   Actually, what this shows is that a whole “generation” of republicans are being raised to believe that, if they “lose” at ANYTHING, all they need to do is whine loudly enough and SOMEONE will come along to “correct” the “injustice”…

   It needs to be noted, since they keep SHOWING Senator Rubio as an aspirant VEEP choice, that little “Marco R” (and Scott as well) can never be the vice-presidential pick for Trump BECAUSE the constitution FORBIDS IT!

   And, while Donnie John plans on “trashing” the entire American constitution once he’s “re-elected”, he’s not YET in charge and so can’t ignore the constitution – YET.

   You’re quite right – we WON’T know until almost December, “Old”, but there is a small “fallacy” in your statement about Ossoff, who I “like” as well.

   That “fallacy” being that our elected senators, unlike the elected Representatives that we send to represent us in congress, are really NOT supposed to care about individual “state” issues, but are, instead, supposed to concentrate on “national” issues that affect the entire country.

   I the ‘50s, one of my aunts got a spider monkey – and it basically took over her house! I’ve never seen a meaner, more irascible pet in my life…

   People, take note, primates make lousy pets.

   I tend to like Ms. Abrams, and wish she’d decided to run for national office – she’d make a fine senator, to my way of thinking – and to one of your previous posts, I think there’s a better chance that Georgia turns “blue” in 2024 then there has been in recent memory – we’ll just have to see.

   Trump’s continuing mental decline and the republican stance on abortion is placing ever more states in the “possibly Biden” camp but there are NO GUARANTEES on way or the other…

   Kurt, possibly it could be, but Mr. Jones draws the excrescence as not being divisible from the body, making it less likely to being a parasite and more likely to being an extension of the elephant’s own body.

   And, besides, warts are caused by viruses which are “organisms” which, while infecting the body, cannot live apart from it – most “ticks” can live on a variety of “hosts” while “warts” viruses are specific to one particular “host”…

   “… higher than Biden in 11 States”

   also, higher than Trump the other 39…

   The only problem is – we’d have to elect ALL of Kennedy to get the worm, and that is UNACCEPTABLE in ANY sane universe, so, basically, we’re “screwed”.

   The " wart that is (M.T.G.) on the “back” of the republican “elephant” is both much more pernicious and a bit further down…

   Planets are NOT “spheres” but oblate spheroids – there’s a “geometric difference” between the two.

    Back when I was a “wage slave”, my company sent me to Atlanta for “school” and conferences, occasionally – having grown up around “Green”, I was super impressed as to the fact that EVERYTHING was so green (less impressed that every other street in the town seemed to be some variant on “Peachtree”) – my wife was ALSO less than impressed that I always returned home to New Mexico with my “southern” accent newly reenforced – I was LESS impressed with the Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport, but then, I’ve never been a big fan of “flying” – a great state with “unfortunate” politics (in my opinion) – especially since the Georgia legislature seems poised to destroy the People’s Voice in voting matters by removing a duly elected county official "(Fani Willis) just because they don’t like what she’s doing to Donnie John… you have my sympathy in that regard…

    Walker has no business in politics – though that could be said about many that are already there – but at least you’re not having to deal with Walker while ALSO having to deal with the corrosive effect of (M.T.G.)…

    Your state is at least rationally represented in the Senate, if not the House…
