It would be worth trying just to hear the histrionics from the left while getting them all on record in defiance of the effort.

Year Total ballots counted
2024 68.3%

Donald Trump won the popular vote over Kamala Harris by a 115,000 vote margin in Georgia-- 50.4% to 48.7%. His 2,666,000+ votes garnered in 2024 was purportedly an all time record for a presidential candidate in the Peach Tree State. I demand a recount

Oh, -- and Jon Ossoff rocks! Just win, baby

How many of those 2020 ballots were real, actual, legit ballots? I wonder.

The filibuster against Supreme Court justices is gone, so I think he could get 4 more. I don’t see him trying though.

As much as I hate and distrust the dimocrats, I think packing the court is an empty threat simply to drum up votes.

I disagree. They are crazy but not stupid. They have proven time and again they are willing to do anything to gain power. If and when they have control of Congress and POTUS, they will absolutely do everything and anything they can to remain in control.

Think about it this way, what could they not do with 3 or 4 more KBJ's???

Because it's unconstitutional
Uh, don't think so. How is it unconstitutional to add more justices to the court? I'm not suggesting they do that, just saying that I don't believe the constitution forbids that.

Warnock wouldn't be there in the first place if Trump hadn't both told Georgians in 2020 not to vote, and simultaneously backed not-particularly-popular David Perdue to run against him. And the supported Kelly Loeffler the next time. Now he's backing Mike Collins. This after handpicking someone who is admittedly mentally ill in Herschel Walker who also - you guessed it lost as well.


You are almost right. Trump didn't tell Georgians to stay home for the runoff for that senate seat in 2020. But others did. There were billboards all over red country telling people to not vote in the runoff because it was all rigged. That affected turnout in those areas, allowing Warnock to squeak out a win.

In 2022, where Warnock had to run again (6 years normally, but because the seat was previously held by an appointee due to the previous senator resigning/dying, he had to defend his seat just 2 years later), Walker was not an ideal candidate but still forced a runoff in that election.

FDR tried that sh!t back in the 1930s. It didn't go over very well with congress at the time. Of course, this is a very *different* congress these days, even if it is "Republican" controlled.

Republicans are weak, Dems do what they have to do right or wrong to achieve power.

I've been saying that Trump should respond to this. He should say "Our friends on the left want to pack the Supreme Court. I think it's a great idea. We are going to appoint 4 more conservative Justices this year."

Then let them respond.

This would help him is Roberts, Thomas, or Alito retire in the next 2 years, but would not help add 4 new seats

They were making the court packing threats during the 2020 election after Trump named 3 and gave the Republicans a "6-3 edge", and they did not do it under Biden. Maybe if one of their 3 have to suddenly leave office and Trump gets to make it a 7-2 swing, do I see them actually going through with their threats
