A small bit of good news in
Some - not a majority - Palestinians blame Hamas for inciting and prolonging the war without concern for their suffering. Add these to Israelis - probably a majority - who blame Netanyahu for inviting and prolonging the war without concern for their suffering. There's a nucleus of rational people who would rather live in peace than kill one another endlessly.

In honor of Free Feral Cat Spay Day, a pic of Mama Cat with her clipped ear, indicating she has now been spayed. She had a litter under our porch this winter. We were able to catch her, have her spayed, and then released back into her world.

We were able to capture and tame two of her kittens and they are now cuddly members of our family.

This is not what I wanted to hear, but this judge has been correct most of the time.
“I’m profoundly disturbed about the apparent direction of the court. I now believe that it is unlikely Trump will ever be tried for the crimes he committed in attempting to overturn the 2020 election.” - former federal judge J. Michael Luttig

"The justices seem to think that the power they apparently just handed Donald Trump can’t be used against them someday."

I wish Biden would say something off the cuff, like "I'm watching this presidential immunity thing. If it turns out I have absolute immunity, we're going to start fixing some things around here, and I'm staying in office to see it through."

It isn't a surprise that many college kids support Hamas. They use platforms like TikTok, which are rife with disinformation, are primarily taught the bad things about what Western nations did, aren't given any boundaries, and quite honestly can't handle the least amount of criticism. It makes them very easy targets for propaganda campaigns.

As he's on trial for accounting fraud to disguise hush money payments as legal fees to undermine the 2026 election, how is Trump paying his legal fees? Seemingly by illegally disguising PAC funds laundered to his own use as legal fees, evading campaign finance laws to undermine the 2024 election. Well, it worked once so why not?

To the simple lay person there is, at least, an APPEARANCE of conflict of interest, when THREE justices appointed by Trump, and one other justice who had a spouse urging the Trump coup, do not recuse them self from THE pivotal case about Trump.

The appearance of…

@dauphin87

yes, that was part of the deal

national enquirer buys story, has "victim" them sign exclusivity, NDA, yada yada. David Pecker would tell Trump, bury the stroy, and Trump would use Michael Cohen and shell companies to pay David Pecker and the victim

There is an audio conversation that Cohen recorded where Trump thought they could wait until after the Election and not have to pay Stormy Daniels.

which kind of blows up the "Didn't want Melania to know" excuse

We should take bets on how many days people think Don Snoreleone's going to be able to sit in that courtroom without going completely ballistic no matter the consequences of it, which he will say don't apply to him anyway.

I give it 8 or 9 days so middle of next week May 1st. May Day....he fucking explodes like a gaseous supernova like Nicholson does in A Few Good Men and destroys himself.

$20 bucks goes to CoSo if he does it before or after that day.

..As soon as I installed it, it began asking for my contacts, which I refunded, thinking to test whether it was usable without such access.

Then I received a spam message - the only message I've received on the app. The scammer somehow found me in minutes despite my being listed nowhere and not using the app yet. I shudder to think what the spammers might do to all my friends if I turned over my address book.

What do you think? Is WhatsApp usable or is my best option to buy some Apple device?
