“ Mitch was correct in fighting the $2,000 on principal”
No he wasn’t. Mitch shovels money to foreign countries. He only calls it “socialism” when people need help at home. And if you think people don’t need help, I am happy for your comfortable situation in these challenging times.

"Trafalgar had Loeffler ahead by 7 and Perdue ahead by 3 or 4 until the stimulus controversy erupted. After the stimulus brouhaha Trafalgar had both trailing." Face it, without President Trump, the GOP is nothing but controlled opposition who purpose is to give the illusion of choice.

This concept eludes public awareness to a scary degree. The closest analogy is false flag operations, the epitome of carefully planned societal manipulation by unseen forces who have no regard for the human condition other than to control it at any cost. With the Republican Party Americans never win, we just get short, temporary respites from ever increasing totalitarianism.

Why? Does Wall Street believe Foreskin Schumer and these two Georgia jackasses are beholden to them now?

The Turtle has just won a six year term.
If he retires, the KY Governor is a RAT.

"Mitch was correct in fighting the $2,000 on principal but probably did so more to spite Trump than anything else.
Just remember Trump is not a Republican or a conservative though he did a better job than either." That is why more Americans voted for President Trump than any other Republican president ever. I am so tired of "conservatives" calling themselves guardians of the Republic. The only thing that "conservatives" have conserved is every loss of freedom that the leftists have stolen.
Senator John McCain was the lion of of the conservative movement and he stabbed us in the back by single-handedly voting to preserve Obamacare. FreedomNotSafety, I dare you to defend McCain.
Face it, without President Trump, the GOP is nothing but controlled opposition, a fake political party allowed to exist to give the illusion of choice.

"There’s the problem right there. McConnell was just re-elected to another six-year term." Yep, I know, Trump dragged his sorry ass across the finish line.....
But not as Minority Leader.....
Get him out of the leadership position! Besides, if he loses the leadership position he will resign......

If the voters will sell America out for a mere $2000, then America is ready on her death bed.Yeah, those stupid voters, broken by the lockdowns that the government forced on them. They should take their $600 crumbs with joy and be happy for the trillions in pork their representatives in government shoveled to everyone else!

Trafalgar had Loeffler ahead by 7 and Perdue ahead by 3 or 4 until the stimulus controversy erupted. After the stimulus brouhaha Trafalgar had both trailing.An outcome as predictable as the sun rising in the morning and one we were all talking about here as we watched it happen. And yet everyone wants to cry about fraud.
Democrats didn't need to steal this election. McConnell and Trump handed it to them on a platter.

Probably. Multinational corporations will do very well under Biden/Kamala by exporting all manufacturing to China, Vietnam, and other Asian countries.
Democrats only care about the welfare class and the very rich class.

I don't know about dragging him across the finish line.
McConnell won his re-election race by almost 20 points.

McConnell is in pockets of China. And China has people who run elections in purple states in their pockets. 2+2=4.
