Without googling it, can you name another person who has been charged with 78 or more felonies? #trivia

@AlliFlowers See Tommy Tuberville Foundation.
He promised to donate "every dime" from his foundation to veterans, but has failed to do so.
Was also involved in a hedge fund that defrauded investors. Settled out of court.
I am beginning to think he may not be an honest man...

“We elected a day-trading, Florida-living, mediocre football coach to the U.S. Senate.

The blame lands where the responsibility always was.

We put the toddler in the room with the loose gun, and now we caught a bullet in the groin.” al.com/news/2023/08/whitmire-t

"We’re running out of unprecedenteds. I know that’s not a word, but on this night, it’s necessary to go ahead and coin one to describe the gravity of what just happened. The grand jury in Washington D.C. handed up an indictment of the former president of the United States, Donald J. Trump, referred to throughout its 47 pages as 'the Defendant.'"

@knittingknots2 Belarus is rattling their swords on a boundary, not Ukraine. Is that to distract from something Putin is going to try in Ukraine? Belarus can’t be seen as antagonizing Ukraine so they choose a country that shares a border with both. “Accidentally” bring fighting into Ukraine, allow Putin to “help” his troops. I can see it as if it were a movie.

“Diversity, equity and inclusion programs were abolished Tuesday from Walt #DisneyWorld’s governing district, now controlled by appointees of [racist bigot] Gov. Ron #DeSantis, in an echo of the Florida governor’s agenda which has championed curtailing such programs in higher education and elsewhere.” nbcnews.com/business/business-

@AlliFlowers @JaniceOCG @stargazersmith A lot of easily manipulated people (voters). Same methodology as Hitler.

When/If Trump is found guilty after today's indictments, EVERY member of Congress who participated in the attempt to overturn the election should be immediately expelled.

Libraries are civic marvels.

Besides lending books and providing internet access, the Chicago Public Library lets you check out fishing poles, telescopes, cameras, knitting supplies, sewing machines, puzzles, tools, cooking equipment, a (model) human skull, sheet music, instruments, toys, museum passes, laptops, wifi hotspots, craft kits, seeds.

You can book meeting rooms or 3D printers. Some branches have teachers on site for homework help. Story time for kids, literacy programs for adults.

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

I wonder if they’ll ever return?

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.

Flashback to her spring win: boltsmag.org/liberals-flip-wis

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

Mr Trump is the first current or former president in US history to face criminal charges….lifted from ABC News app.

I was watching @jillwinebanks read the policy and it seems that maybe the DC Circuit can authorize a camera. Whichever it is, we should all be loud about this a demand a televised trial.
