The churches need to be shut down. Period. They were past their use by date centuries ago. Now they are nothing more than a criminal sex abuse protection racket. Do you wonder why I'm an atheist? Read this and weep. Weep for the victims. It isn't just the minority either. These reports are coming out over and over again. It's a secret cult of evil. Religious people lead a wholesome life? These hypocrites lecture the rest of us about our immoral ways. Just human detritus. That has to be the biggest joke ever if it wasn't so sad. What's the case for allowing this evil to continue? Nothing makes me angrier than church sanctioned sex abuse. One of my best friends was abused in a church boarding school and he committed suicide at a young age after threatening to do it for years.

What's wrong with these people? A right-wing group in Florida got a book about Anne Frank removed from school libraries under a new policy approved by Republican legislators. The Indian River County chapter of Moms for Liberty, a conservative nonprofit group that questions school lessons on racism and other topics they deem controversial, complained about the graphic novel, “Anne Frank’s Diary: The Graphic Adaptation," and got the book pulled from library shelves, https://www.rawstory.com/moms-for-liberty-florida/

Expensive today, junk tomorrow.

Good, the ICC have issued a warrant for her arrest for abducting children and taking them to Russia.

Not buying it.

The difference is that you paid for Trump to bang that porn star. That's why he's in court. Clinton never paid Lewinski hush money, maybe he should have?

Funny, you're singing a different tune when it's the left allegedly committing the fraud.

What annoys me is the people who celebrate Thailand's lax enforcement of laws.

Trump had good reason to rely on the supreme court to protect him. They are corrupt to the core. Any confidence that Americans have in their highest judicial institution should now be dispelled. Clarence Thomas has accepted luxury trips from GOP donor every year without once disclosing them If Thomas had chartered the plane and the 162-foot yacht himself, the total cost of the trip could have exceeded $500,000. Fortunately for him, that wasn’t necessary: He was on vacation with real estate magnate and Republican megadonor Harlan Crow, who owned the jet — and the yacht, too. The extent and frequency of Crow’s apparent gifts to Thomas have no known precedent in the modern history of the U.S. Supreme Court. https://www.rawstory.com/clarence-thomas-2659746976/

Our happy clapping born again nut job PM at the time decided that we would only have AZ vaccines and rejected the more effective and safer mRNA vaccines. After the dung hit the fan, Australia was left without vaccine supplies for some months and we could not leave Australian and citizens were prevented from returning except in small numbers.

Ukraine had a treaty as well. Finland previously had to cede part of its territory to Russia, they don't want a repeat. No they are not. They are required to spend 2% of their GDP on defense which I believe Finland easily exceeds, mainly due to fear of invasion by Russia. They are well aware of the consequences of joining NATO and the majority are in favour. Nothing new there. Rubbish. They are free to defend their own country as they see fit. Finland sees resisting Russia as very much in its own interests, no matter where. They won't, Finland joining NATO just reduced the chances of that quite a lot. Putin is now toast because of this. The Russian military must now see what a disaster this imbecile is.

Conspiracy theories involve many people over long periods of time and are well publicized. Real conspiracies involve few people over a short time ad are kept as quiet as possible.

It goes a lot deeper than that. The entire right wing psyche is deeply associated with education and other observable factors.

Wisconsin and Chicago elections expose liabilities in GOP case for ‘24. The crime-related political attacks didn’t land. Left-leaning Janet Protasiewicz won resoundingly in her bid for the Wisconsin Supreme Court, despite being labeled “No Jail Janet” by her opponents. Democrats noted that her opponent, Dan Kelly, was connected to a plan to reverse the 2020 election results. https://www.politico.com/news/2023/04/05/wisconsin-chicago-elections-expose-gop-liabilities-for-24-00090679

Not the only strong case against Trump. He's toast. Special counsel Jack Smith's criminal investigation into classified documents at Mar-a-Lago is compelling, and a bigger legal threat to former President Donald Trump than the Manhattan Stormy Daniels hush payment prosecution, argued former White House lawyer Ty Cobb on CNN Wednesday evening. https://www.rawstory.com/trump-evidence/

A superior court judge in Delaware overseeing Dominion Voting Systems' $1.6 billion defamation suit against Fox News has ruled that Dominion can subpoena testimony from Fox News leadership, including parent company founder Rupert Murdoch and his son, Fox Corporation CEO Lachlan Murdoch — which Fox News was hoping would be barred from trial. This comes after Dominion has presented reams of internal communications that allegedly show the Murdochs and senior Fox executives and on-air personalities knew election conspiracy theories they were airing were false. https://www.rawstory.com/dominion-voting-v-fox-news/

Prolly off topic but I think the Philips sonic is a better toothbrush.

I hope that Ubuntu does include flatpack. I only use the UI to click on the icons to open apps, nothing more so I don't care if I use unity or gnome. My issues with snap started recently with the Slack app which continually crashed until I installed it under apt. Now I have been purging it from my system. My reason for installing Windows 11 is because I use flutter for cross platform development and having unresolved issues with unsigned msix installers. I use Codemagic to compile the code for windows. I only just bought the win 11 pro key from Banana this week.

I saw a comment made on TV that this is a new 757. Not sure if they even still make them. I would assume if he bought a new plane it would be a 737 max. I don't think he has the money to replace it now.

They don't need to.

You didn't mention the big one. Ubuntu. The only thing I don't like about Ubuntu is snap. I make sure I use apt instead. I do tend to live in terminal a lot but mainly because I develop a lot and my job involves cloud linux support.

What is likely to succeed are the tax offenses more than the electoral offenses from my reading. The coming other electoral indictments are another story.

Is the time delay a problem? Apparently it wasn't when Starr investigated Clinton for 7 years but found nothing relevant to the original investigation. Nor apparently did it make a difference when the GOP investigated the other Clinton for 3 years over Benghazi! only to find nothing. No need to lecture the left over weaponizing investigations. The playbook has been written in large, bold letters.

The way to end the war doesn't need to be "found". It isn't lost. The same solution as Vietnam needs to be applied.
