@Popehat To tell you the truth, I am kind of happy.
@Popehat: But who of the alleged racketeers is alleged to have lupus?

@Mastodon

"It's never fucking RICO, Josh."

Haha, good times!!

@Popehat
Would alt-text have helped me comprehend this?

@jprestonian
Yes.
Alt description: low-angle view of Ken's face, as though the webcam is pointed upward & he's standing. He's waving his arms, and his mouth is open as though shouting. The transcript reads as follows.
0:04 fine
0:06 it's Rico
0:09 are you happy now

@Popehat

@jprestonian @Popehat No.

(still from a Video of Ken White taken on a cell phone, with a transcription. Ken exasperatedly says to the camera:
"Fine <dramatic pause> It's Rico! <pause> Are you happy now?")

@kilpatds @jprestonian @Popehat also lacks the context of Ken’s continued arguing that “it’s never RICO”. But Georgia is as Georgia does, and Ken normally is referring to federal RICO.
@kilpatds @jprestonian @Popehat going back and reading 10y of Popehat tweets would though.
@7leaguebootdisk @kilpatds @Popehat
Ain't nobody got time for that!
@jprestonian @kilpatds @Popehat totally worth it though. Except they deleted all of them.
@Popehat well, truthfully, I'm never happy. But this makes me slightly happier.
@Popehat Ken, a question I'd like to hear answered on your next show is re:Trump...how would you react if one of your clients received this string of indictments? Like, how would you strategize for defending this? And I'm just assuming that you had a normal client and not, you know, the platonic ideal of a nutjob.
@Popehat
I hope you shout Rico Rico Rico to the tune of Gino by Dexy’s Midnight Runners.

@Popehat

Yes.

Now I'm happy. If they could have just worked in a slip-and-fall or a libelslander

@Popehat Hopefully the community will pitch in with translations. Here, I'll get us started with Pig Latin:
"ine-fay! it's-way Ico-ray! are-way oo-yay appy-hay ow-nay?"

@Popehat

When I clicked on it last night I lol'd. Thank you for the hearty chuckle. 😁

@Popehat Ken, we are all happy now because its RICO! Finally RICO!
@Popehat Josh ate the last donut?
@Popehat in the distance, one can hear a goat scream
@Popehat I thought Elijah was to have come first…
@Popehat
Maybe "happy" is a little strong, but yeah, that's the gist.
@Popehat somehow better as a still
@Popehat
Did...did YOU...do the RICO?

@Popehat

You tempted the gods of irony with your previous declaration. That it ended up being state RICO was them pouring salt on the wounds.

@Popehat is he in jail yet, and is the electorate still a bunch of bigots? I'm thinking my life is pretty good, but things aren't okay.
@Popehat Yes. Now I am happy :)
@Popehat I’ll be happy when any of it sticks, but it doesn’t suck.
