Jenna Ellis smiled in her mugshot. The former Trump attorney who was indicted alongside him and 17 others over an alleged conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election results even made the Fulton County booking photo her profile picture on Twitter. “Those who mock me, my former client, and my God want to see me break and they aren’t going to get that satisfaction,” she told The New York Times in August.

On Tuesday, through tears, Jenna Ellis accepted a plea deal from Georgia prosecutors. Five years probation and some community service in exchange for her truthful testimony against her co-defendants. While Ellis’ role in the upcoming trial remains an open-ended question, something else looms over her decision to flip on her former allies: the $216,431 crowdsourced by friends and Trump supporters to fund her legal defense.

    You don’t drown inside yourself from yourself from covid.

    Your lungs rupture and are unable to uptake oxygen. You breathe like always, it just doesn’t matter, you can barely get any O².

    So you breathe faster. It becomes all you can do. You can’t even talk it’s so laborious, you just sit there, panting. Your chest on fire.

    And then the unthinkable happens. Something youve likely never experienced. The muscles involved in breathing are too tapped out to go on. You tell yourself to breathe, but your body starts not responding. And your breathing slows, your O² levels fall further. You take one last gasp with all your will to live, then pass out and die.

    It’s lonely; utterly tragic. A terrifying, miserable way to die.

      Thank you for your excellent description of the totally not fun at all death that could be awaiting us if we don’t get those flu and COVID vaccines.

      It’s not even 9 AM and I’ve already had enough Internet for today.
