This was the biggest local news (around local politics anyway) after Gov Kemp’s speech… Here is WABE’s coverage…

I’m not surprised at what district he represents, which is the far north corner of GA right to the line with both AL and TN… a deeply, deeply red portion of the state.

I especially like the part where the old guy pushed him to the floor when he tried to push past him.

The troopers just stood there and did nothing till later.

Yeah, I’m sure they were told to let the door guy try to resolve things. I’m sure that’s not how they wanted to start the session… but these MAGA types can’t help themselves… It’s all about the clicks for them, drawing as much attention to themselves so that they can pretend they are being persecuted by the EsTabLIZHM3nT… Smash that like button and don’t forget to subscribe!!!

I tell ya, we got some tough old guys down here in GA… Young guys like that think they can take them, but… nah.

That guy has the shoulders of a trout. He’s not taking anyone. Sure he’s on the tall side. But that ain’t gonna save him.

Holy shit, that is disgusting! Two possibilities come to mind: Either the restaurant in question has enemies trying to shut it down, or (and after reading the complete article, I lean this way) the owners are racist pieces of shit. Cannot say I understand, I do assume the owners of an Ethiopean restaurant would be Black, but that does not rule out racism. I have seen, especially in fairly recent immigrants, a willingness to adopt the “majority” view that American Black folks are lazy, dumb, etc, etc. But whatever, this is unspeakably vile. I wish they had not posted the pic of the flyer. The description was bad enough.

I wish I could say differently, but I remember an African (second generation) neighbor speaking badly about Caribbean immigrants… as always it’s divide and conquer.

In other words, he’s the perfect example of the MAGA man… :rage:

He didn’t take advantage of her. He raped her. He got her so drunk she needed a wheelchair to get back to the hotel room. Then he raped her.
I hate it when people use the phrase " take advantage of her" when what happened was rape. She wasn’t overcharged for a coffee or scammed on rooftop solar.

Edit: this isn’t directed @KathyPartdeux. I just really hate the way that phrase is used

“To Catch a Predator” TikTok trend?

The victim, an active-duty military member who was in town for a funeral, believed he was meeting an 18-year-old woman at the Worcester campus.

That’s not illegal.

Echoes of the Nixon campaign’s sabotage of Paris Peace talks, and the Reagan campaign urging the Iranian’s to not release their hostages, in both cases to win presidential elections.

I couldn’t find any images of his campaign signs or other such information, but I’m going to guess he ran on a “family values” and “good Christian” type of platform.

Nothing here either. Maybe because of the particular questions thrown at him?

Do these people even hear themselves? Medicalized mental illness? Getting drugs from schools? As for extra time on tests, who the fuck cares? I have insight into something: you’re an asshole, Andreessen!
