If you want a new school, that’s provincial. If you are unhappy with garbage collection, that’s the city. If you want to know why there is evil in the world, that falls under the jurisdiction of God. Address those with the Void. @steveburgess53.bsky.social advises. 🗳️🌌 #bcpoli #vanpoli

If you want to really know how the outrage machine gets fired up: 1. Schmitt plans to drop “bombshell” on Smith 2. Someone plants story that Schmitt is a Vance VP contender to run same day 3. Right-wing Twittersphere gets talking points 4. Schmitt steps in it 5. Scheduled tweets go out anyway

🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong. Here's the whole sequence:

A New Yorker column quotes a disillusioned Trump die-hard as saying: “I feel like I was sold a bill of goods.” Apparently that "bill of goods" included Capitol Hill mobs, sex crimes, and stories about Black people eating pets. The poor fellow certainly didn't vote for high gas prices.
