Face it. Trump will be the GOP nominee and we've learned a lot about what that will mean.

So anyone who is not a supporter of Trump will have a very serious decision to make: Vote for the one electable option no matter what you think of Biden, or endure 4 years* of vindictive revenge-based rule by a man who thinks he's persecuted. Evey enemy or perceived slight will be attacked, every gain will be dismantled.

* - a man who's already said "I won't leave"

Trump just told his supporters to go into democrat cities and “guard the vote”

Voter intimidation
Judge intimidation
Witness intimidation

And can anyone tell me what happened last time he asked a bunch of his supporters to show up en masse?

Israel insists the Palestinian prisoners released in the swap have committed crimes. Journalist Jeremy Scahill went through the list of 300 and found 233 hadn’t even been charged. The remaining 67 are charged with resisting their occupation, a legal right under international law.

Hey, if you're the type of person that can start typing a reply to an argument, then decide that actually it's not worth bothering with and delete the reply, I want you to know:

You're doing fantastic, and you should be proud of yourself. I wish more people had that kind of restraint.

This is my first post on Mastodon. I am usually to be found on www.unmannedspaceflight.com but I will be sharing space-related images here as well.

NY Times has some great reporting here: Just as the administration of George W. Bush blew off warnings of the 9/11 attacks, Netanyahu's government blew off highly specific warnings a year ago about the Hamas plans.

Should Gal Godot marry Al Pacino and change her name to Gal Pacino?

Please boost for awareness. If it gets enough votes then she has to do it. That is how the internet works.

George Santos was just kicked out of Congress. He has 68 fewer charges than Trump.

I waited a couple of days to see if any mainstream big outlets took this up with the same volume they do when Trump shows up ahead in polls.

Unsurprisingly, it’s not being covered.
