@wisewoman Been sayin for years: He has dossiers (provided by Putin) on everybody who is, or could become, anybody.

Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio) office once said the US deficit exists because revenue covers only roughly 80 percent of the $5 trillion the government spends each year. So all GOP tax cutting plans will increase the national debt!
The Santos story gets twisted with a sanctioned Russian billionaire and a whole lotta corporate shell games. Can yo hear the money laundering washing machine going round and round?
No paywall for you, this one's on me: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/01/16/george-santos-andrew-intrater-columbus-nova/

Just had requests for "Jet Airliner" by Steve Miller and "Leaving On A Jet Plane" by Peter, Paul & Mary.
Nice to see at least my listeners have a sense of humor over this FAA fiasco...
@GaryPoole Cool bean! Didn't know you did radio. Bookmarked in my browser, even mads a special WebRadio folder in my Entertainment folder! Thanks for the heads up!
@CaliZaybak The folks on the far right sure do have a profound resistance to repercussions.
Might be a fun gig for a retiree.

@GaryPoole Knew they would be attacking the guy who is working his butt off to get attention and resources to the issues that need fixing. These trolls would blame the fire department for any fires in their towns.

#CoSoNews FAA Update 5: Normal air traffic operations are resuming gradually across the U.S. following an overnight outage to the Notice to Air Missions system that provides safety info to flight crews. The ground stop has been lifted.
We continue to look into the cause of the initial problem

#DeepL primarily provides translation as a service to businesses rather than individuals, and its forte up to now has been working primarily with smaller and medium organizations. Some of those have the potential for a lot of scale: DeepL powers translation on Mastodon, for example.
The company has long competed with the likes of Google and Microsoft on the translation front with the smaller upstart often comparing favorably.
@WILDKATZ Also designed to give criminals information as to what prosecutors know. Probably puts a lot of witnesses working with investigations at grave physical risk. IOW, impeding investigations and witness tampering from Capital Hill. The Coup continues, and it is grabbing the reins of power.
@thewebrecluse Thank you for this great resource link! Very helpful. Will be sharing with my FB friends and even my die hard pal at the bird coup. You are great help for us to find useful info. Much appreciated!
@see_the_sus I wouldn't go that far. Southwest seems to have trouble even telling flight crews which gate they need to go to. Don't even get my daughter going re her change of planes at the Denver Hub. Her & the flight crew kept getting conflicting info from the Southwest flight board, had to move 3 times & had a 2.5 hour delay without reason given. Weather was perfect. She switched airlines and arrived DFW fine and on time last summer. But yeah, update the computers for crying out loud!

Secretary Pete, and anybody flying today is in for a bumpy day.
"A critical Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) system has suffered a glitch, grounding flights across the US according to media reports. "

Two Trump supporters die and go to heaven
God meets them at the pearly gates and asks if they have any questions. One of them says, “Yes, what were the real results of the 2020 election and who was behind the fraud?”
God says, "My son, there was no fraud. Biden won the electoral college fair and square, 306 to 232.”
After a few seconds of stunned silence, the one guy turns to the other and whispers, “This goes higher up than we thought.”
