How WILD is it that Fulton County's elected commissioners are being compelled - by force - to vote a certain way (why do they have a role at all if merely ceremonial?) in seating election-deniers to that county's elections board? Well, that's what a Brian Kemp-appointed judge decided earlier this week. Here we are, with Fulton County Republican clowns offering up only two appointees - both election-deniers - for Fulton commissioners to (uh) "choose" from.

If that erosion of democratic norms and liberties isn't enough, now the same party that loathes "government overreach" from the federal bureaucracy is sending word from on high (DOT Secretary Sean Duffy) that (checks notes) rainbow crosswalks have to go "because safety." Atlanta officials say theirs are here to stay, and there's ample reason to believe they're actually good for pedestrian safety, but whatever, "woke libs!"

Florida's crosswalks face a less certain fate.

Meanwhile, the Wednesday night CDC "red wedding" would be an utter embarrassment to RFK Jr. and the Trump White House if they had any self-awareness in the first place. First, they fired that just-appointed CDC director THEY signed off on; an appointee who'd just weeks ago been voted in by the Senate. She refused to step down so naturally, Donnie J. had to take to Truth Social to make it official. LOL That's where we are now, as a country.

Then, Atlanta-based Dr. Demetre Daskalakis penned a resignation letter he posted to the X platform, excoriating the "intentional eroding of trust in low-risk vaccines favoring natural infection and unproven remedies ..."

Just another day to be embarrassed as an American to be led by such buffonishness while our health and wellness guardrails continue to be dismantled.
