Funny how all the GA State Senate districts in and around Atlanta are represented by Dems, but it’s the Republicans going after a duly elected district attorney.

I can’t decide whether Kemp is hoping that the Trumpists turn this into another self-faceplant (because the more exposure to daylight the fever swamp theories get, the more obviously stupid they look), or if he’s just trying to keep his fingerprints off the (allegorical) weapon.

Nuts?
“Nuts” is far too charitable for Paul Weyrich. Co-founder of the Heritage Foundation (with Joseph Coors’s money) and ALEC, coiner of the term “moral majority” (what, you thought Jerry Falwell came up with that one on his own?), dominionist, bigot, field marshal of the culture wars … dude wasn’t nuts, he was evil.

Question for the BAU crowd - Is THIS the last straw? Because you all keep moving the goalposts and insisting that this or that is the “last straw” for the right’s fascism, the moment when people get fed up and the news media finally notices, so…is this it? Or are we now waiting to hear what Fat Boy belches on Bullshit Social?
As always, the last straw IS the last straw until it isn’t. Keep chasing those goalposts; they always move in one direction or another anyway.
So much is being asked of the courts, prosecutors, judges, and juries through this crisis.
Our fellow citizens serve in and service the courts.
Trump and his allies target innocent government workers and people who dutifully serve on juries, demonizes them and threatens them.
Fani Willis and her team are on the front lines.

Re the end of paragraph 3, what did MTG say about the law targeting Willis? The linked article doesn’t even mention her, let alone having a quote from her.

God punished him by breaking his back, amputating both of his legs below the knee, giving him Type 2 diabetes, and finally killing him at age 66.

Yeah, this looks like the face of a guy dying. Not one of the better specimens of the human race.
See? God is lenient.

Of course, the whole point of racial gerrymandering is that it doesn’t matter if all black voters vote against them.

As a Georgian, I can tell you that Brian Kemp has every negative quality you think he has. He’s a rattlesnake.

There are some national, statewide, and senatorial elections to come.
Please dispense with the illusion that the neoConfedarate Autocrats are allied with logical consistency of thought and purpose. Achieving & Keeping Power are their only logic.
No illusions here. I agree with you 100%. I just wish they would stop this performative bs.
District Attorney is an elective office, right? People run for it. So they have to persuade voters to vote for them, which they do, or are supposed to do, by doing what they perceive voters want them to do. That, last time I checked, is how democracy works. So this idea of “OMGOMG the District Attorney is prosecuting someone FOR POLITICAL REASONS o waly waly what is the world coming to when such a horrible thing can occur” is bullshit. Everything elected officials do is inherently political, because they’re accountable to the electorate, who can kick them out of office if they don’t like what they’ve done. This is basic eighth-grade Civics.(*) Willis is up for re-election in 2024. Whoever runs against her can try to convince the voters that prosecuting Trump was a Bad Thing, and if they agree, she won’t be DA any more. Easy peasy. If the Georgia legislature wants to get rid of her some other way, it’s a fundamentally non-democratic one. Not that that particularly bothers them, of course.
(*) Well, it’s supposed to be. My eighth-grade civics class was a nine-month epic paean in praise of the glories, wonders, and utter unsullied perfection of laissez-faire capitalism. But perhaps that’s not typical.
