We can thank Harry Reid for Ana Reyes and Judges like her.

re: Would things look any different right now if Loeffler and Perdue won?

It would be huge if Loeffler and Perdue won. Republicans could stop some of the radical appointees, including Judges.

In 2019 we had 157.54 million Americans employed. It looks like the number of employed for 2021 will be around 153.70 million. Unless you use the Dems woke math, no new jobs have been added.

re: God President Trump explains the electoral college

We will never know who won the popular vote as many states do not count all the votes once the election is decided. In this election, the popular vote means nothing!
I am so sick of hearing, "but Clinton won the popular vote." That is a moot point because what was the point of this election? The game was to get the most Electoral Votes, not to get the most votes. No one, I repeat, No one knows who would have won the popular vote if we did not have the system our wise founding fathers gave us. If winning the popular vote would have been the goal of both Clinton and Trump, then both Clinton and Trump would have played this election in a much different way.
Let me make this easy. In Basketball, the team who wins is the one with the most points. Each basket is worth either 2 or 3 points, with the 3 point baskets harder to make. Team A takes 20 shots, makes 10 but all 10 are 3 point shots, thus they have 30 points. Team B takes 20 shots, makes 14 but all 14 are 2 point shots, thus they have 28 points. Under the rules of the game, team A wins. Team B does not think this is fair because they made 4 more baskets than team A. What was the goal of the game? To make more baskets or to have more points? Lets change the rules and the winner is the team with the most baskets. No one can say who would have won as the rules have been changed. Yes, team B might win; however, team A might make more baskets as they would have no reason to take the harder 3 point shots and thus they would win.
The bottom line is, if you change the rules, who knows who would have won since the point was to win and Electoral votes and not the popular vote. Winning the popular vote in this election means nothing, nothing, nothing because that was not the goal of either Clinton or Trump. It is just like team B saying, I won because I had 14 baskets and team A only had 10 baskets.
