Fani, Nathan, Marge & "the Mikes" make my naughty list

Whelp; the Georgia 2020 election interference case is effectively gummed up, thanks to the unforced error thrust upon the Fulton district attorney's office by the intimacy between Fani Willis and Nathan Wade. While there's no point blowing off steam over it, I kinda do; I also go over the potential ramifications. Also, why is Wade talking to the media? Dude!

Also why is Stormy Daniels' even testifying about the lurid details of her rendezvous with Donald? It's kinda hard not to see how her "going too far" recollection can taint a jury - which is all Trump's lawyers need to have appeal fodder. Because, you know, they're definitely gonna try and drag that out, too. Beyond frustrating.

Meanwhile, Rep. Mike Collins not only shared the infamous Ole Miss racist frat boy clip, he endorsed it before being pummeled for doing so. So he released a ham-handed statement denouncing racism but never deleted the retweet. Because screw what he's saying; it's what he's doing that matters when defining who he is. Oh, and he also posted something derogatory about Kennedy's and holes in brains. Repulsive.

MTG failed, and Mike Johnson took his victory lap; he also spoke of conservative principles and I can't help but notice one of them wasn't "democracy." That's no accident: Republicans are looking to eradicate democracy from the political lexicon here. Don't believe me? Just listen.

Maureen Downey wrote a salient op-ed piece in the AJC noting the hypocrisy of colleges & universities seeking student who set out to "change the world," but "not on our quad, please!"
