Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."

Setting aside the fact that they lightened both Mamdani & Crockett, why the hell did they put Nazi Tattoo guy front & center given that he’s the only one of the three who’s never won an election for anything?
A base that has long made pragmatic, sober decisions appears increasingly attracted to charismatic outsiders who promise to break from the party’s failures of the last decade. They see their party’s leaders as feckless and inept.

We’ve been worried that this guy is either so dumb he didn’t know he had an SS tattoo for 17 years,
or, more likely, that he learned the truth at some point but that he didn’t care.

Sometimes very hard not to feel like the rest of the country has abandoned Minnesota. We STILL have ICE everywhere. Our schools, businesses, and economy are in profound crisis. But without Bovino here throwing tear gas, much of the country seems to not care at all what’s being done to us.
