Fake Trump elector leads push to take over Atlanta area elections: report

A movement in the northern suburbs of Atlanta is seeking to strip election administration powers from officials in Fulton County — and one of the leaders of this push is a Republican who signed on as one of the fake Trump "electors" in Georgia, reported the Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Tuesday.

"The cities of Alpharetta, Johns Creek, Milton and Roswell are planning for the possibility of running their own elections this fall. The city of Milton already voted to approve the change," reported Mark Niesse and Adrianne Murchison. "The idea sprung from a Milton committee that included city officials and two residents: Mark Amick, one of 16 Republicans who tried to award Georgia’s votes to Donald Trump in 2020, and Lisa Cauley, the president of Fulton County Republican Women. Neither returned messages seeking comment."

'Really sick' Marjorie Taylor Greene 'hates Americans': Morning Joe

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) called for a "national divorce" to "separate red states from blue states," and MSNBC's Joe Scarborough said that revealed that many Republicans "hate" other Americans.

Greene blasted for 'parroting Kremlin talking points' after Biden visits Kyiv

President Joe Biden‘s covert trip to Ukraine, months in the making yet kept totally out of the press until he entered Kyiv Monday morning, has generated glowing headlines across the nation and around the world, and it’s making Donald Trump’s MAGA defenders, like U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, go ballistic.

“Biden took a *10-hour* train ride from Poland to Kyiv as US fighter jets circled the Poland/Ukraine border,” MSNBC’s Ali Velshi tweeted Monday evening, “making him the 1st sitting president to enter a war zone with no active US military presence.”

Bill Maher explains why incivility during SOTU addresses is 'the canary in the coal mine' for US democracy

Political comedian Bill Maher of "Real Time" on HBO, has been warning that U.S. democracy is in a state of crisis thanks to the MAGA movement and far-right Republicans who refuse to accept democratic election results they don't like. As Maher sees it, the type of authoritarian mindset one sees in figures like Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan can also be found in MAGA Republicans who refuse to accept Joe Biden as a legitimately elected president.

Maher has been arguing that the U.S. dodged a major bullet when Republican Kari Lake (who lost to Democratic Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs) and many other like-minded election denialists were defeated in the 2022 midterms. But he also believes that U.S. democracy is far from out of the woods. During a commentary aired on Friday, February 17, Maher pointed to incivility during presidential State of the Union addresses as symptomatic of the threats that democracy is facing in the U.S.

On Monday, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) took to Twitter to argue for secession of Republican-controlled states from the United States, an idea she euphemistically termed a "national divorce" — something a number of Southern states famously attempted in 1861 over the question of slavery, leading to the Civil War.
