Okay, fine. I’ve never known anyone who’s never had a drink or a pet _and_ has also incited an insurrection against the United States of America. ---

Good luck with that. I she’s not a big name on her own, her only claim to fame is this case. So the only ones who might be interested in contributing to her fund her are those who are specifically interested in the case as a “miscarriage of justice” But those are all Trump devotees, and if Trump has turned his back on her, they will too. Given that [Guilliani could only raise 10k](https://www.thedailybeast.com/rudy-giulianis-legal-fund-was-a-bust-now-its-donation-page-has-disappeared) expect that her fund will garner a couple of thousand max. ---

Very minor, and don’t know where to put this, but I know it shouldn’t go in a P&E thread: Why is a poster now concerned that SDMB is reposting arrest mug shots out of a famous GA case that are pasted across all news media, including Fox News (I assume they are on the far-right shit sites like Newsmax and Breitbart but I won’t go there to verify)? Have right-wing folks been against publicly posting arrest mugshots? I put this in this thread, because every mugshot induces a bit of schadenfreude in me. ---

As mentioned, look at the “I’ve seen things I can’t unsee” or “oh shit, things just got real!” on Cathy Latham’s face. 100 quatloos on her being the first to crack and seek a deal. ---
