@BrittanyinTexas @MAGACult2 That’s gold

@GodzillaBort @ReichlinMelnick They literally can be…

[Mark Melton @markmelton99]

@DadePhelan They’re the same. He’s just more emboldened. We told you so…the whole time…

[Mark Melton @markmelton99]

@Sarah4Texas They’re called Democrats…

[Mark Melton @markmelton99]

@leachfortexas @HicklandHillary @pfisd Is that really what we call celebrating these days? That’s a bit hyperbolic, don’t you think? Are Americans no longer free to object to the political canonization of someone they disagreed with on the issues? She was pretty careful, I thought, to say she doesn’t condone violence

[Mark Melton @markmelton99]

@RichardArion1 @LeadingReport Of course not. But isn’t that exactly what Trump is doing now?

[Mark Melton @markmelton99]

Because our constitution doesn’t give the president unlimited power. He’s not a dictator (at least, he’s not supposed to be). And he keeps doing things he’s not legally allowed to do. That’s why the courts keep having to step in. It’s called checks and balances. When you have a president that constantly violates the law, you’re going to have constant pushback from the courts…because that’s their job.

@leachfortexas It seems a lot of people didn’t get the joke…

“I talk to a dad, and . . . I have this grown-ass man on the other end of the line crying because they don’t know what to do, and they feel like complete failures, and they can’t take care of their families. That one gets me every time.” https://t.co/bifFN70m0v

Evictions without a trial. No thanks.

[Progress Texas @ProgressTX]

While you were focused on vouchers, the GOP tried to sneak in a bill that would strip away YOUR renter's rights. Full discussion with @DallasEAC: https://t.co/ZEHSjsrfM9

If winning was equivalent to being “right,” history wouldn’t recall any of the winners as villains. Sometimes the bad guys win.

@MichelleObama @DemConvention @KamalaHarris @Tim_Walz Your speech tonight was one for the ages. Best speech I’ve ever seen.

[Mark Melton @markmelton99]

@BarackObama makes a “crowd size” (dick) joke. Amazing!

[Mark Melton @markmelton99]

But the drag queens…

[WFAA @wfaa]

At least five North Texas pastors have suddenly resigned, been fired, or been arrested since early June.

Okay #Republicans. We’ve been saying he’s a threat to #democracy. How else are we supposed to interpret this comment but exactly that? "You won’t have to do it anymore. Four more years, you know what? It’ll be fixed, it’ll be fine. You won’t have to vote anymore, my beautiful #Christians,"

[Mark Melton @markmelton99]

@horseshoetrl Agree. But my intent wasn’t to argue that my statement was true. It was simply to establish that I hate this man. But I hate that he was shot more than that.

[Mark Melton @markmelton99]

There's only one place elections should be decided. The ballot box. Period. I dislike Trump immensely. I even think he's a threat to democracy itself. But this is not the way. We cannot protect democracy through undemocratic means. To attempt to do so is an assassination of democracy itself.

[Mark Melton @markmelton99]

@horseshoetrl Let’s save that debate for tomorrow. Today, let’s just agree that political violence isn’t what we need in a democracy.
