Catch Twitterverse 22

You … sense? Dude, you’re so stupid, you don’t even realize your own senses lie to you as you lie to yourself.

 

Everyone with a functioning brain knows the filibuster would be gone the very second it got in the way of McConnell being able to get something he wanted ... and that the only reason it's still standing is that that scenario didn't arise during the Trump administration.

It should also be obvious that there's a tactical advantage in being the one to kill it.

But blah blah tradition, blah blah congeniality, etc., etc., etc.

 

Interesting read, even if he’s wrong about a few things.

 

Was the family murdered? Asking for all the medical personnel who worked in abortion clinics that were bombed, shot up, and/or set fire by the tolerant right.

 

Yes, we should have hugged Hitler till he stopped gassing people.

 

WTF

 

The loony left is loony.

 

Fun fact: Political violence committed by the right in the U.S. outnumbered political violence committed by the left by a margin of at least 3-to-1.

"A data analysis performed for Quartz by Athena Chapekis and Lauren Donahoe of the Prosecution Project found that about 75% of those charged for making threats against US politicians come from the ideological right, based on cases going back to 1990.They are almost entirely US citizens, male, and roughly 85% white. About half of the defendants were under 30. The intended targets were primarily Democrats."

And when you look at domestic extremist killings, the ratio is something like 20-to-1:

"Over the last decade, 71% of domestic extremist related killings in the US were linked to right-wing extremists, while Islamic extremists committed 26% of the killings, the report notes. An Islamic extremist committed the single deadliest incident in 2017: the New York City vehicle ramming attack killed eight people. Left-wing extremists and those who didn’t fall in the previous two categories carried out the other 3% of deaths. 2017 was the second year in a row in which black nationalists committed murders in the US."

 

Interestingly, the book he's reading has a sympathetic character who says "The only good Indian is a dead Indian," but that's perfectly okay.

 

Is there any way to find out in real time what members of Congress are trading because I could use a sweet bathroom renovation, maybe a hot tub too

 

That Twitter account has resources to help you do that, and there’s a couple of other accounts who provide similar information on other folks who are either suspiciously good, or give out suspiciously bad info.
