A Republic, If You Can Keep It

Elon Musk, in an effort to prevent The Onion from using Alex Jones’ InfoWars account on Xitter, is claiming that his site owns it, not the user.

I doubt that it will be missed by the Sandy Hook families that, by doing so, Musk is admitting that Xitter owns everything that was posted to the InfoWars account.

In fact, Musk has now opened the door for anyone harmed by shit posted on his dying site to sue the site. That would be anyone anywhere in the world, so good luck with that.

You hate to see it.

Late to respond to this, but we don’t plan on leaving the country, even with EU passports. We do plan on leaving Texas, but that was our plan before the election, we wanted to move to a blue state so sometime next year we will be headed out to Washington state.
I also do believe the country will survive. A lot of our compatriots won’t and that’s the sad part.

Whether this state is my color or not makes no difference to me. This is my home, and this is where I want to be.

Well the main driver, really, is that MrsMe has “absolutely had it” with summer in Houston. She spent some time this summer up near Seattle and fell in love with the scenery and the weather.

You should probably visit Seattle in January/February and see if you still love it.

That’s the plan. A bonus is that we lived in Ol’Blighty and in Ireland for the better part of the early 00s so we’re used to gray and wet darkness.

Who held Trump’s beer?

Seriously, this is horrific. The FBI will be turned into the Gestapo, targeting Trump’s perceived enemies.

Oh, and Jared Kushner’s dad is the new Ambassador to France. The first U.S. Ambassador to France was Benjamin Franklin.

I agree fully with Vivek Unelected Federal Bureaucrat Ramaswamy.

I also agree.

“It’s about the price of eggs” says country that sets a record sales figure for Black Friday.

A right wing President, elected with a thin margin, facing multiple scandals and political opposition to his most radical policies, has opted to declare martial law in South Korea.

Note-takers in Mar-A-Lago are busy.

It might be a real dilemma for Trump if Yoon becomes a dictator. I mean, he’ll want to support both of the opposing Korean countries.

Apparently the National Assembly has voted to void the declaration - as their constitution allows. Now we wait to see if the president follows it.

I just watched a video yesterday on the July Revolution in France 1830.

Things never change.

If only the French were serious enough about it that they came up with a pithy phrase about things never changing.

Eh? Oh.

I saw a report of soldiers inside the assembly that left after the vote. Some police/military apparently tried to prevent legislators from entering the building, but they were not enthusiastic and 190 of the 300 member body got inside. All 190 voted to end martial law and it was televised. All of this happened just before and after midnight.

I hope our OWA correspondent over there is safe.

Heck he’s probably jamming with his band.

Hope he’s not in jail for being in a band.
