@Debradelai Can't see anything, just that the account is suspended.

@Jaime Couldn't agree more.I got called a moron once by Mr Montes Bradley. It was my fault, apologized and went on with life.Important is an open mindset; the idea that you might be wrong or have a lack of information. For example, I always had a strong opinion on Bush regarding Iraqi WMD. Saul had a completely different opinion and made me realize I had no 'true' knowledge on the subject. Way later I suddenly understood a lot more after learning about the Robb Silbermann commission.

So, Barr wrote a Mueller letter:https://twitter.com/JohnWHuber/status/1109903936033644550Main results are obvious, although I was a little surprised by footnote 1. The fun part starts now. The Mueller report does not exonerate Trump from obstruction of justice. I'm already seeing some Dems closing in on that. The coming months they will milk that narrative, while more and more of the true story around Obama & co's misconduct will surface. It will be fun to watch the media funnel themselves to *another* dead end.

Tweet by Mr President:"For all of the money we are spending, NASA should NOT be talking about going to the Moon - We did that 50 years ago. They should be focused on the much bigger things we are doing, including Mars (of which the Moon is a part), Defense and Science!"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1137051097955102720I am so excited for the future! And all the people tweeting that the moon isn't part of Mars should delete their account. It's a waste of space.

@ThomasWic In 2016 I took a deep dive into American culture and politics, the 'rise' of Trump being the main cause. Never in my life I've switched politics faster, going to conservatism. I know you hated your time in the Netherlands, and won't convince you otherwise. At least most of the people here I personally know aren't bad people. They unfortunately know too many things that aren't so.

Recently I saw someone here posting 4+20 of crosby stills nash and young,.It made me remind of my childhood when i was 10, in the late 90s, when my dad played C, S, N (and Y) in the car every single time.One song was extremely influential. It teached me various harmonies, but also the power of silence. Just listen: the singing 'breaks' or 'pauses' could not have been better. It is a most subtle dance of harmony and silence. (I still break down when listening)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyquqw6GeXk

@Debradelai I'm a fan of mr. Al Jubeir. He's always very sensible and correct.Also in this interview, he warded off the biased questions on the Kashoggi report quite well.

I'm sorry for interrupting interesting conversations, but I had to post this.Milton Friedman is absolutely brilliant. For someone from the Netherlands, this is such refreshing thinking.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvNzi7tmkx0

@ThomasWic This is true.I can't speak for all Americans, but when I saw youtube twitter about it's 'non-biased' policy earlier today, there were no positive reactions, and they got ratio'd into oblivion. When I speak to people, they know it happens. Some idiots condone it, but at least most have heard the rumors and are concerned. For me that's the biggest win.

@ThomasWic @MarieGreen @baldilocks I spit out my tea when reading 'observation deck'😂 Luckily, this type of toilet is disappearing over the years (in my exprience), although it's still pretty common.I apologize for my fellow countrymen.

Today, Rutger Hauer passed away. A brilliant actor, probably underappreciated in his home country these days.My parents around 1969/70 grew up with him playing 'Floris', a series partially based on Ivanhoe, at the start of his career. Years later, in the 90s, my sisters and I enjoyed that series just as much.Youtube has the entire series. I won't expect anyone to understand/watch the series, but it may be worth to check out for a minute, for history's sake.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgtgF5XIV0Y

@2020_DJT @oystergirl @mariel @umad80 @ThomasWic For as far as I know, my entire family from both sides are farmers from Fryslân, except for my great-grand father who's Indonesian.If you look at childhood pictures of my father, you can see his Asian background very clearly, but that went away with age. Only one person has ever asked me about my Asian background without hints from my side, from a combination of looks and 'conversational demeanor', which I thought was remarkable.
