It would appear that 45’s wife and youngest son have gone on a European tour.

I wonder if they’ll ever return?

@JaniceOCG The same question we have long asked about Hitler’s rise in Germany. How could it have happened? @stargazersmith

Trump is now facing so many indictments that I think we can throw some fun ones at him and he won't even notice:

-conspiracy to date daughter

-attempted literacy

-illegally tiny hands

-aggravated spray tan

Janet Protasiewicz was just sworn as a justice on the Wisconsin supreme court.

The court, one of the nation’s most ideologically polarized for a long time now, has flipped to a liberal majority for the first time since 2008.

Born in 1928, Vera Rubin set her sights on Princeton, but they wouldn’t accept female grad students in astronomy. So she earned her master’s from Cornell & PhD from Georgetown.

In 1965, Rubin became the 1st woman allowed to observe at the Palomar Observatory. She went on to find evidence for the existence of dark matter.

In 1993, Rubin was awarded the National Medal of Science. But curiously, she was not awarded a Nobel Prize. themarginalian.org/2016/04/18/ #HistoryRemix #science #space #history

So are #JimJordan, Scott Perry, Gosar, Biggs, Brooks off the hook for their roles in #January6th?

A friend of mind just texted and said,

“I hope Trump remembered to get his card stamped. He must be close to getting one indictment for free by now!"

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries have released a statement after Donald Trump was indicted in connection to his efforts to overturn #Election2020.

@Rasta My dad always said “try anything once, twice if you like it.” I don’t recall his stipulating exclusions. @psetnik

House GOP keep blowing the expectations game re: Hunter Biden. They mak big pronouncements and up not backing up their spectacular accusations. Their “smoking gun” is the equivalent of Joe Biden using the cameo app.
