In 1770, John Adams successfully defended British officer Captain Thomas Preston and eight soldiers against murder charges following the Boston Massacre (arguing self-defense against an unruly mob).

Susan, you blocked me over on Twitter because I think you misread this reply to a right-wing troll as being a reply to you.

Yeah, but doesn't her hair look great on TV?

Never mind, I figured it out in my settings.

Trump and Musk are like villains from a Dickens story.

The one R&B album that John Bonham adored John Bonham may have been one of the most solid rock and roll drummers, but he did have a funky soul behind his animalistic tendencies.

Hey, did you know that John Bonham was a Hall and Oates fan?

We called it Social Studies in the '80s.

The US has always been a wobbly democracy. The wealthy and the powerful have always tried to run things behind the scenes, and often they have.

Rita was actually Hispanic, but with Hollywood's help was able to pass for white.

Yes, every bad thing Trump does will be because Biden pardoned Hunter, lol.

But the originalists also argue for decades that the right to privacy (the basis of Roe) was invented by the Warren Court.

Le Monde writes that the Ukrainian Armed Forces, with the help of electronic warfare, have learned to change the coordinates of enemy Shahed drones and redirect them back to Russia and Belarus.

Thanks to "spoofing," 43 attack drones flew into Belarus on November 24-26 alone.

It always takes this long to count the votes in CA after a major election.

He's done nothing to be reported about. I'm just going to block him.

Why do you keep changing the subject? Trump's not going to pick a Democrat.
And no, he's going to cut taxes for the rich.
Tariffs will be a tax on EVERYONE.
It's no wonder you support Trump. You're a hopelessly confused and ignorant person.

So if the courts have found people guilty who later turned out to be innocent, you clearly wouldn't believe them if Gaetz was convicted, would you?
Some things are plainly visible to anyone who eyes to see and a functioning brain.
I don't like Pam Bondi, but she's not a rapist & drug user.

That's how they'll deal with any future pandemic here. Just deny that it's happening.

You know how many criminals have gone scot free throughout human history?
You don't care, which pretty much sums your crippled morality.

GOP members of Congress have said publicly that he's bragged about having sex with underage girls, drug use and other things.
Why did he quit early instead of staying until January? Why was he the only vote against a human trafficking bill in 2017?

Matt Gaetz does.

Though he did say in his resignation letter he would not be coming back in January for the next term.

21.11.2024 17:46 ๐Ÿ‘ 1 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

He would probably have quit anyway.
