The Georgiafication of justice

It's like they are telling the judge that the officer who issued the speeding ticket was caught jaywalking a week earlier, therefore our client is not guilty of going 60 in a 35 zone even though there is video showing his hot-rodding.

Tuned in to watch today's edition of the Fani Willis hearing.

So far, the Trump team is bringing a truckload of WTF. For me, speaking as a non-attorney,
NONE OF THIS MAKES ANY FUCKING SENSE!

McConnell's long tenure

established a pattern of toxicity that has become the hallmark of today's GOP. There is every reason to expect that his replacement in the leadership role will be even worse.

A matter of perception

I wouldn't last long in the Senate.

Just switched over to Cspan2, landed there just in time to hear Louisiana hayseed prototype Kennedy opining on (according to the chyron) "Gender Affirming Care". Aaack. Seriously, were I in the Senate and it came my turn to speak, I'd look him right in the eye and demand "What the fuck is wrong with you!?" Clearly, I'm not cut out for work on the Hill; but then, neither is he.

I STILL don't get it.

So, in the interest of keeping it simple, how might you explain to a fourth grader how Fani Willis' dating history has anything to do with Trump's guilt or innocence?

"service"

Talk about frustrating -- got a suspicious looking email, ostensibly from Xfinity. Attempted to use their customer "service" to chat about it and spent a ridiculous amount of time going around in circles. Here I am trying to alert on possible phishing, and comcast/xfinity is effectively unreachable. I do miss the days when I could make a phone call and actually talk to a person. If this is "service", then I'm Queen of the World. Ye gods.

Translation assist?

I have no gift for languages. That said, I do pay attention when we are advised to be wary of trolls from some possibly 'unfriendly' countries. So, when this shows up on a post, should I be concerned the post's origin? Or not?



Edit: Thanks, all. I wasn't able to get google translate to work, so appreciate your efforts.
Next question: Since the language is Russian, is there danger in opening the post?
