Breaking: Trump argues that since the memo line of his check to Cohen did not say "criminal payment" then he is innocent.

@SecularJeffrey Easy! Tap and hold the space bar. That turns the keyboard into a touchpad. Then you can slide to the exact position you want.

@SecularJeffrey iOS has a “swipe” style keyboard built in. You can slide to numbers for quick use, or switch to the numeric keyboard. I can help more if you provide an actual example of what you’re trying to do.

@tdwllms1 @GottaLaff NFL: I don't see why he can't be jailed overnights then allowed to shower and dress for trial at Rikers. Lots of prisoners do that. Doesn't need to interrupt the trial.

15/ Pagliery:

What was different this time was that Justice Merchan finally addressed the elephant in the room.

No, not Trump.

I'm talking about the potential for destabilizing the nation & directing the fury of MAGA on NYC.

Merchan understands the stakes. And they are unbelievably high.

@wdlindsy I’ve found opinions tend to differ when broken down by both race and grade.

@AmishSuperModel @GreenFire Anyways, Jefferson was the one to establish the principle of the wall of separation between church & state — the guideline officially confirmed by a number of Presidents after him.
Presidents, who were able to understand, what Jefferson meant to say - without needing tremendously beautiful drawings.😎

"...
1. Thomas Jefferson (1802): “I contemplate with sovereign reverence [quotes the First Amendment establishment and free exercise clauses] thus building a wall of separation between church and state.”
2. James Madison (1819): “Both society and religion benefit from the total separation of the church from the state.”
3. Ulysses S. Grant (1876): “Keep the church and state forever separate.”
4. John F. Kennedy (1960): “I believe in an America where the separation of church and state is absolute.”
5. Richard Nixon (1960): “The separation of church and state is not subject to discussion or alteration.”
6. Jimmy Carter (1977): “I believe in the separation of church and state.”
7. Ronald Reagan (1984): “We establish no religion in this country, church and state are, and must remain separate.”

I have no idea what day it is, but I’ve been discharged from the hospital. Yay!

Sometimes I feel like criticizing something Joe Biden has felt he had to do on some issue or something, but then I ask myself who does that benefit?

It's not going to benefit me just by venting and it most certainly is not going to make the POTUS do something that he thinks is the wrong thing to do. He seems set in his ways.

So who benefits? Well, his opponents benefit. Well, do I want his opponents to be stronger because of something I did?

No, I do not want Biden's opponents to be stronger.
