@MelGibso1 No. First amendment. Then you’re not really much of a rule of law guy are you?

@31Kelleher @RepRaskin Apparently you didn’t watch the video. Wasn’t a crowd she was trying to crawl through the window to KILL MEMBERS OF CONGRESS. They were chanting hang Mike Pence or did you miss that. They really really wanted to kill lawmakers.

@beambeamers @BoWang87 Complete idiocy

@stevia456 @washingtonpost Except these were tax hikes for the vast majority of people in DC, just like it’s a tax hike for the vast majority of people in the US. If you don’t make well into six figures, you didn’t get a tax cut. By the way, it’s “Democratic“. People don’t call it the “Republic“ party.

@DJHAVOCKY @FoxNews Trump‘s family has profited $4 billion so far, and a lot of it is people having paid for pardons, which is right now going for $1 million. Doesn’t matter how heinous your crime, $1 million will get you out of it and get you free. The corruption is all at the top

@Crystal_Cleere @RayJulianTorres @chrislhayes The writers of the US Constitution disagree with your learned legal position in that there's a contingency clause written first. The rights of members of State Militia shall not have their rights to a musket infringed. By your reading I am allowed to possess and use a nuke on you

@CommissBratton @NatPoliceAssoc @ClaytonCountyPD @nationalcops @NLEMuseum @PoliceFound @NationalSheriff @NLEOMF "Police matter”- sure they do. The problem is that in general, police do not understand they do not matter more than other people do. Reading the national police association Twitter feed backs that assertion.

Bolton is someone in DC too smart and too crazy to have as your enemy if you’re (R). There are still a few (R)s in DC smart enough/rich enough to be able to consider history’s gaze when dealing with the President, and Bolton is exactly such a mustache.

Val Oliver waits to compete in the spin top division at #WYYC19, while her husband Dale Oliver, the furthest left judge of that category, waits to judge her. She’d better get 100s!

[jim maneri @jimmaneri]

Opera glasses, 3rd row seats, and sitting with Matt Curleo and the Olivers are making #WYYC19 1A finals special!

[jim maneri @jimmaneri]

@gentrystein and others practicing for #WYYC19 finals onstage and in the back of the hall during lunch break. I have Gentry winning 1A in a betting pool

Miri Kim, 9 years old, completely destroying #WYYC19

[jim maneri @jimmaneri]

Late night battling tops at #WYYC19 is exciting, competitive, and loud fun with people 8 to 79 years old!

[jim maneri @jimmaneri]

Val and Dale Oliver, the king and queen of yoyoing, watching the #WYYC19 1A semi-finals. Dale has dubbed this "the year of the floating loops"

[jim maneri @jimmaneri]

#wyyc19, 40+, Val Oliver had the only clean run - the only one close. But more than that, the whole room STOPPED for the 1st time in 2 days, all heads turned staring & smiling & cheering together, not for who she was, but for what a hoot & perfect pro. Nothing all day was close.

[jim maneri @jimmaneri]

Val Oliver is easily the crowd favorite with the only no-drop routing in the finals of the over 40 category at #WYYC19.
