Juli Briskman was the cyclist who gave the Trump motorcade the finger. Donald Trump was so angry he demanded that she be fired, and she was.
She was so angry she decided to run for office and defeated the local Republican candidate.
She has been sworn in, now.
Since no governmenting is happening until after the inauguration, may as well take a moment to enjoy what appears to be the setting sun finding just the right angle to showcase how the inner structure of feathers scatters light similarly to air, causing blue light reflection.
The same rigid ignorance that pushed abstinence only sex-ed with ridiculous lies about condoms having holes that spread HIV is now being recycled and repackaged into anti-mask rhetoric.
This is how partisanship converts allegedly pro-life "conservatives" into a death cult.
Bragging about getting more votes than any sitting President in history when your opponent had more votes, is kind of like claiming to be a business genius when you inherited a huge fortune, then sold steaks at Sharper Image, and turned into broke billionaire.
If Biden is elected, the Christian leaders who threw themselves at Trump & defended his indefensible words & deeds will now be left empty handed. You got your 30 pieces of silver, but you lost your witness, your integrity, & the next generation of the church.
BREAKING: A federal court just issued a restraining order on the federal agents in Portland, Oregon.
We said we would deploy the full firepower of the ACLU in this fight to save our democracy — and we meant it.

My 101yr old father, who has voted since 1952, wasn't allowed to vote yesterday because his name had been struck off the registry. After failing to be clear as to why this happened, the registrar attempted to ascertain my father's mental competence. My family is filing an action
@SenFeinstein I’m disappointed congress is standing by and watching while someone with the mental and emotional intelligence of a toddler ruins this nation. Par for the course, yes?
I used to believe the @DNC to be the solution, but you are no different than @realDonaldTrump and the @GOP.
“It’s my body. I don’t care if I get sick. The government can’t tell me what to do, it’s against my rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”- unnamed Trump Republican
So are you saying the government shouldn’t have a say regarding one’s body? Please, tell me more.
@Trent_Horn@Trent_Horn you sound like an Evangelical. You are speaking alongside the nationalist rhetoric which uplifts the concerns of wealthy over the wellbeing of the people. I expect this from some American neo-Calvinist, not a Catholic.
Can we start right here on twitter a simple movement demanding that Trump resign, for the sake of the country? No signatures, no tallies, no organization -- just tweets and emails, requesting this over and over again. Let's see what we the people can do.
This is not to be taken as anyone’s experience but my own. But when I became very sick with lyme disease years ago, when much of my body weight evaporated, and sitting in a chair required balancing on a brutally unpadded tailbone, as much as I wanted to be done with this world,
