Donald Trump during his arraignment. Courtroom sketch by 🎨 Jane Rosenberg

Lots going on here. It's empty posturing since Trump's lawyers said he'll turn in. But the appeal to antisemitism, the Soros reference, should give every Jewish voter & anyone concerned about hate reason to reject DeSantis. Believe them when they show you who they are.

Don’t you dare SHARE this photo of election LOSER @KariLake hanging out with a dangerous gang of drag queens.

I can’t believe she survived this incredibly dangerous experience where one of them could have actually given her a hug.

And guess what else Lake did! She let her young daughter to see a drag show at her own home once too.

@NWSPortland Freezing rain?

Perhaps as a result of my trouble ticket, @Jiobit reverted the app in Google Play. I reinstalled. Bluetooth is now ok. In offered to beta test the next release in exchange for free service, & upgrades for fobs/ additional fobs. They said they'd pass that along to their QA Dept.

A rant:

@jiobit fob decided it won't Bluetooth to my phone today. Same phone, same fob, as yesterday.

Spent 2 hours doing "hard" resets on the #jiobit fob, which doesn't get it back to the initial state so really isn't a hard reset; reinstalling the app, rebooting phone; /1ofN

[Seth D. Alford (@[email protected]) @setha45]

Someone didn't check the return value from that call.

I'm suspicious of the @jiobit app upgrade from 4 days ago.

Always check the return value. Generate an error for the user.

Make the old version available for a while.

This applies to systems in general.

End rant./1of3

@RonFilipkowski I still check in over here. And I occasionally write something.

I'm finding Mastodon much more sane. It reminds me of USENET back in the mid 1980s.

Just got onto Post. Initial impression: sorta like Twitter when I first joined. it's too early for me to tell for sure.

@DonaldJTrumpJr A. Name the “many times” cuz “trump” actually REFUSED to trade anyone for Paul Whelan.
In fact, he didn’t even utter his name for the 2 years he was “potus”. Not once.

B. I like my president to not plot a coup, incite an insurrection or steal & likely sell classified documents.

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

@DonaldJTrumpJr Your dad left Paul Whelan in a Russian prison (didn't even mention him) AND then he released 5,000 Taliban fighters.

F I V E T H O U S A N D!!!!!

So there's that.

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

It's wild how so many people on this app are pretending that Paul Whelan wasn't in Russia two whole years while trump was in office, why didn't he bring him home?

[Nina Turner @ninaturner]

@MarshaBlackburn His name is Paul Whelan and his family put out a statement in support of Brittney Griner’s release.

It’s absolutely shameful to go against someone’s family to use them as a political talking point.

[Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur]

Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Arizona, endorses Donald Trump’s call for “termination” of constitutional provisions to rescind the 2020 election after the former president was legitimately defeated.

@lizbon Part of my process is to try out nonsense words that contain the known letters. Sometimes the nonsense word reminds me of a real word which turns out to be the solution.

IIRC, I was surprised that my 4th guess was a word. I expected it to say, "that word is not on the list."

[Seth D. Alford (@[email protected]) @setha45]

@DemocratWit I'm seeing postcard writers over on Mastodon.

@duty2warn Hey folks....

Mastodon is actually pretty great and the learning curve isn't that steep.

I only come here now for my sports follows, check if other follows are switching and to watch the spiral.

[CAL Cordulack 🟧 @CALGenecord]

@duty2warn There is no question in my mind that Russia and/or Saudi Arabia are committed to covering any loses @ElonMusk incurs. They just want to see Twitter greatly if not totally diminished.

I always have a view on things but am willing to readily change when facts warrant. I see none.
