As the sun sets over Georgia, we say goodbye to the Senate second-round election that seems to have been contested from the start.
Yes, dinosaurs once ruled the earth, and Senate candidate Herschel Walker probably has a theory about how they could have been killed by werewolves. Or maybe a vampire.
This is definitely a race to remember. But now it’s over; Georgia has rightly decided that Senator Raphael Warnock, a highly regarded candidate, is better suited for the job than someone who seems to have no understanding of the subject. how many children he fathered or the abortions he paid for.
But… Wait! Wait! Warnock only received a little more than 51 percent of votes. That means over 1.7 million Georgians think it would be a better plan to have a senator whose theory of global warming is:Don’t we have enough trees?“
And the person has his or her legal address in Texas for tax savings purposes.
Let’s face it: Warnock is running against one of the worst candidates in modern American history. Who once called the upcoming election a “erection.” It was one of the most expensive races of all time, in which the Warnock can buy about 54 million dollars in TV commercials – more than double what Walker can afford.
Warnock, a highly respected pastor at the old church of Martin Luther King, served in the Senate dignified. (His first speech was an appeal – what could be bolder? – to make it easier for people to exercise their right to vote.) His campaign was as dignified as Walker’s. … are not. You would think he would at least get four or five points.
Georgia’s election is part of the “Wait! Wait! There’s more!” the topic that’s been dominating our politics lately.
The good news always seems to have a worrying downside. And it’s never just a weird/bad/disturbing thing. You think it’s all because of Donald Trump?
Well, definitely Herschel Walker’s candidate. How many times have we heard the heartwarming story of how Trump first noticed Walker’s wonderful gifts when the young man joined the American Football League, of which Trump is of course an owner. Great possession of the team?
Walker played three seasons with the USFL and really impressed Trump, who has also been involved in running the entire league successfully.
OK, forget the football stuff. That is hardly core to Trump’s identity, which he always assures us is the identity of a great businessman.
Wait! Wait! (You knew it was coming, didn’t you?) This week Trump Organization Convicted tax fraud and other crimes. Seventeen points in all, including giving away free cars and apartments off the books and not telling the IRS and cash to top employees.
You then. However, Trump is not actually on trial. It’s just his Everyone.
But wait, wait… there are other potential crimes under investigation. What about all of Mar-a-Lago’s secret files?
Well, it’s not like the bad old New York court case. Our former president probably feels he deserves the credit for personally hire a searcher his golf course and Trump Tower and lockers at Mar-a-Lago to ensure that no official documents are left out there.
But wait, wait, wait, wait… All those papers should have gone to the National Archives, right?
Yes, but Trumpists will assure you that we have strayed far from the central issue of Donald’s identity as a wealth-building genius. take official presidential document and hiding them in your own home has nothing to do with bad business practices.
We are certainly living in a time of waiting. Whatever we thought yesterday turns out to be much less interesting and less horrible than what we learn today. Imagine all those cool Republican politicians who spent years trying to show support for their former president when he said something… scary.
You know, you’re only used to smiling vaguely when a reporter asks you if you find it strange that the former president went out with an anti-Semitic rapper and an anti-Semitic white supremacist. Or why he’s telling the whole country that no one will ever be able to get a turkey for Thanksgiving. And you’re feeling like you’ve got everything pretty good in your hands and then – wait, wait! I just called terminate the Constitution.
We’ve been on this road for a long time, friends, and it’s still the same. I don’t know about you, but I just want to forget about the Senate races and Georgia and go back to thinking about a future when we will have many different topics to talk about.
Wait, wait – things like the next presidential election? Trump honks a trillion times a day while people like the governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis, try to help you really get to know them. You’ll meet so many of them, Herschel Walker will start to sound like an old friend you should have invited on your trip to the Catskills.
Okay, maybe not. But I heard Joe Biden almost took off his hat in the ring. How many times a day will we have to hear Republicans mention the possibility of a 86 years old in the White House?
Gee, at this point, that doesn’t sound terrible at all.
