I try not to judge, but sometimes I judge, especially if you're an idiot

Climate Change is the "do it all" emergency.

Too hot? - Climate Change
Too cold? - Climate Change
Too dry? - Climate Change
Too wet? - Climate Change
Just right? - Probably Climate Change

Don't think for a minute they won't use this "emergency" to take your freedoms.

@TomSteyer Bruh, it almost takes you as long to count ballots in California as it does to build a high speed rail line in California!

[Kevin - Classical Liberal 🇺🇸 @gov_fails]

@MosquitoCoasty I think they might have a couple of years later.

Can anyone tell me why I had to take Fortran-77 when I was in college in the early 90’s!?

Is that an Oriole?

[Kevin - Classical Liberal 🇺🇸 @gov_fails]

@MosquitoCoasty Not sure why that one doesn’t have more likes!?

[Kevin - Classical Liberal 🇺🇸 @gov_fails]

@theatomicmom If you need any advice let me know!

Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes

One of the prettiest places in Michigan

[Leah Rain ✝️🇺🇸🎸🏝️ @LeahRain77]

There’s a sandy slope in Michigan that leads to a lake . Problem is it’s about 450 ft high . Most people make it down but getting up is a challenge . So much so that it can cost up to 3000 dollars to be rescued back up the hill ..

[Kevin - Classical Liberal 🇺🇸 @gov_fails]

@TomSteyer Bruh, it almost takes you as long to count ballots in California as it does to build a high speed rail line in California!

[Kevin - Classical Liberal 🇺🇸 @gov_fails]

@theatomicmom They’re well worth the visit!

[Kevin - Classical Liberal 🇺🇸 @gov_fails]

@theatomicmom It would be a very long walk, and you might actually end up in the water before a flat spot. The dunes run for a few miles!

[Kevin - Classical Liberal 🇺🇸 @gov_fails]

@KosherChutzpah Nope. I don’t even want my government to have my earnings, let alone a foreign government.

[Kevin - Classical Liberal 🇺🇸 @gov_fails]

@IKnowThings4 I disagree. Shoving the TQIA+ agenda down everyone's throats is having the expected backlash.

[Kevin - Classical Liberal 🇺🇸 @gov_fails]

This is what happens when you include the TQIA+ nonsense. LGB was doing just fine on their own.

[Crémieux @cremieuxrecueil]

A few years ago, more than half of Republicans saw gay relationships as morally acceptable.

Now that number is about a third.

[Kevin - Classical Liberal 🇺🇸 @gov_fails]

@Klayton152 Ok. There are plenty of other bigots and racists in congress of all sexes and races, too, but I know you only point out the ones on "the other team."

[Kevin - Classical Liberal 🇺🇸 @gov_fails]

@Klayton152 Congrats... you found a bigot.

[Kevin - Classical Liberal 🇺🇸 @gov_fails]

@Klayton152 I never once said that. You just made that up.

I do think we should try to reduce bigotry and racism. I'm just realistic enough to know that it both takes time and will never result in zero bigotry and racism.

[Kevin - Classical Liberal 🇺🇸 @gov_fails]

@nytimes @TheAthletic And? This makes complete sense as demand for hotel rooms will be much higher those nights.

[Kevin - Classical Liberal 🇺🇸 @gov_fails]

@mazst With what?

[Kevin - Classical Liberal 🇺🇸 @gov_fails]

This is what they've convinced people in the UK to think. You're better off not having a chance to defend yourself than to give your rapist the chance to take away what you have to defend yourself.

[marion s @mazst]

@gov_fails It’s insane you think that anything you can use for defence can’t be used to attack you.
I don’t want pepper spray used by a rapist to disable his victim.

[Kevin - Classical Liberal 🇺🇸 @gov_fails]

@mazst So again... you're willing to give up any chance you have just in case the rapist has pepper spray? This makes zero sense. You'd rather just get raped than at least have a chance of defending yourself?

[Kevin - Classical Liberal 🇺🇸 @gov_fails]

It is insane to me that Brits can't even carry pepper spray for self-defense.

[Reem Ibrahim @ReemAmirIbrahim]

Britain must legalise pepper spray.

If a Sikh man can legally carry a ceremonial knife, a young woman should be allowed to carry pepper spray.

[Kevin - Classical Liberal 🇺🇸 @gov_fails]

@PikettyWIL How does the world today compare to that of 100, 200, or more years ago?

Better or worse inequalities?

Better or worse overall?

Would you trade places with Rockefeller, arguably the richest man of all time, but had no access to modern conveniences and technologies?

[Kevin - Classical Liberal 🇺🇸 @gov_fails]

@goldenrose_79 Yes, driving. Only about 4 hours.

I do! I was a waiter at an Olive Garden at that time and we had a few customers from outside of the US there to watch the matches.

No way I could have afforded tickets then.

[Kevin - Classical Liberal 🇺🇸 @gov_fails]

It’s all set!

Taking the family to see a World Cup match in Toronto in a couple of weeks.

Ticket prices are nuts for the top matches so we’re settling for Panama vs Ghana, and have good seats.
