Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis reaffirmed in a local news interview that she will announce charging decisions by September 1 in her investigation into efforts by Donald Trump and his allies to overturn Georgia’s 2020 presidential election result, while applauding the ramped-up security measures around the local courthouse.

      he already did that, probably at least 1/3rd of the country got fully brainwashed by him lying to them constantly with his insane conspiracy BS, and the only way out of cults as we all know is the all the followers to finally drink the koolaide, which is still coming

        Which, for those who aren’t aware, is quite a bit higher than the percentage of Germans who supported the NAZIs before WWII. Don’t assume that just because they aren’t a majority that we aren’t still in extreme danger.

    Reminder that Steve Bannon frankly confessed Trump’s Start the Steal conspiracy plans to a group of Trump insiders before the election.

    https://www.npr.org/2022/07/22/1112138665/jan-6-committee-hearing-transcript

    …audio from Trump advisor, Steve Bannon, surfaced from October 31st, 2020, just a few days before the Presidential election.

    Let’s listen. [Begin Videotape]

    STEVE BANNON: And what Trump’s going to do is declare victory, right? He’s going to declare victory, but that doesn’t mean he’s a winner. He’s just gonna say he’s a winner. The Democrats — more of our people vote early that count. Theirs vote in mail. And so they’re going to have a natural disadvantage and Trump’s going to take advantage — that’s our strategy.

    He’s gonna declare himself a winner. So when you wake up Wednesday morning, it’s going to be a firestorm. Also — also if Trump is — if Trump is losing by 10 or 11:00 at night, it’s going to be even crazier. Because he’s gonna sit right there and say they stole it. If Biden’s wining, Trump is going to do some crazy shit.

      I believe Roger Stone did this too!

      In the video clip dated November 1, Stone can be seen speaking to two men at an unspecified location, saying he hoped they would be “celebrating” after the votes were in.

      “I really do suspect it’ll still be up in the air. But when that happens the key thing to do is to claim victory,” Stone said. “Possession is nine-tenths of the law — no, we won, fuck you. Sorry, over, we won, you’re wrong, fuck you.”

    To all the astronomers out there. If you happen to notice a shift in earth’s orbit around the sun please do not be alarmed. It’s only me and my massive justice boner on the Western hemisphere. It should go away in a few hours.

    Kind of a weird statement right? If you’re ready, proceed. If you’re not ready yet, don’t say anything.

      Willis’ latest commitment to that time frame comes after a judge scheduled an August 10 hearing on the Trump team’s efforts to disqualify Willis, a Democrat, from the case, toss much of the evidence she has collected and remove another judge in Fulton County from presiding over the case.

      Its because timing is contingent on the court process.

    Get in line.

    Trump’s court dance card is getting pretty dang full this summer/fall.
