White collar crimes usually do walk out of court free. Take Skillings from Enron Scandal. He was convicted on May 25, 2006 but walked out of court and didn't get sent to prison until Dec 13 2006 after appeal failed.
I'm concerned about the college age group that are abandoning Biden over the Gaza genocide and are turning to RFKjr. RFKjr certainly has an effective campaign going on TikTok based on what some of my younger acquaintances are telling me. I at least educated one of these folks about RFKjr

HCB sent me a recipe for artichoke. I love artichoke, & I was w/ her the 1st time I ever had them (at Baba Yaga in Houston--gawd, I loved that restaurant). It was a b-day lunch, & it's kind of wild anything tasted good that day, bc I had the worst hangover I'd ever had in my life. In fact, I'd woken up on HCB's bathroom floor that morning, freaking out, believing I'd gone blind ...

I think I only used teflon for about 10 years before switching back to stainless steel. BTW if one has pet birds, while cooking with teflon, it releases chemicals into the air that can kill a caged bird in the next room!
'The power-user way to use Google Search web now takes a lot of clicks. You'd want to click on "more" and then "Web" for actual web results, and then to get Google to actually pay attention to the words you type in, you'd want to click "Tools" and change "all results" to "verbatim."

“Rep. Matt #Gaetz (R-Fla.) on Thursday ominously invoked Donald #Trump’s call to far-right violent extremists while joining the former president at his criminal trial in New York.
“Standing back and standing by, Mr. President,” Gaetz wrote on social media, along with a photo of himself positioned behind Trump at his trial.”
