POTUS doesn’t have an open borders policy, you disingenuous a-hole, AKA Republican.

[MikeJM @1954Astro]

@BeschlossDC Surely JFK was a touch football champion.

@megynkelly @tedlieu And who *were* you again?

[MikeJM @1954Astro]

@AngelaBelcamino Socially anxious AF.

@Zippy617 I’ve been here nine years and you already have more followers than I do. 🤷‍♂️

@SciRocker My son texted earlier that we should go to an LSU football game in Baton Rouge this year. Cheapest tickets for game against Auburn, in nosebleed section, are $125. When I was at LSU from ‘72-‘75, GOOD seats were…$7. General cost of living has grown nowhere near that.

[MikeJM @1954Astro]

@SciRocker We rarely go to concerts anymore. Cost of tickets is prohibitive unless you want to sit five miles away from the stage.
Saw Ian Anderson circa 2014 & got good tickets for reasonable price. Cured me of wanting to sit out in the boondocks no matter how (relatively) inexpensive.

[MikeJM @1954Astro]

@SciRocker Been that way for awhile. It's another symptom of wealth inequality in my opinion.
In 2013 my son & I went to a Stanley Cup final game in Boston. Tickets were just a few rows from the top of the arena. Nearly $600/ticket. Bucket list item that won't be repeated.

@SoSofieFatale Actually I like west texas for the dark skies. The paucity of people is just a bonus. Of course, the low population is why there are dark skies, though even that is being negatively impacted by bright lights used by 24/7 fracking operations.

[MikeJM @1954Astro]

@SoSofieFatale The only part of texas I like (have lived here for 45 years) is west texas…because there are hardly any people out there. 😂

@MikeJoPro The former is in denial about their core beliefs

@bryanbehar Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Rush (as far as I know they will not perform live again)

[MikeJM @1954Astro]

@ejthies15 Chik-Fil-A is SO overrated. Can’t imagine why anyone would want to imitate them. If you want to imitate fast food chicken it should be Popeyes.

[MikeJM @1954Astro]

@gregolear But they were doing this long before anyone referred to them as fascists, etc. In fact, there were occasions when Obama was described as fascist and authoritarian.

@RadioFreeTom Circling back to Kornbluth’s “The Marching Morons”

[MikeJM @1954Astro]

@RadioFreeTom Don't forget Kornbluth's "The Marching Morons." I won't insult anyone's intelligence by delineating whom that title makes me think of.

[MikeJM @1954Astro]

@GregAbbott_TX How many “2nd amendment deaths” will happen in texas this weekend for no good reason?

[MikeJM @1954Astro]

Athlete activism may be headed to Tokyo. Tommie Smith will be watching. https://t.co/xscrvkdj2g
