At least now we know why Graham was so unwilling to testify. He knew this was beyond just dirty politics, and his ass was neck deep in the field of shit being farted out by Team Trump-Up-Votes.
As much as I want justice, I’m honestly just glad this information is getting out there, getting reported on, even as hobbled as our media can be. It may be that too large a percentage of our population is immune to the truth…but I do hope it’s still around the Crazification Factor level when it comes to shit like this

Political Wire has a good round up of initial media reactions:
“Donald Trump was indicted by a Fulton County grand jury — along with 18 others — and charged with conspiring to overturn the results of the 2020 election in Georgia.”
“Key line from the 98-page indictment: “Trump and the other defendants charged in this indictment refused to accept that Trump lost, and they knowingly and willfully joined a conspiracy to unlawfully change the outcome of the election in favor of Trump.””
“Trump faces 13 felony charges himself, including racketeering, conspiracy to commit forgery and filing false documents.”
“It appears there are also 30 unindicted co-conspirators.”
”Atlanta Journal Constitution: “The Georgia case is unique because in addition to Trump, it also charges a cast of supporting players— from former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani to then White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and former Georgia Republican Party Chairman David Shafer.””
”New York Times: “Prosecutors describe the ‘criminal enterprise’ as one that operated not only in Fulton County, Ga., but also in other states, including Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, and in the District of Columbia. This underscores the power of a racketeering charge: Ms. Willis did not have to show that all of the acts took place in her jurisdiction.””
Goku (aka Amerikan Baka)
I have to wonder if Trump will shell out money to defend the other 18 individuals like he has in the documents case. This will have to seriously drain his resources

Jerzy Russian
@Omnes Omnibus: In a set with a finite number of elements, there has to be an element that is the most extreme, like the largest, the smallest, etc. Normally, in a set with two people, there has to be a stupider one. However, in the case of Don Jr. and Eric, that is not true, since they are both stupider. Mathematicians will have to develop another branch of set theory, which should keep them busy (and employed) for quite some time
ETA: If stupidity is quantized (think integers), then I suppose two people can be equally stupid. However, stupidity is a continuum (think real numbers), in which case the odds of two people being equally stupid become vanishingly small.

Can somebody lawsplain the 161 Acts? Each one ends with a little ritualistic phrase about “this was an overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy”.

Could Trump have the trial successfully moved to federal court due to the “under color of office” federal statute since Trump was still president at the time? I might be getting some of the details wrong, but a talking head on CNN was arguing this

For instance, driving a car is not a crime. Watching a street in front of a bank is no crime either.

so… the snapshot consensus seems to be that they expect the small fry to roll over and plead and vie to give testimony for reduced sentences to pile on to the bigger fish.
my question now pivots to do other states follow the lead that we’ve seen in Michigan and Georgia and also work on the fake electors issues (Nevada, Wisconsin, New Mexico and Arizona)?
With charges now inside the 45 Administration, how long before these tendrils extend to others who aided and abetted, some of who are sitting in office right fucking now. What will it take to break this fever dream that the GOP is under to believe that they should be in charge and fuck our history and our Constitution.

Dang. Lindsey is in it up to his eyeballs:

Lindsey Graham’s campaign has spent about $1.16 million this year. One out of five dollars went to lawyers.
Since Jan. 6 [2020], Graham’s campaign has spent roughly $720,000 on legal fees. Before Jan. 6, his total combined legal costs — going back to 2011 — was about $74,000.

Not really. The total of humanity is over 7 billion members. Anyone too stupid to not understand a simple restriction on being stupid is going to be stupid about most everything. Anyone smart enough to not be too stupid about many things would fit into a rather large group. Leaving a smallish group not to be too stupid about most things. Of course there is always the issue that they may have a blind spot about some item, trait, thing, wrong thing, stupid thing. And the group not being stupid about anything seems to be a very, very small percentage of humans.

Trevian C. Kutti and associates are small fry compared to Trump, Giuliani, Eastman, etc., but deserve to be prosecuted for threatening and harassing Ruby Freeman. Kutti, who served as a publicist for Kanye West and R. Kelly, stupidly threatened Freeman and “one or more… family members” at her home and in an Atlanta police station (where the threats were captured on police body cam). They tried to coerce Freeman into confessing to bogus voter fraud allegations. Maybe we’ll get confirmation that West was behind it, or maybe Kutti was working for a different sleazebag.

Hit play, emerge twelve hours later from a deep dive into the YouTube catacombs with bad tattoos, your hair dyed orange, and a chunky best friend called Broke Pete (no one knows why).
For that was what Da Keedz called popular music back in the day. 8-)

Oh, I bet you do. Everybody knows Stacy’s Mom. Nudge Nudge, Wink Wink, etc.
Though I have to say, though it’s a – bit – shit, I think GATBGW is actually a superior bounce-along track. It’s no Gay Bar, but it’s damned catchy.

Thanks (?) to dxm at lgm for making me look (trigger warning): indicted ham sandwich.

@prostratedragon: Even that is not enough to put me off deli. I’m a New Yorker and I love it.

I’m sorry it took this long, but I think it had to take this long. Drip, drip, drip on the cult shield.
Indictment after indictment. And I hear legal experts saying this will take YEARS to sort out.
Good. Mills of the gods, people. Exceedingly fine.

@lowtechcyclist: Maybe stupidity is like string theory, where there appear to be six different theories (Type I, Type IIA, Type IIB, SO(32) heterotic, E8xE8 heterotic, and Bob), but it turns out they’re all just limiting cases of a single M-theory.
While googling for the names of the theories, I was amused to note that if you judged just by the image hits, you’d think string theory is a type of abstract art, or perhaps a screensaver.

Hey! Same here in KY y’all…

WereBear@188: Know what you mean, though I prefer pastrami or corned beef. And a bit slimmer. But those can be indicted too.

We should fly the flag today in celebration of yesterday’s many, many indictments. .

@NotMax: Lord God we have got to dramatically upgrade our FEMA and other natural disaster programs for this absolutely regular torrent of horrors we’re going through right now, you’d think Hurricane Katrina and it’s aftermath would’ve taught us all at once.

@Tony Jay: Stacy’s Mom is done by Fountains of Wayne. Both bands do a great job with following the traditions of Power Pop. Adam Schlesinger (died thanks to COVID) was the guy that Tom Hanks collaborated with to find those 60’s vibes for That Thing You Do!
other good stuff from them:

It’s true! With the partially awesome (the Rachel Hunter bits) and partially disturbing (lotta make-up on that scantily dressed tween, no?) video. I got it mixed up with the Bowling For Soup cover from 2011.

It is almost certain that Trump’s own lawyers make a plea offer to avoid prison time. Trump would flip on every one of these losers.
I just don’t think dumb dumb Trump has anything he can offer the prosecution. He didn’t know any of the details, or keep any relevant documents, or record any relevant conversations, that would help the prosecution.
