@DemDeanna 💙💙

@JoeBiden Thank you, Joe; your service to this country over your entire career, and certainly as president, solidifies what has always been obvious to me and anyone paying attention -- you are not just a great American, but one of the greatest patriots in American History. God bless you.

@tulsaworld This state is run by deeply unworthy men. Take note, Oklahoma, and hold these cretins accountable for their terrible, malignant, self-serving, incompetent "public service."

[David Tarrien, he/him/his @TarrienDavid]

@GovStitt God, you are an ignorant, malignant man. Is this willful dullness, misunderstanding of plain language in treaties between sovereign nations, naked politically-based gaslighting of the citizens you are supposedly governing, or little boy-based fear of change? Sad any way its cut.

@RyanWaltersSupt “[W]hen you pray, you will not be like the hypocrites. [T]hey love to pray ... on the corners of the streets, so they may be seen by men. I say to you, they have their reward." Mt. 6:5. Humility is kinda Jesus' jam in Mt. 6. You may want to read it, Ryan, 'cause this ain't that.

[David Tarrien, he/him/his @TarrienDavid]

@GovStitt All can get behind innocuous platitudes like this, but the ugliness below the surface regarding the rights of the nations, women's rights to to abortion, LGBTQ+ and trans rights, your incompetent absenteeism during crises, etc, is in plain view. We can see through you, Kevin.

[David Tarrien, he/him/his @TarrienDavid]

@SenatorLankford Pregnant women being forced to wait until they are in mortal danger before partial miscarriages are managed by hospitals, causing complications and even sterility (and no more children) aren't taken into account at all by you in this "life" forced-birth worldview, are they?

[David Tarrien, he/him/his @TarrienDavid]

@RyanWaltersSupt @GovStitt Dullest knife in the drawer. Did an idea bite you when you were little? An educator who is opposed to thought is not an educator -- just a sad, pathetic man, incapable of making sense of what is in fact, the world (not pornography), and taking it out on children. Wretched.

[David Tarrien, he/him/his @TarrienDavid]

@SenatorLankford Even gay ones? Even ones in blue states (or cities -- any of them)? Your rhetoric is contradictory and intellectually dishonest, and this constant stream of tweets is beneath the dignity of your office; shame on you, sir.

[David Tarrien, he/him/his @TarrienDavid]

@RyanWaltersSupt They already have that. The rest of what you want (display of 10 Commandments, etc.) is unconstitutional as a violation of both the establishment and free exercise clauses of the 1st amendment -- you are the dullest knife in the drawer, man. Good grief.

[David Tarrien, he/him/his @TarrienDavid]

@SenatorLankford The life of the mother be damned, huh? She's had a good 20 to 40 years (more or less), so the value of her life pales in comparison. Ridiculous, intellectually lazy, and dishonest. Stop tweeting and bring better job opportunities, a fair tax code, and higher wages to us Okies!

[David Tarrien, he/him/his @TarrienDavid]

@RyanWaltersSupt As long as "their faith" is your faith. Why aren't the five precepts from Buddhism posted? What about the loka-dharma from Hinduism? How about the First Amendment, which prohibits government establishment of religion? You are transparent, man -- mean, obtuse, and pathetic.

[David Tarrien, he/him/his @TarrienDavid]

@SenatorLankford I've never been prevented by any government entity from attending religious services -- I'm constantly bombarded by your tweets with this smarmy pseudo-faith -- as a government official this is clearly your attempt to oppress me with establishment of your beliefs. So . . .

[David Tarrien, he/him/his @TarrienDavid]

@RyanWaltersSupt Establishment of religion means forcing faith-based beliefs on folks with multiple perspectives, even about the religion that you adhere to. You offend me, both as a citizen and a person of faith. I, in your position, would accept your right to not be trodden upon by my beliefs.

[David Tarrien, he/him/his @TarrienDavid]

@SenatorLankford True. But you and other unworthy man who are political "standard-bearers" here seem to believe this is true only until after birth they turn out to be female, LGBTQ+, folks who think Donald Trump should be held accountable for his crimes, Democrats - the list goes on and on. Sad.

[David Tarrien, he/him/his @TarrienDavid]

@RyanWaltersSupt @splcenter @Moms4Liberty Step away from this junior league culture skirmishing -- as a grownup Oklahoman concerned about our children's education, I have seen nothing from you that furthers their interests. Do your job, because this is pathetic and unworthy of your elected role.

[David Tarrien, he/him/his @TarrienDavid]

@GovStitt And will use a facile caricature of faith to further install an unholy mixture of politics and religion. The First Amendment begins, "Congress [and, thanks to the 14th am., state legislatures] shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion." This is that.

[David Tarrien, he/him/his @TarrienDavid]

@SenatorLankford Not true, but it's a moral crisis you are on the wrong side of: ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance...For I was hungry- you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty -you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger - you invited me in'. Mt 25:34-5 So...

[David Tarrien, he/him/his @TarrienDavid]

@RyanWaltersSupt Your definition of "porn" is suspicious, Ryan. Either you are really, really not bright, or you are calculatingly, cravenly ambitious to the point that you would say anything to get any perceived political advantage -- neither of these breeds confidence. Pathetic, sir. Do better.

[David Tarrien, he/him/his @TarrienDavid]

@SenatorLankford Would you just do your job and stop trying to impress whoever you are aiming this at -- this is show horse, not work horse. Oklahoma constituents like me are taking notice, and not in a good way.
