Remember don't throw things at your TV today if you watch the Trial! Try not to curse our Government out & remember there's still Senators, both D&R, who believe in upholding Laws & whom hold the fate of our nation in their hands; I hope they remain focused & act as adults, not bickering little ninnies🤷‍♀️☕
Stay warm, stay safe, & remember #australia is still burning. For our #coso Australians, keep checking in; we may be worlds apart, but we're keeping you close in our hearts; we care💙

I'm sure you've all seen this by now. Was just watching CNN present the rules submitted by the Republicans.

They want to Depose witnesses and decide whether to let them testify after an initial approval deposition? And both sides get to have their say over a 24 hour period each, over two days?

How is this a fair and impartial trial? And, do all criminals get these rights in the lower courts?

Oh, if I lived in days of yore
I'm pretty sure
I'd be a bard
And play upon a lute or lyre.
My songs would set the hall on fire
And folks would dance
And sing and prance
When I drew near
To play upon a luscious lyre
And warm their hearts
With songs of fire.

Megan Phelps-Roper was a member of the Westboro Baptist Church family, standing on picket lines holding hateful signs before she was even old enough to read them. Then they put her in charge of their Twitter account. And in the midst of all the outrage and hate, some Twitter users touched her heart and led her to leave her family's church. She has a TED talk analyzing how those users were effective:

Yes... that's a narwhal tusk.

Lev Parnas' account has now been conclusively validated. The SDNY prosecutors were wrong, and went into the interview without doing their homework.
