Trying to figure our what Gaurav know that we don't!
Good morning #CoSo. Dragging a bit after losing a bunch of sleep to watch my Browns beat the Steelers. Chilly start here in Northern Ohio. Make it a great one.
@MotherDucker Thank you. Done.
@Liliki @stuckinaredstate
Think I will make a batch and freeze some for the winter!

My Black Bean Soup for an Instant Pot (dried beans) or with stove top instructions (canned beans). Hearty, filled with veg and spice, vegan. Jalapenos optional.
Enjoy.

Senate Judiciary Committee
@JudiciaryDems
CONFIRMED: Amir Ali to the District of D.C.
Mr. Ali is an accomplished litigator, and his career in private practice and at a non-profit law firm makes him an outstanding nominee.
He will be an asset to the federal bench on day one.

CoSo feels like real people sitting on a train swapping stories just for the sake of connecting to other humans.Some use the train often.Some just passing through. Nobody is looking to get famous from their train ride.
Some are reading a book.Some listening to music.Some are thumbing through their phones or a magazine.Some sharing their passion or craft.Some just typing to let it out. Like the internet b4 monetization.
It’s a nice train & J keeps it safe+clean.
Thank you & #HappyBirthdayCoso 🎂

This is not spinning. Nevertheless I demand to see video of it with an equal number of people walking in both directions at the same time.
@kel I love this movie!
🤣@Tacitus_Kilgore Ain't that the truth. My kids are younger, 20-26 (four of them) and I make sure they understand not only the present, but to look to the past. They don't always do it, but I keep trying. These next few years will need all the hindsight we can get!
Peace to you and yours! We need to keep up the fight, and I cannot think of a better platform to do that than Counter Social!
@Tacitus_Kilgore I am 60 and my dad taught history in high school. I am glad there are still historians around!
@Tacitus_Kilgore
Very thought-provoking thread. Thank you!

Having weakened American resolve and isolating them it allows countries loyal to Putin to enter into the fray.
China and NK will make their moves in Asia, while Europe will become a larger battleground. Having NATO shunned by Trump means that America will have less support when they attempt to react to China and NK. They basically have taken America out of the equation.
This in turn will leave Israel vulnerable, at least in the short term, because Europe won't be able to fight on two fronts.
