Oh, if it were only this easy.

[Chip Tangen @ChipforSOS]

Yes, the process is “surprisingly simple” for major party candidates. A relatively small number of Independent and minor party candidates will take a “surprisingly difficult” path to give voters more choices. Please sign their petitions!

@BretWeinstein @RealAngelaMc Bret, I only take issue with the implication we had just two choices. I suspect the Libertarian candidate aligned quite well with your views. Perhaps he wasn’t viable, but if that’s our criteria for voting things will never change. One is an important number, right?

Libertarians asking Republicans to defend the 2nd Amendment wasn’t on my bingo card.

[Chip Tangen @GeoChip]

Thank you, @deanbphillips. The insincerity now revealed by many so-called conservatives on this point side stands in sharp contrast.

[Dean Phillips @deanbphillips]

For years I quietly mocked 2A defenders who argued arms were necessary to defend American rights against a tyrannical government.

Today I apologize, because I’ve seen it with my own eyes.

[Chip Tangen @GeoChip]

Go, Twins! 😉

[Chip Tangen @GeoChip]

That’s a scary thought. Regardless, I’d like to see independent analyses to confirm if what I’m seeing anecdotally is truly happening.

We are experiencing a mass societal psychology experiment in real time.
Millions watch the same videos but use their personal political bias to form conclusions. Just wild. SMH

Perhaps U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi should take note.

Hate speech does not exist legally in America. There's ugly speech. There's gross speech. There's evil speech.

And ALL of it is protected by the First Amendment.

Keep America free.

[Chip Tangen @GeoChip]

@RepThomasMassie @Chesschick01 Are you both suggesting that achieving goals through force is exclusive to the left?

[Chip Tangen @GeoChip]

This hits extra hard now.

[Charlie Kirk @charliekirk11]

America will never be the same.

[Chip Tangen @GeoChip]

Well said.

[Marianne Williamson @marwilliamson]

OK, so he did something I like.

Calling the DOD the Department of War is good, because it makes us look at ourselves more honestly. It hasn’t been a Department of Defense in a very long time.

The Pentagon is the headquarters of a huge, economically motivated war industry. It is in every sense of the word a Department of War.

There are some very good people there, trying their best to keep it aligned with the honorable mission for which the the military was intended. Bravo to those on the inside who are trying their best to keep the faith.

@RobSchneider @SIRIUSXM Not sure what’s funnier. The unexpected punchline, or most of the comments in the context of said punchline.

[Chip Tangen @GeoChip]

You get two choices in the general election, and you’ll like it. Oof.

[Dustin Grage @GrageDustin]

Starting a new party is dumb.

It’s a lose-lose scenario.

This is why we have primaries.

[Chip Tangen @GeoChip]

Even today, we learn more about how messed up this was.

[Jeffrey A Tucker @jeffreytucker]

A small grocery store threw me out four years ago because I wasn't wearing a mask and would not. I was extremely bitter about this and have not been back.

Finally I went in today. I asked to see the manager. I told her what happened and why I've boycotted for so long.

She deeply apologized and explained that the health department was hounding them hard. Customers were taking pictures in the store and posting to evil Facebook, tagging the mayor. They daily faced shutdowns. They actually worried for a time that anyone WITHOUT a mask might be part of a sting operation.

In other words, they had suspected I was working for the government and testing their compliance.

Can you even believe that we lived through this reality?

In any case, despite all my knowledge, the possibility that the store itself face deep threats that forced the rudeness that led to my having been tossed out actually never occurred to me.

I was touched about the manager's own apologies. I will return, no question.

How long will it take this nation to heal from such ghastliness? How many relationships shattered? How much suffering has ensued? It's awesome to contemplate.

[Chip Tangen @GeoChip]

@carynannharlos Sorry to hear, but at the same time happy for you.

[Chip Tangen @GeoChip]

@deanbphillips That’s a cheap shot. I hold you to a higher standard because I thought you were better.

[Robby Soave @robbysoave]

This is all fascinating in light of the No Kings rally: Trump unilaterally attacking Iran without any oversight or approval from Congress would be his most obvious use of king-like powers to date. Will Congress do anything about, it though?
