If we don't get those two Senate seats in Georgia it will be the same as it has for the last 12 years unless McConnell has a change of heart.

The old "watch this, fuck me" approach to politics. I did not mean to come of so aggressive. I apologise for coming off that way. Obviously we both agree what the country should be.

All I am saying is people on the left need to quit going after Biden before he has even taken the oath. Bernie certainly didn't have some magic bullet to change things and most likely would have met way more resistance from the center and the right. I would imagine you and I would probably agree on most things like a national healthcare system, and free college or at least a very affordable tuition to include everyone an opportunity.

When Covid shutdowns first started, the office I worked in asked us to check our temperatures before we came to work. I have two thermometers and I was checking both, I never got above 97°. It kinda shocked me until I did a tad more research on it and read some articles similar to what you posted. ...

Sticks48 replies on Nov 29, 2020:

My normal temp is about 97. The good news is rabies can't survive that temp. this is why opossums don't carry rabies. Their normal temp is 97.

So you have two parties that can't agree. Lets throw in a third. It would only work if they took enough House and Senate seats to be able to act as the swing vote. Then again they could turn out like the Freedom Caucus, the former Tea Party, and just fuck it up even more.

@Janiesuper I don't believe in anything. I just take life as it comes to me. I suppose it will be the same with death. I will be somewhere else or I will not exist. It isn't complicated to me. i live in a country where folks like to labe. put everything in a box. I have seen it in the music business my whole life. This discussion has been going on here for the almost three years I have been here. It never really goes anywhere, and I am not sure why it matters.

Sticks48 replies on Nov 17, 2020:

That makes no sense at all. If McTurkey controls the Senate Biden has to work with the Republicans. If he doesn't we have four more years of getting nothing done. He can't pull a Trump and govern half the country. He will be the President for all Americans. Let the states go after him and take Biden out of the mix, or this shit will go on just like it has for the last twelve years. I would like to see Trump in jail, but not at any cost.
