As of Friday, no detailed specifications for the phone appear on the Freedom Phone's website.

I suppose they would argue this is because Clever Security.

We await evaluation from a tech site. Luckily anyone can buy one.

'In a withering column for the Daily Beast, Erin Gloria Ryan tapped the brakes on the wave of adulation being lavished on former members of Donald Trump's administration who waited to dish to reporters about how dangerous the former president was until after he lost the 2020 presidential election.'

Twitter has temporarily suspended Republican lawmaker Marjorie Taylor Greene for posting "misleading" information about coronavirus.
The social media giant said her account would be in "read-only mode" for 12 hours.

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

Tom Barrack is the guy who introduced Trump to Manafort. He helped Trump bait and switch his way into the DC Post office deal. He was even hawking Trump's "lets be friend with Russia line" in 2016. All that and a bit more here.

'(CNN)--The White House is trying to fix the problem of slowing Covid-19 vaccinations by engaging with an unlikely source: Fox News.

The network, which Fox Corp. CEO Lachlan Murdoch has called the "loyal opposition" to President Joe Biden's White House, has been a hub for vaccine hesitancy and outright hostility. As the pandemic has gone on, and Covid-19 vaccinations have slowed, vaccine resistance among Republicans the Fox News audience base has been a recurring theme, leading many observers to scrutinize Fox's coverage.'

It was closed when we were there in May, but we purposely skipped it in 2019 as neither DH nor I could trust ourselves not to smuggle in a blowtorch and melt Doofus' AA to a puddle.

I hope they move him to the waaaayyy back because I'd love to see Biden front and center

So Pelosi said No to Jimbo.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday rejected two Republicans tapped by House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy to sit on a committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection, a decision McCarthy denounced as “an egregious abuse of power.”

Good for her.

Jaichangecentfoisdenom · 22/07/2021 08:37

McCarthy and his ilk know all about "an egregious abuse of power", don't they? He should look to his party first before criticising Nancy Pelosi. Ugh.
I saw that Alabama doctor's remarks yesterday. If the anti-Covid vaccination, anti-mask-wearing, Covid-deniers in Alabama are anything like those here in Cyprus (we're in Limassol, where there are the most people hospitalized and dying in the country and ICU beds are already to their limits, whilst lockdown has eased and cases and deaths are rising, but people are still protesting that their human rights are being abused as they have to show "safe" passes to get in to shops, restaurants, etc, and think mask-wearing is pointless), then her words will have no effect whatsoever on the people to whom they are aimed. Pffft and double Pffffft.

I don’t think “it’s shameful that Nancy Pelosi didn’t have the national guard at the Capitol for the tourist event that definitely wasn’t an insurrection inspired by Trump” is the winning argument McCarthy thinks it is
