“When the burdens of the presidency seem unusually heavy, I always remind myself it could be worse. I could be a mayor.”

…and then there were five?
Will Arizona be the next state to indict former president Donald (J.ezebel) Trump?
I think he and any others responsible should be indicted for any crimes the evidence shows were committed. If we as a nation are to retain fidelity to the rule of law, it's a must.
The Arizona GOPer rule of law involves bulk discount incentives? “Instigate indictable crimes in four cases and we’ll give you your fifth for free!” . . . ??
Maybe that’s the kind of thing GOPer states will have to do these days to stay competitive with Florida and Texas for monied Republican criminals?
According to an old slogan, with six you get egg roll.
It looks like Trump is not being currently targeted by the Arizona A.G. The A.G. is going after fake electors. But still more fuel to the pushback against the MAGA Boogaloos.
Folks are the far-right are attempting to dox Georgia grand jurors that suggested charges against Trump and one far-right woman from Texas is being charged with threatening federal Judge Tanya Chutkan, who is overseeing the federal trial against Trump for attempting to overturn the 2020 election.
The worst part? I'm not surprised even a little bit.
Much like our local Aurora Target blackface women:

There are three "issues" that mentally ill Republicans are animated by: Race, LGBTQIA2S, future stuff (EVs, meat alternatives, ect). If you hear your friends or family talking about these things put distance between you.
After 2020 we were all told to be nice to the Q people, that they were people too. We shouldn't push them away because then they might not be able to come back at all. That advice was wrong we need to mock and alienate these people. Narrow their only exit to mental health professionals.
Our governor begs to differ. We merely need to "disagree better" with those in our country and personal lives bent on our destruction.
He's not alone and it is the PC answer that is soundbite palatable.
I don't think it's up to politicians. It's up to us and the media. Further there needs to be a concerted effort to link mental illness to moral panic.
Take for example the recent North Carolina "anti-trans kids playing sports" law. There are less than 10 trans kids who have played sports in NC in the past two years. This should be brought up over and over. The only thing this law does is stop a few trans kids from participating in sports. The only explanation for that much effort for less than 10 kids is mental illness.
Racism, anti-LGBTQIA2S, anger at future stuff…
NC legislature also overrode a veto of the ban on medical care for minors.
Gonna be interesting to see how the ban on transgender girls & women (and not on transgender boys & men) survives a federal challenge.
I doubt that it will. In the mean time it will be cruel to those children and their families. There is no logical or conservative reasoning only madness.
"LGBTQIA2S"
What does the "2S" stand for?
Two spirit.
Ah, thanks! I should have known that.
