@miracles7k Actually, they’re quite likely weights that kept a clock running. My mom had a cuckoo clock she bought back in the ‘60’s with weights that looked exactly like that.
@Jacque10@AccountableGOP Basically, we have statutes (aka laws) proscribing certain actions, and some specify that anyone who violates those laws has committed a felony. If you need further explanation, try an elementary school social studies text.
@Jacque10@AccountableGOP Specifically, as Time explains: “Trump was charged in a 15-page indictment…by a grand jury, with 34 counts of violating NY Penal Law 175-10 in the 1st degree, which is a felony…when a person falsifies business records with an intent to defraud…or conceal another crime….”
@BehizyTweets A fool & his money, parted.
With all the poor fools in MAGAtland now surely rushing to sign over their life savings to console The Biggest Victim & fund his bid to become Dictator Supreme, the Orange Cheat “billionaire” needs no $$ from the rich…hallucinating “yuge” tax cuts?
@Rainmaker1973 Excellent bit of history, I enjoyed the read. Thanks for sharing that. She was a very courageous young woman; deserves a statue or something in Obol, or maybe at the site of her execution….
@GenFlynn It was Trump threatening to pull out of NATO, insulting our allies, passing secrets to Russia and generally losing us the confidence of our longtime partners that created the current geopolitical climate of mistrust. And they see that Trump may be back next year… no surprise.
@Phantom2Phlyer@GeorgeTakei Yes, religious leaders are free to speak and influence their flock (for the worse, in most cases). But when states and municipalities want to have Christian prayers spouted over loudspeakers at schools and posted in public spaces, that is de facto establishing a state religion.
@TizzyEnt “Liberty” has become a code word for MAGA, who think their “liberties” (as they misidentify them) are being stolen away by our gov’t & everyone who is not white. I knew what to expect from this group as soon as I saw the name. Not at all surprised.
@GavinNewsom Here’s the actual context, clear from the entire sequence of events: The City tried to ban future Pride events based on allegations of “lewd” behavior at the previous year’s event, namely, men in drag dancing, exactly like women dance—w/o threat of future bans. Drag ≉ lewd, sex.
@PS5Console For all those asking, “Why”: Because Sony is a company with some standards and morals, unlike today’s “X” under Elon Let-All-the-Trolls-Post-Anything Musk….
@xThrawn@NoMoreWar54@GeorgeTakei And therein lies the problem: The self-righteousness of the Israelis that whatever they do is blessed by “God.” Blaise Pascal said centuries ago, and it holds just as true today:
"Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction."
@Bubblebathgirl@GavinNewsom She’ll be the only black woman, one of only a few women in the Senate, and the first black lesbian to openly serve there. If you have such a problem with promoting diversity that says more about you than Newsom, and you’re the insulting one.
@GavinNewsom She has been a Californian since 2009, where she’s worked for both Newsom & Kamala. Like many who work in D.C., she has a residence nearby, in MD. Check your facts before you go off on an ill-informed rant.
@AdamSchiff The responses to this post just confirm for me this platform has been overrun by MAGA idiots. Elon Musk cares nothing about integrity or truth. He has destroyed this platform and should be ashamed, but like most of today’s Republicans he has stifled that crucial human emotion.
@BarackObama Only the person themself (or his/her MD) can know how age has affected his/her mind. Some 90 year olds are just as clear-headed as they were at 20; others, not so much. They may be out of touch with younger voters, but you can’t just put an age limit on political service.
@corgratech @StephenKing SHE doesn’t “provide” those jobs. The whole of GM does. Why does she need $29M/y to run it?! Quit confusing the people who take advantage of their positions to enrich themselves to outrageous degrees, the greedy and self-important, with those who actually do the real work.
@MoFoMike23@JamesPikeHunter@EdKrassen Well, it’s apparently so awful (if you’re Republican, or a certain strain of “Christian” parent) that in FL classrooms you’re not allowed to mention that gays even exist, so…seems those bigots would feel defamed if they were accused of being “that way” (can’t say the word!).
