On the assumption that he can't help but lie about everything, I just looked this up.

And according to Wikipedia, there's never been a Miss Universe winner from Ukraine: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_M…
Trump took over the pageant in 1996. Here's the list of winners and their countries from that point to today.
It's a stupid, meaningless lie but it's a reminder that you really do need to fact-check every single thing he says.

When the House launched its formal impeachment hearings against Nixon in February 1974, only 38% of Americans supported it.

washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/…

Today, polling shows that 49% of Americans support launching formal impeachment hearings against Trump.

npr.org/2019/09/26/764…
In the Watergate investigation, which took place not just in those formal impeachment hearings but in separate congressional inquiries too, the case for impeachment was made methodically.

Televised hearings aired the evidence and turned public opinion.

The result of the methodical case against Nixon & his men was the resignation of the president, the resignation of the vice president for an unrelated scandal, and the imprisonment of his former attorney general and several top White House aides.

It was a marathon, not a sprint.

This is going to be a crazy day, so let me just say this:

Sly and the Family Stone’s “Fresh” might well be the perfect album.

There. I said it.

Seriously, that LP has “Skin I’m In,” “Thankful n’ Thoughtful,” “Babies Makin’ Babies,” “Let Me Have It All” and one of the greatest cover songs of all time:
Thanks for letting me get that off my chest. Whew.

If this is true, this strikes me as a serious misstep.

The House needs to hold extensive televised hearings to lay out the evidence and make the case for impeachment before they hold the actual vote.
I've been urging Pelosi to move ahead, but the hearings are the key, not the vote. They shouldn't rush this.
Look to the Senate Select Committee hearings in Watergate, and how much they moved the needle on public opinion and congressional opinion on removing Nixon:

Never seen timeline of Robert Swan #Mueller III's time in Vietnam

Mueller was identified as CIA material in 68/69, was in UVirginia 1970-73, CIA debriefed in 1969

1971: CIA Summer intern program, a young #BillBarr is enrolled (also in 1972)

Mueller+Barr friends since 1971?
[2] Need to revisit work of @btaylor_71 and others

RSM3 married into the Cabel (a Standish)- I mean the Caball- in 1966

Did he really need 2 years of officer training to let his leg heal before going to Vietnam in Nov 1968?

The worst of the bloodshed just ended that Sep 1968
@btaylor_71 [3] Surely his father at du Pont had nothing to do with it

Surely his grandad who was the exclusive distributor of uranium fuel rods to the US Navy had no impact

Mueller got a letter of praise from the Pacific fleet commander every time he made his bed properly

Se uno vuole rendersi conto del ruolo reazionario e di propaganda del Potere svolto da #Wikipedia, esatto opposto funzionale della Encyclopédie, può per esempio leggere la seguente, impegnata a smontare l'unica tesi logica, quella giornalistica: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_St…
La voce, frutto di un ventennio di elaborazione, sta dalla parte del Potere e della sua Propaganda di Guerra e contro il rasoio di Occam.
Quando #Wikileaks pubblica #CollateralMurder con documenti originali del Potere, il giochino usato dalle fonti predilette da Wikipedia, crolla
E quali sono le fonti predilette da Wikipedia (e dalla antitesi del giornalismo di inchiesta che sono i debunker professionisti)? Le veline dei governi occidentali distribuite dalle Betulle e le dichiarazioni, prese face value, degli stessi politici rappresentanti del Potere.

If you're angry about the recent deletion of articles by @jesswade from #Wikipedia, there is a way to help. Of course, that way is also open to you if you are not angry about those deletions: Help to edit Wikipedia. 1/n
After all, Wikipedia is "the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit"! Only that it's not that simple, of course. It's easy to become enthusiastic about contributing to Wikipedia, start editing, have some really frustrating encounters with other members of the community, and 2/n
then leave because who needs that kind of aggravation when they are just trying to volunteer for something? This thread is about how to do good things on Wikipedia and avoid at least some of the frustration-inducing pitfalls. 3/n

1. Pendant la grande terreur stalinienne, 1500 personnes ont été exécutées par jour pendant presque un an et demi. Cette période a commencé avec les premiers procès de Moscou du début de l’année 1937.
2. Au début, la grande terreur frappa d’abord la nomenklatura communiste, la vieille garde révolutionnaire qui avait servi l’Etat soviétique au début des années 20. Puis la grande terreur se généralisa à l’ensemble de la population soviétique.
3. Une décision du PolitBuro de juillet 1937 à destination du NKVD demanda une répression des « éléments anti-soviétiques » et des « ennemis du peuple » avec des objectifs chiffrés.

Plagier #Wikipedia pour remplir un magazine, certains en ont rêvé, le "Magazine de l’Aviation" l’a fait !

Des pages entières sont d’authentiques copiés-collés d’articles de Wikipedia.

Un thread pour dénoncer ces pratiques honteuses ⤵️⤵️⤵️
Commençons avec un article sur l’histoire de Boeing. Tout va bien. Sauf que ledit article est repris quasi intégralement de l’article de Wikipedia :

Cerise sur le gâteau : les titres des paragraphes sont identiques à ceux de Wikipedia (copy-paste oblige).
Le "magazine" liste ensuite les différents modèles d'avions qui ont marqué l'histoire de Boeing. Et là, ô surprise, 100% des textes sont plagiés.

Sources : fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_247

Anyone – such as @guyverhofstadt – who vilifies Viktor Orban and the current Hungarian government, must be a dangerous antisemite, and should be condemned; because, as Netanyahu said, Orban is a "true friend of Israel". duckduckgo.com/?q=orban+true+…
So were the Nazis. But we aren't allowed to talk about that. Because free speech. Democracy. Liberty. Tolerance. You know. Our "Western values".
Now, about this recent Nazi-esque "Cathedral of Light" performance by #Ukraine's US-NATO backed – and #Israeli armed duckduckgo.com/?q=israel+arms… – openly neo-Nazi Azov Regiment...
