Biden's presidency has been sorta farty, but it's preferable to Trump's round 2 as presaboo, especially in regard to Russia invading Ukraine. Intelligence and information gathering/sharing on our end would've been purposefully fucked by Trump.

MONDAY

Quote from: https://www.reuters.com/world/us/exclusive-trumps-truth-social-app-set-release-monday-apple-app-store-per-2022-02-20/

Feb 19 (Reuters) - Donald Trump's new social media venture, Truth Social, appears set to launch in Apple's App Store on Monday, according to posts from an executive on a test version viewed by Reuters, potentially marking the return of the former president to social media on the U.S. Presidents Day holiday.

In a series of posts late on Friday, a verified account for the network's chief product officer, listed as Billy B., answered questions on the app from people invited to use it during its test phase. One user asked him when the app, which has been available this week for beta testers, would be released to the public, according to screenshots viewed by Reuters.

"We're currently set for release in the Apple App store for Monday Feb. 21," the executive responded.

Quote

The chief product officer's other responses during Friday's question-and-answer session suggested the startup's features would resemble those of Twitter.

Asked whether users would be able to edit their "truths," the executive replied "not yet." The ability to edit posts after publication is something Twitter users have long sought.

The next significant feature released on the platform will be direct messages, or DMs, between users, the executive wrote.

The company is also considering allowing users to sign up to receive notifications when others post content, the executive said. He signaled that the ability to block other users would be an important component.

"There will always be block functionality in the app," he wrote.

Truth Social will issue a policy on verified accounts "in the coming weeks," the executive added.

No, Republicans are to blame of course. But those who stood by and did nothing aren't exactly blameless, either.
At least they spent their time with essential tasks that *really* matter, like inventing speech codes.

School board politics: They're inheritably local, even in big cities (Los Angeles, New York, etc). They're also super not interesting. I think you gotta have an interest in order to actually follow it (you're a teacher working in the district, parent, etc.), if you're just an outsider, and trying to find out why it seems crazy.

A) It really is crazy and mundane at the same time.
B) Part of making the current craziness is a bunch of people who really don't care about schools, politics, and everything that is related to it weighing in their own reasons.

From the Joe and Rumblar beat:

Quote from: https://kfor.com/news/local/u-s-house-candidate-accused-of-alcohol-fueled-profanities-toward-pre-teen-girls/

Multiple parents have contacted KFOR about a Valentine’s party for pre-teen girls in the metro.

Broyles is friends with the host of the party and was invited to the event, which included a sleepover and a movie, where several middle school girls were in attendance.

The parents in contact with KFOR say the evening started out fine but took a turn when Broyles began drinking wine and became more and more aggressive.

They say the more she drank, the uglier the situation became. The parents also allege she began insulting the children with profanities and at one point vomited into a hamper and on one girl’s shoes.

“It was like an attack,” said Sarah Matthews, a mother with a daughter at the party who said her daughter was verbally attacked. “Like personal, vicious attacks.”

Other mothers have also corroborated that same story, claiming that Broyles arrived at the Valentine’s sleepover at the invitation of the homeowner. Matthews said she dropped off her 12-year-old daughter with a group of girls. She said she never expected anything like this to happen though.

“Mama Bear starts coming out because you’re like, this is disgusting,” Matthews said.

Another mom spoke to us over the phone and said her daughter told her when Broyles arrived it wasn’t too bad at first. However, she said Broyles became more and more aggressive as she continued to drink. Matthews said her daughter gave her the details the next morning.

“She proceeded to tell me that Abby Broyles had been at the house and was very drunk and calling them all mfer’s, f’er this f’er that,” Matthews said. “[Broyles] called somebody acne f’er, somebody Hispanic f’er, called my daughter judgey f’er for not wanting to sleep with a blanket that she cleaned up wine with.”

I was incredibly confused by the KFOR acronym. I thought this was about the Kosovo.

Trump was right about the EU reliance on Russian energy and a lack of investments in the military.
Even the Germans now realize the collosal mistake they made by not listening to Trump.

https://twitter.com/akk/status/1496805472493617152

The call is now going out for the US to greatly increase their energy production to make the EU less reliant on Russian gas.
After all if the US uses more nuclear energy, more gas and other resources are left to be exported to Europe.
Of course Europe should also abandon their failed solar energy plans and wind turbines and start building nuclear plants again.
