[Daily Wire] Tainting the Jury Pool. She needs to go
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has again publicly discussed race, seemingly in response to Georgia Judge Scott McAfee rebuking Willis for her infamous "playing the race card" speech at an Atlanta church in January.
Judge McAfee decided last month that Willis is permitted to stay on a controversial Trump election interference case after Trump co-defendant Michael Roman claimed Willis’ affair with special prosecutor Nathan Wade was a clear conflict of interest, which financially benefited Willis.
"It’s hard out here always having to prove yourself two and three times," Willis said on Friday, at the South Fulton Women of the Shield Awards. "Recently they tell me they don’t like me to talk about race. Well, I’m gonna talk about it anyway. Truth is, there is [sic] some challenges to being black."
Though Willis was allowed to stay on the Trump case if Wade resigned, which he did, McAfee scolded Willis for acting with a "tremendous lapse in judgment," suggested she lied on the stand, and said he did find an appearance of "impropriety."
The judge also rebuked Willis for the public racially-charged speech she gave in January, which seemed to target those who brought the apparent conflict of interest to light.
"They only attacked one," Willis said at the church. "First thing they say, ’Oh, she’s gonna play the race card now.’ But no God, isn’t it them that’s playing the race card when they only question one. Isn’t it them playing the race card when they constantly think I need someone from some other jurisdiction in some other state to tell me how to do a job I’ve been doing almost 30 years."
McAfee wrote that the speech was "legally improper."
"In these public and televised comments, the District Attorney complained that a Fulton County Commissioner ’and so many others’ questioned her decision to hire SADA Wade," he wrote. "When referring to her detractors throughout the speech, she frequently utilized the plural ’they.’ The State argues the speech was not aimed at any of the Defendants in this case. Maybe so. But maybe not. Therein lies the danger of public comment by a prosecuting attorney."
"More at issue, instead of attributing the criticism to a criminal accused’s general aversion to being convicted and facing a prison sentence, the District Attorney ascribed the effort as motivated by ’playing the race card,'" McAfee continued. "She went on to frequently refer to SADA Wade as the ’black man’ while her other unchallenged SADAs were labeled ’one white woman’ and ’one white man.’ The effect of this speech was to cast racial aspersions at an indicted Defendant’s decision to file this pretrial motion."

[Refuge] This is a little funny. The Washington Post has an article about Democrat data scientist Aaron Strauss, who helps direct progressive spending at the firm OpenLabs, warning his peers that registering young people to vote, young people of color specifically, is helping Donald Trump.
The data shows that when Democrats help register young voters, they end up registering people who will vote for Trump. Now they are considering not even holding voter registration drives in target markets because they align with Trump.
WAPO — [...] A confidential memo circulated among top Democratic donors has sparked a furious debate in Democratic circles about whether to narrow the focus of voter registration efforts to avoid signing up likely Republicans.
For decades, nonpartisan groups allied with the Democratic Party have run wide-ranging efforts aimed at increasing voter registration among people of color and young people — groups that tend to lean Democratic but have historically voted at lower rates than older and White people.
In recent years, however, there has been a marked shift among the roughly one in five citizens of voting age who are unregistered toward Republicans, raising fresh questions about how much boosting nonpartisan voter registration could help presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump heading into November.
Aaron Strauss, an influential data scientist who helps direct progressive spending at the firm OpenLabs, sparked private disagreements over this issue in January when he sent about a dozen major Democratic donors a confidential memo that challenged traditional nonpartisan registration.
[...] Polls in recent months have regularly shown Biden polling below 2020 levels among Black and Latino voters. A recent Quinnipiac University poll found Biden pulling support from 60 percent of Black voters and 34 percent of Hispanic voters in a five way race with Trump and three third-party candidates. Exit polls in 2020 showed Biden winning 87 percent of the Black voter and 65 percent of the Latino vote. (read more)

What the Sleestak is saying is accurate, but it’s not. The young folks will vote for non-establishment Republicans. They don’t care for the Romney crowd anymore than we do.

Joe is saying that he signs stuff that he doesn’t read or his staff are faking his signature. Alternately, he can’t remember what he has done or he’s a liar. Which of those alternative is presidential?

"They" know he's a vegetable, and worse, "they" know that WE know. Its part of the plan--they're literally rubbing our faces in it. And they will stop at nothing to ensure that sufficient cheating takes place to drag this vegetable across the finish line again.
