Those who are advocating capitulation and forgiveness for Putin are setting in motion disastrous events for other parts of the world. I'm not actually clear who Graham is targeting with those tweets. The author of that story is an anti-GOP partisan, and wants to frame the tweets that way. DeSantis and MTG are named by the author (not by Graham), but I doubt DeSantis has advocated for positions that would put him in the crosshairs of Graham's tweets. Maybe MTG has.

Don't hold your breath...

I suspect he died of heart failure.

Who votes for these people?

"President Biden, what federal interventions do you intend to pursue following the events in Nashville?" "Did you buy any pears?" "...Mr. President, do you have any long-term plans to—" "I put pears on the list. Did you buy any pears?"

Cool!

Not really a story but okay.

@George-K said in Six Pages at Once: @Axtremus said in Six Pages at Once: Line up six pages of sheet music on your music stand Is your music desk 48 inches wide (6 pages at 8.25 inch each)? Mine are not. The Bohemia is 38" and the Roland is 28". I sell a large number of institutional uprights to private homes over this issue.

The practical benefits of the P22 far outweigh the performance feature… 1) the music desk on a U1 is one of those flip down jobs. If you play using hymnals or thicker books, it’s a no go. Writing in the music is more difficult, and you can’t have more than 3-4 pages of sheet music across it…

@George-K said in Chansley's Lawyer Speaks: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1641474102551797761.html Let me make something CLEAR. The videos released and played on Fox News DID NOT play a role in any "early release" for Jake Chansely. Al Watkins claiming that to be the case is FALSE and is Watkins to continuing to deflect blame away from himself for his horrible work. Jake's sentence was 42 months. The final 6 months are ALWAYS in a Halfway House by BOP police. So total custodial time was going to be 36 months. But there are programs in BOP that allow a prisoner to earn credit on his sentence beyond "Good Time" credit. Jake took advantage of those opportunities. He was arrested in Jan 2021, and was detained the entire time. He served 26+ months in custody. When I first spoke with him in Nov. 2021, I told him his release date was likely Feb. 2023. He thought it would be early 2024. Al Watkins never explained to him how custodial time calculations work. Jake was released on exactly the time frame that I predicted to him, and the slight delay was only from getting some paperwork processed internal to BOP to give him credit for a program he completed. We have known the release date for a period of time, but kept it quiet so as to not have a crowd show up at either the BOP facility or the Halfway House. Al Watkins deserves NO CREDIT nor is he absolved of his failures while representing Jake. That's pretty bad, if true. It looks as though Chansley showed almost as much skill in selecting his lawyers as Trump.

Coaching... =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= TikTok has enlisted three heavyweights from American politics and business to advise it behind the scenes as the social-media app tries to convince U.S. authorities that it isn’t beholden to the Chinese government. David Plouffe and Jim Messina, veterans of Barack Obama’s presidential campaigns, and Zenia Mucha, the former longtime communications chief of Walt Disney Co., DIS 1.27%increase; green up pointing triangle are advising TikTok in its fight against efforts to ban it in the U.S, according to people familiar with their roles. All three helped coach TikTok Chief Executive Shou Zi Chew for more than a month ahead of what turned out to be a contentious U.S. House hearing last week, the people said. In hiring the trio of U.S. advisers, TikTok, which is owned by Beijing-based ByteDance Ltd., is turning to people who made their name selling the world some of the most prominent American brands: Barack Obama and Disney. They also have experience straddling business and politics. Mr. Plouffe worked at Uber Technologies Inc. UBER 1.04%increase; green up pointing triangle after the White House, and Ms. Mucha advised Republican politicians in New York for years before her two-decade career at the entertainment giant. A spokeswoman for TikTok said the company sought a diversity of views when it approached something of the magnitude of the congressional hearing. “That’s why we brought in additional folks,” she said.

Do it, Aqua! Sign up for this gig, and make some good writers out of the lumps of clay sitting in their chairs. Mold their minds.
