JD Vance visited the Pope yesterday afternoon. He was the last one to meet with him. Several hours later the Pope is dead. Coincidence? Just asking questions, but did Vance somehow murder the Pope? Was he following orders from Trump or Putin? How did he accomplish it?
OK, "Barbie": I was hoping it wouldn't be preachy, man-hating, and a #ZombieLie - alas, it was all three. What is a Zombie Lie? Something that never was true, but certain people refuse to stop saying it (tax cuts for the rich increase revenues, e.g.); OR something that USED to be true but no longer is, but certain people pretend it's still true. "Barbie" is this kind of #ZombieLie.
Spoiler alert, Barbie fights the Patriarchy. Right up to the Mattel board who created her, consisting of 12 white men! The Patriarchy! Except there's a Mattel board in real life, and it's 7 men and 5 women. OK, not perfect even-steven, but not the way the board IN THE MOVIE - which takes place in 2023 - is portrayed. And not really any longer deserving of the word "patriarchy." Yes, there was one, and remnants of it remain - but this movie is so 2000-LATE.
At one point the Barbies have to win over the Kens, and they are told to do it by pretending to act helpless and not know how to do stuff. Helen Gurley Brown called, she wants her premise back. Yes, that WAS a thing. I saw "Barbie" with a woman in her 30s who said, "I don't know a single woman of any age who would act like that today."
I know, I know, 'How could I know about the patriarchy, I AM a man!' That argument is so old and so silly. Of course, none of us can know exactly what others go through life, but I can see the world around me, and I can read data. The real Mattel board is a pretty close mirror of the country, where 45% of the 449 board seats filled last year in Fortune 500 companies were women. Truth is, I'm not the one who's out of step - I'm living in the year we're living in. Barbie is fun, I enjoyed it - but it IS a #ZombieLie. And people who don't go along with zombie lies did not take some red pill - just staying true to CURRENT reality. Let's live in the year we're living in! Hi Ken!!! #BarbieMovie
@RepVanOrden so your excuse for bullying kids with your foul mouth is they were disrespectful of the Capitol, but yet you disrespected it when you joined the traitors on January 6. I guess rubbing feces on the Capitol walls isn't disrespectful.
@triciacotham so it turns out that you weren't abandoning your principles for Republican attention, you are actually a Republican plant who lied to her constituents. Of course you knew they can't recall you for lying. The only way Republicans can win is by cheating.
@RepVanOrden I'm sure you feel really good about yourself after bullying the kids who happen to be Senate pages. Nice foul mouth talking to kids. Do you talk to all kids like that?

@triciacotham I see you've fully embraced your new parties tactics, lying about your past comments. Your constituents should recall you for lying to them about who you are.
@SenThomTillis After the censure vote, your spokesman said "the Senator keeps his promises". But you broke a promise, and lied to my face, when you promised not to eliminate funding for the Biofuels Center of NC, and then voted against continued funding.
@triciacotham What did the Republicans offer you to switch parties and go against everything you've stood for so they can have a super majority? Committees? Money? Your constituents deserve an answer why you deceived them.
@nicolettebaker_ I just read your Vinepair article about ChatGPT passing the CMS exams. So I asked ChatGPT about it and the response was "The article you mentioned about me passing the CMS exams is entirely fictional and not based on any real-life events." Thoughts? 😊
It was a privilege to have breakfast at Jones Cafe with some of North Carolina’s best. These men on the Highway Patrol work tirelessly to keep our communities safe. I enjoyed our conversation. Stay safe, gentlemen!
So you're selling personal data to anti abortion vigilantes. I wonder if you'll be culpable when a woman is murdered by one of your clients. Should your data be sold too?
@Amgen why are you still fully doing business in Russia? There are lots of reasons to stop, and only two for continuing: 1. Greed, or 2. You support Putin's invasion of Ukraine. Which is it?

@RepMTG No matter what words you tweet, your vote shows you to be a Russian asset, part of the Putin wing of Republican party. You couldn't be more anti-American.
