Material concerns are, however, a really good smokescreen cover for more publicly unpalatable or unacceptable beliefs. They're also a really good way to attract people who might not initially share your awful beliefs to give you a hearing.

eta: and not for the first time; when she ran for d.a. she said in a televised interview that it was wrong for a boss to sleep with people that worked for them, and she swore she'd never do that.

thats such a weirdly specific thing to promise especially when she still fails to uphold it somehow

I was wondering why discussion over breakfast today was that Trump is badly suffering from dementia.

the response to the president being objectively unfit for office and needing removed with the 25th amendment due to extremely obvious late stage dementia is for his party to unify under the message of "I know you are but what am I?"

It's an interesting tactic since it worked on liberals immediately. Our local ones locked step behind that and started dreaming up these fanciful scenarios where the clear-but-sometimes-stupid offscript Trumprant stuff is having all of the dementia attention directed toward it and you aren't supposed to acknowledge Biden since the bar they are setting at Trump would disqualify him too if you admitted his extreme cognitive decline and sad state.

I think the guy she was running against (or who was leaving the office, or both) had been embroiled in something like that.

latest news is that wade led the hiring/firing for her office after she won. There's also another whistleblower she fired a while ago after the woman claimed she was misusing federal pandemic funds who's talking to the House committee investigating her.

I'd be surprised if she lasts the week. I read somewhere that if she takes a voluntary leave of absence then her team (including wade) can stay in place but I'm not sure if that's true; if she waits it out & is canned and/or disbarred then the case is prolly DOA, bc fulton county has the likeliest demos for a jury to find trump guilty (ie: it's black).

I feel like this whole “Dubya wasn’t so bad” narrative is being pushed by two groups of people: zoomers too young to remember the Bush years and centrists trying to extend an olive branch to Republicans. My parents are both normie Democrats and don’t despise him any less. My mom got mad just the other day when I told her Bush’s accent and choice of words was partially an act put on to make him appear more relatable and not an over educated Yalie snob, implying he’s not actually a complete idiot.

its worth remembering that one of trumps big early norm breaking moments was going out on the debate stage and literally blaming george w bush for 9/11 which was significant in part because the lack of blowback showed that most republican voters didnt even like george w bush and that despite living for seven years under obamas rule they were actually considerably less willing to view him with rose tinted classes than if anyone had tried to make that attack in the 2008 republican primary

the libs saw all of this and concluded quite logically in their minds that clearly there must be oodles of good republicans outraged by trumps remarks whose support should be courted for the general election

Don't worry, the big brains in D&D be sure to explain that failing to overcome billions of dollars in shady money from a generationally entrenched lobbyist group just proves that the left was never that serious about their unicorn demands for "not doing genocide," and pointing out anything shady or untoward like blatant misinformation campaigns and voter suppression is just sour grapes and maybe if we really wanted the things we say we do, we should simply rewrite all of the rules to benefit us and our causes.

ah, here we go:

quote:

FULTON COUNTY, Ga. - In a swift resolution to the federal case against former Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard, a jury, comprised of 8 men and 4 women, delivered their verdict after a day and a half of testimony. Howard faced accusations of sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment.

Howard was found not guilty on Dec. 15 of the charges leveled against him by former employee Cathy Carter.

During the trial, Howard took the stand in his defense, and the defense called two witnesses: Ronnie Dixon, a former deputy district attorney in 2019, and Lenny Nelson, Howard's chief of staff at the time. Nelson testified that Carter had issues being punctual for work and was subsequently placed on administrative leave. According to Nelson, Carter was required to report and sign into her office daily at the directive of Howard. Carter's lawyers argued that this directive demonstrated an abuse of power, asserting that no one else faced such requirements.

***

Howard served as district attorney for Fulton County for approximately 24 years.

Willis won the dem primary against him & ran unopposed in the general. That was in 2020, so she's up for reelection this year.

Like you said, it's uncanny that it worked immediately and they're unified in perfect lockstep. I think that post about Trump's dementia was the top trending on reddit today.

The siloed-media/echo-chambers thing was the best thing to happen to (or designed by) capital.

And this is exactly why I don't want to hear about the necessity of "deplatforming" odious ideas & people, bc it shuts out as many voices/ideas/events coverage of the left as it does of the right, thereby leaving libs to occupy the furthest-left allowable discourse space.
