@CanisVeritum It's not Mitt's party, anymore.

@BLuOXide Also known as a Chevy Cavalier. Badge engineering at it's extreme.

@evamarie Alboran Cognac was a Sun Odyssey boat on charter service. Nice boat.

@evamarie Apparently, they go for sailboats with a spade or skeg rudder and seem less interested in full rudders.

Seems to be a game.

...
House Republicans have inadvertently debunked one of their biggest lies about January 6—that the police opened the doors of the Capitol building so the rioters outside could enter.

I think the primary goal is delay, and they're remarkably successful.

A secondary goal is to "flood the zone with shit" Steve Bannon style. It's cynical, but it seems to work.

The Misfits Russia Is Recruiting to Spy on the West
...
Now Russia is using chat platforms such as Telegram to recruit young, marginalized people, often immigrants and mostly men, to undertake mundane yet damaging acts of spying and sabotage. The approach—low-cost and low-risk for Moscow’s spy services—allows Russia to stoke anti-Western sentiment and reap potentially important intelligence while letting their recruits take the fall.

@Maude I'm tracing it back to a Twitter MAGA account from April 27th. Nothing on mainstream media, but I'd be curious to know if he actually said anything that extreme.

@Maude Do you have a source?

@SFAstroStone I'm embarrassed by how many of his movies I've seen.

@bluesbaby They did it to the other end, too.

@Copacetic_vibe If Trump wants to campaign on Copacabana Beach it's his right. The Bolsonaro crowd probably love him.

@MookyTroubadour @thedisasterautis Bomber Harris would have been at Nuremberg.

But casualty figures from Dresden were greatly exagerated by the Nazi propaganda machine, and there were legitimate military targets in the city -- it was a major rail transport and communication centre, housing 110 factories and 50,000 workers supporting the German war effort.

@thedisasterautist Most war crimes are small unit level, often of surrendering troops or against vulnerable civilians, but the big US one in Korea was the No Gun Ri massacre.

@AnneW @Chiefb2 You don't need a CRBA to be a citizen.

@cmajuscula @Chiefb2 His dad was born and raised in New York. He was born in Canada and moved to the US at age 2. He was issued a social security no., etc.

This is the kind of bureacratic sh*t you contact your congressman about.

@Chiefb2 "his father was American"

He's American.

@EvilBunny They'll probably let him have one he can access.

@jjGravitas @Maude The worst kind. One in his own mind.
