    Btw, the plural of sheep is sheep and whoosh has only two "oh"s in it. How far did you get in school again?

    The Georgia senate race is crucial and I am getting a good feeling. Stacy Abrams has got Georgia democrats working so hard now. Already flipped the state for Biden. Now these reports I am loving.

    Young voters look to play key role in Georgia runoffs, Senate control

    Finding Asian language speakers to go get the vote. Empowering the youth. Go Georgia.

    Presently, he's in the midst of pressing times which will linger for quite some time.
    It will be interesting to observe how he does in the coming weeks, with two critical senate runoffs before he takes charge.

    You did not know there are some languages (please no names here) that do not know a plural? So, when you cannot sleep, you have to count sheep one-by-one, after an hour you are still with just a sheep only...

    Appears that he's surrounding himself with the same deep establishment/corporate/military/traditional circles, as to extend the empire domestically as well as foreign.
    Nothing ever changes does it? And nothing is different. Even when such dreamy and deluded projections having most believing that a "new way" is on the horizon.
    Perhaps.....or, perhaps not.


    Among the greatest change is that he's not a self-absorbed narcissist illusional sociopath who wasn't fit for duty to begin with - business or politics [or life].
    For what it's worth - Old Joe is a seasoned old pro with connections and most certainly understands how the highly corrupted system works.
    The team truly needs to hunker down and concentrate on domestic things predominantly, as the U.S. is in deep shit presently and requires hefty and real repair - not the usual false coating.

    Repeating falsehoods doesn't make them true. But feel free to continue living in your bubble of lies. It makes no difference to us.

    "It’s been a month since the presidential election and an overwhelming majority of Republicans in Congress continue to refuse to utter the words President-elect Joe Biden.

    According to a Washington Post survey of 249 Republicans in the House and Senate, nearly 90 percent “will simply not say who won the election” — with two falsely claiming Trump won.

    So far only 25 congressional Republicans are brave enough to risk Trump’s ire and acknowledge Biden’s win. As the Post points out, Hillary Clinton conceded the morning after the 2016 election was called, and Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer issued a statement congratulating then-President-elect Trump."

    The GOP is fucked, they've gone all in and become the party of the corrupt and moronic Trump and fringe Q-idiots and death cultists.

    Tied to a millstone that lost the popular vote by increasingly resoundingly large margins.

    They used to at least have an economic theory of government -- albeit an incorrect one -- and now they don't even have that, constantly blowing out the deficit every chance they get. Can't even be rightfully called 'pro life' anymore. They're just soulless and amoral power-grabbers.

    I like the last line, the Repubs tout personal responsibility when Trump himself has never taken responsibility for anything in his life.

    Neil J. YoungSun, December 6, 2020, 7:35 PM GMT+8


    As president, Donald Trump has had a bizarre habit of comparing himself to Abraham Lincoln. But Ronald Reagan is probably the much better example for understanding Trump's rise to power and how he has governed. That's the implicit message of Showtime's four-part series, The Reagans, concluding Sunday night. Though neither Trump's name nor image appear in any of the four hour-long episodes, the series sets up clear parallels between the two men and their presidencies, a theme acknowledged by most of the major coverage of the show.


    On the surface, Reagan's sunny disposition and boundless optimism couldn't be a starker contrast from Trump's vision of "American carnage." But as The Reagans, directed by Matt Tyrnauer, suggests, Reagan's career path from Hollywood celebrity to Commander in Chief — his campaign slogan "Let's make America great again," his emphasis on law and order politics, his slashing of government regulations, his cozying up to the religious right, and his appeals to white racists through dog whistles about "states' rights" and "welfare queens" — all feels frighteningly familiar in the Trump era, even if Trump has never limited himself to just coded language.


    More than those connections between Reagan and Trump, however, the biggest takeaway from the Showtime documentary is how Reagan's drastic transformation of the GOP from a restrained party devoted to limited — but effective — government into a rabid political movement turned against the notion of government itself laid the foundation for Trump's direct assault on American democracy and his complete dereliction of duty as president. As Tyrnauer said to me on a recent call from his home in Los Angeles, "This is a story about our current political situation."


    In Reagan, the cult of rugged individualism overtook the Republican Party and remade American politics. Now, 40 years later amid a global pandemic, that unbridled individualism has shown its deadly dimensions in Trump and the Republicans' lack of response to COVID-19. Their dismissal of a coordinated government response in favor of encouraging Americans to decide what they think best, including whether or not to wear masks, has spelled catastrophe. And it's evident in the millions of Americans who — in refusing to wear masks, practice social distance, and momentarily deny their self-gratification — have selfishly exploited the language of "individual responsibility" as license for their own recklessness.


    Elected during a severe economic slump and with American morale slipping, Reagan, the son of two staunch Democrats and a former Roosevelt Democrat himself, rode to power on Americans' growing distrust of government, but he twisted that sentiment to particularly extreme ends. The Reagans shows the new president declaring in his first inaugural address in 1981, "In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem."


    That became the reigning ethos of the Reagan era and of the GOP ever since. In the series' most chilling moment, First Lady Nancy Reagan propounds the couple's anti-government philosophy as she icily says to a reporter: "Somebody will say, 'we have a problem,' and the immediate response is, 'well, can't government do something about that,' instead of, 'can't I do something about that?'"


    That's basically been the attitude of Trump and the Republicans when it comes to the coronavirus. Despite clear scientific consensus and repeated recommendations from the CDC, Trump and most Republican governors have failed to issue lockdown orders or mask mandates. Even with more than 275,000 dead Americans and numbers likely to surge over the holiday season, some Republicans are now abandoning the language of personal responsibility for something more defiant. "My body, my choice," tweeted the incoming Georgia Congresswoman and QAnon adherent, Marjorie Taylor Greene, without any trace of irony last month.


    In South Dakota, where coronavirus is ravaging the state, with recent test positivity rates at over 40 percent and death counts spiking, the state's Republican governor and Trump sycophant Kristi Noem still refuses to order a mask mandate. After President-elect Joe Biden, responding to those escalating numbers in South Dakota and elsewhere, tweeted this week that "help is on the way," Noem clapped back on Twitter with her own message: a gif of Ronald Reagan and his famous quote, "I'm from the government, and I'm here to help" — what he described in 1986 as "the nine most terrifying words in the English language."


    Invoking Reagan has long been a go-to move for GOP lawmakers, but Noem's use of his words to mock Biden while her citizens die reflects Trump's caustic influence on the party, not the Gipper's. With Republican politicians falling in line on Trump's every disastrous and deranged position, from coronavirus to fantastical election conspiracies, Reagan's cult of individual responsibility has given way to a personality cult centered on one individual.


    No matter that Trump has never taken responsibility for anything.

    The Reagans shows the roots of America's individualism problem

    I’m leading the effort in Congress to put a stop to people illegally casting ballots using the names of the deceased.
    My bill, the You Must Be Alive to Vote Act, guarantees this type of voter fraud is never successful.

    Brian Babin, the far right conspiratorial Congressman of Texas and Trump associate who has yet to prove the claim of what he is addressing. But it sure works on stooges like you. Show me a trumper, I'll show you a liar. You're becoming more delusional by the day.
