I despise the guy but he will flat out state their plan and nobody seems to pay attention. He detailed their plan for claiming 2020 was stolen before the election. It's no wonder he chose prison over testifying

    I wonder how many younger folks get the reference? Edit: The Dogs Playing Poker paintings were the backdrop of my childhood. Every house with a finished basement had these hanging on the wood paneling. Often with a wet bar and/or a poker, pool or ping pong table. So I got curious and so far have been down a shallow rabbit hole. Interesting findings:

    Larson made up the Gus Nickerson name and later regretted it. The real artist is Cassius Marcellus Coolidge The paintings were done between 1894 and 1910. They were a hit in the 70's

    Cuban exiles on a U.S.-registered speedboat attempted to enter Cuba undetected, but were confronted by border patrol in Cuban waters on Wednesday. According to the Cuban Interior Ministry, the Cuban nationals on the speedboat fired on the border agents who then returned fire — killing four and injuring six of the men. This comes as the Trump administration’s blockade of fuel has triggered a severe humanitarian and economic crisis in Cuba, compounding the impact of the U.S. economic embargo in place since 1962. In response to the growing humanitarian crisis, activists are organizing a flotilla to deliver aid to the island. “We cannot allow us to go back to the days of gunboat diplomacy, where the U.S. thinks that it is allowed to violate sovereign nations, and it can have hegemony over the hemisphere,” says CodePink co-founder Medea Benjamin, who is taking part in the flotilla. “These are sovereign countries. We must leave them alone.”
