The Revolution was fought to create a Democratic Republic where power is in the hands of the people through elected representation. Free& fair elections is the heart of that system

The GOP has decided that they’d prefer a Kingdom w/one white man holding absolute power

Sickening

QAnon-ers' Magic Cure for Coronavirus: Just Drink Bleach!

Source: TheDailyBeast.com

As the global death toll from an alarming new coronavirus surged this week, promoters of the pro-Trump QAnon conspiracy theory were urging their fans to ward off the illness by purchasing and drinking dangerous bleach.

The substance—dubbed “Miracle Mineral Solution” or “MMS”—has long been promoted by fringe groups as a combination miracle cure and vaccine for everything from autism to cancer and HIV/AIDS.


The Food and Drug Administration has repeatedly warned consumers not to drink MMS, last year calling it effectively a “dangerous bleach” that could cause “severe vomiting” and “acute liver failure.” But those warnings haven’t stopped QAnon devotees—who believe in a world where Donald Trump is at war with shadowy deep-state “cabal”—from promoting a lethal substance as a salve for a health crisis that speaks to the darkest recesses of fringe thought.

“I’m going to have to get home, and MMS the whole state,” prominent QAnon promoter Jordan Sather told his audience in a recent video. “MMS the whole shit out of everything.”

Is throwing stones at the Bidens the best they can do by way of defending Trump?

Maybe they should just sit down and shut up.

Adam Schiff's Observations on Trump Lawyers' Opening Arguments

Adam Schiff
@RepAdamSchiff
After listening to the President’s lawyers opening arguments, I have three observations:

They don’t contest the facts of Trump’s scheme.

They’re trying to deflect, distract from, and distort the truth.

And they are continuing to cover it up by blocking documents and witnesses.

SSL on a WordPress website

I apologize in advance if this isn't the right group for this question. The Website, DB, & Software Developers group doesn't seem to get much traffic these days, so I thought I'd try here.

I inherited the duty of maintaining a website for my church and the hosting site is telling me I need to set something called Secure Certificate Xpress to update automatically. However, I don't want to pay for that if the Really Simple SSL WordPress plugin I've recently installed will serve a similar purpose.

Any thoughts on this? Also, if this isn't the right group for this question, could someone please point me in the right direction? Thanks for any help!

Are all SIM cards created equal?

I recently bought a cell phone (LG) online that is on the AT&T network. After I had finished charging the phone, I turned it on and received the following message:

SIM not provisioned MM #2

I contacted the company from which I ordered the phone and was told they sell only phones and that I would have to contact AT&T about getting a SIM card and getting the card activated. I don't want to make a mistake with this, so my question is, are all SIM cards created equal or would I have to get a specific type of SIM card? Thanks for any advice!

"The only part of the job that @realDonaldTrump ever liked as President was running for it."

@EricWolfson
Replying to
@realDonaldTrump
The only part of the job that
@realDonaldTrump
ever liked as President was running for it.

So he never stopped.

He goes around staging useless rallies to feel good about himself, ranting like a mad man.

It’s not making America great again.

It’s pathetic.
