š§µ I'm reworking an old thread about Clarence and Ginni Thomas from 2018.
The Thomases have a friend named Harlan Crow, a very rich real estate developer who has sculptures of Vladimir Lenin, Josef Stalin, Karl Marx, Nicolae Ceausescu, Che Guevara, etc. in his backyard garden.
I would say the most egregious "favor" Crow did for them was uncovered by @mmcintire in 2011. Crow financed the restoration of A.S. Varn & Son Oyster & Crab Factory, a cannery outside Savannah, GA & built an adjacent museum, The Pin Point Heritage Museum. nytimes.com/2011/06/19/us/ā¦

I've been screaming about this since 2018. Canada šØš¦developed the āLearn to Discernā program which taught 15,000 Ukrainians šŗš¦ how to detect and decode misinformation and propaganda.
If the Ukrainians did not have this training, they might be begging Putin to annex them.
Finland š«š®, the Netherlands š³š±, Poland šµš± & other European countries are also took measures to educate the public on Russian propaganda and cyber attacks. We continue to do nothing. #RussiaReport

This āRussian Olympic Committeeā deal is complete BS. The Russians are supposed to be banned for 4 years, starting in 2019, for blatant, systematic cheating. And then Putin lied about it. This is what happens when you make deals with criminals.
Don Corneliusāwho died in 2012āis credibly accused of brutalizing 2 women who worked for Playboy, tying them up & raping them, locking them in closet. For 3 days.
Story from their ābunny mother,ā who was part of the āclean up crew.ā
š„ This story did not get enough attention. Basically, Pence was afraid of being kidnapped by the Secret Service (presumably directed by Trump) so that the certification could not be completed. Thatās nuts!!

What in Godās name have we done to speed up the judicial system and the people who use it to delay reality?
Steve Bannon? Heās entitled to ādue process,ā but letās face it, he did it.
He was issued a subpoena and he violated it.
There is no reason this should go on for a year.

š° Julie K. Brownās series on the survivors of Jeffrey Epsteinās crimes was entered in 2 categories for the Pulitzer Prize: investigative reporting and local reporting.
It didnāt even make the finals in either category despite arguably being the reason for Epsteinās arrest.j
After Epstein served his time in a private wing of the Palm Beach County Stockade, most of the press coverage consisted of tabloid-type pictures of him and girls who looked underage.

So Amazon is buying MGM Studios, which owns all the APPRENTICE and CELEBRITY APPRENTICE tapes with outtakes of Donald Trump allegedly acting like a racist and a misogynist.
I wonder if Jeff Bezos will release them...after what Trumpās buddies did to him?
š If they really want to bring Trump to justice, the Manhattan DA, NY AG, Georgia AG & the appropriate DOJ districts should hire Dan Schneider to help them.
The only one benefitting from this ridiculous push against eradicating #COVID19 (anti-maskers, anti-vaxxers) is Putin.
It is weakening America.
The same people are weakening our democracy with voter suppression.
They are working for Russia. Plain and simple. And knowingly.
All Republicans were screaming about last year was how they wanted their lives to return to normal.
Well, this is how you get back to normal: masking and getting a vaccine.
Itās unAmerican not to do this.

š Interesting documentary on the recent college admissions scandal where many have served short prison terms for allegedly bribing the way for their offspring to get into prestigious colleges/universities, using Rick Singerās āside doorā method.

ā But the more important question is: what about the āback doorā method, where parents donate exorbitant sums of money to these same prestigious colleges/universities and their offspring miraculously get accepted?
š I donāt think Iāve ever been so blown away by a film in my life. Itās rough. Itās bone-tinglingly scary, devastating, brutal, suspenseful, heartbreaking...with a very small glimmer of hope.
