None of that means anything. “The president” repeatedly lied about voting in Georgia, why should we give a **** about anything he says? For example: https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2020/dec/04/facebook-posts/no-georgia-election-workers-didnt-kick-out-observe/


Bill Adair, founder and contributing editor of the “fact-checking” website Politifact, was “journalist in residence” in 2012 for the U.S.-China Education Trust (USCET), which hosts journalism programs aimed at advising Chinese Communist Party-run media outlets and journalism schools.

If you can't lie, fact check.


......the fact check was just quotes from Gabriel Sterling, the Republican in charge of vote counting. If you aren’t going to bother reading, don’t bother responding.

............the fact check was just quotes from Gabriel Sterling, the Republican running vote counting in Georgia, explaining what was on the video. I’m sorry, but facts don’t care about your feelings.

Even if you didn’t like a politifact link, the AP, Forbes, USA Today, The Washington post, NPR etc etc etc all carried the same thing. Instead of being mad at reality, be mad at the people who thought you were stupid enough to believe their lies.

I'm quite familiar with the law tyvm. The state legislature is just asserting their sole Constitutional responsibility to decide the voting procedures for their state.

Democrats are sketchy AF on a daily basis, so I realize this both hurts their feelings as well as their ability to cheat.


If you're so familiar, why would you sum up the bill to requiring ID to vote?

Hilarious take that democrats are sketchy, your president and his cronies have and will be indicted on several criminal and civil charges. Trump pardoned several of his crew who were currently in jail or could potentially face jail in the coming years. Trump played down covid, caught it, fell very ill and was put on a ventilator and given experimental medicine because his health was deemed so critical. He then plays down the vaccine, but then very secretively gets it... What a poser.

He was never fit for office, and shame on the Republican party for supporting his campaign & presidency and feeding into & perpetuating all his lies, especially after several of his major delinquencies which cost the American people a lot of lives. He's by far, THE WORST president in US history.


The main point of the bill is requiring ID for all votes. Absentee ballots still exist, they just have to be verified.

And not close; that "honor" belongs James Buchanan, followed by Jimmy Carter.

You just keep on keeping on projecting your own failings onto Trump :lol:


Good comeback, I can see 'the process' is still ongoing. I provide facts and you deflect, definitely sound like someone who'd blindly follow Trump and the most spineless Republican party ever. The fact that you would put Carter ahead of Trump on the worst US presidents list says more about you, then you know.

Btw speaking of failures, did it ever dawn on you that the reason Trump only pays $750/year in income taxes is because his businesses lose more money then they make, good thing Fred was so successful or Donald would be living under the Brooklyn bridge by now.

fulton and cobb counties. transparency problems every election.

where exactly did he say that?

as for sending watchers, there were already watchers inside all the rooms nationwide. Republicans just embarrassed they lost the state vote and also lost both senate seats

no, half the country doesnt say that. now a majority of the republicans that lost did. But only because they believe the big lie told by the orange man, where they could not show evidence in court and actually stated in court, "this is not about voter fraud". he also claimed fraud if, not when but if, he didnt get the republican nomination in 2016.

Democrats werent happy they lost in 2016 and there were some complaints. they didnt try and overthrow the election results and they worked hard for the next 4 years. maybe republicans should learn from that.

that wasnt Kemp, that was Loeffler and Perdue, losing when they thought they had their elections in the bag. You said Kemp, show me Kemp saying there was lock of transparency.

how do you lose your seat to a runoff decided by a fraction of a percent ? then lose the runoff the morning after just marginally ? everything needs to be under the microscope. no fulton and cobb county affidavit worthy objections.

maybe because the Devil (Trump) came down to GA and told his fans the election is rigged (big lie) and not to go out and vote. Maybe some people on the fence got tired of all the lies from Loeffler and Perdue. oh, and Cobb County, predominantly white. it wasnt just black people voting for Biden. And many people justified it as not voting for Biden but voting against Trump

you dont like Charlie Daniels band?

and lets get real, you didnt stop reading at that. you just refuse facts that dont support your argument. no skin off my nose, i ride the middle, not a republican or democrat. More of a "show me thru your votes and actions" supporter when i chose who to vote for. GA republicans want to tie themselves to Trump, they are now facing the financial ramifications of those choices. Probably at least $80million lost right there and more to come.

The Democrats spent 4 years crying foul, impeding everything they could, saying the election was faulty somehow, and impeaching the guy twice for nothing. Because they were butthurt they lost. Hard work my ***. COVID was a godsend to Dems politically.
