@a_newgarden If he didn't have a criminal record before, it looks like he will now.

@econ_robinson @Titos_dad @rcbregman I'm sure. How long were you enslaved?

[Brent Swenson @BrentSwenson2]

@LesNessman1500 @daviexbt Precisely.

@BillKristol Calling it the "new Red Scare" and labelling it "bullshit" is blinding oneself to the rise of the Democratic Socialist movement in America and ignoring its clear and present danger. Clearly it isn't "communism" per se but it is no less dangerous liberty.

@Martina @jfstieber /2...voters who don't understand that and the politicians of both parties who ignore that Constitution.

[Brent Swenson @BrentSwenson2]

@Martina @jfstieber Majority rule is 3 pedophiles and a child voting on whether or not to have sex. It is mob rule. The country was founded on a system that recognized that fact and established a Constitution to protect us from the tyranny of the majority. The problem now is the number of.../1

[Brent Swenson @BrentSwenson2]

@Martina /2...ones. The electoral college actually affords only a relatively tiny concession to small state sovereignty and ONLY in the election of the President.

[Brent Swenson @BrentSwenson2]

@Martina What was good about it then that is no longer a valid merit? The point is that we are a United STATES not a monolithic AMERICA. States have legitimate, separate interests in national government and people in small states should not be subject to the fiats of large.../1

[Brent Swenson @BrentSwenson2]

@karlykingsley The only ''duty'' government has is to protect our lives, liberty and property from those who would take them away. That's why governments were established by man and it is the only legitimate function of government. Anything else is a luxury, not a duty.

@larata_media @CountryFirstRep Lol, and that is different how from the millions upon millions who believe a virgin was impregnated by God so that the kid could be a blood sacrifice for all the sinners in the world?🙂

[Brent Swenson @BrentSwenson2]

@EmjaeS99 I have no reason to believe it was ever intended to be any longer than the November election.

[Brent Swenson @BrentSwenson2]

@Titos_dad @rcbregman /2...How about hundreds of Black, Latino, and Asian elected officials all across the country? What exactly would your "reckoning" look like?

[Brent Swenson @BrentSwenson2]

@Titos_dad @rcbregman America has "never reckoned with it's racist past"? What would that ''reckoning'' look like to you? Would a civil war in which half a million people dies count at all? How about a 13th and 14th Amendment to the Constitution? Maybe a Civil Rights Act? A Voting Rights Act?.../1

[Brent Swenson @BrentSwenson2]

@rcbregman Actually he does NOT say the Left needs to be more patriotic. He says the Left is wrong in its portrayal of America as the most racist country. One need have nothing to do with the other.

[Brent Swenson @BrentSwenson2]

@LesNessman1500 @daviexbt Are those public services optional? Why should those services not be paid for by the users? Or can I get them prorated if, for example, I don't have kids in public school?

[Brent Swenson @BrentSwenson2]

@daviexbt Ignoring for a moment whether or not a property tax is an appropriate tax, why would it be okay to pay it while it is still mortgaged but not afterwards? Why is that a modifier in your post?

[Brent Swenson @BrentSwenson2]

@michelle_8972 @nosoupforgeorge Another courageous Twitter warrior who goes ad hominem then blocks responses.🙂

[Brent Swenson @BrentSwenson2]

@michelle_8972 @nosoupforgeorge /2...bartender and Bernie has never held a job outside of government. Evidently, those don't bother you. And, fwiw, it isn't the job of government to "take care of people". It is to protect their lives, liberty and property from those who would take them.

[Brent Swenson @BrentSwenson2]

@senatejr So that means what, you have a loan with an interest rate of around 5%? What were you expecting?

[Brent Swenson @BrentSwenson2]

@lathang87 That could be an avatar for meaningless graphs.

[Brent Swenson @BrentSwenson2]

@SarahLongwell25 No, they're still saying it. It's just that there are only about 8 conservatives left.
