@LiteraryMouse this is a misleadingx take, IMHO. If you understand the Senate and the obstructionist, nihilist GOP, you know that there are more important things that would be sacrificed for the satisfaction of watching a failed impeachment trial. The GOP will not vote to convict. Period.

Somebody put roses on cars in a Walmart parking lot Monday. The local sheriff posted to Facebook looking for suspects, calling it a “human trafficking technique.” It went viral. QAnon moral panic. Turns out they were leftover roses from Valentine’s Day. 10tv.com/article/news/l…

A Must Follow for word lovers and haters alike.

Fewer people developed blood clots from the Johnson and Johnson vaccine than were murdered at a FedEx facility last night. Perhaps we need a pause on firearms.

Caution: there is a big difference between a defendant who flips/cooperates & one who testifies because they're essentially forced to by a grant of immunity. Meadows sounds like the later.

나비 ​♀ Radical Jesus 🇵🇸 Wounded people act from their wounds. So many angry people, so little empathy.

Raffi Cavoukian 🇨🇦 There can be no sense when there are so many wounded peoples, so much hatred, so little empathy or understanding. Too many demagogues for whom violence, conquest and power are the goals. Too many stressed, scared people and waaay too much manichaen thinking.

A RUSSIA CONNECTION? The hostilities among the Saline AK GOP seems to have started with a disagreement over.... WHAT? Aid to Ukraine????? Really? I Wonder whether Russia managed to influence MAGAs in rural AK. salinerepublicans.com/2024/05/03/no-…
