Ossoff has been cooking lately
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."

At some point we will have a functioning democracy & rule-of-law again, and Trump's crimes will be detailed and they are horrific: direct & indirect death & suffering, sexual abuse, $10+ billion from pardons & crypto schemes & selling foreign-policy. Yet so many Elite choose to collaborate with him.

RIP Dr. Linda Davis. She was killed when ICE caused a high speed chase that resulted in the crash that ended her life.
This is one difference between police tactics and ICE tactics: cops looked at the data, and determined that high speed chases are just not worth it for non-violent offenses.

![“Last week, President Zelenskyy said that an aide to Putin is sort of talking with Witkoff in private about up to 12 trillion dollars somehow in economic and business agreements between the US and Russia. “
“Richard [Haas] just pointed out to me that the entire Russian economy is 2 trillion,” he elaborated. “So, how it grows by four or five times between now and then is unclear. But essentially, there's been great reporting also by the Wall Street Journal about family business deals being made in the Middle East and also, you know, the pursuit of that specifically by Witkoff for business deals in Russia.”
