Gov. Kemp Soundly Rejects MAGA Legislator's Push to Oust Fani Willis in Fiery Presser: 'We Will Not Be Engaging in Political Theater'

Gov. Kemp Soundly Rejects MAGA Legislator's Push to Oust Fani Willis in Fiery Presser: 'We Will Not Be Engaging in Political Theater'

During what was called a “remarkable press conference” by local reporters, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) slapped down any suggestion of holding a special legislative session to oust District Attorney Fani Willis, as proposed by right-wing state Senator Colton Moore.

The bottom line is that in the state of Georgia, as long as I'm governor, we're going to follow the law and the Constitution. - Gov. Brian Kemp

The World Is A Safer Place Without Republicans

• Proud Boy Joe Biggs gets 17 years in prison, 2nd-longest Jan. 6 sentence
• Trump Pleads Not Guilty in Georgia, Waives Arraignment
• Raskin Officially Asks House Republicans to Subpoena Jared Kushner's Advisory Firm For Saudi Investment Docs
• Trump dismissive as New York attorney general accuses him of inflating his net worth by $2 billion
• Ramaswamy Pledges To Give Russia All Territory It’s Taken From Ukraine and Claims the U.S. Bombed the Nord Stream Pipelines

TRUMP:  “How could he break into my Twitter account…what could be possibly find out?”

JACK SMITH:  I’ll tell you…in March.

Alabama AG Is Gonna Make A Bunch of Enemies
Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall (R) argued in a court filing Wednesday that he can file criminal charges against people who assist those getting abortion care outside the state.

I despise the man, but the fact that the Republican Party will continue to put Mitch McConnell out there day after day when he’s so clearly not well is reprehensible and extremely on brand for them at the same time. - JoJoFromJerz

Republican Shenanigans

• McConnell ‘medically clear,’ says Capitol doctor 
• Karl Rove Absolutely Nukes Vivek Ramaswamy in Scorching WSJ Op-Ed: 'Glib, Shallow, Overbearing, Smooth-Talking Biotech Entrepreneur'
• Trump Lashes Out At DeSantis as He Manages Hurricane: ‘What a Shame for Florida!’
• 'You Loot, We Shoot': Ron DeSantis Issues Warning to 'Potential Looters' Following Hurricane
• MAGA Guest Tells Fox News, 'Mitch Is Very Much Expendable' Hours After McConnell Freezes Up
• Geraldo Rivera: Trump ‘made me dump him’

Shrewd stock promoter that he is, Vivek Ramaswamy surveyed the political marketplace and thought: "I wonder if Donald Trump's mistake here was actually *under-estimating* the ignorance and gullibility of the Republican primary electorate?" - David Frum

Is Clarence Thomas Getting Nervous About His Uncovered Freebies?
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has released his first financial disclosure form since his friendship with Harlan Crow was thrown into the national spotlight. The form shows at least three new instances of Thomas receiving generosities from the Republican megadonor who appears to have been his benefactor the last few years.

I say we start a Go Fund Me and buy Clarence Thomas back. - Liam Nissan

It cracks me up that republicans think we’re trying to prevent trump from being the nominee. 

Like, no. By all means. Please pick the loseriest loser in all of politics! I’d love nothing more than to hand him his ass again. -  MuellerSheWrote

Fetterman Praises Biden On Marijuana Decision

Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) praised President Biden and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) on Thursday after the department sent its recommendation to reschedule marijuana to the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), a key step in reducing federal regulations on the drug.

Biden asked the HHS to look into rescheduling last year, and the department’s recommendation now goes to the DEA, which has final say.

I think it’d be cruel and unusual to put Donald Trump in jail.

Imagine those poor inmates who have to listen to his whining 24x7? - Captain Obvious

Biden Has Been Busy, First Marijuana, Now Guns

The Biden administration Thursday announced a new proposed rule to clarify the definition of being “engaged in the business” of dealing in firearms. 

The Justice Department’s rule would clarify who is engaged and thus is required to be a licensed firearms dealer and run background checks. It outlines what criteria people would have to meet, such as offering for sale any number of firearms and repetitively offering for sale multiple firearms of the same mark or model, or firearms that are in their original packaging.

Great news: Judge Scott McAfee who is presiding over Donald Trump & his 18 co-defendants’ trial just announced there WILL be a YouTube live stream for ALL the hearings & trials related to the Trump case in Georgia. Transparency matters. This is exactly how it should be. Bravo. - Victor Shi
