Always knew those Bloc Québécois were suspicious. That’s why I always vote for their candidate in my riding in federal elections.

The undisputed facts: Shokin was investigating Burisma Ukraine was scheduled to get $1B in aid, that deal was made before Biden visited Ukraine Ambassador Nuland praised the Ukrainian governments (specifically Shokin) efforts on behalf of then SecState Kerry Joe Biden wanted Shokin fired Shokin was fired Nuland's memo: [image: 1693007091927-screenshot-2023-08-25-at-6.43.43-pm.png] [image: 1693007097161-screenshot-2023-08-25-at-6.43.58-pm.png] [image: 1693007102279-screenshot-2023-08-25-at-6.44.12-pm.png] One can speculate about Shokin's motivation and him being disgruntled. What I posted doesn't speak to that, only to what we know to be true. So, why was Shokin fired?

@jon-nyc said in A Christmas Gift for Jon?: @Horace said in A Christmas Gift for Jon?: It's important to set solid precedent of our future cherished tradition of the peaceful surrender to the authorities of the previously elected president. My hope is that Biden has the strength of character and hip to walk into the police station as Trump did. Like the people who claim blacks suffer from racism due to ‘mass incarceration’, you are failing to adjust for the difference in the base rate of criminality. What Biden had done is selling out his country for profit. In a better day, we used to hang people like that.

That looks like aquaplaning to me - I'm guessing most of us would struggle.

Coincidentally I've been watching the Netflix series called The Days. It is the story of the Fukushima plant. Mistakes were made. https://www.netflix.com/title/81233755

I wonder what is a "homophobic slur". But, unfortunately they can not define "homophobic slurs" because they don't want to go to prison.

Only the conductor gets paid in our local symphony. The players volunteer. The majority are teachers and doctors.

Yep, he gets to keep it.

@Horace said in What age to start piano lessons?: That's pretty old for a beginner, but don't let her get discouraged. Thx!

Hillary losing in 2016 is still better than Trump jailed in 2024.

Be cool for toll booths too.

@Mik said in Bard on "gender affirming" care: Seems a bit biased. Just a bit.
