Trump has posted a mock video and photo of President Biden, bound and gagged, in the back of a pick up truck.
-The Secret Service and/or FBI
would long ago have been at
our door.
-That photo would have us held
in jail.
Makes a threat to our President and Trump is still sitting at home... posting threatening messages to a judge and his daughter. He's making a mockery of our judicial system.
And, being allowed to get away with it.

Stochastic Terrorism is far more dangerous when it made by a person of power. Donald Trump, a former US president and a current presidential candidate, is a Stochastic Terrorist. This is not an opinion – it's an objective fact.

Politician decried "illegal invaders" at the Detroit airport. They were college basketball players arriving for the Sweet 16.

IMHO: America needs more immigrants, fewer bigots.

@tristansnell on post.news:

Donald Trump has a private jet.
Donald Trump lives in private clubs.
Donald Trump assembled a private militia to attack the Capitol.

Now he gets his own private system of justice — available to him alone.

NO ONE ELSE would get the special treatment he gets.

NO ONE should.

“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.”

― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark

George Santos left the Republican Party because it’s too embarrassing.

Today on the @nicolesandler show Marcy talked about Lev Parnas' allegation that Bill Barr knew of his & #RudyGiuliani 's search for dirt on #HunterBiden from the time he was confirmed- Feb. 2019.
In Lev's book he explains the tricks used to keep him out of the impeachment case. Here's @emptywheel talking about #LevParnas & what he alleged #BillBarr knew & when he knew it. Watch the whole @nicolesandler show here.: https://youtu.be/eeBbFesbmVY?si=7zTFAn8WJPVGbobE

Snark aside, this is particularly bothersome because it shows a suppressed self-awareness.

They know that overt antisemitism touches the third rail, so they're very sensitive to the fact that they're touching it.

Essentially, they're protesting too much. If it's not antisemitism, that should be clear without them reminding you constantly.

I just finished a piggy bank for my almost-two-year-old. It's made of solid oak, and opens with the correct 3 digit code. I designed the locking pins such that the code can easily be changed.

I'm pretty proud of how it turned out!

Pretty fun drive up outing with the KH1. Parked, stepped away from the car and got on the air. I worked every band with the whip (AX1 extension and 33' counterpoise for 30 and 40m). Wrapped things up with a cross-mode QSO on 40m. K6ARK touch paddles worked great! #HamRadio #MorseCode #KH1
