@georgetakei More accurately, she gave a two day interview to Trump's lawyer masquerading as an employee of the Department Of Justice. In the old days, we would have probably considered this a flavor of espionage, but these days it's just privilege as usual.
Grandfather. Keen political instincts. I remember him saying that the GOP wanted Trump to run for governor in the early 90s, but that Trump didn't want to do it.
My grandfather was Mario Cuomo's COS for a while, other roles too. He told me that this was going to happen when I went to visit with him in 2001, a couple of months before 9-11. According to him:
NY GOP was in bed with Russia in the 80s The GOP was going to go over to Putin. Trump was going to be president w/strong backing from the evangelicals.
I excused myself to the bathroom because I thought his mind was slipping. It sounded so insane.
I'm just going to say that the worst thing about Covid is parainfectious destruction of the endothelium, brain, and lymphoid spaces. If someone is not afraid of that it is only because they think the rules don't apply to them.
@solarbird This is obvious. They want to build a technocratic hegemony that allows a minority of flunkies to live high on the hog while a nation of carceral slaves does all the work. Think the industrial revolution, only with slaves instead of free urchins.
@hannu_ikonen Literally the worst president of the modern era. He is to American Democracy that which Ephialtes of Trachis was to the Battle of Thermopylae.
I dunno. She's confusing bad faith for a communication error. The WHO was aware of aerosol spread from the very beginning. They embraced denialism for political reasons.
Pollen is a bioaerosol. Grains of pollen have been observed floating more than ten miles from the source.
@Remittancegirl The stock market measures a parasitic burden:
This describes the total physiological strain and resource consumption that parasites impose on a host organism. In biological and ecological contexts, the parasitic load reflects the cumulative impact of parasites on the host's energy, nutritional resources, and overall health. The higher the parasitic load, the more significant the potential negative consequences for the host's fitness, metabolism, and survival.
I wonder what the exchange rate on those neocon soak sessions was... hardly seems worth it to give up a few hundred thousand votes in Pennsylvania for a dozen votes in Wyoming.
Netanyahu let Sinwar out of prison in 2011. How strange that Sinwar attacked Israel the day before Bidi's career ending corruption trial was to begin.
If you ask me, Sinwar's death should serve as a warning to all aspiring Arab elites that see an alliance with Israel as a path to power. Blackmailed parties often come to see their blackmailers as allies when rewards are involved. And when their new allies betray them, the best they can do is lob a stick before they die.
@AnarchoNinaWrites BBC is openly referring to Israel's aim in Lebanon as 'cleansing' now. I don't think this is being done in protest. They just can't see the wrongness in it. @hannu_ikonen
