I've seen enough. Jon Ossoff (D) defeats Sen. David Perdue (R) in GA's other Senate runoff. #GASEN Democrats win control of the Senate.

It's not yet assured Ossoff's victory will end up outside GA's 0.5% recount threshold, but it's likely. #GASEN

After the election in November I didn't think the Democrats had a chance of taking the Senate. Obviously the Democratic candidates, and Stacey Abrams, but also a lot of the credit goes to Joe Biden and the way he has conducted himself since he won.
In a state where 100 years ago they lynched blacks and Jews, Georgia will be represented in the senate by a black and a Jew.
If this result holds up Joe Manchin and Susan Collins will be the most powerful Senators in Washington.
From a MAGA voter in Georgia early yesterday.
"...I am probably going to violate my own oath and vote for Republicans while Trump remains in office, but the minute he is out, I want them dead. I want to see the party destroyed and I believe with all my heart...that it has got to happen for us to win.
We are on the Republican plantation just like the poor inner city people who live in the projects are on the Democrat one. Same same...This country is boiling and they cannot see it. I want the blood of the Republican oligarchs."
So close and yet so far!

So Ossoff has taken a lead of about 16,000 votes, Democratic county Fulton will be releasing about 7000 ballot results this afternoon, so it appears to be a rap for Ossoff and his margin presently at 0.4% could increase to more than 0.5% which is the threshold above which no recount is required.
There are estimated to be 65,000 or so outstanding votes, mostly from Democratic areas.
Well GOPers can at least celebrate hockey today.

Democrats now projected to win both Senate seats in Georgia

Today’s insurrectionist attack on the U.S. Capitol was incited by Trump’s poisonous lies & flagrant assault on our Constitution.
The GOP must discard and disavow Trump once and for all, end its attacks on the electoral process, & commit fully to the peaceful transfer of power.

Truly amazin' victory which looms large.

"These 'radical' democrats who routinely throw the Palestinians under the bus at the first moment their career trajectory requires them to do so are sending a clear (and useful) message: they don't have any fixed political *principles* - they have political *aspirations*."
sound familiar dippers?
The role of the Israel lobby in Jon Ossof's ascendance
https://israelpalestinenews.org/the-role-of-the-israel-lobby-in-jon-osso...
"The new US Senator from Georgia, a 33-year old who received the most campaign donations for a Senate candidate in US history, began his political career in 2006 helping to defeat Georgia's first Black woman to be elected to Congress. She had been targeted for removal by the Israel lobby..."
