If this is true and Ms Rolfe was fired for nothing other than being the stepmother of the officer who was charged with murdering someone, it is sad. Truly unfortunate.

Yet it is a somewhat predictable outcome given the PR hit the company could take and the fact Georgia is a "right to work/at-will employment" state.

It's also way down low on the list of terrible things happening in America right now. I'm not excusing it, just looking for perspective.

Carlson said a “source familiar with the matter” told his show that Melissa Rolfe, the stepmother of Garrett Rolfe, was let go from an Atlanta-based company called Equity Prime Mortgage, where she had been human resources director.

Tucker Carlson is even more out of touch than I thought if he thinks he can spin the firing of an HR officer as a bad thing.

I found this interesting and relevant to US politics, despite its historical content. Both are quick reads.

Oh look, Republicans Trumpistas are turning into children when faced with legitimate criticism of Trump's corrupt boot-licking appointees. How unsurprising.

Deciding to mock the protests about people dying of police brutality by equating it to a wearing a mask to prevent the virus spread, all whilst cases are surging in Arizona, is particularly vile behavior.

Just seen that margin in the Bowman - Engel primary.

Bet his comments that he "wouldnt care if it werent election year" helped Bowman.

Now just for a Booker win in Kentucky, which looks promising.

The guy playing Gene Krupa was at one time a state district court judge.

He's been in the House for 15 years and I do not believe he's been the lead sponsor of a single piece of legislation that has passed the House in that entire time. He'd rather act the fool in front of TV cameras.

Tbf in a crowded environment he has shown a real talent and aptitude for it.
