There's a new player in the 'fake updates' arena. Thanks to @rmceoin for initially posting about it here.
@DemocracyMattersALot So he's proposing mob rule. That's never worked out.
@Jgbird A Little Green! Nice shot.

Republican billionaires have a long history of funding ghost candidates, fake independents, and faux populists.
Republicans don't run in elections, they cheat at them. They game elections. Now they intend to overturn elections.
What's weird is how often they cheat themselves. They've been repeatedly ripped off by conmen & grifters.

@olav Good thing I'm patient. I may be waiting a long time.
Although broadband is available just about everywhere here now, even the most rural areas.
@olav What shocks me is how few of today's West Virginians know their own history or know anything about the uprisings.
Donald Trump and his ilk (rich guys from New York and New England) are exactly the people who owned the coal mines and did the oppressing. But that's long forgotten by the people here.

I think I'm the only Mastodon user in the State of West Virginia.
Prove me wrong.
@jbwharris @Npars01 @MostlyHarmless Yes, if I was a member of Trump's inner circle I'd be very worried these days. You know he's not going to be a gallant hero and keep his mouth shut. He'll spill everything and make stuff up to take as many down with him as possible. "It's all their fault. They screwed me."
@msbellows @Npars01 @MostlyHarmless Hah! Yes. It is what's required but it won't happen.
@Npars01 @MostlyHarmless I'm hoping. On the other hand, revealing the information seems to have no effect. People are apathetic and definitely unwilling to actively do something about it. They're so busy trying to survive they have no time or energy for anything else. (This is not an accident.) The Republicans know this, of course.

It's fun that some folks think a secret group of rich people control everything instead of the widely known group of rich people who control everything.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott gives orders to kill migrant children.
Texas troopers told to push children into Rio Grande, records say https://www.houstonchronicle.com/politics/texas/article/border-trooper-migrants-wire-18205076.php
@Npars01 @MostlyHarmless Yeah, and they know there isn't a single thing we can do about it.

@sergio_101 Well then, please jump in. There are 27,000 of us, eager to make QSOs. SKCC members will slow down as slow as you need or some can go fast. Some just want to exchange numbers with a basic QSO. Others like to ragchew. Some of us do Marathon QSOs that last over an hour.
See you on the air! VY 73 DE KW2P, SKCC 24677.
Remember to use the sked page to see what's going on and set up QSOs in real time. https://sked.skccgroup.com/
