The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power, pure power...No one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. George Orwell, 1984

It’s a great day to be a Georgian. Jon Ossoff and Rev. Warnock cast the 49th and 50th votes for Covid relief last night. Help is on the way!

145 House Republicans supported Liz Cheney on a secret ballot. But only 9 could find the courage to join her when they had to put their name on it. Profiles in courage, they are not.

Another year, another set of archives to take to storage. 37 years now! There is something poetic about boxing up a year’s worth of stories and moving on to the next. It remains an honor and a responsibility we cherish. Alpharetta-Roswell Herald Johns Creek Herald Forsyth Herald Milton Herald Dunwoody Crier

I will not share the video of Officer Sicknick being beaten to death by the Trump mob. It’s horrible and anyone who laid a hand on him should be charged with murder. Here is the verified GoFundMe to help his family.

If only she’d have been given an opportunity to vote to remove him from office.

Better late than never.

Carl thinks he can beat me.

Impeach and remove.

Intense episode. Preston and Megan came to play.

More than 140,000 COVID deaths in the US since Don Jr. said they’d gone down to almost nothing.

They should let Jon Ossoff sign the $2,000 stimulus checks.

The man with the nuclear codes has been deemed too dangerous to have a Twitter account.

Today’s front page.

A dark day for America. 13 long days left. Hang in there.

I wonder how the election would have turned out for her had she followed her conscience from the start, instead of pandering to the wannabe dictator. That has to be hell to sell your soul, gain nothing in return and be left to wonder what could have been.

Here is the President of the United States defending an armed, violent attack on the US Capitol by domestic terrorists. Today will forever be a stain on American history.

Dictators ride to and fro upon tigers which they dare not dismount. And the tigers are getting hungry. - Winston Churchill

Is there a more appropriate time for invoking the 25th Amendment than to put down a coup against America supported by the Commander in Chief?

The coup attempt is in progress. What a dark day for America. Shame on anyone who stoked these fires.

The moral arch of the universe is long, but it bends toward justice.

Georgia on My Mind on repeat kind of morning.

A fitting end to the Trump Presidency. A Jew and a black preacher just flipped the Senate in the Deep South. I’m so f****** proud of you Georgia.

IF YOU ARE IN LINE BEFORE YOUR POLLING PLACE CLOSES STAY IN LINE. YOU WILL BE ALLOWED TO VOTE.

IT IS ELECTION DAY IN GEORGIA!! GO VOTE!!

Josh Hawley not a fan of the Fox News fact check.

The 2022 election cycle is going to be wilddd

Let me get this straight: the unelected US Senator is objecting to the results of the election for which shewasalsoontheballot?! Are you paying attention? She’s mocking you.

"If you’d have asked me two months ago to put my money on someone who could help rebuild and lead a Georgia Republican caucus that had just seen its state elect a Democrat for president for the first time since 1992, I’d have put my money on Brandon."

What’s the difference between this and a mob shakedown?

Impeach him again.

I believe that the President has learned from this case. I believe that he will be much more cautious in the future. - Senator Susan Collins, on why she voted to acquit President Trump on the charge of Abuse of Power.

Jody Hice was elected on the same ballot, on the same day, using the same voting technology as Joe Biden. People like Jody Hice are banking on the idea that you can’t think for yourself. He’s mocking you. Question is, will you let him?

So much for the party of states’ rights.

Perdue and Loeffler don’t cast a vote. Profiles in courage, those two.

Good riddance 2020. Bring it on 2021.

LAST. DAY. OF. 2020.

Another gift for Ossoff and Warnock. Republicans are doing everything they can to lose their majority in the Senate.

Just allow us to find the crime, and turn the state Republican....

Honestly these pics of our healthcare workers getting their Covid vaccinations is more than I can take. God bless America.

I am donating $600 today in honor of Mitch McConnell, because f*** that guy.

Mitch McConnell is single handedly blocking the increased Covid relief for Georgians that President Trump requested. Fortunately, we can do something about it RIGHT NOW. Here is the link to find an early voting location and elect Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock to the US Senate.

I love this story!

The President was faced with the decision to either sign a bill helping millions of Americans or go golfing. And he chose golfing.

Unemployment benefits for millions of Americans lapsed overnight as Pres. Trump refused to sign the COVID relief bill. How AWFUL does this ad look *now* that Perdue paid for and aired over the holiday!!!?

Surprise surprise. It should tell you a LOT that they can’t just run on their record.

It was a great morning for delivering donuts. #donutman

Who wore it better?

Well, it was inevitable. Here we come Milton Girls Lax.

Finals matchup vs. Grandmaster Silver Fox coming down to the wire. Who will prevail?

An estimated 178,000 Georgians lost their health insurance between February and May 2020, Hill said. Georgia is now one of eight states where more than 20 percent of adults are uninsured.

Most corrupt administration in history.

This will be a hell of a case.

I wonder what would have happened if Trump had pushed for a vote on Nancy Pelosi’s relief bill back in March, instead of realizing we need help in mid-December. Would we be seeing a 3rd Covid spike? Would he have won re-election? So many paralell universes we’ll never understand. And the thing is...it was as obvious and easy a call as it is now. He only has himself to blame.

To be continued.

Obama spent his final days in office commuting sentences of nonviolent drug offenders. Trump is spending his final days in office commuting sentences of people who said nice things about him on TV and/or covered up his crimes against America.

It was a very dark year for journalists worldwide. They continue to have my utmost respect and appreciation.

Since 1995, her family's farms have collected $3.2 million in federal subsidies. Subsidies for me, but not for thee. - Kelly Loeffler

There should be a law that a certain amount of time must be allocated to actually reading a bill before it can be voted on. The 5k page bill that spends $1.4 trillion dollars of your money was given to lawmakers just hours before it was voted on. Does that make sense, to anyone?

Let them eat cake.
