Yes! There’s a new Sheriff in town, assholes.
I hope this ends up being more than lip service. Make the case, convict him, and put his ass away for a long time.
I do enjoy watching the DOJ go after the MAGATS.
More please!
Voter fraud, intimidation, refusing to let registration occur, either through adding unnecessary hoops to the process or “running out of forms”, and outright refusing to count votes are all part of the authoritarian GOP playbook.
Georgia Patriots it’s time for us to take back our state from these Lawless treasonous traitors. It’s time to invoke our Second Amendment right it’s time to put a bullet in the treasonous Chinese [Official A].

A modest negative change in your economic circumstances certainly does not rise to a supreme emergency by any stretch of the imagination.
OT: Select Committee starting to get the good stuff, as horrifying as we expected.
Felony charge, 5-year max. sentence. Realistically, he’s probably looking at somewhere around 6-12 months unless he’s got priors, although maybe he’ll be eligible for a terrorism enhancement. But the real punishment is he’ll have to give up all his guns.

Seizing voting machines - fascinating. Remind me, who issued Sidney Powell her license to practice law?..
