Kenny Stone

@EchoesofWarYT :-(

A US senator killed a 28 year old woman, left her to drown, spent zero days in jail, and then served 40 more years in the Senate. 57 years ago tonight. Almost nobody remembers her name. 57 years ago tonight, July 18 1969, on a tiny island called Chappaquiddick that most Americans could not find on a map, the most infamous car accident in US history happened while the entire world was staring at the sky waiting for men to walk on the moon. Senator Ted Kennedy left a cottage party for the "Boiler Room Girls," the young women who had worked themselves to exhaustion on his brother Bobby's campaign the year before Bobby was shot, and he drove off with 28 year old Mary Jo Kopechne around 11:15 pm. He said he was taking her to the ferry. Instead the car went off the Dike Bridge, a narrow wooden bridge with no guardrail, and flipped upside down into the black tidal water of Poucha Pond. Kennedy got out. Mary Jo did not. And here is the part history never forgave: he did not knock on the lit up house just yards away that had a phone, he did not call police, he walked back to the party and then he went to bed. He reported it roughly 10 hours later, the next morning, only after two fishermen had already found the car and her body. The diver who pulled her out, John Farrar, said she had likely survived for a while inside an air pocket and might be alive today if anyone had simply called for help that night. Two days later Neil Armstrong stepped onto the moon, and so the greatest achievement in human history shared the front page with a drowned woman and a senator who waited until sunrise. The punishment for all of it: a guilty plea to leaving the scene, a two month suspended sentence, not a single day served. He kept his Senate seat for 40 more years until he died in 2009, one of the most powerful men in the country. Strip away the famous last name and you are left with something painfully simple. A young woman trusted the wrong man to drive her home, and he chose himself. Say her name tonight. Not his. Mary Jo Kopechne.

@Leo_Drake_15 @shelbystardust If you can’t tell the difference between Trump and the other 45 presidents, then it’s not me who has a problem…

@swat671 @shelbystardust Why do we need to hate Trump? How is he any worse than the other president we’ve had who said they fix America but did fuck all for it?

it’s ok to love America and because I love America, I fucking hate Donald Trump and every criminal grifting this country into oblivion.

@InsideLucysHead For #3, I think they’d be more mad at you returning… “It was so quiet with you gone…”

Top ten reasons why dogs are better pets than cats... 1. Dogs will tilt their heads and try to understand every word you say. Cats will ignore you and take a nap. 2. Cats look silly on a leash. 3. When you come home from work, your dog will be happy and lick your face. Cats will still be mad at you for leaving in the first place. 4. Dogs will give you unconditional love until the day they die. Cats will make you pay for every mistake you've ever made since the day you were born. 5. A dog knows when you're sad. And he'll try to comfort you. Cats don't care how you feel, as long as you remember where the can opener is. 6. Dogs will bring you your slippers. Cats will drop a dead mouse in your slippers. 7. When you take them for a ride, dogs will sit on the seat next to you. Cats have to have their own private basket, or they won't go at all. 8. Dogs will come when you call them. And they'll be happy. Cats will have someone take a message and get back to you. 9. Dogs will play fetch with you all day long. The only thing cats will play with all day long is small rodents or bugs, preferably ones that look like they're in pain. 10. Dogs will wake you up if the house is on fire. Cats will quietly sneak out the back door.

@Daisy_650 You get “pregnant by mistake”.

Honestly answer guys?😂

@ohhanxiety POTUS

What do you call 🤔

@Marlayna29 Hey, if I’m seeing her naked in person, I don’t really care that much. Gigity!

Men, is this true?

@OnDisasters Damn! Good flying! Any flight, walk away, all that jazz.

"Always fly the plane till you crash it". May 2024. Cessna 210 had an engine issue over Sydney (Australia). The pilot followed the motto above and was able to glide into an emergency landing. No one was hurt

My boyfriend bought me a diamond ring... The stone was cut in the shape of a four-leaf clover. I wore it all the time to show how much it meant to me. One day, I got curious and had it valued at a jeweller's. Unfortunately, they told me that my boyfriend had been swindled, as the diamond was actually a cubic zirconia. It was a sham rock.

@CAgovernor @GavinNewsom As much as I hate Trump’s whole “press conference” the other day, I do have a question- why doesn’t California count mail-in ballots when we get them? Why do we have to wait until Election Day to start? Wouldn’t it go quicker if we counted them sooner?

@Andie00471 How cool of you! (Pun intended….) If more people were like you, we’d all be better off.

Went out to lunch today with a friend. Our waiter appeared to be HS age perhaps one of his first summer job experiences. While he was taking our order, he accidentally knocked the communal water pitcher into my lap. He looked like he wanted to die. I laughed and said this is the coolest I’ve been all week! By the time we left my sundress still had huge wet splotches. Still left him a 20% tip. I strolled back to my car sopped but without a care in the world! Life is too short to be a Karen! TGIF peeps! 😘

@SGTWipper1Each Infantry sounds more like Naval Infantry (I.e., our resident crayon eaters.)

Reaction to Snakes • Civilian: Runs away from the snake screaming. • Paratrooper: Lands on and kills the snake. • Armor: runs over snake, giggles, and looks for more snakes. • Infantry: "Look, a putty cat. Come 'ere kitty....Ouch! Hey, that's not a putty tat." • Army Aviation: Has GPS grid to snake. Can't find snake. Back to base for crew rest and the club and some sort of drink called "The Snake." • Ranger: Plays with the snake, then eats it. • 2nd Ranger: Assaults the snake's home and secures it for use by friendly snakes. • MI: analyzes all available intelligence and national asset input on the reptilian situation; reports sighting of Godzilla to National Command Authority. • JAG: Advises the snake on the rules of engagement and the law of war as it pertains to the snake and its defensive posture. • Quartermaster: Captures snake and applies a National Stock Number (NSN) to it. Implements a Found On Installation (FOI) procedure and picks up snake on property book. Has company commander sign hand receipt for "Snake, Green, One Each," as non-expendable unit property. • Chemical Corps: Starts to gas the little booger, but then realizes that there is an M-18, A-2 Respirator especially made for snakes, remembers the Chemical Corps Motto, "UTRWBAG" (Up Their Rear With Bugs and Gas), and conducts three experiments on it that have been strictly prohibited by the Clinton Treaty of 1999. • Navy SEAL: Expends all ammunition, several grenades and calls for naval gunfire in a failed attempt to kill the snake. The snake bites the SEAL then retreats to safety. • Artillery: Kills snake, but in the process kills several hundred civilians with a massive TOT with three FA BDEs in support. Mission is considered a success and all participants (cooks, mechanics, clerks) are awarded Silver Stars. • Marine Recon: Follows the snake and gets lost. • Pathfinder: Guides the snake elsewhere. • AF Fighter Pilot: Mis-identifies the snake as a Russian HIND helicopter and engages it with missiles. Crew chief paints a snake on airplane. • AF Pararescue: Wounds the snake in first encounter, then feverishly works to save the snake's life. • Green Beret: Makes contact with the snake, builds rapport, wins its heart and mind, then trains it to kill other snakes.

@vxylily I wouldn’t mind. Hell, I’ve slept with one.

Can you reject

@JoelVinette As an American, I feel horrible about that. I still cannot believe how stupid some of my fellow countrymen are. I’m sorry for them.

Canada has been really attacked by Trump & his administration, threatening our sovereignty, tariffs, American senators disrespecting us. I’d like to know who’s on team Canada. 🍁 Everyone across the globe in solidarity with Canadians flood the comment section with our flag 🇨🇦.

@Leo_Drake_15 @shelbystardust Uh, what?

@swat671 @shelbystardust How so? Because he’s not letting in dangerous people into the country by opening the borders?

@nbcbayarea It’s “Morgan Territory Regional Preserve”, it’s not a state park. It’s part of East Bay Regional Parks.

UPDATE: A brush fire is still burning near Clayton Friday afternoon. The fire prompted an evacuation warning to Morgan Territory State Park and Mount Diablo State Park. Authorities warned residents in the area they should prepare to evacuate. nbcbay.com/9KmtCpM

@vxylily Why is being single “a problem”?

What could be the problem

@CrazyVibes_1 It’s mind boggling what humans are capable of doing to each other…

Three years ago I sued @PatrickByrne for lying about me. He claimed that I took a bribe and committed treason. He implied I was in some part responsible for the Hamas attack of October 7th. His lies caused real damage and endangered my family. On Friday I was awarded $1.7M in punitive damages by a Reagan-appointed federal judge. The court determined that everything he said about me was a complete fiction. For those of you who don’t know Patrick Byrne, he is the former Overstock CEO who lost control of his company when it became public he was sleeping with convicted Russian agent Maria Butina. He is the man who was in the Oval Office with Michael Flynn and Sidney Powell leading up to the January 6th insurrection. He is a clownish footnote in history. But his lies travel far and wide. He is a fraud who did the bidding of Donald Trump and Steve Bannon. This isn’t the first defamation case brought against Byrne, and it won’t be the last. Even after losing, he is still doing it. He continues to tell his audience he has “three dynamite voicemails” and a former federal agent whose testimony confirms his story. Byrne had three years to bring that evidence to court. He never produced it. The voicemails he did produce, the court found, “do not mention a bribe, implicate contemporaneous involvement in any illegal scheme by Plaintiff, or otherwise independently corroborate Defendant’s story.” The former federal agent Byrne relied on, John Moynihan, gave sworn testimony that contradicted him. The FBI agent Byrne claimed had backed him up denied it under oath. Those are not my findings. Those are the findings of a federal court. And nothing prevents Byrne from releasing the voicemails he keeps promising his audience. He never has, because the court has already listened to what he produced and found they prove nothing. Patrick will try not pay this judgment. He didn’t pay the $34,969 the court ordered six months ago either. His strategy is delay. Fire the lawyer. Skip the hearing. File nonsense with courts that have already ruled. Repeat the lie on Alex Jones while the clock runs. He is not a whistleblower or a spy. He is a man who got played by a Russian intelligence asset, lost his company over it, and has been performing a spy fantasy on the internet ever since. He is a coward who wouldn’t even show up in court to face me. He is hiding in Dubai, where he fled during my case to avoid being deposed, and told the court a story about a Venezuelan hit squad to explain it. He will run from this judgment the same way he ran from my trial. Fine. Every defamatory statement is a new lawsuit. I have as much time as he has words.
