@are_selfies@Acyn On the Dean link, it’s actually excellent analysis. If Abdul can skip the scream and avoid the perception of flakiness, he’s in good shape.
@DA_Stockman Was she keeping sensitive national security documents, which she retained for no good reason, in a bathroom? If not, you’re making a huge false equivalency.
@Coolsurfwatch@cjscalia@MalcolmNance Schmitt: And about the debutante in the backseat of your car …
Smith: That was Jack and Diane. My wife’s name is Katy.
@macklemore Boycott the New England Patriots and any other NFL franchise that follows Kraft’s lead. This isn’t a Mideast issue. It’s a free speech issue. If you don’t support free speech, you’re not a Patriot.
@jaketapper Hey Jake, What do you think might have happened in your childhood to lead you to write a whole book about Biden’s “age problem” and then to ignore Trump’s?
@thestustustudio Stu, Thanks for giving these ideas so much exposure. I’m starting to think it might be wise to apply some Marxist analysis to my own situation of being visually impaired since birth (legally blind as a kid).
@lambocalypse@ryangrim Here’s an idea from the radical left that should not be treated as fringe or cringe: Let’s treat our fellow humans with kindness and respect, regardless of physical condition. They may have something useful to offer.
@RachelAzzara@ryangrim Now, let’s take the academic argument and tell folks it’s about kindness to our fellow human beings, and acknowledgment they likely have something to offer. This is how we promote inclusivity and defeat elitism.
@hexprax@Andrea__Mass@_OneSmallThing The OP is not the way I would have phrased it, but feels like a worthwhile intellectual stretch to a “regular person” like me. This is how we defeat elitism.
@ryangrim@EoinHiggins_ If having the clip seen on Fox is the sum of all our fears, the bullies have won. Let Sean Fucking Hannity set the limits on our discourse? You’ve got to be kidding me. (I only say Sean Fucking Hannity because I’ve always wanted to tell him to go fuck himself.)
@ryangrim@EoinHiggins_ But someone said it way better than I could a couple thousand years ago. “As you do unto the least among you, you do also unto me.”
@ryangrim@EoinHiggins_ When Trump mocked the disabled and gifted investigative reporter Serge Kovaleski, the fascist was trying to use the man’s lack of “fitness” to show he was “disposable.” That is exactly what is being addressed in this woman’s remarks. Disabled people are here. Get used to it.
@ryangrim Visually impaired but not grammatically impaired, I can “see” that “antisocial behavioral” doesn’t make much sense. Now, try imagining you are “disabled” in some way, listen to her again, and start to understand the world doesn’t look the same to everyone.
@pickmusicguitar@jaketapper@kaitlancollins No one loved Swalwell. Some saw him as an instrument for pursuing their goals, mainly getting rid of Trump and stopping the serious damage he has done to America. Only right-wingers practice idolatry toward their “leaders.”
@ConstitustionX Hanson’s arrogant and condescending question, “Do you think Hamilton and Jefferson fought and died for YOU?” shows astounding ignorance. Hamilton saw combat, but died after a duel with Aaron Burr in 1804. Jefferson’s military service was entirely in administrative roles.
