There's nothing abstract about my argument. We don't have people who believe women should be stoned for showing their hair. He said that Democrats called him an Islamiphobe, but I certainly wouldn't. I would just say his argument is silly.

You are taking an example made in a video out of context and arguing with the example as if it were a point of fact, you are pathetic paul.

This is old news you are posting. The number as of today is 27. Seventeen of which are Republicans.

The 2026 midterm election is over a year away and I expect a red wave with Georgias 2 Senate seats to flip red as well.

Only one Georgia Senate seat is up for grabs next year. That's the one Ossoff holds. And, your guy said we have people coming here that believe women should be stoned for showing their hair. Anyway you look at it, that was his point.

 

[RedCowboy]

No that was not his point. At 43 seconds he says " let me give you an example " and then gives the example.
One Ga. senate seat and our Governor are up for election in 26, both will be Republican wins.

That's still not two Senate seats. Maybe you will take that Senate and maybe not. You have lost both in the past and Trump is a drag on your party. I wouldn't be surprised at all if you lost it again.

Our Ga. State House and Senate are always Republican Majority, and I expect in 26 our Governor and Ossoff will be replaced with Republicans, but even if they aren't our State House and Senate will be Republican majorities.

Congratulations. Ours is always Democratic. So is our governor and both Senators. Last time I checked you have two Democratic Senators. Who knows what the future holds for Georgia?

Atlanta ( Fulton co. ) and the metro counties within the 285 perimeter, Dekalb, Gwinnett, Cobb, Clayton are packed with dem voters, plus a few others, but the majority are Republican.

So while our Gubernatorial race could someday elect a dem, out State balance of power will remain red for the foreseeable future.
It was Republican majority under Clinton, Obama, Biden and under Trump it won't change.

Your Democratic voters are in the largest cities. The rest of the state is less populace. You are only showing what happened in Kemp's election. I wouldn't be surprised at all if Ossoff wins again.

Like I said even IF.... BIG IF, Ossoff and Kemp were replaced with democrats, our State House and Senate will still be Republican majority.

I don't think Ossoff will be replaced. He has a good chance of being reelected. He is the Democratic Senator up for reelection.

Trump had gone to the DC Court of Appeals asking that they stay the lower Court ruling that precluded him from firing Lisa Cook. He asked that they rule by today. So far, no such ruling. The District Court found that only malfeasance in office would be a good reason. That is not at all what Trump is trying to do.

 

[paul1598419]

Trump, unlike some EU members, has not levied any sanctions against Russia. Trump says he wants the EU to stop buying Russian oil, but it would be nice if Trump were more than just talk.

His chances are already slipping, he's been ineffective, I believe he will not be reelected.

Democratic Alderman Raymond Lopez has criticized Chicago Gov. J.B. Pritzker and Mayor Brandon Johnson for downplaying crime while opposing President Donald Trump’s federal intervention. He warned that far-left leadership has damaged the Democratic Party’s image and urged a return to centrist policies. Lopez questioned claims that crime is declining, emphasizing that even a single homicide is unacceptable and stronger action should be required to protect public safety.

I don't think anyone has claimed that crime is acceptable. But, putting the National Guard in Chicago isn't the answer to crime. If Trump really cared about crime, instead of optics, he wouldn't have stopped the Federal grants to these cities.
