Atlanta-area prosecutors investigating efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia are in possession of text messages and emails directly connecting members of Donald Trump’s legal team to the early January 2021 voting system breach in Coffee County, sources tell CNN.

    It’s so fucking strange too. It’s like they brought this new TV and they’ll be damned if they’re going to be told it doesn’t work as well as advertised. I would think we could all unite about this, and we could show the world that not even the president can evade justice. But instead they’re still selling him hard.

    Republicans: {smacks Donald’s ass} “This baby here can fuck up at least 10 democracies.”

      A big part of many Republicans’ mindsets seem to be “how dare you tell me I’m wrong! Just for that, I’m going to double down!” Like I’ve seen it in things as petty as Republicans being told they’re using a comma the wrong way and then continuing to use it that way out of spite.

      Bit of an aside, but one the smartest things I’ve ever done was after my dad brought his new TV and had just hooked it up, I quickly used the parental controls to delete Fox News from the channel lineup while he was looking away. He never even noticed, and he’s in a much better mental state now.

        Ever hear of the documentary “The Brainwashing Of My Dad”

        It details how a sweet man became a monster when he started watching Fox, and went back to normal when the family intervened and stopped him from watching it.

        It’s a recurring thing, people become terrible when they watch Fox, they snap out of it when access to Fox is blocked.
