I don't understand why Republicans hate Hunter Biden so much. He's basically everything they love. He's anti-taxes, pro-guns, and he lied to the feds. The only thing lacking is an attempt to overthrow an election. 🤷♂️
Switching over to Ukrainian channels for a bit because here's a scary development not directly related to the coup but VERY much worth mentioning:

New #Calckey release candidate!
This will be the last release candidate before the launch of the next major version! We've taken this time to add some requested features, stomp out many some bugs, and ensure that everyone is getting the experience they deserve.
Also, it's my ( @kainoa@calckey.social ) 20th birthday tomorrow, so if you could boost this, I'd really appreciate it, as we've all worked really hard on this 🥺
