my life isn't exciting enough to have a bio

@jbarro I mean in this case isn't specifically whining about amending the state constitution? They do this in Michigan with ballot referendums I find it to be a terrible idea.

[Benjamin Selvig @BenSelvig]

@NoHoFrankk @roddreher Umm he's not getting health insurance because he doesn't qualify for it. He would have to be eligible for an immediate annuity aka a pension. Soemthing he isn't based on his length of service and age. So it's absolutely because of what I mentioned.

[Benjamin Selvig @BenSelvig]

@NoHoFrankk @roddreher If he was 62 that would apply. Also with 5 years of service he would be getting like 8.5% of his salary. Sasse resigned his senate seat the age 49 or 50 which means he would of had to have had 20 years of federal service to start getting a pension immediately

[Benjamin Selvig @BenSelvig]

@NoHoFrankk @roddreher He's not retired. He's like 53 years old and only has like 8 years of federal service. You can't retire with benefits at that age and also he resign his senate seat like 4 years ago.

[Benjamin Selvig @BenSelvig]

@NoHoFrankk @roddreher Why do you think the government is paying for his health insurance?

[Benjamin Selvig @BenSelvig]

@ingelramdecoucy At least they didn't get captured by the Turks and die of the plague while a captive. Last time I checked they didn't let the retreating German army destroy their castle.

Happy st Patrick’s day to all the drunk irish micks and their racist descendants in Boston

[Ben Dreyfuss @bendreyfuss]

They don’t actually eat corned beef and cabbage in Ireland because they don’t have corned beef because they hate Jews. Instead they eat bacon and cabbage because they’re sickos who didn’t help defeat Hitler

[Benjamin Selvig @BenSelvig]

@Timodc Did you read his resignation letter? He blames the Syrian Civil War on Israel.

[Benjamin Selvig @BenSelvig]

@ingelramdecoucy This from the guy who thinks he's a dead French lord who got captured by the Turks. I'm glad the Germans destroyed your trashy castle at the end of World War I

@Horrux @WagamemnonGlenn @DI313_ RAF Fairford is long enough it's really just to save on brakes from my recollection they do this when they land at Minot as well

[Benjamin Selvig @BenSelvig]

@WagamemnonGlenn @DI313_ To save on brakes. RAF Fairford has a very long runway. They do this when they land most places

@DastDn I'm still trying to understand what use a economist is in fighting a war

@f_lynyrd @hughlaurie What show are you talking about?

@conor64 Im married to a foreigner. We followed the rules. We had to wait about 9 months to get her approved for a K-1 (fiancee) visa. She then entered the US lawfully, we got married and applied for a green card. Why doesnt he have too? Is he special and the law doesnt apply to him?

[Benjamin Selvig @BenSelvig]

@CraigMahoney @bendreyfuss @andrewlevine Yeah it's not like she has responded well to legitimate criticism of the essay. Also based on other stuff know about her it's very clear what her stated beliefs are and what the purpose was. She was never attempting to have a good faith discussion about the founding

[Benjamin Selvig @BenSelvig]

@andrewlevine @bendreyfuss I'm sorry based on her interaction with people who disagree with her she absolutely said it to piss people off.
