And trump is still the by far leading R candidate, DeSantis is still governor, on and on.

The only one who lied is the informant.

Nope, those folks, a whole lot of them, pretty much the whole republican party right down to the voters, endlessly repeated that lie even after it was investigated it and no evidence found.  I heard 20 mins of Sean one evening and I think he repeated it 15 times in that 20.    If I am not mistaken, I think you did so as well.

"..Hitler didn’t operate the gas chambers himself. But he was responsible.

Bin Laden didn’t fly the planes himself. But he was responsible.

Putin didn’t kill Navalny himself. But he was responsible.

Trump didn’t storm the Capitol himself. But he was responsible.

Justice matters.."

And, what did DeSantis do? This is getting crazier.

This may be a new concept for you, but it isn't a lie if you believe it to be true.

Yes, that would certainly be new to me.

"..One of the most inspiring people of this era. A rare individual who bravely stood up to the most vicious tyrant of our times.

Republicans should approve aid to Ukraine immediately. Shame on every House member and Senator blocking aid to Ukraine.

And finally, what just transpired in Russia is exactly what Trump was arguing to the Court he should have the absolute power to do here.

Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny dies in prison:.."

"..Here's a lovely thing.

"By and large", as in,  "by and large, pizza is good", is a *nautical* expression, dating from the 18th shading back into the mists of the 17th century of English sailing ships.

"By" means "tending opposite the prevailing wind", and "large" means "tending with the prevailing wind".

So, "by and large" means "no matter which way your ship is headed relative to the wind".

I'm a poly-dork, and one of my dorkeries is language.."

"...⚡️ Harris: Putin will threaten entire Europe if US abandons Ukraine, allies.

If the U.S. turns its back on Ukraine and its allies, the whole of Europe will be threatened by further Russian aggression, U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris said on Feb. 16, Axios reported.

"Imagine if America turned our back on Ukraine and abandoned our NATO allies and abandoned our treaty commitments," Harris said during the Munich Security Conference.

"History offers a clue. If we stand by while an aggressor invades its neighbor with impunity, they will keep going. And in the case of Putin, that means all of Europe would be threatened," she concluded..."
