@MalcolmNance @denvercunning Quick, separate question: I've seen lots of ads for various keepsakes (key fobs, etc.) supposedly made in Ukraine from destroyed Russian AFVs. Are any of these online shops legit?

@DrJillStein @KamalaHarris Go talk to Putin, you self-deluded traitorous piece of crap.

@astoundconnects I have an issue with my RCN e-mail account, specifically that it's refusing to send an e-mail on the grounds of spam content. It's just an e-mail to a genealogy researcher in Europe, and there's nothing spam about it.
This kind of thing has happened before!

@LakotaMan1 Somebody wrote that if you're an American, your ancestry is from Native Americans, immigrants, refugees and/or slaves. There are no other possibilities.

It should outrage is all that under our current capitalist system, a company like Walmart shares profits with shareholders while subsidizing their workers with taxpayer dollars.

Workers should be benefiting from those profits.

[Jeff Tiedrich @itsJeffTiedrich]

listen up, stupids:
Donald Trump told you the FBI planted documents. you believed that lie.
then he told you that he did take the documents, but he declassified them with his mind. you believed that lie.
then he told you that he returned everything. you believed that lie.
then he told you that he didn't have to return anything, because they belonged to him. you believed that lie.
then he told you that he would have returned them, but he was too busy to. you believed that lie.
now he's telling you that the tape of him bragging about having classified war plans is fake news, and you're going to believe that lie, too.
I have one question:
when the fuck are you finally going to get tired of being lied to

This morning, Donald Trump raged at Fox News for showing 'Horrible' pictures of him: "3 people in New Hampshire asked me why Fox News uses such 'horrible' pictures of me when doing or promoting a story"

Donald Trump has a very fragile ego. Please don't retweet this "horrible" Trump picture

The IRS brings in $12 for every $1 it spends auditing the top 10% highest income taxpayers. But House Republicans keep trying to defund the IRS so the ultra-rich get away with tax cheating. We need to increase IRS funding — not cut it. https://t.co/2H6NKxc8Xq

@astoundconnects I'm astounded at how shitty your “tech support” is.
I've had an intermittent issue with e-mail (not webmail), but now it's gotten more frequent.
Called “tech support” today, explained the issue, got transferred, explained the issue again, then they dropped the call.
Astounding

BREAKING: The New York Times declares that there are “numerous signs” that Trump, Rudy Giuliani, and “perhaps a dozen or more of Trump’s allies” will be criminally charged by Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis for trying to steal Biden’s win — and that the charges can come as soon as next month.

The New York Times also says that “nearly 20” of Trump’s allies are “targets who could face charges, including Rudy Giuliani and David Shafer, the head of the Georgia Republican Party."

This is a MASSIVE deal, because these are potential RICO racketeering charges — which are far more serious and carry a far lengthier prison sentence than the charges stemming from the Stormy Daniels case.

Please RT and smash the ❤️ if you’re thrilled that Trump is about to face MAJOR consequences!

explain to me again why it's ok for a nuclear spy to get three Supreme Court picks. explain it to me like I’m 5

Retweet if you still think members of Congress and their families should be banned from trading stocks.

Hey do you think Trump will be tried as an adult?

Socialism is a scare word they've hurled at every advance the people have made. Socialism is what they called public power, social security, deposit insurance, and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for anything that helps all people.

[Steve Vladeck @steve_vladeck]

I’m confused: How can Trump be so sure that he declassified the evidence that the FBI planted?

[Stephanie Ruhle @SRuhle]

Law enforcement did NOT "RAID" Trump's home.
They did not kick down the door.
They did not pounce in the dark of night.

However, law enforcement did ALL of the above to Breonna Taylor.

@amnesty Are you people crazy, or just pro-Russian?
Ukraine is trying to defend populated areas that were attacked by Russia and from which they have tried to evacuate civilians.
You're off my donation list permanently.

Beefing up IRS enforcement is good, actually. Collecting all unpaid federal income taxes from the richest 1 percent would generate an estimated $1,750,000,000,000 over a decade.
