@BBCWorld DeSantis is killing the FL economy. He'll do the same to the US if he runs for and is elected President.

Crockett: My Republican colleagues want to talk about keeping DC streets crime free. They can’t even keep the halls of Congress crime free.. My freshman colleague has just been indicted on 13 counts…

@ChrisCuomo A town hall?!?
A gaggle of pre-selected, pre-screened MAGA fans?
That's what passes for a "town hall" in your world?
C'mon, man!

Elon changed the Twitter algorithm so we could all
be exposed to the maga peeps more regularly (and I guess be persuaded).

So having been exposed to them more regularly for a few months now, one thing really sticks out:

My God, these people are fucking stupid.

[Dr. (No Blue Check) Flip @FlipArnold]

@ChrisCuomo No, Chris. You want "better ideas"? How about NOT banning books? How about a ban on automatic weapons? How about we SAY "gay"? How about we let women take charge of their own bodies?
How about news agencies REPORTING news, rather than trying to MAKE news?
Your take is crap!

Hey Twitter Legal hive:
Trump was found liable for sexual abuse, but as it was a civil case he was not found "guilty" of any crimes.
Does the liability determination mean he has to register as a Sex Offender?

@KUHoopes Somewhat ironically, the 153 Wiki page does not include the date in the Lowland Long Count (Mayan) calendar. I guess we can just get it off the stela. 😉

@JStein_WaPo Look, there's going to be some compromise, and each side will say they held fast and the other side backed down.
Frankly, exactly HOW they justify their respective takes has little meaning.
It's the same ol' same ol'.
So, why should most people care?

[Dr. (No Blue Check) Flip @FlipArnold]

@jimrunsfar @NBCNews And almost all of the 1957-mentality responders have a blue check.
Who could have seen THAT coming?

[Dr. (No Blue Check) Flip @FlipArnold]

You can't use lethal force
without knowing how
TO NOT use lethal force.

[Dr. (No Blue Check) Flip @FlipArnold]

@idoccor @olnool2 @EricLevitz Think what you will re: Troll status; I don't care.
Restraining someone is not necessarily violence. Observing someone being killed is not violence.
You seem to agree that this was a murder. You apparently disagree when I say that it's not "inevitable."
Murder is NOT inevitable.

[Dr. (No Blue Check) Flip @FlipArnold]

@ericmetaxas Eric: that's just plain creepy.

[Dr. (No Blue Check) Flip @FlipArnold]

@idoccor @olnool2 @EricLevitz Is restraining someone and filming someone now considered violence?
Only one person administered a choke hold; only one person killed an unarmed man. Or are those "facts" no longer valid?
