by a landslide. How amazingly fantastic and joyful we'll feel to have a Real President in the White House. I think about the restful sleep I'll have every night knowing there is someone who cares for our country and the people in it. A President who works to see that America is lifted up to where we were before and that we keep on rising together. We'll do good in the world again and make life better within our borders with a leader who knows that helping those less fortunate isn't a waste of money but an investment that makes us all stronger. I can hardly wait.

IF REPUBLICANS WANT US DEAD. fuck you GOP, YOU WILL get yours one day...and you will get it badly!


IF BIDEN WINS in a land slide and the Electorial college says BIDEN is the winner, and TRUMP brings the supreme court into it, he will end up being called the winner despite what has happened. We ARE GOING TO HAVE TO FLUSH HIS UGLY ASS OUT.... EVEN IF IT TAKES THE UNITD STATES MILITARY.

The Military is sworn to the Constitution and not to Donald Trump... they will FOLLOW Biden's orders if necessary because then TRUMP IS A LAME DUCK...and then the US MARSHALLS should take him into custody and deliver him to the Southern State of New York for trial and give him plenty of jail time.

McSally's term expires in January 2021. This would mean that Mark Kelly would not assume her seat right away:

https://ballotpedia.org/Martha_McSally


Martha McSally (Republican Party) is a member of the U.S. Senate from Arizona. She assumed office on January 3, 2019. Her current term ends on January 3, 2021.

McSally (Republican Party) is running in a special election to the U.S. Senate to represent Arizona. She is on the ballot in the special general election on November 3, 2020. She advanced from the special Republican primary on August 4, 2020.

On December 18, 2018, Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey (R) announced the appointment of McSally to the U.S. Senate to replace Sen. Jon Kyl (R). Kyl, who was appointed to the U.S. Senate in September 2018 after the death of former Sen. John McCain (R), resigned from that seat on December 31, 2018.[1]

Prior to her appointment, McSally ran for U.S. Senate in the 2018 election. McSally lost the general election to Kyrsten Sinema (D) on November 6, 2018, after advancing from the primary on August 28, 2018.

McSally is a former Republican member of the U.S. House, representing the 2nd Congressional District of Arizona from 2015 to 2019.


That 2nd Congressional District of Arizona is my district. I've been wanting McSally to be booted from politics for a while.

The term for this seat ends in 2023. Whoever wins will have to run again in 2 years not 6.

McSally's appointment was for a temporary position only until a new Senator is elected.

While I don't know the exact details of the law I assume that once the Sec of State has certified a Senator elect her appointment would be terminated. Normally this is done by mutual agreement.

Also it should be pointed out that our SOS, Katie Hobbs, a Democrat

some discrepancy about the veracity of just exactly When Mark Kelly would be sworn in if he wins.

"November 30th"
is a lot better than "January 3rd"!!

I hope that's the correct date that it says on the wikipedia page.

almost all of your kind, friendly, civil posts frequently set off an impression/reaction for me of, "Gee, what a nice dude" or "Sensitive dude!"

This explains it, not that dudes can't be nice, kind, or sensitive - yours truly being a prime example!1 I'll give my cerebral cortex a Note to modify the reaction to, "What a nice HOOMAN!1"
