Still can't believe Glenn Rice hit that

Anyways it's delicious to see the MAGAts screaming about ranked choice being rigged. They're forgetting to mention they're the ones who instituted it

they did it to try to farg over murkowski...and ranked choice is actually a fairly progressive voting structure. i think maine is the only other state where its mass instituted. i personally think its the fairest way to do it, it really rankles me that in philly, 8 people run for mayor and someone wins with 23% of the vote. the same thing happens in presidential primaries. getting a quarter of the electorate to pick you has no bearing on anything. thats democracy?

anyway petula will be seated for like 2 months but shes up for reelection again lol

I'll have to watch the Biden speech later but judging by the GOP Screech Machine he did a helluva job. They're all pissing and moaning.

Meanwhile look at this wild shtein

I missed the speech last night (not feeling so swell) but I woke up and watched it this morning.

Probably the greatest speech I've ever heard in terms of a President saying exactly what needed to be said in a moment as perilous as this one is in this country. 

Nothing upsets a racist more than being called out on their racism.  Seems like the same can now be said for fascists too judging by the dime store pearl clutching and swooning they've been doing over it on social media.

I wasn't as impressed.

Republican scum

Can't recall the last Democrat who was outed for being in the KKK, gay bashing, etc.

Daily Republicans are found to be the opposite of their loudly exclaimed "morality"

Trump is partially right some of the voting machines in Georgia were tampered with...by members of the gop

The two men seen in the video with Latham, Scott Hall and Paul Maggio, have acknowledged that they successfully gained access to a voting machine in Coffee County at the behest of Trump lawyer Sidney Powell.

Obama: You'll note that he refused to hide any of my grey hairs. Refused my request to make my ears smaller. He also talked me out of wearing a tan suit
