The fact that I know more about Fani Willis’ and Nathan Wade’s relationship than I do about the crimes committed by Ginni Thomas and Clarence Thomas shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.
I dont because the entire racist, misogynistic attack on Willis was too painful for me to follow. The bits I did come across left me in such a rage.
I don't know how black women live it. I can at least run away.

You're right. It's racism first, misogyny second.
Rich white men can bang porn stars and go on to be President.
Rich white women can fuel insurrection and go on to ride on shoulders of bribe-taking black hubby to meet out "justice", with BOTH protecting each other.
Meanwhile, a black woman is attacked for mere romance and her finances questioned 😡
@rameshgupta @Edelruth @Strandjunker
I still know nothing about Willis, being Canadian and trying to focus on knowing more about our own politics than yours.
I do know, this is connected to one of the trials, which means the most horrible people in the world are doing what they do best.
⬆️ @jpaskaruk
#Willis is the black DA prosecuting #Trump for subverting #Elections2020 by seeking to "find 11,780 votes, which is one more than" he had
Now, Trump's defense is trying to disqualify her on allegations of romance between her and the lead prosecutor.
Trump himself rode to the Presidency after suppressing his own indiscretions with a porn star (separate case)
Meanwhile, #GinniThomas, wife of #SCOTUS justice #ClarenceThomas, fueled the #Jan6 insurrection.
@rameshgupta @Edelruth @Strandjunker
And this is one of the things SCOTUS has taken up now?
Interesting. They clearly expect that if they manage to coup the state right in front of everyone, that we will all just accept it like we've accepted every other foul stench that's come out of DC.
I am not remotely as confident about them doing the same, if Trump is prevented from being a ballot choice through bureaucratic or legal procedure.
Strap in folks.
@rameshgupta @Edelruth @Strandjunker
I believe it's all delay tactics at this point, but I am curious, if they succeed in removing Willis, who decides who takes over the case? Could her removal scuttle the whole thing, or would her second just step in and continue things?
@jpaskaruk The problem is that this story is a lot deeper than @rameshgupta described above.
The issue is that Willis and her prosecutor seem to have been lying to the court, to the judge, which is a cardinal sin. The professionals standing before the court are expected to be firstly honest with the court ahead of everything else.
And so in the face of the alleged breaking of their faith with the court and unprofessional behavior in these proceedings, the judge will have to think about how deep the misbehavior went, and in the end the entire office might be stricken from the case, which would entail bringing in an entire new team, which would involve starting from scratch, which would be a huge delay.
But let's be clear: Willis brought this on herself.
She should have known better than to open herself up to this sort of complaint, but she honestly just seems outright incompetent.

My initial response in this thread did not even mention any names, but most people in US should have been able to follow what I said.
My 2nd toot had sufficient contours to help the guy from Canada.
So what's your thrust?
#Racism, because you think #Fani must held to a diff std than #Ginni, or #Misogyny, because she must be held to a diff std than #Clarence?
@rameshgupta I hold neither of those perspectives.
Thanks for asking, though. Better than just assuming.
