tsf took more ownership of Jan 6

During the Telemundo thingy, referred to the Jan 6 rioters as "we". "We didn't have guns, the other side had guns" Other side meaning the police guarding the capitol.

...some of them had guns.

Nobody cares, Donald

I could see this as an effective attack line in the debate:

"Nobody cares about your grievances, your false claims of cheating, your revenge fantasies and lies.
The American people care about a lot of things (list some things), but they don't care about you."
You have no answers for them in this debate, all you have are lies, because you only care about yourself"

Possible reason Judge doesn't want to put him in jail for gag violations...

The most important thing for the judge...is to get through the trial and keep everyone safe. It may be MORE dangerous for the trial participants if he jails TSF. This is way effed up any way you cut it.

trumps biggest crimes

are the crimes that only a president can commit and crimes that harm vast numbers of our people. He continues committing them in broad daylight everyday, but apparently there is no law against it. Maybe there should be a law that only applies to presidents and ex presidents of the United States, that say you can't lie about elections, you can't whip up your supporters to attack Congress, etc. just a thought.

Stormy Daniels was paid for her silence

Dear news media, This possible indictment IS a big deal. It's not a false FEC filing, or a business records issue. It is a presidential candidate defrauding the American voters. No one knows if the discloser of trumps affair would have eroded his support enough to put Hillary in the White house. We will never know that, but we do know that trump thought it would, and illegally bought off her silence, so he could win. He cheated the American people, and the harm was done to us all.

Water Bear with a new song

This is NOT my music...please do not compliment/... me. (just putting that first) This is a song from a fellow musician friend of mine. I'm just sharing his music here.

A note from my friend, Steve
[i"Hello Friends,

I want to invite you to listen to my new song, Karen Wants to Speak to the Manager. The link is on soundcloud, here.

I was inspired to write this while waiting to talk to my phone company representative. I was in a state of irritation and a moment of perspective helped me make fun of myself a bit.

This song is just for FUN. If you are named Karen, you are a fabulous amalgamation of miraculous star stuff, as are we all, don’t forget.

I had fun slicing recordings of my voice like a quilter and processing and patching them back together. I recorded my mouth going “pop” with my finger and that is part of the percussion track.

Later I will put this up on Water Bear’s Bandcamp page here so you can download it if you want.

Water Bear is reforming and making new music! We are looking for a bass player, if you know anyone with chops who likes, um, art rock I will call it, send them my way please.

Gratitude and Blessings,

Steve"

I propose a new word

Greatch...pronounced by saying "great" with the tch sound at the end.

I'm not sure how to describe the meaning grammatically.

You can use it as a noun or like the word "cool" but meaning to show gratitude, generosity, abundance, a gift of great value.

Wishing you all lot's of holiday greatch!
