@Roddio In the 1950s, #polio was TERRIFYING. Here I am in Quebec on the St. Lawrence Seaway, far from Massachusetts where polio was running rampant. Nobody knew how it spread, there was no vaccine, no cure, only a long future locked in an iron lung in a polio ward. My parents - probably most parents - were justifiably freaking out. Any MAGA folks old enough to propose a return to these dark days surely had THEIR polio vaccination so THEY’RE safe. Hell needs another circle for these ghouls.

@thedisasterautist

The ego is so big and the brain is so small that he dared hope there was a way no one would find out. Of course, most of us already knew he was a loser, (in more ways than one).

I'm not sure he can mentally survive another criminal trial, (or even the current one). The trial is only now getting ready to begin and already there are signs of wear and tear on him, mentally and physically. It's only going to get worse.

: We have the tapes.

He belongs in prison for the rest of his natural life, and the only compassionate release should be his death in a prison infirmary from syphilis or dementia or Alzheimer's or whatever he has.

Gigantic marine reptile's fossils found by British girl and father
A fossil jawbone found on a beach in Somerset, England, belongs to a gigantic marine reptile dating to 202 million years ago that appears to have been among the largest animals ever on Earth.
The bone was from an ocean-going reptile called an ichthyosaur. Based on its dimensions the researchers estimated that the Triassic Period creature was between 72 and 85 feet (22-26 meters) long.
