I do wonder if we're going to see some websites popping up that kind of hit the reset button on social media and go back to smaller communities of folks with something in common.
I kind of miss the days of actually having online conversations with folks you know are real people (not bots), that aren't trying to be an influencer, or get famous, or some how many money off your interactions.
At this point I'm wondering if there really was a ceasefire.
Everything this guy says is a lie until proven otherwise.
If I were a betting man, it seems very likely he just made the whole thing up. Perhaps he pitched the idea and was turned down by either Israel or Iran (probably both). Went to social media to proclaim his victory. Leading both countries to attach each other to show the whole thing was bullshit.
Let's not forget, he claimed he was the lynch pin behind the India and Pakistan ceasefire, only to have both sides say he wasn't involved at all.
This, in a nutshell, is what is wrong with the Democratic Party.
If one of these folks is your rep, CALL their office and ask them why they voted to table the impeachment vote, and let them know you're thinking seriously about not casting a vote for them the next time you have the opportunity.
Dick Carter, Chair of the Delaware Heritage Commission, states that the name of Murderkill River is taken from the original Dutch for Mother River. Mother is moeder in Middle Dutch, and river is Kille. Later, under British rule, the word "River" was added to the waterway's name, effectively making it "mother river river."
The term "kill" is used in areas of Dutch influence in the Netherlands' former North American colony of New Netherland, primarily the Hudson and Delaware Valleys to describe a creek, river, tidal inlet, strait, or arm of the, sea such as Bronx Kill in New York and Schuylkill River in Pennsylvania.
Delaware's creeks and rivers are slow-moving and there is deep mud associated with marshy rivers. Dutch "modder" = mud, a false cognate to "mother." Modder Kill = Muddy Creek or Muddy River. The word is still used in Dutch, such as this Dutch video of a tractor stuck in mud ("vast in de modder").[12]
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., denounced the incident on the Senate floor. "I just saw something that sickened my stomach. The manhandling of a United States Senator, we need immediate answers to what the hell went on," he said.
Good to know old Chucky is still around. Haven't heard a peep from him in a while.
Interesting timing, with 75 Democrats bowing to the GOP and voting against the party to "[express] gratitude to law enforcement officers, including U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement personnel, for protecting the homeland."
One could argue, those 75 Democrats are the epitome of the old, feckless, Republican-light lawmakers that should be facing primary opposition (which is why Hogg has been kicked out).
If one of your congressmen is on that list, give them a call and voice your displeasure.
So many folks have in Rockland, NY have signed affidavits saying they voted for an independent candidate for the US Senate, but the final tally from the county's Board of Elections doesn't mesh with what voters say they did.
While investigating, they uncovered hundreds of folks who voted for a Democrat for US Senate, but who didn't vote for Harris (which is generally rare).
We'll see where this shakes out, but there have been a few stories over the past several months that show some weird things like this with the election (Nevada election results statistically looking like foreign elections we know Russia meddled in, the recent questions about a software patch being rolled out at the last minute on voting machines).
Perhaps. Looks like both CNN and NBC News have "stories" on their front pages as well.
