"Allowing biological males into the DAR doesn’t expand inclusion; it merely redefines the word 'daughter.'"

🚨 🚨 BRAKING 🚨 🚨
The walls are closing in
Tonight, President Trump will exercise his constitutional power to invalidate the Georgia senate election results
The reason why is clear. As President, Joel Biden appears to have overseen a scheme to install Ossoff as a senator in exchange for Ossoff voting to certify the presidential election results
The timeline doesn’t lie:

Lindsey had a series of repeatable riffs.
My fav—>
On my weekly commute from Nebr to DC, I often had one of my kids in tow. My youngest grew from age 3 to 12 over my tenure. Whenever LG would approach me at Judic or ArmedServices, he’d first pretend not to notice Breck, and just dive into his topic. But then, one sentence in, he’d interrupt himself & turn to fist-bump my kid with:
“Oh hey dude. Sorry about your social security. You’re screwed!”

On the subway to the vote, Lindsey literally struck up the conversation with "Hey Fellas. I love your hats."

I often criticized Lindsey Graham. But this weekend, I learned his full story:
- Orphaned young, he adopted & raised his little sister instead of letting her go into the system.
- Grew up dirt poor, racking balls in his parents’ pool hall.
- In search of opportunity, he joined the Air Force. Served 33 years. Retired a Colonel.
- Then spent decades in Congress, earning respect across the aisle.
- Bashed Trump hard in ~2016, then respected the will of the voters, and grew to become a loyal ally.
- Humble. Devoted to his constituents.
- Driven by patriotism (even when misguided). Never in it for the money. Could've cashed in any time like most of his colleagues.
- That Disney trip everyone mocked? Just a good uncle taking his beloved nieces. He smiled through (and ignored) the hate to protect his family.
RIP to a self-made American original.

The cops called off when she attacked them in the media.
Secoriea died.
Keisha did in fact let Atlanta burn.
Trying to memory hole what actually happened is Keisha’s only hope.

Rick Jackson and his allies keep repeating that “Keisha let Atlanta burn.” It’s a lie, and the video from 2020 proves it. When protests in Atlanta turned destructive after George Floyd’s murder, then-Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms went before the cameras and unequivocally condemned the violence. “If you care about this city, then go home,” she said. Bottoms accused the rioters of disgracing Atlanta and George Floyd’s memory. She urged people who wanted change to register and vote. She then imposed a citywide curfew. Her response was so forceful that then-Republican Congressman Doug Collins, who now serves as Donald Trump’s Secretary of Veterans Affairs, publicly echoed her message that “more violence will not heal us.” Now compare that with the man Rick Jackson hopes to impress by becoming “Trump’s favorite governor.” On the first day of his second term, Trump granted sweeping clemency to people prosecuted for their roles in the January 6 attack, including defendants convicted of violently assaulting police officers. Most received full pardons, 14 had their sentences commuted, and Trump directed the Justice Department to dismiss the remaining covered cases. Even Brian Kemp stood up to Trump when Trump tried to unlawfully overturn Georgia’s 2020 election results. Rick Jackson, by contrast, is campaigning to become Trump’s favorite governor. Let’s be clear: Keisha Lance Bottoms told rioters to go home. Donald Trump sent rioters home from prison. Rick Jackson wants to be Trump’s favorite governor. People can debate Bottoms’s record as mayor. But “Keisha let Atlanta burn” is not an honest debate. It is a partisan fairy tale contradicted by video, contemporaneous reporting, and praise from Republicans themselves. And for the record, I’m a born-and-bred Georgian, not a blue-state transplant lecturing this state from the outside. I know Georgia, I love Georgia, and I want better leadership for Georgia. I’m voting for @KeishaForGA for governor this November. Georgia needs a leader, not a yes-man. Vote accordingly. 💙🌊🇺🇸🍑 #gapol #voteblue

Oh, for fucks sake. Come down off the cross; we could use the wood.

➡️ FACTS: DAR must remain an organization for actual daughters

If you look closely, it reads “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal…except for communists“

It's clear that Rick Jackson is more concerned with profiting from hardworking Georgians than fighting on their behalf.

@GrantMa25066011 The Lorax will hopefully go speak for the trees and stay out of politics.

Very possible this is real, but it’s also a VERY underrated possibility he’s just leaking this to stall for time. Platner almost certainly knows that, if he can last just 5 more days, all the Dems denouncing him now will fall in line behind him again. And I would not be surprised if his “reflection period”, him getting involved in the nomination process, and now this are his attempts at staving off any more opposition research dumps for the next few days. The message not being taped is potentially telling IMO.
OSZ@OpenSourceZone
Graham Platner is working to navigate exit from the Maine senate race Per CNN He is expected to announce his decision through a recorded video But as of this morning, the message had not been tape

I'm not letting this one go. We have to stand firm and stand on the truth.

Hold on let me put on my bulwark hat and make a very serious scowling face to show that we are suddenly serious about this guy that we thought could be the 2028 fucking presidential nominee.
