Lesson learned: don’t waste words on someone less interested in sincere and constructive dialogue and more fixated on scoring points and propping themself up.
Can’t achieve connection when someone’s high on their own hype. Time is precious. Emotion is a fuel best spent wisely.
A judge has ruled that a Washington, DC group's protest signage referencing allegations against Trump was not legally obscene and that its "8647" flag did not constitute a true threat or incitement of violence.
Here's what the judge said and how the First Amendment applies.
@JohnyTwoTimes13@NJAssemblyGOP@GR_Hoff They didn’t kill perks… NO ONE killed perks. The OP said that some retail industry PR spin guru alleged this might imperil the future of perks. Read the fine print and stop letting this scambolic GOP social media account fool you. It’s embarrassing this is an “official” account.
@JohnyTwoTimes13@NJAssemblyGOP@GR_Hoff Oh yeah, you get to keep your 1 free coffee out of 10, and those 9 coffees you paid for will cost anywhere from $2.50 to $9.99 per cup due to dynamic pricing. You seem like the kind of guy who might struggle with basic math, but surely you can see how this would be a bad thing.
@NJAssemblyGOP@GR_Hoff That actually sounds fantastic… what the hell is wrong with you?
Last I checked, the GOP was the party that believed in the free market. But you’re against a bill that would fight unfair price fixing?
It pains you SO much to give the Dems credit, you’d rather spout nonsense.
The reason I don’t want a “Christian nation” isn’t because I’m against Christianity.
It’s because I’ve studied church history and learned about the horrors caused by the church fusing itself with the empire.
Separation of church and state helps keep Christianity Christian.
The man on the left can't even be honest about a photo.
That's not Trump at 20. He was 17 when that picture was taken at the New York Military Academy, a military school his daddy paid for so he'd look tough.
Two years later, when real war came calling, the same daddy paid his office tenant, a Queens podiatrist, to invent fake bone spurs so his son wouldn't have to go to Vietnam.
The same man who mocked POWs, "I like people who weren't captured". Trump himself couldn't remember which foot hurt. Left foot. Right foot. Both feet. Whichever foot kept him home.
That's just the beginning.
He was found liable for sexual abuse by a federal jury.
He is a convicted felon, 34 counts.
He cheated on every wife he's ever had.
He sold crypto coins from the Oval Office.
He accepted a $400M jet from Qatar.
He tripled his wealth in office while cutting food assistance for the poorest Americans.
The man on the right?
.@BarackObama. Who at 18 was just a kid in Hawaii, before going on to:
✅ Pull America out of the worst financial collapse since the Great Depression
✅ Save the auto industry and millions of American jobs
✅ Give 20 million Americans healthcare for the first time
✅ Kill Bin Laden
✅ Serve two terms with zero criminal indictments, zero sexual abuse verdicts, zero felony convictions
One of these men is one of the greatest presidents in modern American history.
The other can't even tell the truth about how old he was in a photo.
You’d think that his first official event would be an in-person town hall where he shares with the public the nature of his ailment and has an honest and frank discussion about his path to recovery… but nope!
This may be one of the most egregious political unforced errors EVER.
So @CongressmanKean's first official act after disappearing from his duties as an elected representative is to throw a fundraiser for himself?
And his only proof of life during his 111 day absence was stock trades?
He's not representing anyone but himself. NJ-7 deserves better.
@LizzieKFoley@CongressmanKean You’d think that his first official event would be an in-person town hall where he shares with the public the nature of his ailment and has an honest and frank discussion about his path to recovery… but nope!

Is it just me, or does it seem like any post by GOP members of the New Jersey state legislature that is more than 80 words is so clearly formulaic that it could quite certainly have been composed using AI?
@NJAssemblyGOP@GovSherrillNJ@NewJerseyOAG So online processing fees are only bad when the State of New Jersey charges them, but are OK for the remaining NINETY PERCENT OF ALL THE OTHER CHARGES THAT WE HAVE TO PAY that come from online purchases and payments??!?
@DStahl01 People in NJ don’t realize how incredibly powerful state & local government is in this setup we have, and now that the media narrative and political discourse are nationalized, we’re following the lead of everyone else without realizing what actually impacts US in New Jersey.
REAL TALK: I know primarying Josh Gottheimer is the cause du jour, but this year the ship has sailed.
What we NEED to do is strategize about challenging Nick Scutari, Paul Sarlo, and Brian Stack.
It’s time to stop complaining and start holding people accountable for this mess.
Point to me where Vineland is on a map of LD24.
Then explain to me why you’ve been complicit in the MORAL FAILURE of homelessness in Newton not being aided in any meaningful way …as if tearing down the gazebo in Newton Green and uninstalling benches is OK.
Quit grandstanding.
🤬 HOW DOES @GovSherrillNJ DEFEND THIS MORAL FAILURE???
She found ZERO DOLLARS for abused children in a rural South Jersey healthcare desert, but somehow Trenton never runs out of money for illegal immigrants, deportation defense funds, and OVERALL BULLSHIT.
A child abuse treatment center serving more than 1,500 South Jersey children is laying off staff and closing its Vineland location after Gov. Sherrill proposed eliminating its $1.85 million appropriation!!!
These are abused children. Families in healthcare deserts. KIDS WAITING FOR TRAUMA TREATMENT.
"The South Jersey program serves more than 1,500 children across more than 4,000 visits in both locations. Though just about 200 families use the more rural Vineland location, that is where these types of services can be the most critical, Harrison said.
"It's a pretty resource-dry community," she said. "There's not a ton of public transportation to get around. The amount of services that are available to these families generally is much lower than other parts of New Jersey."

Meanwhile, the SAME BUDGET "finds" MILLIONS for programs, services, and legal assistance benefiting illegal immigrants.
Budgets are moral documents. They show us EXACTLY who we are, and this one continues to disappoint. Apparently abused children in rural South Jersey didn't make the cut. A DISGUSTING KICK IN THE TEETH.

But the multi-million dollar no-bid contracts for Trump cronies who ripped off the taxpayers by doing a shittty job on something that didn’t really have to be done constitutes ACTUAL fraud, unlike the fake stories in Minnesota perpetrated by racists who hate Somali immigrants.
