#politics #nopaywall Judgment, not age.
Anna is sad because I won't let her lay on my lap. My legs have been falling asleep more easily, and she always cuts off circulation.
I don't know what is different, but when Chonky lays on me, he lays more on the muscle than the joint and it's not as bad. He also doesn't lay on me as much. Nor is he as bothered if I move him.
Anna cries like it's a punishment if I even try to reposition her.
Anna's crossing all four feet. Chonky wants outside.
#FUNFACT - Let this sink in.
Donald Trump is a felon. His campaign chairman was a felon. So is his deputy campaign chairman, his personal lawyer, his chief strategist, his National Security Adviser, his campaign fixer and his company CFO. They're all felons. And he picked them all.
Yet he's saying his conviction is 'rigged'.
The jury found him guilty on 34 counts. Does Trump not realize how hard it is to get 12 different people to agree on something... 34 times?
Is Alito lying? “ Emily Baden … told The Times this week that it was she — not her then-boyfriend — who used the curse word, saying the verbal altercation took place weeks after the flag was flown outside Alito's home. The outlet obtained a text message and police call that backed up Baden's timeline, calling into question Alito's version of events.”

If Hunter Biden is convicted, I won't vote for him.
See how easy that is, @GOP?
Dude cannot stop criming.

#caturday Fireball thinks I'm so cruel not to let him out at sunset. He doesn't believe in coyotes but I do. Fierce as he is, he would be no match for a pack of hungry coyotes.
Oh he has dozens of ways of showing his displeasure with me. But he still ain't getting out.
ROBERT REICH -
GOPs reps have repeated Trump’s lies that Biden was “behind” the prosecution of Trump; judge Merchan was “conflicted;” Trump’s election expert wasn’t allowed to testify; Merchan instructed the jury that they find Trump guilty even without unanimity; the jury was biased against Trump. I don’t understand how people who have taken an oath to support the U.S. Constitution can lie about what just occurred.
MAGA: “CONVICTING TRUMP WILL CRASH THE STOCK MARKETS!!”

House arrest that would be worse for him than Rikers Island:
Same food as all prisoners
No visitors except immediate family twice a week, only IF they wish to
No TV. Only adult reading level books
WiFi privileges. No attacks on jurors, witnesses, judges, prosecutors, or their families. If he behaves for 10 days then he gets WiFi password for the next 10 days. If he violates conditions and attacks, immediate loss of WiFi for 10 days

#FUNFACT - I started building this place immediately after this article dropped back in 2016, and I called it 'Counter Social' because I wanted it to 'counter' all the influence operations I witnessed on social media on the run up top the 2016 election by Russia.
This article was the catalyst:

Again. I keep coming back to this.
None of this would have happened if he had just been a man and laughed off Obama's sick burning of him. And Obama wouldn't have burned him if he hadn't become Birther Number One.
This is a Sophoclean tragedy, but without anything edifying. A Black man DARED to humiliate him, so he had to get revenge. And, as always, revenge is as ash in one's mouth.
The “collective genius” of the Founding Fathers presumed that the landed white male slave-owning Protestants who made up the American voting class would NEVER, EVER choose someone of SUCH LOW MORALS and ETHICS as a Donald John Trump and thus who needs some foolish and redundant criminal clause?
Woo HOO, joke’s on them.
Pootie certainly is laughing about it.
Ya think Trump is pissed that…
Eric Trump, VP, Trump Inc. didn’t testify on behalf of his Dad
Donald Trump Jr, VP, Trump Inc. didn’t testify on behalf of his Dad
Ivanka Trump, VP, Trump Inc. didn’t testify on behalf of her Dad
Alan Weisselberg, CFO, Trump Inc., didn’t testify on behalf of Trump
And Trump himself was too scared & weak to testify?
