As you can see, the shots of the audience (consisting of a balanced demographic of blonde and brunette white women) do not match the energy on stage. Lymon’s zestful stage presence (also, shout-out to Larenz Tate’s portrayal of the late iconic singer) is bursting with joy while these bigoted birds are as bland as the cottage cheese casserole they made for dinner following the concert. They are as rhythmless as the trot they made some 60-odd years later to the polls so they could vote for a tangerine tyrant who eventually lost the race fair and square. Welp.

Georgia leaders reject calls for special session to change runoff voting rules
Georgia leaders reject calls for special session to change runoff voting rules
Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp said Tuesday he won’t call a special legislative session to tighten residency requirements for the Jan. 5 runoffs, despite pressure from some supporters of President Donald Trump to make it harder for new residents to cast their ballots in the consequential election.
He and Georgia’s two top legislative leaders - Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan and House Speaker David Ralston - released a joint statement that threw cold water on the idea that lawmakers could overhaul voting rules this close to the twin runoffs that could determine control of the Senate.
“Any changes to Georgia’s election laws made in a special session will not have any impact on an ongoing election and would only result in endless litigation,” the three Republicans said.
“We share the same concerns many Georgians have about the integrity of our elections. Therefore, we will follow the coming audit and recount closely and will work together to keep Georgia’s elections safe, accessible and fair.”
State Rep. David Clark, who was crushed this week in a bid to oust Ralston as new speaker, is among several Republicans who urged the governor to call lawmakers back to Atlanta. He said legislators should make it harder for newly-arrived Georgians to cast their ballots in the runoffs to prevent outsiders from “interfering in our elections.”
State law allows new residents to register to vote with county officials by Dec. 7. It also makes it a felony to vote if you are in the state briefly with the intention to move away.
Clark and other critics say it opens the possibility for a wave of out-of-state residents to move to Georgia for the dual runoffs, which pit U.S. Sen. David Perdue against Jon Ossoff and U.S. Sen. Kelly Loeffler against the Rev. Raphael Warnock.
There’s no evidence of a crush of out-of-state residents moving to Georgia for the election, though former presidential candidate Andrew Yang announced he would move to the state for the runoffs and encouraged his supporters to follow him. It’s not clear if Yang intends to register to vote.

Two random things that will happen next year because of VP elect Harris
Kamala will be one of the most popular names for baby girls
Increased enrollment in HBCUs.
The last time I listened to an entire presidential speech - it was President Macron
I usually turn the channel after a few mins of trump foaming at the mouth. Listening to Macron addressing congress was so comforting when we did not have our own president to offer words of wisdom. Now we do!
Take that Peggy Noonan! Yes she did walk out to Mary J. Blige. Love it!
Nobody is going to steal her joy, or ours!
We remain a divided country, but I take solace that we will be a safer. A new DOJ and Atty General
that will not play around with boogaloo boys, proud boys and Q Anon nuts. Drag their assess. They are a threat to national security. They are fucking terrorists. To think that the FBI report on white supremacy and right wing extremists being a threat had to be downplayed to appease trump is outrageous.
So far we know they planned to kidnap a sitting governor, they have murdered law enforcement officers, sold firearms to overseas terrorists, plotted to sabotage an election. That's only in the last few months. Just imagine what we don't know.
What will trump's letter in the drawer to Joe Biden say?
The last communication from the outgoing president to incoming president - when revealed, have shown to be beautiful prose.
What will trump's letter say?
I won. Nobody wins like me?
These same people frothing at the mouth, said Russian meddling was a hoax. Despite evidence from
EXPERTS, FBI, CIA - people who have the most sophisticated intelligence. They said Nope we don't believe it. But they believe fraud - from people that think democrats have children locked in a basement to drink their blood.
