‘Empty podium really speaks volumes’: What you missed in Georgia this weekend!

Over the weekend in Georgia, we had another mask-free, super-spreader lie-fest rally, two debates, one empty podium, a barrage of illegal threats aimed at GOP sycophants, and the president’s free-lawyer/world’s oldest intern is said to have spread the COVID-19 he now has to “hundreds and hundreds” of people during a recent trip to Atlanta.

Oh, and the Falcons lost to the Saints.

But it seems like America continues to lose as long as the orange man-baby still has a bully pulpit and a merry-band of uncritical thinkers who believe in neither science nor math.

The Donald continues to act more like a mob boss and less like an elected official. It’s as if he has a wheel that he spins with every name in Georgia’s government that he then rattles off a threatening tweet or a blackmail-y phone call at. You’d think that he would have learned from his failed Ukrainian quid pro quo that led to impeachment, but then again, if you were a thinker, you probably realize that he has the memory of a fruit fly that has just had his tiny brain crushed and will never “learn a lesson.” (Sorry, Susan Collins.)

At his rally Saturday night in Valdosta, Ga., Trump again scolded Republican Governor Brian Kemp for not advancing his calls of fraud.

Your governor could stop it very easily if he knew what the hell he was doing… So far, we haven’t been able to find the people in Georgia willing to do the right thing.

Hey, king loser! How about YOU DO THE RIGHT THING for the first time in your life and admit that you got blown out by Biden?

Brian Kemp is smart enough to realize that his shelf-life exponentially exceeds Trump’s which, if there is any justice, will be permanently extinguished ten seconds after Joe Biden lifts his hand off the Bible.

Then there were the two debates for the seats that will determine control of the Senate and whether Mitch McConnell is able to ignore the hundreds of bills that land on his desk.

I’m going to walk that back. There weren’t two debates. More like one and a half. Because Georgia’s only ELECTED SENATOR was too scared to participate. David Perdue, now forever known as Chicken Perdue, got embarrassed at a previous debate against his opponent, Jon Ossoff. I mean REALLY embarrassed.

Check it out:

And now that even more info has come out about the Chicken profiting off the pandemic (while he downplayed it to his constituents) with his personal stock sales, he’s under even more scrutiny. So, rather than have a repeat performance with more eyeballs watching, Perdue chickened out.

However, the podium was already rented, so why not give it a little stage time? Which is what Jon Ossoff did. The moderator even allowed Ossoff to ask the podium a question.

Here it is:

That makes Clint Eastwood’s empty chair seem like a nothing-burger.

Then there was the debate between appointed, non-elected GOP Senator Kelly Loeffler and the Reverend Rafael Warnock. Loeffler, whose husband is the CHAIRMAN OF THE NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE, refused to acknowledge that Trump lost the election. Spoiler alert: Trump did. Bigly.

When she did speak, she continually parroted the words “Radical Liberal” at Warnock. Warnock fired back about Loeffler making lots of stock trades after her coronavirus briefing in January. He also tied her to QAnon.

Here are some highlights:

The MeidasTouch people have again struck gold with their latest Christmas-themed video in which they scorch the GOP’s tiny hearts and giant globs of hypocrisy.
