Something Elon Musk says he is going to do.
Let Loon have his Twitter account back.
Divine your meme was so fantastic. And totally true. Without we women there would be no men. We don't need them making any decisions for us and frankly, I think it would be far better and likely kinder the other way around. I'm sure many of us would let them have their Viagra and be as fair to them as long as they were fair as well. It seems most of the Reps. are trying to quash women as much as they can because we vote for Democrats who won't hold us back. They are busy pretending we didn't see what they were about long time ago.

Love all the memes especially the one about trump jr. saying he will plead "stupidity". I don't think that is a far stretch because every time he opens his mouth stupid just falls out leaving no doubt about his intellect.
Loved the Desmond Tutu one and admired him as a man and humanitarian. The necklaces worn by RGB made me wish she had lived longer to prevent what happened to the SC.
I think and hope that Oz showed his true colors during the debate by skirting or ignoring questions/issues he did not want to disclose his stance, brought the rope for his own hanging (literal only) by saying the abortion issue was between the mother, her doctor and the local politicians (really?) and making fun of Fetterman's delay in responses. For a "doctor" he is cruel and not compassionate at all. He is a Trumper and a hard party liner, not what he professes to be as a centrist. The fact that Toomey the do-nothing retiring senator supports him means no representation for other than the very wealthy. He will take SS, raise taxes on the middle class and eliminate both Medicare and Medicaid. He is the evil wizard of Oz.

I don’t use Twitter, but do lurk there. People there say they are leaving or will leave if tfg is allowed back. They are going to Tribel. I’ve loaded that app, so far haven’t seen much to impress me.

The Trump Organization tax-fraud trial jury has been chosen, and it's mostly minority and mostly male

- It took three days to seat the jury for the Trump Organization criminal tax fraud trial in Manhattan.
- The mostly male, mostly minority jury has 2 men the defense tried to boot for their views on Trump.
- In all, 3 jurors dislike Trump, whose namesake company faces some $2 million in fines if convicted.
Donald Trump's company is about to be tried on tax-fraud charges before a jury that is mostly minority, mostly male, and that includes two men who the defense tried — and failed — to challenge due to their stated qualms about the former president.
Opening statements are set for Monday in the criminal trial, for which the defendant is not Trump himself, but his $3 billion real-estate and golf-resort empire, charged with a 15-year scheme to dodge payroll taxes by giving executives such untaxed, off-the-books compensation as rent-free apartments and luxury cars.
Auto Rotation On
Hope Hicks went from a teen model to one of Trump's closest confidantes. Less than 2 years later, she's testifying in the investigation launched against her former boss' involvement in the Jan. 6 riots.
- Hope Hicks, 34, was one of President Donald Trump's most trusted advisers.
- Hicks resigned from the White House on January 12, 2021, but told people it was a planned departure.
- She was one of the few White House aides who told him he lost the 2020 election.
Hope Hicks was the youngest White House communications director in history. But before joining the 2016 Trump campaign, she had no political experience.
Hicks, now 34, was born in Greenwich, a town of 60,000 on the southwest tip of Connecticut that's a favorite spot for hedge-fund headquarters.
She was a model, actress, and lacrosse player as a child, before getting her English degree at Southern Methodist University.
Hicks didn't intend on playing such a large role in a presidential campaign, instead falling into the gig through a job at the Trump Organization.
In her time at the White House, Hicks became ensnared in two high-profile White House controversies: the special counsel's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, and her role in crafting the White House's response to abuse allegations against staff secretary Rob Porter.
In February 2018, Hicks announced she was resigning one day after she said in testimony she had occasionally told white lies for the president but never lied about anything consequential related to the Russia investigation.
After laying low in New York and Connecticut for several months, Hicks headed to 21st Century Fox as executive vice president and chief communications officer. She later rejoined the Trump White House as a counselor to the president, reporting to senior adviser and Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner.
Amid a wave of resignations following the January 6 insurrection, Hicks resigned from the White House on January 12, 2021, but told people it was a previously planned departure and not influenced by then-President Donald Trump's response to the Capitol riot as some other departures were, CNN reported at the time.
In October 2022, reports emerged that Hicks was expected to privately testify before the House select committee investigating the Capitol riot. She was one of the few White House aides who broke with the former president, reportedly telling Trump he lost the 2020 election as he allegedly worked to overturn the results.
Here's what we know about Hicks.
Sitting in judgment of the Trump Organization, of which all of the leadership is white and male, will be four women — just one of them white. Of the eight men chosen, just two are white; another is a native of Honduras.In a brisk jury selection held Monday, Tuesday and Thursday in state Supreme Court in Manhattan, nearly all of those chosen said they have some opinion about the former president.
They include a trio who openly dislike the former president, but who were seated anyway after repeatedly promising to be fair and impartial.
The defense simply did not have enough challenges to chase off the large number of Manhattan residents in the jury pool — well over half — who, when asked, expressed negative opinions of Trump.
And while Trump is not on trial and won't be in court, his presence was likened by one prosecutor to "the elephant not in the room."
Any trial about the guilt or innocence of the Trump Organization will hinge on proving the actions, or inactions, of the man at the top of the company — and on whether his immediate underlings took 15 years of luxury cars and free apartments all on their own or without his say so.
Six alternate jurors remain to be chosen.
Here is the jury:
Juror 1: The forewoman is a grandmother from Inwood who works for the city's public hospital system. "I like to meditate," she said of her hobbies. She does not read the news, and said she had no strong opinion about Trump.
Juror 2: Unemployed, he lives with his mother in the Washington Heights neighborhood. He watches Spanish news stations, and had no strong opinion of the former president, though he did say, "Donald Trump is just a very small part of a very large problem."
Juror 3: An East Harlem retiree, she is married, has adult children, and likes to crochet. "Of course, President Trump was the president of the United States," she said in court. "And of course, when something happened in this country … I would be upset about things. But I don't see how that applies to this particular case. I've had feelings in the past. But I will do my best. I will follow the instructions."
Juror 4: A Washington Heights resident, native of Honduras, and married dad of two adult children, he is a paraprofessional. He said he has no opinion about Trump or his company.
Juror 5: A Hell's Kitchen resident, she is a self-employed book editor for 25 years, including for medical texts. She joked that as hobbies, she reads and writes fiction "that no one will ever, ever read." On Trump, she said, "I didn't vote for him. And I would have gone for some different Supreme Court justices" than the three he picked.
Juror 6: A retired employee of the city Human Resources Administration, he lives in Washington Heights, and is interested in "civil justice" and "environmental advocacy. For news, "I go to the internet and find the news that broadcast and cable companies won't show you," including stories about "income disparity."
Juror 7: A retiree from Harlem, his hobbies are music and "anything outdoors." Asked if he had any issues with the idea of paying taxes, he said. "I've been paying taxes for 65 years." Of Trump, he said, "I really don't have any feelings about him. Not like that."
Juror 8: A Murray Hill resident with a "retail" job at a discount chain store. Of Trump, he said, "Honestly, I used to think he was funny before he was president. Then he started acting a little crazy and narcissistic … That's really it. That's the only reason I didn't like him as a president, not so much policy."
Juror 9: He spends his spare time reading, gaming, and enjoying music. He only watches the news for the weather and traffic reports. Of Trump, he said, "Yes, I have opinions, but yes I can be impartial." He did not detail his opinions.
Juror 10: A custodian for Macy's, he said he had strong opinions concerning Trump, but could be fair. "I'm neutral with him," he said. "I understand he was president. He had issues, whatever. But … I'm not going to cloud my judgment. I just try to treat it fair at all levels. I struggled with that last night," he added. "Then I said, 'let me see the evidence before I have an opinion.'"
Juror 11: A Midtown father of three, he said, "I do porter work" for a real estate management company. He said he has no strong opinion about Trump or his company. "I mean, I believe everybody has an opinion about him, but I don't really follow."
Juror 12: A native of France, he works as a portfolio manager and has lived in New York for 11 years. He said he has no strong opinions about Trump or his company.

Every Reps. and very much so those in debates should be reminded of this fact and asked about it.

To be glad of life, because it gives you the chance to love and to work and to play and to look up to the stars; to be satisfied with your possessions, but not contented with yourself until you have made the best of them; to despise nothing in the world except falsehood and meanness, and to fear nothing except cowardice; to be governed by your admirations rather than by your disgusts; to covet nothing that is your neighbors' except their kindness of heart and gentleness of manners.
