In Georgia, a criminal investigation into former President Donald Trump’s post-election conduct is expanding to include close Trump ally Sen. Lindsey Graham, according to a Friday report by the Washington Post.
The investigation, which was opened by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis earlier this month, will probe whether Trump — and now Graham — violated state law in the course of Trump’s attempt to overturn the election
results in Georgia following the 2020 presidential election.
According to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, Graham — a Republican from South Carolina — asked Raffensperger in November whether the secretary of state had the power to throw out all mail-in ballots in certain Georgia counties, a move that could potentially have tipped the state, and its 16 electoral votes, to Trump in the November election.
Raffensperger was reportedly “stunned” by Graham’s question and rejected the idea, which would have been beyond his power as secretary of state. After multiple recounts, President Joe Biden ultimately won Georgia by 11,779 votes, becoming the first
Democratic presidential nominee to do so since Bill Clinton in 1992.
Worth the long read. Both his tweets and article
Immigration Hard-Liner Files Reveal 40-Year Bid Behind Trump's Census Obsession

I am glad they are doing this because Trump and his people tried to fuck this shit over...Everyone and their mama knows what’s going on with all demographics.
Lady G should have kept his mouth close (yuck that sounds creepy saying that) but anyways Yep he did make s phone call before Trump to the Georgia Secretary of State so let’s see where this goes.

I spent several months in West Virginia over the course of a few years. Every single person I encountered was the walking stereotype of a West Virginia redneck. It's almost like they're trying to live up to the stereotype.
Or like it's just true
You are correct but that $15 an hour thing is getting their antennas up in the air
You can live like royalty on $15 an hr in WV
Neil god ! Bout 30 man
more disinformation......
There's an area where WV, MD, and VA meet.
Now I am going to make a big assumption and say that WV has the lowest cost of living between the three. I'd commute like a mutherfucker from WV to VA or MD for work and live it up in WV but still be able to do shit in all three states.
So how far does 75k (the stimulus limit) go in WV vs lets say NY,NJ, DC, Cali, etc...
Shit has far does $15 an hour fo in NY, NJ, DC, Cali, etc....

Georgia is not going to convict either of them. Waste of time.
At first, I stayed in West Virginia but fuck that. I started staying at hotels in either Winchester, VA or in Frederick, Maryland. Frederick was somewhat better but I remember calling my friend and telling him all the white people there remind me of Frank and Nicky Sobotka from The Wire.
Yeah and some people said trump was going to win Georgia in a landslide
you're more stupid than I even thought. Peep the flag in my profile you ignorant bastard. Does that look like a nigerian flag to you? oh wait...you didn't take a geography class growing up. foh.Didn't know Biden did this. When Obama went to Africa and starting preaching that shit, they told him to GTFO. I bet Biden won't try this with Saudi Arabia.
Joe Biden invited to Nigeria to ‘marry a man as his second wife’ by raging homophobic bishop
The angry tirade comes after Biden vowed to advance the cause of LGBT+ rights around the world, threatening financial sanctions on regimes deemed to have infringed on the human rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and intersex people.
A memo signed by Biden on 4 February instructed US government agencies to “strengthen existing efforts to combat the criminalisation by foreign governments of LGBTQI+ status or conduct”.
It added: “When foreign governments move to restrict the rights of LGBTQI+ persons or fail to enforce legal protections in place, thereby contributing to a climate of intolerance, agencies engaged abroad shall consider appropriate responses, including using the full range of diplomatic and assistance tools and, as appropriate, financial sanctions, visa restrictions, and other actions.”
Speaking to African outlet Sahara Reporters, bishop Emmah Isong of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria hit out at Biden in the wake of the memo, defending Nigeria’s laws criminalising homosexuality.
He said: “I personally take it as a rumour that America wants to sanction governments that are anti-gay. The US has not communicated officially with the government of Nigeria.
“Let there be an official gazetted letter signed by the Secretary of State of the United States telling us to become gay, then we invite the president of the US to come and marry a man in Nigeria as his second wife.
“He must practise what he’s preaching, if the president of America wants Nigeria to practise gay, he should come and marry a man from here so we will know he means business.”
He added: “Every nation is equal in the comity of nations. America is a country that believes in the tenets of democracy which is freedom of speech, and I believe that Nigeria is an independent nation, we are not a nation under America.
“We are not among the states under American nation. We have the right to be anti-gay, I believe no one can sanction us for that.
“If they sanction us for being against gays, we can sanction them for believing in it… the worst thing they can do is raise their visa fees and we raise ours too and they reduce it and apologise and we also reduce ours and apologise.”
Homosexuality is illegal in Nigeria and is punished by up to 14 years in prison. (This is why @Hotlantan, @veritech, @mangobob79, and @rph2005 had to leave).
A law passed by former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan in 2014 bans same-sex relationships, and also makes a person who “registers, operates or participates in gay clubs, societies and organisation, or directly or indirectly make public show of same-sex amorous relationship” liable for 10 years in prison.
In October, a judge threw out charges against 47 men arrested under the country’s anti-gay law after a raid on a hotel.
