She’s probably on another dinner date with Vlad Putin.

Well, I would only know my local area, where nobody’s seriously impressed me. We sure need some people to STEP UP and either run or lead a genuine opposition.

I like Ocasio-Cortez, Bernie Sanders, Jasmine Crockett, Maxwell Frost, Al Green, maybe Melanie Stansbury… not many more. Damn near all the other Democrats in Congress are reacting to the end of America as if it’s item number four on this week’s agenda.

You’re right. Fixed it, thanks.

The mildest symbolic gestures, usually accompanied by emails begging donations, while Republicans sledgehammer America.

Politically, I’d be there if not for Jill Stein.

The question is specifically the billionaire’s behavior toward Russia.

Can you imagine if someone did this for the other guys?

Seriously, literally, I laughed out loud.

It’s a ball-park guess, is all. I’m not keeping a spreadsheet. (: My own Democratic Congresscritter hasn’t responded to several emails and a letter.

I ain’t arguing. Verification would be nice. It ain’t going to be verified, though, and that doesn’t necessarily make it false. Common sense and Occam’s razor can be enough.

In 1987, young, rich, and already somewhat famous, Donald Trump was invited by the USSR’s American Ambassador to visit Moscow, to negotiate building a hotel across the street from the Kremlin, with the Soviet government as his business partner. Trump went. ‘Trump Tower Moscow’ was never built, but it’s almost silly to imagine that the KGB didn’t have a hand in Trump’s visit and/or didn’t offer an ‘investment’ in Trump. Equally or perhaps more unthinkable (based on everything we know about DJT) is the concept that he would turn down such an offer. Ipso facto pepto bismo, Trump is and has long been a Russian asset.

It would be helpful to have it confirmed, but it’s highly unlikely. The KGB is generally hush-hush, so we’re going to have to decide without explicit evidence, but Occam’s razor is good enough for me.

Does it need to be?

By not looking, not caring.

(: Man, the things I learn from smart folks on Lemmy…

Hello, old timer! Pretty sure it was just plain Netscape when I installed it (not yet called Navigator), but I’d never heard of it as Phoenix. It has served me well for 30 years across a dozen computers, but now it might be time to move on.

That does look intriguing, especially if being a Firefox fork means I can bring my familiar add-ons along. Thank you!

Very, very long-time Firefox user here, now open to suggestions for a replacement. Windows, desktop, and it absolutely must have adblocker capabilities.

Well, that seems like an alive-ist thing to say.

It was a typo, but I saw it and didn’t fix it and wondered if anyone would notice.

Well, I didn’t make it, I found it.
