If you’re wondering how the FBI could do this given that the general federal statute of limitations is five years: the search warrant references a statute, 52 USC 20701, that requires certain election records to be retained for 22 months. uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?r...

The Georgia Supreme Court is completely conservative, yet today, they unanimously recommended the State Bar disbar a lawyer who participated in the January 6th insurrection. They were notably unimpressed by Trump’s pardon. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

Georgia high court wants tougher discipline for lawyer who took part in Jan. 6

The Georgia Supreme Court said attorney William McCall Calhoun — who participated in the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot — should be disbarred.

Every time Trump breaks the clear letter of the law, the NYT and WaPo write a story about how he’s “pushing boundaries” or “testing the limits of his authority” He's not Chuck Yeager, guys. He's a crook.

How sad is this? The CDC closed its FOIA office, so this story could only be published because a Danish journalist provided Rolling Stone with the documents, after obtaining them through a freedom of information request to the University of Southern Denmark www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Blueskis, studies have shown that when folks see or hear about a book more than five times, they are likely to check it out, and buy it. So in the spirit of creating buzz, here is the gorgeous cover of THE WESTERNERS, which will be published on March 31!

Three women on a raft move across a body of water in front of green, yellow, and brown mountains; white text announces the title of the book: THE WESTERNERS: MYTHMAKING AND BELONGING ON THE AMERICAN FRONTIER; a narrow strip at left bears four images: Jim Beckwourth, Sacajawea, Ovando Hollister, and Polly Bemis.

This cycle is unnecessary and exhausting. I want future generations to check the Broligarchs before they do another smash and grab by using this group that can’t evolve on their own.

I don’t like comparisons with Nazi Germany, but I am going to suggest that the denazification program was very successful. We should absolutely do something akin to that, and if we can’t manage it, we should allow an international group to come in and take the process over.

Eventually there will be Broligarchs of the future, who will start claiming some out group is the problem, even though the Broligarchs are causing the issue to enrich themselves. Those kids who thought the old people were crazy will start to think, “huh, maybe they were right…”

But they’ll teach their children that people who aren’t like them are “less than,” the dregs of society, never with one ounce of self-awareness that they are the actual dregs of society. The kids will think their elders are crazy. But the words will internalize.

These people never learn a damn thing ever, and that’s our fault. What’s going to happen again if we let it, is that we are going to get past this, build a better world, and these people are going to slink into the shadows. They’ll quietly benefit from the progress. We’ll assume they’ve evolved.

They also have other common traits: 1. Once they complete their education at whatever level, they don’t pursue lifelong learning at all. 2. Many, if not most, identify as Evangelicals. And if history didn’t slam me in the face with it (and it had), then dreaming about the future MAGA did:

Seeing these folks appear over and over throughout Georgia’s history, it is ALWAYS the same group that isn’t falling through the cracks but still feels a pinch with economic downturn and increased inequality because they’re pushed downward, and they’re terrified of falling to the bottom rung.

Before anyone comes for me, Carter got the racists in 1970 by promising to let George Wallace address the Georgia General Assembly. He was the same Jimmy y’all know and love, but he knew he had to make a concession to win, so he did, and the racists ate it up.

As I draw the line from deference to Wool Hat to other Wool Hat to MAGA, I can assume these were also Jacksonians in the early 1800s and likely Carter and Maddox voters by the 1970s.

Reading about early Georgia, I see them in the men who “deferred” to the “men of the Revolution.” Mostly small farmers, but with some land. A few sharecroppers, but most were above that station.

I’m shocked - shocked, I tell you - that refusing FBI criminal background checks likely resulted in… criminals in the administration. To be fair, that was also the entire point - there were several Trump appointees who wouldn’t have passed an FBI background check.

The funniest part is that the whole point of funding the crusades was to send your potential sources of domestic political instability (loud, violent lunatics) off on a mission where, worst case scenario, they were out of your hair for several years or, best case scenario, they died.
