    I think both candidates are idiots. I wouldn't vote for either candidate. One is truly a grifter idiot and the other is a trump idiot. We keep putting awful candidates up for these seats. Same in PA. Actually PA might be worse LOL. Can't fix stupid.

    Normal and ethical folks are not attracted to this profession.
    It would be awesome if politicians were mostly retired experts from various industries.
    Instead it’s a bunch of dumbasses who hope to make it a career.

    I guess that means people with glasses or people with hearing aids have no business serving in Congress, eh? Disabled people need not apply, including disabled vets.

    Herschel Walker violated Georgia Code § 16-10-23 (impersonating a public officer or employee) on live TV. Why do you like and support criminals so much?

    He’s a pastor who is already worth a million dollars. He’s perfect for Washington. Warnock will be a multi millionaire in 5 years if elected.

    My bad dyno. I guess some stick out more than others. Davis and Mutz can be reasonable too.

    Interesting tidbit, which I may have known and forgotten. Herschel played for the New Jersey Generals when Trump owned the team in the 1980's. Maggie Haberman recounts a story in her book about Trump telling the coach he was going to fire him if Herschel didn't get the ball more often.

    Record early voter turnout today in GA. Doubtful that's good for Walker.

    I was watching bill Maher today. He said that the republicans voting for horrible people like trump and walker is a firm rejection of the nonsense the democrats are trying to feed us. I don’t agree but it is causing me to thing. I hope thinking doesn’t crack any constructs in my mind. lol

    Apologies if already posted

    Walker's campaign staff knew months ago that he had paid for the abortion. Their advice: No one will find out. Go for it.

    Walker’s team knew of an abortion allegation months before it surfaced
    “It was, ‘Eh, it’s not going to come out, you’re being hyperbolic,’” said one top Georgia GOP operative, granted anonymity to discuss private conversations. “The reaction was not, ‘They’re not going to say that because it never happened.’ It was like everything else, ‘Eh, people aren’t going to find out.’”

    What the statements of support for Walker leave out is the admission that many people in top GOP circles, including those with ties to the Trump operation, were aware for months about the allegation’s existence.

    Inside the state, top operatives professed to being dumbfounded by how the Walker team has handled the matter. Immediately after the Daily Beast item went live, Walker went on Fox News to refute the story, but host Sean Hannity repeatedly quizzed him on details from the story including the $700 check. And the early insistence that the campaign would sue the Daily Beast for defamation was viewed as a strategic misstep, one that would place the onus on the candidate to back up his fervent denial in court or look like he was bluffing. Instead, the aforementioned Georgia GOP operative suggested that Walker should have downplayed the story as something from a checkered, forgotten past.

    In a sense he's not wrong because Republicans are running against the caricature of a far left that scares the shit out of GOP voters. Just watch a Marco Rubio ad to get what I'm saying.
