@WaymoreJennings Musicians have a history of being political. Think John Lennon, Woodie Guthrie, Kris Kristofferson, and the great Willie Nelson. So many more. Let them be who they are and believe what they believe, same as you.
@jaketapper I love it. If he were a writer, he would have written. If he were a sculptor, he would have sculpted. If he were a singer, he would have sung. He is a painter. He painted. What is wrong with you people?
Nelson, who grew up in Abbott and still owns a home there, wrote in a social media post that the last thing the community needs is a “loud, water thieving, light polluting data center.” https://t.co/CmItZtGnr1
There was plenty senators could have asked Dr. Fauci about what lessons he learned, and the country should, from the COVID pandemic. Instead they engaged in an obvious attempt to demonize and entrap the 85-year-old, who received the Medal of Freedom from a Republican POTUS for the work he did to save millions here and abroad from the AIDS epidemic.
This was not about public health. It was about one senators longstanding vendetta.
Walter Cronkite: After liberating execution camps… Germans (who cried) they didn’t know…were as as guilty as Nazis…because they applauded when Hitler shut down (media) and said, ‘We don’t need to know. We trust our government...’
It’s our duty to know.
CNN’s decision to air only clips and commentary of Trump’s speech was a mistake. No matter how many lies President Trump spews, he’s still the President and CNN, a news network, should have aired the entire speech. @jaketapper@kaitlancollins@AC360@CNN
I’ve been thinking a lot about the extraordinary outbursts of the President of the United States against female journalists... well, actually against journalists in general and journalism. But it feels like he saves his most childlike behavior and irrational language for female reporters, calling them all kinds of names that kids in kindergarten are given times out for. It’s stunning to me to witness such behavior from any leader, any CEO, any person of influence or importance. I’ve never witnessed someone like this raging, this weekend with @meetthepress host @kwelkernbc, just last week in the Oval Office with @cnn’s @kaitlancollins, calling women stupid or piggy, telling them to “smile”, calling them darling, demeaning their credibility. Every good man should denounce this behavior. Every person should be able to stand up for their colleagues and say “No more.”
Imagine this man screaming like this at your daughter, your wife, your sister, your mother... would you stand for it? No, you wouldn’t! And neither should any of us. It’s unacceptable and undignified. Period. End of story.
