Ossoff: "In my view, based upon the evidence I've seen thus far, the president's misconduct, abuse of power, and corruption, already exceed any prior standard for impeachment."

OSSOFF: You didn't answer earlier. Answer now. Did Donald Trump win the 2020 election?

MIKE COLLINS: You know, the 2020 election. Everybody has seen my views on that

OSSOFF: What are they?

COLLINS: There was a lot of doubt in that election

OSSOFF: I didn't hear an answer

Ossoff: "Mike Collins called for killing immigrants by throwing them to their deaths out of helicopters. I'd like to hear if Mike Collins stands by that statement. Do you still believe in extrajudicial killing of immigrants?"

Collins: *does not answer.*

“It was bad. Toe-curlingly, don’t-know-where-to-look bad. At least Leavitt had delivered her propaganda hot. Evidently Trump’s communications team have found new and ingenious ways to torture reporters.”

I just banked my pre-midterm $90 bribe from Donald Trump.

And I just have to say "Thank you"!

Thank you for making the national debt even bigger, you incompetent loser!

Video Clip: Maine Senate Debate

Troy Jackson: "Sen. Collins says that she voted against it 9 times, but she didn't have the votes. Well, that sounds like then we probably ought to have Democrats in charge of the Senate so we have the votes to stop this war and hold Donald Trump in check. It sounds like Republicans won't do that."

I'm seeing people saying the Ukrainian strikes on Yandex data centers resulted in fewer right-wing bots posting and I'm seeing people deny there was any change.

I say we settle this by applying the Scientific Method: Repeat the experiment multiple times.

So they’re going to make 16MB versions of themselves and run on legions of ESP32s? Or what?

The insane level of stenography the press is performing here is wild.

It’s not a warning to say “my product could do you harm”. It’s attempted extortion.

Why he would think that there is an obvious solution to this. Pull the plug on their companies and put them all in jail.

And then make all the data centers “migrate to the cloud”. They have been in Russia. Iran has been working on this area as well.

The island where locals say #datacentres are taking their water

Muhammad Islahuddin, #Batam, and
Kelly Ng, #Singapore

" 'Water! Water!' the crowd shouted as it stormed a compound with data centres, armed with empty plastic bottles and jerry cans.

"There were about 300 of them, all residents on the Indonesian island of #Batam, and they were furious that the taps at home had run dry, while the data centres in the new #NongsaDigitalPark seemed to have enough water to protect their machines from overheating.

" 'Not a single drop has come through our taps for the last three months... Our water supply had been reliable until the data centres came,' Dewi Susanti, one of the protesters, told the BBC.

"People in her village, #BakauSerip , were now depending on tanker trucks that dispensed 'dirty, cloudy and smelly' water, she said.

"Batam's water utility told the BBC it was working to improve supply, but did not comment on whether the disruption was linked to demand from the data centres."

People worried that it won't matter if Dems win big because "Dem leadership sucks."

Well, we are certainly not going to keep this leadership if and when we big. First order of business is removal of Schumer and Jeffries and their centrist brethren from leadership and replacing them with true progressives.

We can do this! Vote!

The face of white privilege: this guy beat up the woman who wanted the Epstein files released and then posted about his crime on Facebook. Even after January 6 they haven't learned not to post about crimes.

I mean, most of us just don't commit crimes, but if we did we at least wouldn't post about them??? The stupidity is as mind blowing as the evil, but that's MAGA for you.
