It took Scott Adams 2 1/2 years to come up with this bullshit story.
There’s not a lawyer in the world who could make that phone call into anything other than an attempt to coerce Brad Raffensperger to hand him the election.
Saw that RC... bit concerned he's been on the bench less than a year, it's an awfully complex case for a newbie. But his life experience as a prosecutor and inspector general (assistant United States attorney in the Northern District of Georgia and as senior assistant district attorney in the Fulton County Atlanta Judicial Circuit). He certainly seems more qualified than Loose Cannon.
It's also important that GA leadership (Kemp appointed him) won't be trying to hobble him. Kemp was pretty bold putting out that tweet yesterday that the GA election was NOT STOLEN. After all T**** put them through, even the screaming and seething of MAGAts to remove Wiliis (which went into effect recently) fell on deaf government ears. Good.
One other point: Media is starting to speculate on what the impact will be on the 2024 election when GA voters are hearing every day about the criminal enterprise. They'll be bombarded with it. Will that make Republicans tune out the election (again)? Will it fire up Democrats mad that they tried to get away with it? 2024 is going to run through GA again and this could kick the state back into the D column. (By the way, have I mentioned Democrats are going to win the 2024 election? )

Oh, Donny Boy, the cops, the cops are calling
From Glenn to Ben, the hosts all step aside,
Ms. Sander's gone, and all the polls are falling,
It's you, it's you must go and they will hide.
But harken back to the claims of Mark Meadows,
Or when the witness hushed, said “I don’t know,”
But now it’s out in sunshine, no more shadows,
Oh, Donny Boy, oh Donny Boy, I love it so!
Grand juries done, and allegations are flying,
Your hopes are dead, as dead they well may be,
We’re done with your excuses and your lying,
None kneel and say an Ave there for thee;
Now strike the flag imploring “Tread not on me,”
And Biden’s win will warmer, sweeter be,
Four indictments and convictions I foresee,
And I shall sleep in peace until they come for thee!
And I shall sleep in peace until they come for thee!
Come for thee!

Mark Levin is at it again. But really, he was more fun during Indicated #3. There's some screaming and coughing. And tonight he's disagreeing with Turley about whether T***** can pardon himself, even in a state case, if re-elected. Even without the Supremacy Clause. He admits he's pulling this out of his ample ass.
But -- You know what helps him sleep well at night? Because he's learning more about buying Gold -- and so can you. (Note: it seems that many of these hosts have folks text the same number, but the companies have different *names*. Woo).

Trump prosecutor Fani Willis faces racist abuse after indicting ex-US president Georgia prosecutor subjected to flurry of threats after Trump makes thinly veiled reference to N-word after latest charges

Fani Willis, the Fulton county district attorney in Georgia who is prosecuting Donald Trump and 18 other allies over efforts to overturn the 2020 election, is facing a flurry of racist online abuse after the former president attacked his opponents using the word “riggers”, a thinly veiled play on the N-word.
Hours after Willis had released the indictments on Monday night, Trump went on his social media platform Truth Social calling for all charges to be dropped and predicting he would exonerated. He did not mention Willis by name, but accused prosecutors of pursuing the wrong criminal targets.

“They never went after those that Rigged the Election,” Trump wrote. “They only went after those that fought to find the RIGGERS!”
Willis is African American. So too are the two New York-based prosecutors who have investigated Trump, the Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg who indicted him in April over alleged hush-money payments, and Letitia James, the state attorney general who is investigating Trump’s financial records.
Trump’s allusion to the racial slur was immediately picked up by his supporters on far-right platforms including Gab and Patriots.win. The sites hosted hundreds of posts featuring “riggers” in their headlines in a disparaging context.
The word has also been attached to numerous social media posts to Ruby Freeman and her daughter Shaye Moss. The two Black poll workers from Atlanta were falsely accused by some of the 19 defendants in the Fulton county case of committing election fraud during the 2020 vote count, and the indictment accuses Trump allies of harassing them.

A man should do what he does best.
Without any hint of respect, it amazes me how Trump has such a hold on a nation and many of its voters, especially if one includes both pro and anti sentiments.
He does bad things for bad reasons. I wonder if an alternative reality could have a twin doing good things for good reasons? Y'know, like that Obama guy, but with more orange, ridiculous ties and stupid hair?

You've hit on the question that historians will be discussing for decades and more. Is it because he was a TV star and pop icon that made him familiar? Did he tap into an anger that boiled over as social media rose and shared experiences on network television decreased?
In 2016, after 8 years of President Obama, the pendulum swung as it often does... from an intellectual, policy wonk back to a blowhard racist giving life to a frightened group who saw the demographic handwriting on the wall. They were like, let's give this a shot. And most (not in the cult) did not like it. Now four years will have elapsed. Will a majority of voters want that again? I'm willing to bet no they will not. His time has passed. He still has his MAGA base, but that's (even polling shows) only about 50% of Republicans, which is half of the 1/3 of voters who ID GOP. They scream like they're a majority, but once again, when the general election happens, reality will hit. But we need to get him to the general to find out.

I keep telling myself, and anyone else who will listen, that I can't imagine that Trump will GAIN votes that he didn't get in 2020. Who would now, after all that has happened, be persuaded that Trump is the person that we need as President? I think he'll retain the votes of the MAGA cult but that's all.

Maybe Dennis Montgomery finally came through with that PCAP data? I am with you on the when hell freezes over side.
I guess it comes down to whatever Tom Fitton tells him to do because.... https://abcnews.go.com/US/trumps-legal- ... =102336380 Trump's legal advisers urge him to cancel press conference to refute Georgia allegations: Sources
Former President Donald Trump's promised press conference to refute the allegations in the indictment handed up by the Fulton County District Attorney's Office is now very much in doubt, multiple sources familiar with the matter tell ABC News.
Sources tell ABC News that Trump's legal advisers have told him that holding such a press conference with dubious claims of voter fraud will only complicate his legal problems and some of his attorneys have advised him to cancel it.
Trump announced the planned press conference with a social media post shortly after he and 18 co-defendants were indicted late Monday in Georgia. He said he would present, "A Large, Complex, Detailed but Irrefutable REPORT on the Presidential Election Fraud which took place in Georgia."

I've thought the same thing, I was just afraid to say it out loud.
