Fani Willis should slap him and his ilk with obstruction of justice. He doesn't speak for Georgia, he speaks for his derelict members of his party.

@morgfair People sign legally binding contracts on the line, where the X is...It's literally where one signs off their soul. He has Twitter's subscribers bound to his contract. And that contract will likely have xAI and Neuralink interwoven into it. He's building an exclusive internet enterprise of interconnected humans, AI, and machines. He's powerful and clever enough to control its purposed policy and future regulation. People have no idea what's coming. @Eka_FOOF_A https://mastodon.me.uk/@garius #X

@morgfair ‟From the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic at the start of 2020, it became apparent that many aspects of recovery from SARS-CoV-2 infection were dissimilar to infections by the related, common cold, human coronaviruses.”

That unique dissimilarity is what has caused me all along to believe that it's a bio-engineered pathogen.
