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."

🤔 @AGTennessee Skrmetti has @RepAndrewFarmer & @SenJohnStevens making it harder to sue over unconstitutional GOP laws — after MEMPHIS sued over Trump’s invasion.

Republicans repealing their own law? When AFP & Dems agree, you know it’s bad.

The legacy media keeps getting this wrong. Trump didn't say "nationalize the election."

He said We should take over the VOTING in at least many—15 places.' The Republicans ought to nationalize the VOTING."

There is a big difference.

Variety; Stung by the revelations of her 20 year friendship with Epstein, and how she profited from that relationship, NY culture maven Peggy Siegel now whines, “[I]t is tragic I am again humiliated by the media and ostracized by my friends.”

Yeah, Peggy, it’s tragic for you, and not the victims.

Variety: The day Epstein was released from prison, NY culture maven Peggy Siegel emailed him about how great it was for him to sleep on 100% Egyptian cotton, and dine on caviar and smoked salmon again. She told him “Your friends are there for you”. She spent 10 years boosting him w/the Right People.

One of the biggest cop-outs in Western civilization is to address a difficult social ill with the words “ there ought to be a law”.

Because it’s rare that there isn’t a law.

The cop-out is that the law is often not applied.

And we complain instead of insisting that the law be enforced.

Guardian: Famous Stupid Decisions: In Oct 1978, then French President Valery Giscard D’Estaing persuaded himself that Ayatollah Khomeini was a good democratic alternative to the autocratic Shah, and that France would benefit from lucrative Iranian contracts, and so gave Khomeini asylum.

Taking him up on his demand, the FCC has announced the results of said investigation.

They found no broadcast violations.

You know why? Becuase all those explicit lyrics that MAGA keeps complaining about were never actually performed during the live show. They were edited, censored, or omitted.

Trump has bragged about going in dressing rooms with naked young girls, grabbing women by their genitals, wished he had sex in common with his daughter, is an adjudicated rapist, and best buddies with an notorious pedophile. This isn't smoke. This is a raging inferno of a sex pervert.

Wow! This is some top-notch investigative journalism. The report claims the 3 million Epstein files released are only 2% of the total.
