McConnell is flip flopping again

Manu Raju @mkraju

Mitch McConnell repeatedly refused to talk Trump on an interview on Fox.
But he did say "absolutely" that he would support Trump if he became the party's nominee in 2024, though he said it's a "wide open race" and said that there "at least four" Senate Republicans eyeing a bid

Journalist Tim O'Brien, who's seen Trump's taxes,

So how does that work then ? Under what authority do the press get to see evidence in criminal investigations ?

If I think it odd, I would imagine team Trump will already have a motion ready ...

Biden approves US air strike on Iran-backed militias in Syria

www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-56205056

An unnamed US official told Reuters news agency that the attack was meant to send a signal that while the US wanted to punish the militias, it did not want it to escalate into a bigger conflict.

Not sure it works like that.

What's this I'm seeing on twitter (under "other tweets", I don't use Twitter so don't really get it) about Kushner and 20 mil vaccines "missing"?

Speaking of Twitter, it seems there are noises that they may be starting a "premium" Twitter service where you have to pay to follow certain people and get access to "exclusive content".

#RIPTwitter is well worth checking out, if you like forthright comments.

Golden calf?
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_calf

I asked CPAC if they were afraid of offending God with a golden Trump statue and they said "Trump is God."

(I'm kidding, I think)

If only there were some sacred text, one most people at CPAC claimed allegiance to, that very explicitly warns against making golden idols.

It's ironic how it's the allegedly most religious that are the best advert for atheism you can find.

Almost as ironic as the role religion plays in the politics of a country that explicitly separated Church and State.

I am bitterly disappointed by the news I woke up to on the World Service today.

"The Miami Herald reported that the Biden administration already plans to reopen what was previously known as the Homestead Detention Center in Florida, now known as the Biscayne Influx Care Facility, as a temporary shelter to take in migrant children."

I don't know how reliable the Miami Herald is, but that's a pity if true. It actually makes me feel quite angry.

It seems to be related to the fact that the Trump administration vaccine distribution infrastructure lost (or misplaced) 20 million doses and Kushner's involvement with the Covid19 response team. It's all a bit vague.

A pickup truck parked at the United States Capitol and bearing a Three Percenter militia sticker on the day of the Jan. 6 riot belongs to the husband of freshman U.S. Rep. Mary Miller of Illinois, who approvingly quoted Adolf Hitler a day earlier.

Thanks Duncin. So, probably incompetence but could be deliberate, knowing those involved.

Does anyone else get an error message every time they post on this thread? Its a 400 bad request one. Still sends my lost, but very annoying. Doesn't happen on other threads.

Thank you. It's a mess, isn't it. And I can't help wondering, where are all the parents? Unless these are all orphans, at least one of their parents has to be somewhere.

MN has been having ongoing tech problems for a few days. Maybe targeted, maybe not.

Meanwhile ...

From halfway across America, one plumber has answered the pleas of Texans still grappling with the aftermath of a devastating winter storm.

As the coldest temperatures in over 30 years swept through Texas in early February, pipes burst in homes across the south-western state, leaving thousands of families with flooded homes and no water.

Plumber Andrew Mitchell and his family drove 22 hours from Morristown, New Jersey to the Houston area in a truck loaded up with around $2,000 (£1,418) worth of materials to offer a helping hand.

Do you think Kuschner flogged the missing vaccines to the highest bidder? He's got contacts all over the world, Russia, Europe, Middle East, Saudi, Israel. Anywhere dodgy enough really would be willing to pay top dollar to get hold of vaccines earlier than everyone else.

It's all a bit Third Man, isn't it ?

@DGRossetti

It's all a bit Third Man, isn't it ?

Christ, I hope not! The drugs peddled in that were diluted, and that is the very last thing needed instead of covid vaccine. Let's hope very much indeed that nobody beginning with K decided to imitate someone beginning with L.

The drugs peddled in that were diluted, and that is the very last thing needed instead of covid vaccine

Even if Kushner's moral compass prevent him from flogging hooky vaccines, I suspect those of anyone buying from him might not.

I can already hear the sales pitch on the darkweb ...

Anyone want to buy 40million vaccines ?

And that's before you consider that a lot of people in the US might view flogging ineffective if not fake vaccines (many times over, since the buyers are hardly going to complain) to muslim countries as a positively good thing.

Bloomberg reporter William Turton @WilliamTurton is tweeting photos and video clips from CPAC ( including the golden calf one)

One of them is a crowd surrounding CNN’s Jim Acosta “Get him. Get him,” one woman says. Crowd chanting "CNN sucks"

Only 60-70% wearing masks

Trigger Warning

For those who haven't seen the video clip posted by TheNorthWestPawsage

Not sure what he is holding, a magic wand?

Oh, I know they'll all be stored electronically. It's whether they presented them as such

But then again I also know that you can't fill in a PIP form electronically.
