Congratulations on your win. I think that the Pres and Veep wanted to get the heck out of Dodge , they always want to change the focus when there is so much crap hitting the fan. There is an awful lot truth spilling out on Capital Hill and it sure doesn't look good for this administration. Just sayin'.

Biden and Harris are toxic in Georgia.

Congrats to the Georgia Bulldogs on a hard fought, well-deserved win. As an Alabama grad, I was disappointed in the outcome but keeping it in perspective: The best team Georgia has fielded in 40 years beat the worst team Nick Saban has fielded in 14 years. Alabama had 3 senior starters, and returns 13 starters for next season. Also, the transfer portal has been very good to the Tide so far ahead of next season. Looking forward to the fall... Roll Tide!

And these people are at the controls? Sheer stupidity and arrogance. Congrats on the championship. Love the Saban comment!

I live in Sandy Springs. Who is my Senator? Is it Warnock or what's his name? Do I care?

Is this the most overwrought rhetoric in a generation? Pathetic. “Will we choose democracy over autocracy, light over shadow, justice over injustice?” “I know where I stand. I will not yield. I will not flinch. I will defend your right to vote and our democracy against all enemies foreign and domestic." This is "one of the rare moments in a country’s history when time stops and the essential is immediately ripped away from the trivial, and that we have to ensure Jan. 6 doesn’t mark the end of democracy but the beginning of a renaissance for our democracy.” Insane.

I would be careful assuming "they are really bad at this" and start looking for something we've missed. The democrats tend to play the long game on things. I don't know what their play is here but I'd start gaming out how this approach might help them, long-term. it could be to help lay the ground work for Abrams to be able to claim she is a centrist by pointing to how she obviously avoided supporting the two albatrosses when they came to Atlanta.

The University of Georgia and the Georgia Digital Library have lots of images of Georgia football. Here is a link all about it.

Needed in this conversation is a clear and concise factual understanding of all the issues of the day. What exactly is in this John Lewis voting rights bill? Okay opinion writers, where is the one place we as citizens can go to learn & understand what is being discussed, scheduled for a vote, and express our (now educated) opinion. Our Representatives would then know how to vote the issue. For all these reasons the time has come create a system capable of providing each American an opportunity to see how closely the vote cast by an elected Representative correlates with the views of those they represent. We might label it the "constituent quotient", a numerical score calculated annually, before each election cycle. The higher ones CQ score the more closely they voted in a manner consistent with the views of those in their district. Would love to work on this project with someone knowledgeable about the available datapoints.

"One out of three Trump supporters are just as dumb as the other two." -- Joe Biden

Pretty sure these two statements define the end-points of the intellectual spectrum ;)

Abrams is a Democrat, but she's convinced she has occasional moments of lucidity. Whether she can actually sell the people of Georgia on her capabilities as governor is a topic for another day.
