It’s like I tell people when I recount the time I was caught up in the middle of an FBI case. (I was a witness cooperating with them.) Thrillers are really cool to watch on TV but really, really suck to actually live through them. I love plot twists on TV and movies. In real life, let’s try to let sanity prevail if at all possible. ---

Looks like Cheato has worked himself up into another tantrum: > This is the real crime that took place in Georgia, with a Racist in Reverse D.A., who presides over the most dangerous city per capita in our Nation (by far!), Atlanta, does nothing but harass me for making two absolutely PERFECT phone calls, and for any other fake reason that the Department of Injustice in D.C. tells her to pursue. They are demanding silence from people from protesting, or even discussing, Election results, because that’s the place they just don’t want to get anywhere near! ---

“Racist in Reverse”? As in thinks everybody is equally worthy of respect and dignity regardless of race? I wonder sometimes how long, if at all, it would take for anybody that stupid to really get how dumb they sound if you just repeated their words back to them with a dubious tone. > [@Gyrate](#): > > Imagine thinking that a “perfect phone call” was a thing. Well, it’s possible in the “perfect = doesn’t expose me to legal issues” sense. Too bad these calls didn’t pass that bar, either. ---
