  1. Just imagine what they'd think of Barry Goldwater.
  2. I don't think he'll really notice. He's been doing that on his own for at least a decade.
  3. I wouldn't know as a don't read those, though that wouldn't surprise me in the least. In the event this is an inside joke, I'm not privy.
  4. Kemp is term limited, and you are correct on Ossoff (just looked it up). Ossoff is young but quite experienced at campaigning, he ran twice before for Congress seats (I have a friend that helped him host events a couple of times). He's also not hugely unpopular, whereas Warnock is among Republicans, but his term is up during the Presidential.
  5. Unlike her Netflix deals, I'd leave her with residuals.
  6. Not so sure about that, how many guys have paid more in a standard divorce to have sex with another woman and be done with their wife?
  7. I'm from Alabama, but have lived in Georgia much of my life. Long story short, born in Birmingham, but spent almost all my youth in Atlanta. I was a legacy at Alabama and went for school, then immediately back to Atlanta. Basically, of my 44 years, about 7 were in Alabama, the rest here. I do not know Kemp's mind, and I have not ever met him. I do however, know several people in his orbit in the real estate world (including one that is a good friend of his and was a fraternity brother at UGA). Like many Republicans, this guy just assumes that everyone around him is also a Republican and he is a braggart so he boasts of his conversations because A. He think's he's cool (he's not) B. He thinks it makes him sound plugged in (he isn't). To answer your question, I know him and several people around him were pushing for him to swoop in late for POTUS once the early primary clowns were out and it started to appear that Trump was finished. I did find this plausible, and if there had been intent, I think the court delays stopped that. The timing on the Senate is interesting given Ossoff's term being due next, which coincides with the next Presidential. He can run for one or the other, what's his ambition level? He may well be the standard bearer for the anti Trump Republicans and an example of success against their stupidity. Regrettably, I don't think he'll just fade away. If I had to put money on it, I'd say Senate, but I wouldn't rule out a POTUS run.
  8. If you are a subcontractor working with those sorts you can also prepare thy anus. Long before it was a common joke, I can recall steering clear of a couple of companies who during interviews made it a clear point that they were like a "Christian family".
  9. A number of years ago I had to travel out of the country for business. Prior to leaving, in a meeting I mentioned that I was going to read the State Department's advisory prior. You'd have thought I was a Martian based on the bewildered looks I got. Very few people seem to remotely understand that when you go to another country you are a guest and need to act accordingly.
  10. Democratic Representative NJ - Donald Payne has died. Sucks because the margins are so razor thin.
  11. Trump is going to spend the next 6 months in criminal trials while at the same time attempting to stave off bankruptcy and hawking trinkets (news flash, he will fail at all of it). Yet in the midst of all of that, you think he's going to suddenly show up and debate and do well? Being in a court room is sort of akin to flying coach, or just flying period, its fucking exhausting, and my only experience is a juror in comparatively the prime of my life. I have to imagine that it's far more so if your freedom is potentially on the line for anyone of any age, let alone a 78 year old. Mind you, this is a guy who under the best of circumstances couldn't string together 4 sentences about policy before all this. Yet in the midst of all of these factors, suddenly he's just gonna have it? Quite frankly, there is a far better chance of him stroking out given all the stress in the midst of a debate than him suddenly turning into James Carvile. He won't debate, but if for some reason he agrees to one, bring it on. I'm all for him continuing to humiliate himself.
  12. Neither MSNBC, nor CNN is even reporting about this on their websites. Oh well, must just be run of the mill bad news for Biden.
  13. 12% reporting, Haley with 31%, it doesn't appear to be a localized fluke based on that.
  14. I think there was a 4 alarm fire on the lower east side, maybe that was them.
  15. Because Barry Loudermilk is absolute shit heel of a human and gigantic coward. Regrettably, also my Congressman.
  16. Didn't vote because none of the options are what I think will happen. My guess is he is convicted in the hush money, convicted in the insurrection case, convicted in the documents case, and the Rico case is just underway prior to the election. Despite being convicted, and either sentenced or sentenced pending appeal, he still has the nomination and will be the nominee at the convention. Republicans will secretly want to drop him but won't have a choice and will see the matter thru. He loses the election in rather spectacular fashion. Between now and middle 2025 he will have exhausted appeals on at least one case with prison time and will be given a report date. The Bureau of prisons will arrange this and he will ultimately wind up at an Air Force Base prison (assuming he doesn't die between now and then, which I'd put at 50/50. He is going to prison, might not be a normal one, but its happening.
  17. With just a bit of engineering know how you can fashion a garden hose into a crude bidet. Nothing screams class like an outdoor bidet.
  18. What a fucking chode. Good news, yesterday was the worst day of Trumps life. Today will be worse for him (what a pity). He's pretty much to the point where every day of his remaining pitiful life is going to be the worst day of it; with things getting subsequently worse as it goes. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
  19. I'd say zero because when it comes right down to it he's a giant pussy. However, given his advancing dementia, I'd give it 10% before the trial is over he has some sort of outburst.
  20. So today his first criminal trials starts, down the hall his bond is up for rejection, and later this week his ridiculous immunity claim will be heard at the Supreme Court. It's a good day.
  21. I'm not sure Stacey is gonna run it back. Keisha Bottoms (former Atlanta Mayor) and Congresswoman Lucy McBath, are two of the names I've heard floated. McBath is interesting because she represents parts of suburban Atlanta and that could translate well (she changed suburban districts due to gerrymandering). The downside is that McBath means we would lose a good Democratic Congresswoman for an uphill battle (Dems would retain the seat). There are other people I've heard mentioned, but nothing that indicates to me it's anything but chatter. Make no mistake though, Duncan is a right wing lunatic, but a calculating one. I do have to give him credit, he has been by all accounts forthcoming and publicly honest about the crimes committed by Trump and Co regarding the rico case. However, he is certainly campaigning on this and it's already playing well and will continue to do so in suburban Atlanta.
  22. Swing votes, he'll run for Governor in Georgia after Kemp, and unfortunately, he stands a good chance of winning, at least in part because of his willingness to attack this.
  23. He'd never lose an election. He'd never leave office. He'd never get indicted. He'd never get busted for fraud. He'd never go to trial. They'd never be able to seat a jury. Now it's shifted to: well he'll never get convicted. Next it will be, well, he'll never get sentenced. Then it will be he'll never have to report. (Assuming he isn't dead, which I'd be fine with). I see an emerging pattern here.
