Sheldon Whitehouse are requesting a meeting with Chief Justice John Roberts to discuss "the Supreme Court's worsening ethics crisis" and have sent a letter imploring Roberts to "take appropriate steps" to ensure Samuel #Alito recuses himself from 2020 election and Jan. 6 cases.
Da Pflanzen und ich ja ein sehr gespaltenes Verhältnis zueinander haben:
Hat zufällig jemand von euch eine Strickanleitung für eine Zimmerpflanze für einen Topf mit 20 cm Durchmesser?
Gerne Boost!

Reply to Polly, not me, please! Thanks
@GottaLaff what a pity. Hope you can still sell it for a good price. 🙏Friend of mine is in the same situation, already has a new one in another country, desperately wants to move - and they can't sell since months and are on hold. When you don't want to sell, people want it. When you need, no.
@GottaLaff that was my big problem here. Renovation was over 4 times the house price before I even could move in... (But my one was an old ruin.) Hope, you can do a lot of things one by one, after you're in. Love takes time.
The most ridiculous thing about cop procedural shows is when they ask where a person was, and what they were doing at a specific time the person always has perfect and immediate recall. I'd be desperately trying to remember what day of the week that was, and trying to open my phone calendar. If I was the cop, I'd immediately be suspicious of the person who remembered exactly where they were and what they were doing.
@RickiTarr This. I can't even remember what I had for dinner yesterday, and I am far from having an idea, when I met whom - maybe where, but not the year. 😎 People who remember days and times are highly suspicious to me.

1/… First, via Lawrence O'Donnell:
J.D. Vance was on the phone the entire time. He wasn’t taking in a word of testimony. Tuberville, to his credit, looking straight ahead, taking it all in as best he can, whatever sense he can make of it
@GottaLaff Have you heard of #CUMEX ? Huge tax fraud in Germany, where they changed ownership of stocks and got tax refunds twice... Even cancelor Scholz envolved, and the prosecutors are blocked any way they go. When it comes to big money, my hopes for justice are lowest level.
