Yet they grind exceeding small.
Though with patience stands he waiting
With exactness grinds he all.

The Bondi/ Trump doctrine. Child Rapists and Traffickers cannot be questioned, investigated, arrested or even talked about if the stock market is over 50,000. Bondi is giving child rapist and traffickers a free pass. And chid rape survivors will be totally ignored by DOJ. #ProudBlue #USDemocracy

Regulations are what keeps ordinary Americans healthy and, often, alive.

The moral test of government is how it treats those who are in the dawn of life… the children; those who are in the twilight of life… the elderly; and those who are in the shadow of life… the sick… the needy… and the disabled.

Norway’s Prime Minister just did what grown leaders do: explain reality.
Our allies guard the northern flank of the United States.
Undermining them isn’t tough.
It’s reckless.
Strength without understanding is just noise.👇

The Epstein victims stood behind Bondi and she wouldn’t even look at them.
When asked about the men who raped them, here is what she said…….. I guess it’s what Trump told her to fit in somewhere.

It’s not every journalist there but I personally know that the New York Times has in recent years published lies without any fact checking
And I know this with complete confidence because the lies were about me and I know that no fact checkers contacted me

Aided by genAI models like ChatGPT, “writers” hoping to get paid for fake stories have become an even bigger problem for publications big and small. One such writer almost pulled one over on COYOTE — until @soleilho.com, who is a nerd, spotted a key idiosyncrasy.

True story.
If a PM loses a non-confidence vote, OR PM can call an election early to try for a majority government. They ask Governor General of Canada (Kings representative) to dissolve parliament. New election is called and we vote around a month later. We've voted for PM 2x within a yr
