I’m almost feeling like Florida needs its own Pit thread. Or maybe this is already it. ---

What is stupid is that a little less than half of Georgia voters, most who would claim to be Christians, voted for a man who encouraged multiple abortions, stalked women, threatened women, beat women, fathered multiple children out of wedlock, abandoned ALL his children, lied about being a cop, lied about being FBI, lied about overseeing hospitals, lied about his education…over a Preacher. ---

Germany arrested a group of crazies (including active duty military) who wanted to restore the Kaiser. They claimed to have support from Russia and American QAnons. Germany never gives out the full names of arrestees, but one of the names in the list of those mentioned appears to be that of an active judge. > **[Germany arrests 25 suspected far-right extremists for plotting to overthrow...](https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/07/europe/germany-far-right-arrests-grm-intl/index.html)** > > German officials arrested 22 suspected members and three suspected supporters of a far-right terrorist organization across the country on Wednesday on suspicion of plotting to overthrow the government. ---

> [@Rick\_Kitchen](#): > > Germany never gives out the full names of arrestees, but one of the names in the list of those mentioned appears to be that of an active judge. In this case, the German press did because it’s about a person of public prominence. The name of the judge is Birgit Malsack-Winkemann, not surprisingly a former member of the Bundestag (the German parliament) from 2017-2021 for the AFD, the right-wing faction of the Bundestag. So she had inside information about the workings and interior of the Reichstag-building where the parliament sits and which was targeted to be taken over in a December 6 kind of coup. She also legally owned guns. German link from Der Spiegel: > **[Großrazzia gegen »Reichsbürger«: Verdächtige Richterin scheidet aus...](https://www.spiegel.de/politik/deutschland/grossrazzia-gegen-reichsbuerger-verdaechtige-richterin-birgit-malsack-winkemann-scheidet-aus-zivilkammer-aus-a-5ee24a87-e767-43d3-9a6c-8f6bbc753611)** > > Der Großeinsatz gegen ein mutmaßliches »Reichsbürger«-Terrornetzwerk richtete sich auch gegen Staatsbedienstete.
