Meanwhile, an untold number of indigent defendants rotted away in the Fulton jail because the DA was not moving their cases along because of the Trump and YSL prosecutions, both of which ended in a fiasco.

Fani Willis has Atlantans yearning for the halcyon days of Paul Howard.
And if you can't understand the absurdity of the above statement without searching "Who is Paul Howard?" maybe sit this one out.

NEW: The prosecutor who took over the Georgia case concluded that he couldn't press forward with it. His decision to drop the charges was quickly approved by Judge McAfee, ending the last remaining criminal case Trump faced.

This is the scandal. Trump isn’t targeting dangerous people. He’s targeting peaceful immigrants. Almost exclusively.

I don't know enough to evaluate Pete Skandalakis's decision here.
But I do know enough to say that the blame for this case falling apart can be laid at the feet of Fani Willis.
If she had any honor she would have long ago resigned her position as Fulton County DA.

Differential pricing for foreign nationals isn't uncommon when visiting parks and museums abroad.
Large groups of foreign tourists put incredible pressure on the parks and their admission is subsidized by American Taxpayers.
Hope the money actually flows to the parks.

50 years ago the BBC filmed this incredible documentary about a Scotsman named Big Jim who regularly rode a bicycle 22 miles through the Highlands to visit a friend. This was his 105th trip, and he got completely blitzed along the way.

As someone who is this guy's age I can tell you 100% that if you were into Pixies, Nirvana, 120 Minutes stuff, etc. but didn't like the Beatles you had to have worked hard to contort yourself into that special little box. Your enemy, if you absolutely needed one, was hair metal. GTFO here with this.

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”
Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.
My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

The plan was leaked by the Russians and no one in America’s historically inept administration knew what anyone else was doing so people started getting behind it because they thought it was official policy.
