"They understand it’s not theirs, it is the country’s. Trump was asked to give these documents back, and not only did he not give them back, the indictment suggests that he was packing them and moving them around and hiding them from federal investigators, and then lying to them and directing his lawyers to lie to them about where the documents were and how many he had."

A lie can go halfway round the world while the truth has a paywall.

What’s white and can ruin any conversation?

An avalanche.

Both parties are not the same:

Democrats introduce bills to eliminate loopholes in child labor laws (preventing 12-year-olds from working 14 hours daily in agriculture and using dangerous equipment while still allowing people on family farms to pass on traditions). Republicans write new state legislation allowing children to work in factories and serve alcohol in restaurants.

Lots of tough talk. And they are willing to take on unarmed, peaceable civilians. But they've yet shown courage against armed forces.

I've read that the legal system is fearful of violence. They shouldn't have fear. They should be determined and prepared. The more prepared they are, the less likely there will be violence.

5/ Someone asked:

Serious question. What happens if they just don’t try very hard to find counsel? Can they just delay this thing for months under the guise of 🤷‍♂️

Attorney Dino Bjelopoljak responded:

Nope. The judge can force the case to go forward.

[Me: It's Aileen Cannon isn't it? If it is, then delay time. If not, then hopefully the case will move fwd]

I found a Bible verse I didn't know existed. It seems to be ignored these days, so I thought I'd share (disclaimer: I am not a #Christian):

"There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, NOR IS THERE MALE AND FEMALE, for you are all one in Christ Jesus."

Serious question: Are PGA players who criticized the Sauds safe playing in events in the Middle East? Or anywhere, really? Event security is now presumably at least half controlled by the Sauds.
