Best explanation of America I’ve seen in a long time. We try real hard to forget the 2nd part from time to time. But - when circumstances require it - we truly have been and can be a source of good unlike the world has seen from a nation.
@japan_nobunaga Nobunaga-sensei, that is the quintessential and paradoxical nature of Americans; when we are at our worst there is nothing worse, but when we are at our best, world's move.
@awesomenina12@nancyfrance22@CaitlinClark22 Her fans put her on the map? No. We cheered along the way. Her hard ass work, dedication, and talent put her on the map. You weren’t in the gym at 5:00am, bud.
@japan_nobunaga I was 8. At 10 learned a manual transmission. Driving straight trucks by 11 or 12. Had been driving tractors since I was 6.
And since it was for the family farm - it was all legal.
@Duke_Dickinson@FreddyLA7 And that, folks, is why the 2nd Amendment matters. If it wasn’t our guns that made him want to take our heads, it would be something else.
@josiealbrecht They want to vote for you. They are - at their core - “conservative”. But not in your political hack way. In the way that shows up at work, church, and school. And they’re not swayed by typos. They’re swayed by solutions.
@josiealbrecht But don’t forget. Voters aren’t stupid. They know the GOP had unilateral control of the levers of state government for the last 18 years. That’s a whole generation. And things haven’t improved. So you better own it and explain the way forward…
@SadCabinOwner@PeteButtigieg …registration on January 6, 2001 and became an independent. I’m not a conservative in Trumps party. But in the old GOP - I earned my stripes. I’m okay not qualifying as one today.
@SadCabinOwner@PeteButtigieg Yeah…that’s called realizing that Trump was a disaster for our country (after having voted for him in 2016) and deciding never again. At that point I was still a Republican just hoping to find someone to beat Trump. That all changed 11 months later when I dropped my voter….
@Timodc Tim - half right. The clean cut conservative became Steve King as soon as it became politically expedient to do so. He just didn’t espouse the beliefs in the NYT. But he was just as much of a MAGA weirdo. In fact - he was worse - his wasn’t a stand on principle. Just a whore.
@ryanflugaur Ok - so I actually think this was a bad vote by Feenstra. Really bad. But how do FISA warrants impact the 2nd amendment? Seems like a straw man to say Randy’s bad on guns. Dandy Randy is a complete douchebag. But this smells a bit like bullshit.
