Heard In Georgia: Psssst. Hey Buddy. Listen Up. Wanna Know How To Make An Easy $1200.00?....

Just vote for the two Dem candidates for the U.S. Senate in the Jan 5th election. You get them elected and they along with Kamala and the rest of the Dem Senate will pass the Hero's Act - and that means a $1200.00 check will be put in the mail to you compliments of Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and the Dems in Congress.

Just know that Trump and the Repugs won't do that for you. The Dems will.

Possibly A Way To Get Trump To Allow For A Proper Transition And Concede The Election......

Ignore him. Pay him no attention on any of the news shows. Don't mention his name for a week.

He so craves the attention - that he'd hold a press conference to concede and allow the transition - only to hear his name mentioned on the news again.

If you ask me - we should have ignored this guy years ago.

Maybe we should ignore him until Jan 20th, 2021 and then blast his name all around the media as he runs from the law and tries to avoid jail time.

Trump And The Repugs Are Deliberately Sabotaging Biden And His New Administration....

by not allowing a smooth transfer during this interim period between administrations. Trump is a vindictive SOB and he's doing this so that when things go awry in the early beginnings of the Biden Administration - he and the Repugs will have ammunition to criticize Biden and the Dems.

Biden and the Dems need to get in front of this now and loudly shout that Trump is doing this deliberately and that if the transfer of info doesn't go smooth with respect to the pandemic and the potential upcoming vaccine and its distribution - that any blame will fall on Trump and the Repugs.

Possibly A Useful Analogy: Starve The Virus......

When a person doesn't get food - after a period of time they die of starvation.

I'm thinking the same with the virus. We the people - are Covid's food. Covid needs us to perpetuate. Covid feasts on us.

How can we starve Covid? Well by not making ourselves available as food for Covid.

How do we do that?

Wear our masks. Isolate ourselves for a period of time from other people. Social distance. Don't give Covid a chance to use us as its food.

Essentially cut off as many pathways for Covid to use us people as its food.

Too me this is a simple way to explain to the masses how we can stop Covid dead in it tracks.

Starve the virus.

Tell The Citizens Of Georgia If The Dems Win The Two Senate Seats In Georgia - The Hero's Act Will .

be passed and they will get that $1200.00 check from the government that Trump and Mitch/Repugs have been holding up.

Do you think that will be an incentive enough to win those 2 Georgia Senate seats?

Question: Is There Another $1200.00 Check For Every American In The Hero's Act Passed By The House?

Moscow Mitch and the Senate won't pass the Hero's Act which was passed by the House to provide American's with more relief from the pandemic.

I'm not real sure if in that Act if there is another round of checks going out to the American People to provide them some economic relief from job loss; help with rent; etc.

If there is - could the Dems use that as a monetary incentive to the people of Georgia to vote for both Dem candidates in the run-off election in January?

Telling the folk of Georgia that if the Dems win these two Senate seats that they'll be able to pass the Hero's Act and the result is that they will get another government check - because the Dems will have the votes with Kamala's tie breaker to make that happen.

I know that the Repugs would use that as a carrot - so why don't the Dems use it as a carrot as well.

Now I realize that Moscow Mitch could just say that they will pass the Hero's Act to get that edge in Georgia - but I don't know if we could trust Mitch's word to do that - or they would have done it right now because they control the Senate and can do that tomorrow.

I'm just saying the Dems need to be creative and mobilize all that they could to win that election and those 2 Senate seats.

Is this strategy even realistic?

The Repugs Will Be Pulling Out All The Stops To Win The Run-Off Senate Elections In Georgia......

So the Dems need to do the same - only better. All resources that the Dems can muster up for that election must be employed.

Georgia will become the 'center of the universe' for that election.

We must be smarter and more efficient than the Repugs. We must win both of those Senate seats and by an un-contestable margin.

These Marches/Rallies For Trump On Nov 14th In Wash D.C......

do the organizers of these events have permits to carry them out?

Also - the Dems need to urge all of their constituents to STAY AWAY from these events.

These Trump supporters and Trump are just itching for some violence to break out. The best way to prevent that is just to ignore these Trumpies. Let them gather by themselves and blow out their lungs to each other. Don't encourage them in any way. Eventually they will realize they are only talking to the choir and they will go away.

Don't give these people any chance of any credibility where it isn't due.

Biden &The Dems Have To Have A Plan Ready To Go To....

prevent Trump & the Repugs from stealing this election away from us. Actions by Trump, Barr and Pompeo are really disturbing and the toadie and mum Repugs worry me.

All along Trump and company were acting smug, arrogant and cocksure that they were going to be in power for another four years. Trump even went so far by saying they were going to win back the House.

If you want to see this country deteriorate into a severe mental demoralizing depression - it's letting Trump & the Repugs steal this election after all of us are now breathing a sigh of relief.

Biden - his transition team and the Dems better be ready to go into action to prevent this.

I'm trusting that they have a plan and have enlisted other parts of this government to work with them.

I know others here on DU are saying not to worry - but I won't get a goods nights sleep until after Jan 20, 2021 when Joe and Jill are sleeping safely in the WH.

My Friend Found This On Facebook - It Was Posted By A Mother With A Son In The Military......

It appears that she bought Trump's spiel - hook, line and sinker. I'm posting her words here to let DU pick away at all the claims she makes. It would be interesting to post a point by point rebuttal to her facebook post. It amazes me as to how gullible these Trumper's are. This is what these people believe. Most of her claims here are simply laughable. Especially the one about pedophilia and sex trafficking. Here's her post:

The man in the White House just brokered two Middle East Peace Accords, something that 71 years of political intervention and endless war failed to produce.

The man in the White House is the first president that has not engaged us in a foreign war since Eisenhower.

The man in the White House has had the greatest impact on the economy, bringing jobs, and lowering unemployment to the Black and Latino population of ANY other president. Ever.

The man in the White House has exposed the deep, widespread, and long-standing corruption in the FBI, the CIA, the NSA, and the Republican and Democratic parties.

The man in the White House turned NATO around and had them start paying their dues.

The man in the White House neutralized the North Koreans, stopped them from developing a further nuclear capability, sending missiles toward Japan, and threatening the West Coast of the US.

The man in the White House turned our relationship with the Chinese around, brought hundreds of business back to the US, and revived the economy.

The man in the White House has accomplished the appointing of three Supreme Court Justices and close to 300 Federal Judges.

This man in the White House lowered your taxes, increased the standard deduction on your IRS return from $12,500 for Married Filing Joint to $24,400 and caused your stock market to move to record levels over 100 times, positively impacting the retirements of tens of millions of citizens.

The man in the White House fast-tracked the development of a COVID Vaccine - we still don't have a vaccine for SARS, Bird Flu, Ebola, or a host of diseases that arose during previous administrations.

The man in the White House rebuilt our military which the Obama administration had crippled and had fired 214 key generals and admirals in his first year of office.

This man in the White House uncovered widespread pedophilia in the government and in Hollywood, and is exposing world wide sex trafficking of minors and bringing children home to their families.

The man in the White House works for free and has lost well over 2 billion dollars of his own money in serving - and done all of this and much more in the face of relentless undermining and opposition from people who are threatened because they know they are going to be exposed as the criminals that they are if he is re-elected.

I got it, you don't like him. Many of you utterly hate and despise him. How special of you. He is serving you and ALL the American people. What are you doing besides calling him names and laughing about him catching the China virus ?????

And please educate me again as to what Biden has accomplished for America in his 47 years in office?

Have at it folks!!!!!
