LOLitics 

@lolgop agree but it's still curious to find out why Trump fought **so** incredibly hard to keep his tax returns secrets. is it really just because they show that he is not as rich as he claimed?

Question of the Day: what's a common misconception about a relatively trivial topic that every time you hear it repeated bothers you a lot?

@ChristopherJM Every advertiser still advertising on Twitter or considering doing so should be publicly confronted with this fact.

Closing arguments were made yesterday in the Trump Organization tax fraud trial. The defense tried to pin all of the blame on CFO Allen Weisselberg. The Manhattan district attorney prosecutor highlighted the culture of fraud and deception at Trump Org.

Trump Org could face up to $1.6 million in fines if found guilty. Trump is not charged in this case.

The right to privacy is real, but the solution isn't putting corporations in a shadow realm beyond people's reach.

8/ "Information about our yurts had leaked to the Ukrainian side, and they are already rubbing their hands about covering them with artillery fire," Taphaev says. "Even the bombing of the Crimean bridge would be nothing compared to this possible [attack]."

To avoid this scenario, the Buryats plan to keep the yurts in Rostov along with a rotating cast of shamans and the paraphernalia they need – rams, sacrifices, fires and so on. Buryat soldiers will be able to visit them from mid-December. /end

Great product placement for @yoohoo@twitter.com as Kanye talks about why he likes Hilter and Nazis with Alex Jones on InfoWars

RT @willsommer@twitter.com

Now Kanye is holding up a net of some kind and doing a high-pitched voice to mimic Benjamin Netanyahu, and saying Netanyahu might kill him.
