@br00t4c Okay, as long as we apply the same standard to testimony Trump has given over the past 6 years.
Deal? No deal?
@TruthSandwich @fatsam The latter I think because it would explain the collapsing buildings, drooping power lines, and leaning power poles.
@DemocracyMattersALot I've suspected this since the start or Jack Smith would not have taken the case. He has plenty of other corrupt politicians around the world to prosecute.
@lin11c Yes, I believe this is why Amdt 14, Sec 3 was put there in the first place. None of those people should be allowed anywhere near government.
@TruthSandwich @fatsam Yes, I've wondered the same, but it seems universal, including young people born into wealth here. It's just a West Virginia thing.
@fatsam I've wondered since I moved to West Virginia if there isn't a genetic connection to back problems. Here, virtually everyone has a "bad back" -- old people, young people, everyone. In contrast, back problems are unheard of in anyone related to me.

For my non German-speaking followers: several hundred thousand people are in the streets today in Germany to protest against fascism following the uncovering of deportation plans for migrants, foreigners and non-conform Germans projected by the AfD party #noafd

🐝 The outrageous EPA loophole that's killing bees 🐝
Bee-killing pesticides called neonicotinoids are 1,000 times more toxic to bees than DDT, and they're contributing to a massive bee die-off across the country.
And yet, if these toxic pesticides are applied as seed coatings rather than sprayed on crops, they are unregulated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

If you actually want to change EVERYTHING here, we need more than a president. We need to own 60 seats in the Senate and take the House. If you don't understand that, then you DON'T GET HOW THE GOVERNMENT WORKS.

😅 "Bradley" crew that destroyed T-90M tank gave an interview, and the gunner said that he remembered the weak point of the tank from the game War Thunder.

Hey, @pluralistic!
Just wanted to let you know that people in Germany are finally on the streets right now.
There are many more on the streets during this weekend.

@knittingknots2 Yep. Old geezer here too. Lol. These young whippersnappers have no idea.
@knittingknots2 I guess she doesn't know much history. She might start by reading the verse of The Star Spangled Banner that we no longer sing.
(Francis Scott Key was not only a slave trader but a slave breeder.)

@rgulick The choice is clear. Democrats put the money in. Republicans take the money out. The last four Democratic Presidents have created 65 million jobs combined since 1977. Donald Trump lost 3 million jobs. Democrats believe in civil rights. Republicans want to go back to Jim Crow. Democrats believe in protecting allies like #Ukraine. Republicans oppose. Democrats believe in science. Republicans don't.

So you think that your #morsecode isn't up to much and are worried you'll make a hash of it on air? CW operators WANT you on air, so just jump on in, please. Øystein LB8IJ sets a great example here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZw_gvOUi5s

Found a picture which appears to show the damage done to the ship Genco Picardy by a Houthis attack. It is consistent with reporting that stated the gangway of the ship was damaged.
Interesting to see the extent of the damage that these attacks can cause.
You can also make out that the railings have been wrapped in razor wire to try to hamper boarding efforts.
The Houthis have successfully boarded at least one large ship this fall and taken it to a port under their control.
