    If he doesn't win, he is going to be the most miserable billionaire on the planet.

    Brian Kemp to the rescue?

    Georgia Governor approves bill that may halt Fani Willis' investigation.

    Georgia Governor Brian Kemp has signed a law reactivating a committee that can monitor local prosecutors like Fulton County DA Fani Willis.

    The Prosecuting Attorneys Qualifications Commission was initially established last year but blocked by the state Supreme Court.

    The new law removes the high court's approval, allowing the commission, comprised solely of Republican appointees, to potentially remove prosecutors whose decisions they disagree with.

    “This legislation will help us ensure rogue and incompetent prosecutors are held accountable if they refuse to uphold the law,” Kemp said. “As we know all too well, crime has been on the rise across the country, and is especially prevalent in cities where prosecutors are giving criminals a free pass or failing to put them behind bars due to lack of professional conduct.”

    Supporters say it provides oversight of rogue prosecutors, while critics argue it removes voter oversight and hands political appointees unchecked power.

    “The signing of Senate Bill 332 shows that Republicans care little about the State Constitution and will stop at nothing to steal power from Georgia voters. The bill fails to address the constitutional concerns raised by the legal community over the last year about the Prosecuting Attorneys Qualifications Commission and even worse, removes the Supreme Court’s oversight of the body. Now this group of political appointees—chosen solely by Republicans—has unchecked power to remove prosecutors whose decisions they disagree with, no matter how well a district attorney or solicitor general represents the voters who elected them in the courtroom,” said DeKalb County's Chief Asshole Sherry Boston.

    Strike the word "republican" and insert "democrat" and y'all would be losing your minds over this.

    Will this still be a good idea when Georgia elects a democrat governor and this commission is filled with far left "moonbats"?

    What's all this y'all business?

    Was the 2020 election stolen? Job interviews at RNC take an unusual turn.

    Those seeking employment at the Republican National Committee after a Trump-backed purge of the committee this month have been asked in job interviews if they believe the 2020 election was stolen, according to people familiar with the interviews, making the false claim a litmus test of sorts for hiring.

    In recent days, Trump advisers have quizzed multiple employees who had worked in key 2024 states about their views on the last presidential election, according to people who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe private interviews and discussions. The interviews have been conducted mostly virtually, as the prospective future employees are based in key swing states.

    “Was the 2020 election stolen?” one prospective employee recalled being asked in a room with two top Trump advisers.

    The question about the 2020 election has startled some of the potential employees, who viewed it as questioning their loyalty to Trump and as an unusual job interview question, according to the people familiar with the interviews. A group of senior Trump advisers have been in the RNC building in recent days conducting the interviews.

    The questions about the 2020 election were open-ended, two people familiar with the questioning said.

    “But if you say the election wasn’t stolen, do you really think you’re going to get hired?” one former RNC employee asked.

    “Candidates who worked on the front line in battleground states or are currently in states where fraud allegations have been prevalent were asked about their work experience,” RNC and Trump spokeswoman Danielle Alvarez said in a statement Tuesday. “We want experienced staff with meaningful views on how elections are won and lost and real experience-based opinions about what happens in the trenches.”
    President Biden’s reelection campaign on Wednesday sharply criticized the RNC’s practice of asking prospective employees whether the 2020 election was stolen.

    “In Donald Trump’s America, elections are only fair when he wins and nothing is off the table to stay in power — including violence like on January 6th and being a dictator on day one,” Biden spokesperson Ammar Moussa said in a statement. “And, now, Donald Trump is demanding fealty to his extreme, anti-democratic beliefs to be part of his Republican Party.”

    RNC staffers were told en masse in early March that they were being let go but could reapply for jobs, and the application process has included an interview with the Trump advisers. The Trump advisers this week are vetting both former employees and some laid-off employees — whose last day is Friday — to decide how many can either return or stay with the RNC.

    Doug Heye, a longtime GOP strategist who worked as communications director at the RNC, said the party had long expected staffers to mimic the positions of its presidential candidates. “You’re there for that specific reason,” he said, “to back the candidate up and go along with the worldview.”

    But nominees other than Trump wouldn’t make such outlandish claims, he said, or put employees in such an uncomfortable spot.

    “The problem with Trumpism is that despite bringing in very smart and very capable people, if you want to play Trump’s game, you have to back him up on everything he says. Claims about the election being stolen is kind of the last frontier of that,” Heye said.

    Other questions have included what they believe should be done on “election integrity” in 2024, along with basic questions about their job responsibilities, their previous employers and their opinions on how things are going at the RNC.

    Instead of having employees based in Washington, Trump advisers have told prospective employees that many will be expected to move to Palm Beach, Fla., to be near Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club, hollowing out the RNC headquarters. RNC officials have said it is about combining the operations of the campaign and the committee for maximum use ahead of the general election.

    The hiring process came after Trump grew disillusioned with the leadership of RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, who then stepped down in early March. One of his main gripes was that the RNC had not done enough to focus on “election integrity” or to boost his claims that the 2020 election was stolen. McDaniel, for her part, faced a widespread revolt this week at NBC News over her past comments questioning the validity of the election after she was hired as a contributor; NBC announced Tuesday that it was reversing its decision.

    Trump installed Michael Whatley, a loyalist from North Carolina, as the chairman of the party, along with daughter-in-law Lara Trump as co-chair.

    Trump has falsely maintained that the election was stolen since 2020 and has often endorsed candidates based on agreement with that belief. He is facing charges in federal court in Washington over his efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

    Some Trump advisers have urged him for years to stop talking about the election, but he has largely resisted those entreaties.
