The Hug Party

We stand for hugs, free puppies, and a taco truck on every corner.

@hickforco @JohnKasich For the last couple years I've run a political discussion group that has managed to remain civil and vibrant. Several of us across the political spectrum agree that we would vote for a Kasich/Hickenlooper 2020 ticket. Please make it happen. Thank you. #2020

@AlexBerenson Another lesser known Twitter user corroborated this story. Aren't you all big on journalistic integrity?Do you see that you only post things that fit your narrative?I appreciate your tempering of fear mongering, but maybe hold yourself to the same consistency you want in others

@DomenicoNPR I’m terrified of flying and I hate it. But I do it anyway because seeing family is more important than my fear, but I’ve also missed out on loads of things because I’m afraid.

@pdgalive Live scoring anywhere for doubles?

Found myself crying on a Saturday night trying to tell our daughters what we owe John McCain. Maybe his death will remind us of courage, conviction, and character. He forgave his captors—and freed his soul to soar.

I'm shocked to find out that on the 700th try trickle down economics still doesn't work

4/ For years, Kobach claimed there was mass illegal voter registration in KS. In June, he was handed a big defeat: A fed judge ruled he hadn’t proven his claim and ordered him to take 6 hours of continuing legal education for botching courtroom procedure. https://t.co/GxMRlKIkyj

Christ is not American. The Church that follows Christ is global. Our neighbors are all of humanity. The National Anthem is not a Gospel song.

If the answer is "Yes, get a dog," you're asking the right question

So a WH program to fix a problem created by the WH? https://t.co/BaCMM3A918

@FaaipMusic @abritinthebay @navyjax2 @faisal233 @Eye_Kyu @dgen912 @benshapiro @NRO @BillKristol Lol, agreed. I still think everyone getting a puppy would help too. :) But it's also probably good we've got some diversity of thought and less empathetic people sometimes too. But more hugs. And puppies.

@FaaipMusic @abritinthebay @navyjax2 @faisal233 @Eye_Kyu @dgen912 @benshapiro @NRO @BillKristol To your point, I think we have a double standard too. There is reality to the left not be willing to dialogue at times or worse, but there is also a reality that conservatives maybe aren't as under attack as they think or allude to. Way too much persecution complex at times.

@navyjax2 @FaaipMusic @faisal233 @abritinthebay @Eye_Kyu @dgen912 @benshapiro @NRO @BillKristol That's incredibly unfair. The whole thing is totally heartbreaking. The photos of GZ right after make it seem like lethal force probably wasn't warranted. GZ should of never left his vehicle. A young kid never should've been put in that position just walking home.

@FaaipMusic @navyjax2 @faisal233 @abritinthebay @Eye_Kyu @dgen912 @benshapiro @NRO @BillKristol Agreed. We're in this weird space where we seem to be applying both over-accountability and under-accountability. Which I guess we always have, but social media magnifies it. I'm not going to excuse the stupid things someone says, but I also don't want to write folks off.

@navyjax2 @faisal233 @FaaipMusic @abritinthebay @Eye_Kyu @dgen912 @benshapiro @NRO @BillKristol So what are you supposed to do when a dude comes at you? We only have one side of the story. It's ok for GZ to ignore instructions and go after a kid and not ok for TM to defend himself? This one gets me heated.

In my family, voting was a sacred responsibility, one which we never took for granted. I’m excited to be a part of @WhenWeAllVote to inspire and empower all eligible voters to make their voices heard. #WhenWeAllVote, we can make history. https://t.co/cBTTn9Q5Lf

@FaaipMusic @dgen912 @benshapiro Tweets matter. But twitter BS is a bit different than podcast/interview BS. I don't want to make excuses for bad tweets, and certainly his insults concern me (bad discourse). But I look to his POV also @NRO @BillKristol to challenge myself & hopefully be less dualistic.
