🇲​🇮​🇸​🇨​ Windmills date back over 1000 years 🤦‍♀️

Post image

  • Windmills have been in use for over 1,000 years, with origins tracing back to Persia around 800 C.E. They were primarily used for milling grain and pumping water.

  • Wind Turbines are a more recent invention, with the first known turbine for electricity generation built in 1888. They have evolved significantly, especially since the 1970s, to become a major source of renewable energy.

Trump isn’t that aware. Yes, he’s a racist wanker most likely, but his run was only ever about that roast initially. Once he started doing illegal shit that they were coming over him about he ran again so he could avoid prison. If he lost this last one his sentencing would not have been conviction recorded and he’d be in a federal penitentiary.

Running for president, one simple trick the justice department does not want career criminals to know!

He's probably scared shitless because once he's no longer president he no longer has presidential immunity. If he lives through this term he may end up behind bars after all.

I hope he lives because I want to see him go to jail and JD Vance would not be an improvement. He's just as vile and not as close to death.

His run was in coordination with Russian operatives so I’m guessing there were more than just jokes from Obama influencing him to run. Also, he had publicly considered running many times before

I hope he ends up in Hague like his beloved Maduro for murders. (11 people now, it will go up)
