Acrid Takeover, 29th Day of Childwinter, 526 M.E. (Electra): Acrid - having an irritatingly strong and unpleasant taste or smell. Takeover - to assume control or possession, to become dominant. Example - The FBI's seizure of election ballots from 2020 in Atlanta yesterday left a bitter and unpleasant taste in the mouths of Georgia citizens appalled by the acrid takeover.  

As you've no doubt heard, the FBI executed a search warrant yesterday at an election center in Fulton County, seizing ballots in a significant escalation of the administration’s continued efforts to overturn the Stable Genius' 2020 defeat in Georgia.

This affects me personally - I care because my mail-in ballots from that covid-sodden year-of-the-plague 2020 are probably among the ballots seized. The FBI has my five-year-old votes and my voter's registation information. Infuriatingly, the only reason the ballots still exist and weren't destroyed after two years as per state law is because of private lawsuits (Favorito v. Wan, and Jeffords v. Fulton County) by MAGA zealots that have been lingering on for years, and a judicial order that the ballots be preserved as evidence in the suits.

Inexplicably, Russian asset Tulsi Gabbard, the wildly unqualified Director of National Intelligence, was present at the Fulton County raid. Senator Mark Warner of Virginia pointed out there are only two reasons why Tulsi would be at the raid. “Either Director Gabbard believes there was a legitimate foreign intelligence nexus," he tweeted, "in which case she is in clear violation of her obligation under the law to keep the intelligence committees ‘fully and currently informed’ of relevant national security concerns — or she is once again demonstrating her utter lack of fitness for the office that she holds by injecting the nonpartisan intelligence community she is supposed to be leading into a domestic political stunt designed to legitimize conspiracy theories that undermine our democracy.” He further pointed out that “either is a serious breach of trust that further underscores why she is totally unqualified to hold a position that demands sound judgment, apolitical independence, and a singular focus on keeping Americans safe.”

The Stable Genius has been obsessed with his loss in Georgia in 2020 (good). However, the ballots have been tabulated and retabulated, counted and recounted, electronically and manually, and subject to multiple lawsuits. Georgia and Fulton County officials and election experts have repeatedly confirmed the vote and have refuted assertions of election fraud and no evidence of fraud was ever presented under oath in court. 

Seizing ballot boxes and voting machines is a classic tactic straight out of the totalitarian playbook. It's the behavior of the Maduros, the Mussolinis, and the Putins of the world - in other words, right up the Stable Genius' alley.  

Friendly reminder that the Constitution clearly and explicitly puts voting laws and procedures squarely in the hands of the States, not the federal government. I don't trust Tulsi Gabbard, Kash Patel, the FBI, or anyone in the Stable Genius' administration with my vote and my voter registration information. I'm appalled that they this information - not only who I cast my ballot for, but my address, date of birth, and all the other sensitive information in the registry. I don't trust that they won't do exactly what they're insinuating Fulton County's done - namely, destroy ballots, generate false ballots, and alter existing ballots - and also use my personal information for retribution purposes. 

Hands off my ballots, Tulsi! Hands off, Kash! Hands off, FBI! Hands off, Stable Genius! And to paraphrase Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey, "Get the fuck out of Fulton County!"
