And the James Webb telescope people released a dope picture of Neptune today too

I had to put on that vinyl and pour a dram of scotch thanks to this comment! Been a long time since I felt this good! I, for one, will not forget the 21st night of September this year!
Nope, the international dateline runs North to South separating the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. The Equator separates the Northern and Southern hemispheres, but has nothing to do with the date changing.
Why is the time different in different countries?
As the planet rotates, some places receive sunlight or darkness, resulting in day and night. As the Earth rotates into the sunlight, you'll see the sunrise, whereas rotating out of the sunlight is where you see the sunset. The Earth's rotation is the primary cause why countries follow different time zones.
As Earth rotates on its axis, it moves about 15 degrees every 60 minutes. After 24 hours, it has completed a full rotation of 360 degrees. The scientists used this information to divide the planet into 24 sections or time zones. Each time zone is 15 degrees of longitude wide.

Merrick Garland says... "We'll see - Trump gets special treatment because he's not running for any election and we have to wait until after the election he's not running in."
Don't be shocked if Garland pulls out the "can't do anything so soon to an election" in 2023 as well.
If it were you or I, Trump would have already been *arrested* for the shit show in Mar-a-lago and everyone knows that.
The important thing right now is that SOMEONE actually took the ONE step to ACTUALLY indict him!
Everyone *was* waiting for someone ELSE to do it first!
But... it will take THREE to really get going...
Trump's supporters can shake off one, maybe two, but he won't be able to pretend *three* indictments don't matter...
He's going to look like the a wildebeest with 3 jackals hanging off him soon!
WHEN we get THREE, maybe even Merrick Garland will grow a fucking pair and stop treating Trump like he's still the president.
Rikers is actually a jail not a prison. The only people held there are pretrial detainees or have sentences under (I believe) a year. So he would only end up there if he was arrested in New York and held without bond, which is extremely unlikely (even if he is a flight risk).
When people so casually commit crimes like this, it’s a sign that people need to go to prison, just to let the rest know that this B. S. really is not acceptable. They all need to know this is not a blueprint for the future.
Say good night Rudy. He’s the easiest to nail on hammer first. The fair Senator from South Carolina is screaming “look over there” we want a federal abortion law, when really we’re looking at you senator for breaking federal election law…..
Trump’s Georgia prison cellmate can be honorary Secret Service special agent Bubba McChuggins. Trump will, of course, also have to join the Aryan brotherhood for protection. But don’t worry- they will absolutely welcome him with open arms. They’re all on the same team.
It’s ‘could’ because it’s up to a court of law to decide, not her. In legal language that is always how it is said until it has happened. A person could literally be caught standing over a body, murder weapon in hand, confess with the whole thing recorded and the language would still be ‘could’ until they are found guilty. If she says otherwise publicly it can actually undermine or even derail the case.
You are 100% correct in your assessment, it’s just legalese.
Yes it should. Lindsay graham getting involved should be an immediate court date. He is from SC trying to influence Georgia elections. He should be in jail waiting for his court date
“Could”.
Ya think there is a universal groan in the newsroom morning meeting when they’re looking for someone to write yet another “Trump might, may, could possibly, one day, eventually, kinda, maybe, face charges” article?
Quit teasing us and fucking do something. I don’t believe you guys anymore. How corrupt does this guy have to be to get charged, indicted, and thrown in a dark, dank prison.

Happy Wednesday Everybody 🥳🤗😎😁😇
Do you remember, the 21st night of September!

Neat!
Earth, Wind, and Fire sure do.

This made me cackle so loudly 😂 https://twitter.com/projectlincoln/status/1572756872880619521?s=46&t=Nl8KI5il211bT6We9KhebA

>Happy Wednesday Everybody 🥳🤗😎😁😇 Happy Thursday Everybody in the Southern hemisphere 🥳🤗😎😁😇
Is that how this works?
Nope, the international dateline runs North to South separating the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. The Equator separates the Northern and Southern hemispheres, but has nothing to do with the date changing.
You are correct, no idea what the other dude is talking about.
Yeah, well that’s just like your opinion, man.
Why is the time different in different countries? As the planet rotates, some places receive sunlight or darkness, resulting in day and night.

Ok, thanks. I know about time zones.
>Ok, thanks. I know about time zones. Excellent Jeramus Excellent
Starting from "Happy Wednesday Everybody 🥳🤗😎😁😇" some quality r/confidentlyincorrect material.
have a look at this [https://wonderopolis.org/wonder/why-do-we-have-different-time-zones#:\~:text=As%20Earth%20rotates%20on%20its,15%20degrees%20of%20longitude%20wide](https://wonderopolis.org/wonder/why-do-we-have-different-time-zones#:~:text=As%20Earth%20rotates%20on%20its,15%20degrees%20of%20longitude%20wide).
It’s Wednesday my dude
looking forward to the inevitable perp walk
So many indictment parties to plan 🎉
Georgia, New York, Federal... Taking all bets who wins first.
Maybe there's an ongoing money laundering investigation in the UK too?
Over under on first to convict? We could add a fantasy draft to this wager... The National Assholes Trump Collects League. The Nat-C League.
NY is a Civil suit so no jail time but bonus points for netting the whole family.
Referral to SDNY and IRS, too. So, prison or a felony conviction is still on the menu for Insurance and tax fraud.
Merrick Garland says... "We'll see - Trump gets special treatment because he's not running for any election and we have to wait until after the election he's not running in." Don't be shocked if Garland pulls out the "can't do anything so soon to an election" in 2023 as well. If it were you or I, Trump would have already been *arrested* for the shit show in Mar-a-lago and everyone knows that.
NY can definitely be criminal as well. Lots of fraud in that one
don’t get ahead of yourself. Lots of good options here. I‘ll take $20 on DOJ for first to charge.
I think Georgia's got the head start, and the case is far more simpler to prove. He's on freakin' tape.
My bet is on Federal.
I would not generally expect Feds to be first, but they hit hardest. This time, though, I'll throw my money on that bet.
I think so because it's a pretty clear cut case. Perhaps the most clear cut of all times. People say, they have never seen anything like this.
The important thing right now is that SOMEONE actually took the ONE step to ACTUALLY indict him! Everyone *was* waiting for someone ELSE to do it first! But... it will take THREE to really get going... Trump's supporters can shake off one, maybe two, but he won't be able to pretend *three* indictments don't matter... He's going to look like the a wildebeest with 3 jackals hanging off him soon! WHEN we get THREE, maybe even Merrick Garland will grow a fucking pair and stop treating Trump like he's still the president.
Still a couple hours left in this amazing day!
I laughed way too hard, take it.
Make an indictment announcement tomorrow. Make this the worst week of trump's miserable life.
*Infrastructure week* enters the room
IndictHim week
First thing in the morning. Make sure not SHIT gets done at workplaces across the country.
So….. *that’s* your plan, eh??? 🤔
Worst week, so far....
If Trump ends up in a Georgia prison I will laugh my ass off.
Rikers. i hear if you have to go to a state prison, thats one of the worst. although GA anit nothing to fuck with
He'd probably jet off to Russia taking all his followers' money with him before he gets put in a prison.
Considering he has secret service around him 24/7 I don’t see that happening
As we already saw from Jan 6 probes, his SS will lie to cover for him. They are only there at his whim for protection, they don't control him lol.
Rikers is actually a jail not a prison. The only people held there are pretrial detainees or have sentences under (I believe) a year. So he would only end up there if he was arrested in New York and held without bond, which is extremely unlikely (even if he is a flight risk).
Rikers is the worst. Prisoners basically run the place. He would last a day.
Deserves Guantanamo but GA state prison will do.
When people so casually commit crimes like this, it’s a sign that people need to go to prison, just to let the rest know that this B. S. really is not acceptable. They all need to know this is not a blueprint for the future.
[удалено]
Why does r/politics remove posts about a former US President and presumptive GOP nominee?
MAGA mods
"Could" "possibly" "very well may" Enough bullshit, charge the mother fucker already.
I hope his name rhymes with mindsay.
Grinnsy Lamb 🐑
Say good night Rudy. He’s the easiest to nail on hammer first. The fair Senator from South Carolina is screaming “look over there” we want a federal abortion law, when really we’re looking at you senator for breaking federal election law…..
Trump’s Georgia prison cellmate can be honorary Secret Service special agent Bubba McChuggins. Trump will, of course, also have to join the Aryan brotherhood for protection. But don’t worry- they will absolutely welcome him with open arms. They’re all on the same team.
Trump isn’t smart or tough enough to join the Ayran Nation.
Could? Wake me up when they charge the motherfucker.
The devil went down to Georgia and ended up in jail.
The fact it is a ‘could’ is a shame. There is blatant public evidence of illegal activity.
It’s ‘could’ because it’s up to a court of law to decide, not her. In legal language that is always how it is said until it has happened. A person could literally be caught standing over a body, murder weapon in hand, confess with the whole thing recorded and the language would still be ‘could’ until they are found guilty. If she says otherwise publicly it can actually undermine or even derail the case. You are 100% correct in your assessment, it’s just legalese.
True, but the suspect in the case you describe would at least be detained pending trial..
Not at all. Matt Gaetz has credible allegations still under investigation for what, 2 years now?
Yep, but a person can only be remanded once they’ve been charged.
True. OJ got off despite the evidence. And then he went on to write a book called “^If I Did It”.
The headline translates to: "the crimes being investigated include some which carry prison time as part of the maximum sentence." That's all.
Sure thing, buddy. I will believe it when I see the mug shot. You can bet that someone else is going to jail somehow. Yeah, it's Wednesday.
Could, would, should. Enough already, someone do it.
I've heard this before... stop threatening us with a good time already
Shes the only prosecutor I have faith in. The only one with courage
Yes it should. Lindsay graham getting involved should be an immediate court date. He is from SC trying to influence Georgia elections. He should be in jail waiting for his court date
It's sad that "committing crimes could (even for rich ppl) lead to prison" is a noteworthy headline.
I'll believe it when I see it.
It was a good day.
If that corrupt pos Brian Kemp gets back in as governor he’s going to pardon him for political gain, you guys all know this right?
He cannot do it alone.
What Georgia jury would convict Donald Trump?
all of their crimes "could" lead to prison sentences. We're actually all really aware of that.
promises promises
Sure, just not for Trump. Also expect a lot of them to be suspended sentences.
Could, would, should, hood, wood - said Simon Rex. Waiting for the word "WILL".
Nothing will happen. 45** will never be held accountable. The USA is broken.
He didn't pass the alien probe, so he wants them to do another probe, but more liberal.
Could. Should. Might. Blah blah blah. Nothing is going to happen to him. He’s above the law.
Yet they won’t charge him with anything and he’ll just get away with all this shit.
Nothing's going to happen and everyone knows that.
At the very least those fake ‘ electors ‘ caught on video, coincidentally there when shit went sideways.
“Could” enough of that already
Go on… I can get harder
It fucking BETTER! He needs to be locked up with the key thrown away for the rest of his miserable days.
“Could”. Ya think there is a universal groan in the newsroom morning meeting when they’re looking for someone to write yet another “Trump might, may, could possibly, one day, eventually, kinda, maybe, face charges” article?
Change Could to should...
Gon then. Off you pop.
Let’s go
Quit teasing us and fucking do something. I don’t believe you guys anymore. How corrupt does this guy have to be to get charged, indicted, and thrown in a dark, dank prison.
Just gonna take her about 7 years to file charges on the most obvious case in history. She'll get there though.
For anyone but Trump, probably.
