As a neutral and unbiased observer of politics, I can honestly tell you that @VanessaAronson will be the greatest member of City Council that New York has ever seen. I hope you will support her.

@DavidAFrench "You stood up and applauded during curtain call, but then said that you didn't enjoy the play. Were you lying then, or are you lying now?"

This is an idiotic criticism.

[The Unhitching Hour @UnhitchingHour]

@Dr_Allen_Walks @lamps_apple @AlexBores You did - you said that the pardons of people who were duly convicted justifies paying them.

"The government settles colorable claims pre-suit all the time." Citation needed.

The lack of an appropriation is what makes it unconstitutional. The purpose just makes it corrupt.

[The Unhitching Hour @UnhitchingHour]

@Dr_Allen_Walks @lamps_apple @AlexBores It is unconstitutional for the President to give people money because he thinks they were unfairly charged/convicted. Art. II, Sec. 2, Clause 1 does not provide for a slush fund.

If they had legitimate claims, they could sue. They don't so Trump is stealing the money, instead.

@DrewSav Espaillat is many things, but he is far from anonymous in the district. Dan Goldman is a better example of that dynamic.

@aethelamerican @ImNotOwned They absolutely campaigned on them being super-secret leftists. Beto also got the overt homophobia.

[The Unhitching Hour @UnhitchingHour]

@aethelamerican @ImNotOwned Sure, buddy. Senators Beto O'Rourke and Colin Allred say "hi."

@hunterbaker @DavidAFrench This is like saying that you're eating the cake but not flour, eggs, sugar and milk. Corruption, debasement, and incompetence is the policy you're voting for, "normal right-left politics" is the wrapper that policy comes in.

[The Unhitching Hour @UnhitchingHour]

@aethelamerican @ImNotOwned You'd call literally anyone a closet-case hyperwoke leftist. That's how you rationalize voting for crooks, rapists, and imbeciles.

@LinkofSunshine The goal is to destroy the concept of an independent press able to hold the powerful accountable. Ratings collapse was a feature, not a bug.

Bari Weiss’ ‘safe’ at CBS amid ratings collapse and interal strife: ‘She’s not going anywhere’ https://t.co/ZN0OFYrTsX

[The Unhitching Hour @UnhitchingHour]

@DavidLBernstein @mattyglesias As we've seen with CBS, nobody has to read the Free Press for Weiss' benefactors to get their money's worth. That's a big part of the problem.

@JohnCornyn Probably would have helped if the President of the United States didn't get away with trying to overthrow the government, making it seem to most people that ethics and decency don't matter at all.

[The Unhitching Hour @UnhitchingHour]

@TomBevanRCP Buddy, Trump was treated like a joke on *Sesame Street.* He was never beloved by the elites or the media until he got elected President and the elites realized how easy he was to bribe.

@billgensler @SharpeLofton @EWErickson Assuming that's true (it's not) what would Biden's DOJ have anything to do with whether Martina McBride performed for Obama? Do you not understand how time works?

[The Unhitching Hour @UnhitchingHour]

@Dr_Allen_Walks @lamps_apple @AlexBores What's unconstitutional is the President stealing 2 billion dollars from the Treasury to give to his criminal allies.

[The Unhitching Hour @UnhitchingHour]

@lamps_apple @AlexBores The only people stealing money from Americans is Trump and his cronies, stealing almost two billion dollars from us to give to criminals.

[The Unhitching Hour @UnhitchingHour]

@Wilson__Valdez Kind of kills the "patriotic celebration of the Republic" when you're going to see giant banners with his face on them everywhere you look, and you know that he and his buddies are skimming millions of dollars off the top.

[The Unhitching Hour @UnhitchingHour]

@_Jason_Dean_ @Hasneeeee He's never been capable of settling down. If he actually manages to end the Iran War, he'll start in with Cuba.

@hunterbaker @DavidAFrench If your "preferred policy" permits you to sanction unabashed crooks trashing the system to enrich themselves and their allies, then your preferred policy is bad and you should feel bad.
