Random paranoid thought for a Saturday night ...
What if #Russia #Putin decides to launch nuclear weapons at #Ukraine the morning of January 20, in the last hours of the #Biden administration? He will know that #Trump will be president within hours and will do nothing. The US leadership will be effectively decapitated.
Europe will need to be on standby.

#Florida SAT scores have been in decline since 2017. #DeSantis was elected governor in 2018, just sayin'.

#SpaceX began after Elon went to Russia hoping to buy an ICBM to send a greenhouse to Mars. The Russians laughed at him -- according to legend, one spat on his shoes. He was so mad, he decided to start his own rocket company.
22 years later, Elon and #Putin are best buddies, and Elon is Vader to the #Trump Palpatine.
What if the Russians had said yes and sold him an ICBM?
History turned on that moment.
#RedOne This film has the potential to be quite demented.
It looks like #Sara is all but kaput. The image is courtesy Mike's Weather Page on Facebook. Sara's path will take it over the Yucatan, which will rob it of most of its potency. It may dissipate.

#Politics The US elected the Penguin to be President. We shouldn't be surprised that the rest of the supervillains were nominated by him to the Cabinet.
Not a joke! The Onion bought Infowars!
Matt Gaetz resigned from Congress yesterday just before the House releases its investigative report into his activities with underage women. Now they can't kick him out, only refer the report to #DOJ -- which he will run, if confirmed.
It's up now to the Republican-led Senate to keep Gaetz out of the attorney general's office, otherwise the investigation goes away.
