There’s some debate now whether some of it it got to the surface, it burned up in the atmosphere, or it just flew through the far upper atmosphere then exited the top of the atmosphere and continued on its orbit around the sun only a little worse for wear. The fact it was visible offshore at altitude along 100-ish miles of coast said any impact(s) could have been dozens to a couple hundred miles out to sea. ---

> [@Typo\_Negative](#): > > And they all ruled against him in his election steal bullshit. I think we’re gonna be OK That’s hardly the full list of what we have to worry about. Everything from abortion to voting rights to trans equality to government regulation to climate change and the EPA will all be on the table. Maybe those issues will be moot by then, but they will have their equivalents. Or look at how lower courts played a role in limiting Trump’s Muslim ban. Blocking outright lies, fabrications, distortions, and conspiracy theories is one thing. What happens when the Right can put together a halfway plausible justification? States’ Rights, limited government, repealing “judicial overstep”, interpretation by the Founding Fathers’ ideas of what democracy and equality mean - all these are potential issues to dread. ---

I’m so glad that this got absolutely no attention. [https://www.donaldjtrump.com/news/statement-by-donald-j-trump-45th-president-of-the-united-states-of-america\_22](https://www.donaldjtrump.com/news/statement-by-donald-j-trump-45th-president-of-the-united-states-of-america_22) The twice impeached one term President has issued a statement regarding the pause of the J&J vaccine, accusing the FDA and Pfizer of colluding to damage Johnson & Johnson. I’m guessing that this one was brewing in the toxic waste dump of his brain because he hates Pfizer for not announcing the vaccine before the election and Woody Johnson is one of his cronies. And I love it when Trump attacks corporations, he seems determined to drive big business into the arms of the Democrats. ---

> [@Ann\_Hedonia](#): > > I’m so glad that this got absolutely no attention. By clicking that link, I discovered that disgraced former twice-impeached ex-president Trump (who only refers to himself as “the 45th” with none of those other qualifiers), is issuing one of these releases every day. And they get all the attention they deserve. The Twitter withdrawal must be killing him. I hope its painful. The sun is shining a little more brightly lately. ---

> [@BobLibDem](#): > > I do know Biden played his first round of golf in the last week. I could be completely wrong, but my understanding is that Joe did not play at one of his own courses, nor stay at one of his own hotels, and therefore was not able to pocket the exorbitant fees that he would have otherwise been able to charge for himself and his security entourage, on the taxpayer’s dime. Poor Joe, he doesn’t seem to understand the perks of the presidency. ---
