Nice try at deflecting. But it's odd you claim never to have contacted the Georgia prosecutors, yet I have many posts proving you work for a magazine called "The Atlanta." I'll give you time to formulate an answer while I sit back smugly and--what's that? No, I've never been a good reader. Why?

A little while ago, my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the weeks dragged on, they became extremely worried. My dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up in some of art and music's most iconic scenes.

But then they say, what else might we learn from that? And they show that this change is particularly pronounced in the South, where people think a post-Callais surge may lead to surprising outcomes. GOP has already given up on GA and NC Sen. But could other states flip? bsky.app/profile/donn...

Why aren't newspapers - even the supposedly conscientious, well-meaning one - encouraging people to see this? It's absolutely vital. Stop giving Farage and other hateful trolls space on your pages. Write about something positive. Use the small influence you still have and be part of the change.

Thanks to Trump and the GOP, Diesel is at$6.50 a gallon. And regular gas is now up 70% since Trump's war began--from $3.20 to $4.49. Has your wages gone up 70% to cover that? Nope. But you know who is richer? Trump's Big Oil oligarchs who funded his campaign. It's the Golden Age for them!

The point Nichols was making is that in this matter, the only issue is a national election of removing Republicans from power. If you believe that another candidate has a higher chance of winning in Arizona, then work for that candidate. But in this election, winning is everything.
