I'm getting ready to give away an 2017 iMac. It's well out of date for macOS but will run linux. Gorgeous sound and screen. I need to power it up to get the full specs of memory etc.

If you're interested and can pick it up from north Brisbane (or negotiate something else), please DM

Do you remember when a woman started a racist rant at John McCain? He stopped her and admonished her.

NOT ONE of these people, members of Congress and the government, has the decency to do that.

NOT ONE.
Trump, continued: "What the Somalian people have done to Minnesota is not even believable. It’s not even believable. And a lot of it starts with the governor. A lot of it starts with Barack HUSSEIN Obama, because that’s when people started coming in... They want to kiss our country good night."
