@BlakeAspenNE I believe it was one random person who commented "why cant we have politicians debate on subatance."

(As someone who saw how the sausage was made) good luck trying to get the what 25% of the voting population to have a scholarly debate on energy policy. Nah its showbusiness.

[Blake Aspen @BlakeAspenNE]

@AndrewBarness This.

It’s far easier to throw insults at me, say I’m retarded or that I want an oligarchy, or that I lick the boots of government because I’m a cuck or something.

There’s a reason they won’t defend their position on the merits.

[Blake Aspen @BlakeAspenNE]

Citizens United is a decision that defends liberty.

So when Democrats like Dan Osborn say they want to stop "dark money," notice how they only talk about people who earned their money in the private sector.

Never are the Democrats talking about the nonprofits and NGOs that siphoned billions (if not trillions) for years off of taxpayers through programs like USAID. In their mind, the Government should subsidize their politics and their political speech.

I don't know about you, but I don't want some useful idiot like Dan Osborn deciding how much political speech freedoms I get to enjoy. His position is contrary to the First Amendment and to our Constitution.

So when @osbornforne mindlessly talks about ending Citizens United, recognize that the goal of his benefactors is to crush you and your constitutional freedoms. That is, your freedom to engage in as much or as little political speech as you want.

Carpenter found a really interesting note from 1975 while he was working on this house.

@ny4sh3 @KeyBoar42538896 @AP Ah yes the usual citation to international law. Do everyone a big favor and become a lawyer before talking about something to which you know nothing about. It hurts your credibility and your overall argument.

[Taylor D. Rhodes @TaylorDRhodes2A]

In 1776, the average colonist owned a firearm functionally identical to the standard infantry weapon of the British Army.

Civilian and military parity wasn't a loophole. It was the whole damn point.

[Casey Mattox @CaseyMattox_]

As with most bad speech on X, it's not so much that X causes it, it's that X allows people an easy way to tell the world what they were thinking inside or might have otherwise whispered to one another.

So it is with speaking ill of the dead.

It's not NEW. It's just more open.

Alexander Hamilton was shot and killed by Vice President Aaron Burr during a pistol duel in New Jersey on this day in 1804.

@RandPaul I support originalism, history, and tradition. Therefore, I respectively disagree with you Senator.

@ThatoNow @izme_josh It takes almost 2 days to go from Chicago to going normal train speed limits (54-84 mph). Using the fastest train in Europe it would take 5 hours (assuming you didnt have to slow down through cities or towns. Meanwhile its 2 hour flight.

@sosa_posh @UTDtwo In an age where the media focuses on people who are on their 5 or 14 relationship or marriage, I think maybe society should start celebrating commitment again like this.

I think that is there point.

@UWBadgers As a Nebraska fan, good luck Wisconsin. I am going to enjoy beating you more now that you want to repeat the same mistakes we did 🤣.
