@JayVTheGreat @stephenasmith 2 points...Every ineffective politician he's referring to...he's following their "find problems, no solutions" pattern. He's just being extra loud doing it. Second...no politician talks down to voters they may eventually need. Right now, he doesn't know who he'll need.

@WHLeavitt Gotta say...none of the people on this list that Trump had to pardon. We are truly lost if actual criminals are excluded from who should be behind bars.

[Ervin Thomas @egthomas51]

@Cpatton88 Outstanding!

[Ervin Thomas @egthomas51]

@Cpatton88 Good deal, man! Do what you do!

[Ervin Thomas @egthomas51]

@Cpatton88 @mikeforman21 @WilliamsTycen Caeveon, this a good look! Support for the green and white, always!

[Ervin Thomas @egthomas51]

@Cpatton88 Let's get it!

@Cpatton88 Staying hungry!

@Graham_Reaper @bigredclearsog Your timeline speaks volumes...

@EmmanuelAcho Neither one in the marriage is trying to undermine the relationship. Understanding common pillars, refining communication, providing constructive feedback and calibration will overcome 90% of strife (get back to basics of blocking and tackling). Finally, cherish the friendship.

[Ervin Thomas @egthomas51]

@Cpatton88 Great job, man! Keep showing!

[Ervin Thomas @egthomas51]

@Johhnie162 @ZeekArkham I don't mind questions. Most logical people welcome questions. People only feel threatened when they don't like the answers. In other words, they don't like questions or answers.

[Ervin Thomas @egthomas51]

@ZeekArkham @Johhnie162 He's asking questions. Asked if he's ever helped with voter registration in the communities you care about. Seems a "pick up" is more important....

[Ervin Thomas @egthomas51]

@RGIII The NFL has very biased and flawed hiring practices. I hesitate to claim this is about race because all facts aren't known. Some people in companies don't want to be in management/leadership roles. Maybe, he wants to strengthen blindspots. Not about what others feel you deserve.

[Ervin Thomas @egthomas51]

@ZeekArkham Don't give either side more credit than deserved. Your conservative friends still support people who work to undermine minority voters. It's great to have friends of all kinds, but never lose sight of where battles continue and how friends relate to and assist with those battles.

[Ervin Thomas @egthomas51]

@ZeekArkham I want my three daughters to be seen as equals in society. Their pay, opportunities and acceptance is an enduring battle. Until people fight for the same battles you fight, they shouldn't be given credit so easily. You dishonor yourself, while dishonoring the friendship.

@TendentiousG Why can't we collectively say this when one of us reach a mountain top..."Hmmm, what did that person do differently or better, and what can be learned and applied elsewhere?"

[Ervin Thomas @egthomas51]

@Macornerstone @dijoni You missed the assignment...cops shouldn't be killing citizens. If I kill, or you kill...we should be prosecuted. She's saying we shouldn't fear those that give an oath to protect and serve.

[Ervin Thomas @egthomas51]

@BDavisAAS We don't have that issue in Houston. Competition keeps them on point! No slippage!
