Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election.

(The Atlantic: free) A long article by Jamie Thompson. Stunning, well-written, balanced, and very clear about a few (primarily one) of the participants in the Jan 6 invasion of the Capital. Helped me understand more about some of the J6ers. Highly recommend.

The underlying principle of the Trump presidency is that rules are merely instruments of power with no inherent legitimacy. If Clinton or Obama had done this the GOP would have howled for impeachment, and they'd have been right.

That is why we are doing everything to stop this war and to guarantee security. But the problem is this. Putin is no longer interested in anything else.

Putin does not live like ordinary people. He doesn't walk the streets. You will not see him in a cafe.

How the fuck is Corey Lewandowski in any position to fire a Coast Guard pilot?

What is his title?

What is his job?

What is his official position in the US government?

If you are Kristi Noem’s boyfriend you get to fire Coast Guard officers?
