a mask mandate? A change in people's behavior? Fewer people getting tested?
I'm not advocating for any particular viewpoint; just think it's worth discussing.
ND's test positivity numbers (# positive / # new tests), were, by a wide margin the highest in the country (close to 80% at one point) so we can discount widespread testing for the increase. At present, they're still at about 50% so they don't appear to be doing much asymptomatic testing and can't be doing contact tracing with those kinds of numbers.
I think the only plausible reasons for the decline is a change in behavior, whether by mandate or widespread personal choice or some level of (regional?) herd immunity. The rational for the former is that North Dakota is a pretty sparsely populated state so even a minimal effort to socially distance could have a large effect. The case for herd immunity is that 15% of the state population has had a documented positive test and the state apparently wasn't doing much asymptomatic testing, thus the infection rate is certainly higher than the documented case rate and plausibly several times higher.
Thanks for the response. IMO it's probably a combination of natural distancing and a degree of herd immunity
Also, Trump just lost his battle for his Confederate flag wavers ! Military bases will lose the names of Losing Confederate Generals. ( Watch "Free State of Jones" to see and realize what Southern Heritage or the Lost Cause was all about !)

More likely to do with people staying indoors more with winter kicking in. The highs during December are below freezing. And lows are getting into single digits.

Some Trumpers decided to take that out on Pelosi. They left a dead pig's head and some graffiti at the garage door that implies they couldn't find McConnell's pig house to demand $2000 stimulus payments that he is blocking. Somehow it is the person's who passed its fault, and not the person blocking it.
