    The good news is that they can use it when a hurricane happens.

    We need to lower the temperature. At the end of the day, we are all rocket fans and we drafted Jabari Smith. Talking crap to each other about politics isn't going to help Garuba get in shape. The Red Wave followed by Tari's ROY campaign is going to be sweet.

    While it's fun to joke around and laugh, you fail to see the grave threat that has been rising. World history repeats with a sad regularity, and the pattern is lining up nicely to some of history's worst periods.

    Full text at the link. Just included headline and conclusion because I believe The Atlantic has a paywall...

    [The Atlantic] Biden Laid the Trap. Trump Walked Into It.

    At his Pennsylvania rally, the former president gave exactly the narcissistic display his Democratic nemesis tried to provoke.


    "Biden came to Philadelphia to deliver a wound to Trump’s boundless yet fragile ego. Trump obliged with a monstrously self-involved meltdown 48 hours later. And now his party has nowhere to hide. Trump has overwritten his name on every Republican line of every ballot in 2022.

    Biden dangled the bait. Trump took it—and put his whole party on the hook with him. Republican leaders are left with little choice but to pretend to like it."

    I approve of the MAGA slogan like 70 million voters that didn’t vote for Biden did - I’m a trump supporter if it means choosing between Trump or Biden ,…I guess I am a threat to the democracy along with everyone that didn’t vote for Biden lol ok …I’m a maga republican yall ! Ok now if trump isn’t the candidate and the new candidates slogan is “Fix Us” I will be a FU republican ! Whatever the slogan is I’m down that’s how pretty much all trump supporters/maga republicans ,…once trump isn’t the candidate it’s next man up

    This is why they are a threat. This is a plan Trump and his team were encouraging and helped formulate based on evidence from the Jan. 6th hearings.


    Election deniers repeatedly visited Ga. county office at center of criminal probe, video shows

    The footage also shows that earlier in January, Cathy Latham, a teacher and then-chairwoman of the county Republican Party, greeted a group of outside data forensics experts when they arrived at the elections office shortly before noon on the day of the alleged breach. Latham has said in sworn testimony that she taught a full day of school that day and visited the elections office briefly after classes ended. She was one of 16 Republicans who signed certificates declaring Trump the rightful winner of the 2020 election as part of the “fake elector” scheme now under investigation by federal and state prosecutors.

    It’s looking really bad for Trump in the Georgia election interference case. So Latham was involved in the fake elector plot, a breach of voting machines, and has lied to investigators.

    She apparently took the fifth when asked if she had contact with Rudy Giuliani. Latham was definitely in contact with Sydney Powell. There is only one degree of separation between Trump and the people on the ground committing crimes. And Powell and Giuliani were in direct contact with Trump at the White House.

    True. We know Trump participated in the meeting discussing this exact illegal attempt.

    Timely. That’s one heck of a trailer.
