@rainbowrdhead Some of the stuff Mickey did with the late 4.0 heists which were presumably for Hermes involved heavy military armaments and/or weapons - so it was already kind of canon

@xx_Kellyyy I like that Rhodes is actually standing up to Mr. C, far too many in the city simply cow tow to him because he's a "rich" Casino owner.

@g0thb4byd0ll_ @jeongchanlover Unfortunately, Dimoak was not streaming, as if often the case.

A new penguin species has been identified for the first time in more than 100 years.

Scientists identified Pygoscelis kerguelensis, a previously unknown gentoo penguin species living on the remote Kerguelen Islands in the Indian Ocean, about 1,200 miles north of Antarctica.

Our first act is now available on YouTube!

Three vampires explore the future of San Francisco and encounter an ancient threat resting beneath their feet.

What has been sleeping beneath the city? And why is it waking now?

New cat species just dropped.

Meet Leopardus tilcayo, or the tilcayo tiger cat.

It’s smaller than a housecat, lives in Bolivia’s Yungas forest ecoregion, and is the first new living cat species discovered in more than 100 YEARS. 🧵⬇️

A new species of cat has been identified for the first time in a century—and experts think that there may be even more to discover around the world: https://t.co/woOXXxJOXB

[National Geographic @NatGeo]

New cat alert! A call from a wildlife sanctuary about a "weird cat" has led to the first new cat species discovered in over 100 years in Bolivia’s Yungas forest ecoregion. Learn more about this feline surprise: https://t.co/crffXvPqH4

@raegularclips very refreshing take.

[Anonymous @YourAnonCentral]

Trump offers a bribe of $5,000 in exchange for votes, the bribe is promoted as a dividend and would cost $1.2 trillion dollars. This is a felony under 18 U.S.C. § 597, bribing someone to vote a certain way is a federal crime punishable by prison.

@blauskiii Roleplay podcast when? I recall hearing Friday the 4th.

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

Republicans spent years demanding answers about Hunter Biden.

MS NOW asked them about 15 companies backed by Trump’s sons receiving $3.2 billion in federal support.

Suddenly, they had nothing to say.

Apparently, corruption only matters when a Democrat can be blamed.

🇺🇸🇺🇸🧐🤔“AND YOU STILL DARE TO OPEN YOUR MOUTH…”

Sasha Legerman: This is too accurate not to share.

This Australian’s response to Trump’s rant that “NATO does nothing for America” is absolutely devastating:

“Mate. You run a country where 600,000 homeless people will sleep on the streets tonight.

A country where 40% of adults can’t cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money.

A country where insulin costs more than a car payment, and people ration it just to stay alive.

A country where medical debt is the number one cause of bankruptcy.

A country where women die in hospital parking lots because doctors are too afraid of abortion laws to treat miscarriages.

You imprison more of your own citizens than any country on Earth.
More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea.

In the land of the free, 2 million people sit in cages, and a quarter of them haven’t even been convicted of anything.
They’re simply too poor to afford bail.

Your life expectancy is declining. You’re the only developed nation where that’s happening.

Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba’s.

Your children practice active shooter drills between math and English classes while you sell defense stocks to your friends.

Your minimum wage hasn’t changed in 15 years.

Your teachers work two jobs, your veterans sleep under bridges, and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that never attacked you.

And now a convicted criminal — found liable for sexual abuse, defending a pedophile, sleeping with a porn star, and running the biggest dumpster-fire campaign since the Taliban — is thanking you for yet another disaster.

And you call Greenland badly governed?

Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world.
Nobody there goes bankrupt because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because insurance refused treatment.

‘NATO wasn’t there when we needed them.’

When exactly was that, champ?
September 11?

Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU.

Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU.

Australia wasn’t even in NATO, and we still showed up. For twenty years.

And then you left at 2 a.m. without telling anyone and left everybody else to clean up the mess.

You don’t care that a great nation is being terrorized by your friend, and you haven’t shown it a single ounce of sympathy.

So maybe before calling other countries badly governed, take a look at your own backyard, you aluminum siding salesman with a spray tan.

The only thing badly managed in this picture is your damn mouth.

And you still dare to lecture the rest of the world?”

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

Capital One cheats customers and gets caught.

They agree to pay back $2.2 billion.

Then they donate $1 million to Trump.

Poof! Settlement canceled.

Cap One pockets $2.2 billion instead.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

🚨MAJOR BREAKING: A massive report exposes that Trump purchased $100,000,000 in bonds tied to companies DIRECTLY impacted by his policies. That is slam dunk insider trading and is IMPEACHABLE.

Overall, Trump has made an estimated $3.4 BILLION in just one year and 6 months.
