A "potpourri" sort of show today. Atlanta's Democratic party-membered civic leadership is going with 'signature matching' - the same technique the state party sued the state to stop using - to verify the 104,000+ signatures the 'Cop City Vote' organizers collected. The lack of self-awareness with the mayor & council here is stunning. From Erick Erickson's "The Gathering," let's eavesdrop in on some Chris Christie commentary, complete with Erick mis-representing the 'Cop City' movement, of course. Also, why the swipe at Jimmy Carter, dude? A looming economic depression in China, the continuing war in Ukraine, coupled with Biden's guidance of the American economy through all that turmoil and more, has me asking "who do you want taking that 2 am phone call?" It's a question the Biden/Harris campaign needs to consider lifting from the 2016 playbook. Lastly, as we continue to grieve Cobb's school board decision to fire Katie Rinderle, it just seems appropriate a Matt Damon interview from 2011 - where he defended teachers so mightily - has gone viral.
