Fani Willis is my heroine. Now that President Biden has pardoned Hunter, the Witch hunters are shifting their attention to Ms. Willis. I have faith that she will prevail.

“The Georgia Senate, hot as a bunch of little boiled peanuts…”

Ahem. Boiled peanuts, which should be green unless it’s the off-season - when grown-ass peanuts are better than no peanuts - are best served cold. Do not @ me. I know how to boil a peanut. I know how to eat a boiled peanut, which is after it has chilled in a ziplock bag in the fridge. I know not to put the empty shells back in the bag, but sometimes I do it anyway.

McBurney slipped up with this one. At least, from him, it was a rare slip. I hope he handles the follow-up as judiciously as the many other matters he has dealt with in recent years.

Well played, Marcie.

And the line about "That is like a skunk telling a possum his breath stinks." cracked me up.

20 years living in the South and I learn something new every day. Have a nice weekend, y'all

I’m thinking Judicial watch was the no-brainchild of Larry Klayman, the Clinton impeachment asshole who sued his own mother. Not sure how Fitton wound up at the wheel. Klayman, for all his myriad faults, was at least a member of the bar.

That may be the best use of "I'm just a country lawyer ' in this nation's history.

It's sweet the way Sir can't figure out that all these persecutions keep happening to Sir because Sir is the crime boss bad guy who keeps doing crime and what could that mean?

The thing about The Devil Went Down to Georgia is that it totally misrepresents what happened. Johnny lost the bet the minute he took it; Pride is a deadly sin, and what is more prideful than thinking you can win a wager with the Devil? He forfeited his soul right there. So Satan, knowing he's already got what he came for, figures, what the Hell, let's humor the rube. So he tosses off his solo with 3/4 effort--it's still the most interesting thing on the record, but he lets Johnny go all pyrotechnic and think he's won some big prize. Meanwhile, the Devil's thinking, Here you go, Pal, take this golden trinket that isn't even a viable musical instrument, I'll see you again in Hell.

I mean, who is the singer of the song? A guy named Charlie. Yeah, Old Charlie, I know who Old Charlie is. The unreliable narrator strikes again.

Good points.

As I recall, the devil challenged the ol’ Prince of Peace to a little wager, too, and Jesus was all, “Pfft! Talk to the hole in the hand.”

But Big Sky Daddy, Book of Job? TOTALLY suckered into a bet!

I used to follow a musician on youtube who played with Daniels back in the day and he said he never saw him smile unless he was onstage, and everyone knew you didn't speak to him unless he spoke first.

It's such a lame song. This big buildup to the devil-beating solo and... the solo isn't very impressive at all.

"Never mind that Jordan, being a US congressman from Not Georgia, had no business whatsoever getting involved with a state prosecution at all, or demanding shit from a state prosecutor."

I mean, you would think if Jim "Ol' Possum Breath" Jordan was serious about state prosecutions, he would be subpoenaing all the documents regarding investigation into the sexual abuse of wrestlers at THE Ohio State University.

I've been a vocal critic of Twitter/Xitter since its inception, nothing to do with the politics of it, I just really don't like the format. I won't join BlueSky or Threads for the same reason.

Some Black lady needs to be reminded of exactly who is in charge here. It sure as hell ain't Black ladies. How dare she talk back to Gym Jordan, a gerrymandered hack. How dare she prosecute her betters. This is the South, and you will be punished. We will ruin your life as easily as we ruined Ruby Freemans and her daughter's life. Because nobody cares about Black ladies.

If I'm Fani Willis, I'm moving to France. This sickens me.

Go listen to some MLK speeches.

Back then, if I'd told people that there would be a black President within their lifetimes I'm not sure they would have believed me.

Never back down, never surrender. Because when we fight we win.

This was once a country where neither women nor people of color could vote. There's more work to do, but it can be done.
