    Yeah, I remember Kavanaugh. He and Walker are both bald faced liars, a common trait among Republicans these days.

    This is so offensive in so many ways.

    BTW, housing allowances are essentially a way for pastors to receive tax-free compensation. It's supposed to be limited to the lesser of the actual property cost, FMV rental value, or actual value of ministerial services. So for him to receive an 89K/yr housing allowance, he actually needs to be paying that much, and needs to be providing that much value to the institution. I have difficulty fathoming any pastor needing primary housing that costs 7500/month, as well as a sitting US Senator being able to do that job effectively, yet also provide $90K worth of ministerial services to his church annually.

    I know I've gotten into discussions previously about church taxation, but instances like these are the kinds of things that justify the outcry over ministerial tax avoidance.

    Another woman has claimed Walker paid for her abortion. She did not want the abortion. She described leaving the clinic in tears, unable to go through with it. Walker then drove her to another clinic and insisted she get the abortion. He told her he loved her. He was married to another woman at the time.

    Incidentally, the woman claims she voted for Trump twice but Walker is morally unfit to be a senator. That is correct. But how she called could think Trump was morally fit to be president is beyond me.

    Unbelievable to me. I mean Warnock is no prize, but he's clearly head and shoulders better than Walker.

    Perhaps the most unqualified person to ever seek election to Senate.

    I am confused what is the point in the run-off. Where there other people on the ballot who won't be on the run off? Hoping people change their vote? Won't they basically end up in the same place?

    The third party candidate leached off 80,000 some votes. Votes that will go to one of the candidates, likely Warnock. Also, it will give a chance for some who didn't vote, to vote in the run off.

    There were similar runoffs in the 2020 election

    Am I reading this wrong or does the senate look like it's going to end up 50/50?
