Among the many myths, there is one about Nüwa 女媧, the goddess who created the world.

US Senate votes to acquit former President Trump on an article of impeachment for "incitement of insurrection." After voting to acquit, #MoscowMitch McConnell was slamming Trump for his lies leading up to Jan 6 and the violence at the Capitol. McConnell’s vote to convict could have changed everything, but he may have left his spine in Kentucky.
There are explanations why Trump is sitting at home on his gold toilet while his lawyers speak for him, instead of personally testifying.
