Georgia’s new QAnon-supporting Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene caused a ruckus on Sunday at the swearing-in of the new Congress when she refused to wear a mask despite requests from House floor staff, according to Politico’s Jake Sherman. “2 new Republicans — including .@mtgreenee—are being told by House floor staff that they have to put their masks on. as of now, they seem to be telling the floor staff that they will not put it on. Taylor Greene is leaving the floor with the other R, who were trying to ID,” Sherman tweeted. He noted that Trump ally Louie Gohmert (R-TX)—who has pushed to overturn the presidential election result—was also standing maskless on the House floor. After Greene’s refusal to mask up, Republican and Democratic floor staff got into “a screaming match on the floor. So this Congress is going great already,” Sherman tweeted. www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/qanon-congresswoman-marjorie-taylor-greene-refuses-to-wear-mask-at-congressional-swearing-in/ar-BB1creN6?ocid=msedgntpHopefully, GA won't put 2 more nutcases in the Senate.

I think Perdue is making a tactical error staying away from debate and conflict with Ossoff. but we will see.
here is a guy who literally has spent his life competing, and is choosing to not compete, or choosing to compete by staying home. that doesn't resonate with anyone familiar with his personal story. it is fundamentally against his nature.

They are special, rules do not apply to them. Well, if we have a nonfunctional government, more people will die. Not a problem for the party of life, right?

I contend that the GOP as it exists today is not a political party. they are an anti-government insurgency. they are a subversive element that seeks to destroy government to pave the way for something else- either anarchy, tyranny, or oligarchy- probably in reverse order.

in other words, he looks like a bench warmer, rather than a player.

the betting odds place the Democrats as favourites this morning. www.electionbettingodds.com/I should point out something about this site. first of all, they DO get it wrong. but less often than polling. that is because they are digesting information in real time and adjusting for trends. they got the 2016 election wrong, and the 2020 election right, for example. they are human beings. they breathe the same air as the rest of us. however, I have noted over the years that they are SLIGHTLY conservative. in other words, if they make errors, they TEND to favor Republicans. an example of this issue is on election night, they put the Republicans at 96% chance of retaining the Senate, and Trump with a 76% chance of winning. that was because they were going off early releases rather than what was outstanding. in other words, they throw caution to the wind when the "live information" tells them to. and it COULD BE that this is what they are doing now. but I think they are on top of this one, because there is so little else for them to look at, in terms of election bets.

I just realized that this snapshot in time may change, so I can capture the numbers here. Odds of winning: Senate: GOP 50.1% (down 6.6% today) Ossoff: 51.8% (+6.6% today) Warnock: 58.5% (+2.2% today) the odds of the GOP winning the senate are better than Democrats in the aggregate, because they only need to win ONE seat. Democrats need to win BOTH. so, really the odds of the GOP "winning" should be much higher. it should be 1- (ossoff*Warnock), or about 70%. either that, or one OR BOTH of the candidates should have much higher odds. in any case, if I were to place a bet on this, it would be on the Senate rather than either one of these races. I might be tempted to take the GOP in this case.

someone should file an injunction of that is true, to allow for later receipt of ballots postmarked by the proper date.

nothing is breaking the GOP's way so far, but the oddsmakers are showing both Democrats losing.
NOTE (again): the betting sites are pretty conservative, especially in fluid situations.
