Georgia Republicans are working on passing a law to let the legislature get rid of any DA they disapprove of.
Damn, what a weird coincidence.
That sounds like RICO could be expanded to a few more people.
Fucking fascist trash
They already passed it, but it's designed to target DAs who don't prosecute abortion cases, not to stop Willis; it works through a panel of former DAs/judges and a number of them are appointed by the governor, who has no great love for Trump.
No it's for both, if a loophole exists they will exploit it, you cannot give these people the benefit of doubt, if they don't go after Willis using this they will just go after some other legitimate case's prosecutor down the line.
Oh I'm not, it's just that if they want to stop Willis it's not very well designed for that because they can't even start accepting complaints until July 2024 and the process seems to be somewhat drawn-out (one panel has to investigate and then refer it to another panel). And of course this assumes it survives the inevitable court challenges.
I'm sure it'll be very effective at shutting down whatever prosecutor goes after Kid Rock for trying to steal the 2028 election, but it's not going to do much about this particular prosecution.
I bow to your God-tier level snark, lol.
I'm honestly confused if I would rather Robert Richie or Ron DeSantis be the 2028 candidate for the MAGA Qult, both are complete garbage, but at least Richie has done some nice things for people over the years, so he's a terrible person, but not on DeSantis's level. Thankfully it looks like Desantis's political aspirations might be hitting a dead end, finally.
Also Richie is brainwashed, like absolutely brainwashed, his Howard Stern interview during Trump's presidency was really eye opening on how much brain rot is there. When Howard would press him about some negative stuff about Trump or the Republicans Kid Rock's only defense was "because that's the narrative, it's all about maintaining the narrative", he said "the narrative" so often during that interview that it began pissing me off. Also that's obviously projection since we see how things have gone for the Republicans and maintaining their narrative before, during, and after the 2020 election and Jan. 6.
