    A preview of the next election(s)?

    This special election in Florida found the two extremes at odds---and that was before the election.

    Next liar stand up

    Now, after the election it has become bizarre.

    Nearly two weeks ago Republican Jason Mariner lost Florida’s 20th District special election House race to Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick in a 79%-20% landslide, CBS Miami reported.

    However, Mariner has refused to concede to Cherfilus-McCormick, the first Black woman to represent the predominantly Democratic district.

    “NOW THEY CALLED THE RACE, I DID NOT WIN, SO THEY SAY, BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT THEY LOST EITHER, IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT WE LOST,” MARINER SAID.

    A few hours before the polls even closed on January 11, Mariner filed a lawsuit claiming there were issues with the ballots in Palm Beach and Broward counties.

    “And we’ll also have some stuff coming out that we’ve recently discovered,” he added.

    I don't know about the rest of y'all but, I'm going to stock up on popcorn now and avoid the price hikes that will become inevitable once people start to buy it for the uncountable number of recounts.

    I hear you IV but what is going on now concerns me far too deeply to think about popcorn. Our Republic is under threat.

    Damn right the republic is under attack. That's the reason we need to vote the people in office that are ruining it out and take the country back in 2022.
