Georgia Senators Try To Bury RICO Case

-

David Shafer, Georgia Republican Party Chair and Senate member.

Below is old post 25 August 2023, about what Georgia genius Republicans are capable of doing.

Georgia might abolish the office of the Fulton County District Attorney (DA) whether Trump + 18 are found guilty or not. That is how Georgia Republicans do it. They remove ‘problems’ because they are in charge. They control both the House and the Senate. The current ‘problem’ is Fani Willis, the Fulton County DA, for indicting Donald Trump + 18 for trying to overturn the 2020 election.

That is ridiculous. They cannot do that. It is in the Constitution. They cannot erase the DA’s Office just like that. District Attorneys are custodians of state law. A crime has been committed, they step in to find the needle in the haystack. That’s the point right there. Trump is a whole haystack and Republicans believe he did not commit a crime. That is why Georgia was the first state to enact voter suppression laws which resulted in an avalanche of such laws, in 19 states. For example, like Arizona, Arkansas, Utah.

Georgia is notorious for ‘doing it my way.’ Example. 6 December 2022, Senate Run Off Election.

The more Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger tightened the screws of the right to vote, the more Georgians waited patiently to vote. Then came Thanksgiving, an American holiday. He wanted to put in another screw. He said state laws do not allow early voting on the Saturday, following Thanksgiving.

1. Ralph Warnock and Georgia Democrats took the matter to court. Fulton County judge ruled that early voting must happen.

2. State of Georgia appealed.

3. Appeals Court Judge upheld Fulton County ruling that there will be early voting on Saturday following the Thanksgiving holiday.

That’s why I maintain Georgia will try to dismantle the Fulton County DA’s office constitutionally or using state laws.

Elections And Political Bullies

Forget democracy.   It should be called political bullying. We are watching it in the prelude to the Canadian election on the 19 th of October, 2015.   Americans have also started their political bullying for the looming presidential election next year. So many trees wasted on books about democracy.   Some countries have big budgets for invading other countries ‘ to defend democracy’ but it is seldom practised in campaigning for elections.   Calling opponents names and printing flyers attacking each other is behaviour that will not be tolerated in kindergarten, but it is all legal, in campaigning.   It is irritating and such a let-down to the whole notion of democracy.   Grown-up men and women behaving like Grade One kids. It is also misleading because many voters believe it is real hatred.   Don’t let that fool you.   These politicians play golf together, attend the same dinner parties, eat and drink at the same social events, share jokes and cut deals in parliament.   They

Comfort Food As Regret Food

-

Chicken curry. Comfort food is good for the soul, which usually bleeds in winter from icy roads, bad drivers that want to annihilate pedestrians, frozen fingers and toes that take a sabbatical.   What happened to my toes?   I thought I was wearing special socks for boots? We therefore have a right to comfort food which throws doctors’ orders out of the window and has no loyalty to calories.   No calculator on the table, thanks very much.   Piece of bread 5 calories, half a banana 10 calories, sugar-free cheesecake 2,000 calories.   Ah! Ah!  We only live once. Naw!   Comfort food is old school food with its compulsory second helping.   It involves licking fingers and giving a big sigh, about the good life, which is shelter, food, love and debt.   The problem is the zip.   The jeans remind you that comfort food can also be called you will regret food .   Home sweet home is even sweeter in winter after surviving blowing snow and bumper to bumper traffic. What is more welcoming th

Internet Manners

The internet and mama have something in common: manners.   They believe that always say Hi! To people you meet. Home is where the heart is, but it is rough being at home these digital days.   People are so tied up in chat rooms, Instagram, Twitter, FB, YouTube or Google mania, they don’t have a minute to say hi or good night to people they share a toilet or kitchen with. Thank god for internet players.   They say hi to me when I re-open a document after a thirty minutes’ break.   It’s all automated, but it is nice when the computer calls me by my name and encourages me to continue, where I left off. The internet understands that greetings are the definitive ice breaker, before saying mum, I’m hungry or dad, can I have the car keys? Facebook has taken it to the next level because it understands that I live in a strange province where the weather is a headline story, and not what Prime Minister Justin Trudeau thinks about the Keystone Pipeline, so Facebook reminds me of temperatu
