Touché. Thanks

Yup. I don't trust Patel's FBI as far as I could toss that rapscallion, so photo "evidence" needs review. But IF he did what they say, he's not the 1st young man to get caught up in the moment. My point was and is: his arrest was completely over the top theater for the sake of Fascistic terror.

Putin finally has a new USSR - the United States Sucking up to Russia.

Aw, well. It stayed above zero the whole time.

For good measure, I'm also boycotting Amazon, since Mr Bezos also owns that.
