Time for the periodic disclaimer that most of my tweets are left-leaning political takes or Computer Software QA info/opinions and are therefore boring and possibly infuriating to some. In my honest opinion you should probably not follow me.
The only people in the press who have been brave enough to ask that fucking pervert Trump the tough questions have been women.
Trump fear’s strong, opinionated women.
Because he’s a misogynistic coward.
Jackie Robinson made his Major League debut at first base for the Brooklyn Dodgers at Ebbets Field on April 15, 1947. He was the first Black player in the #MLB in the modern era. #Baseball#JackieRobinsonDay#OnThisDay
The only way to get a sense of how detached from reality and full of shit our president is now is to watch a full interview- unfortunately most people would rather claw their eyes out, understandably.
Republicans want to paint a horror story about Memphis to cover up the fact that they’re the reason crime shot up in the first place.
When they passed the law to allow guns in cars to be stored unsafely without consequences, Memphis became #1 in the nation for guns stolen out of cars. Chattanooga became #2.
That’s not an accident. Before that law was passed, Memphis had a couple hundred guns stolen out of cars a year—then it shot up to thousands.
When we tried to put measures on the ballot to allow our city to keep guns out of the wrong hands and keep weapons of war off our streets, Speaker Cameron Sexton threatened to take away our sales taxes.
The ballot measures passed by 80%. That’s NRA-card toting residents and non gun-owners alike. The legislature still insists that guns run rampant on our streets.
Because they won’t let us rein in gun violence, I started a free gun lock program to ensure more guns were stored safely. In the two years since we started that program, guns stolen out of cars went down 25%. Violent crime also went down 25%. All before the national guard came.
Yet Trump, Governor Bill Lee, and my opponent Senator Marsha Blackburn come into Memphis to say they’ve saved the day. No, Democrats like me found a way to take care of our community in SPITE of your asinine gun laws.
Republicans don’t care if school shootings, gun violence, and accidental gun deaths continue. Democrats are the party who are doing the work to keep our communities safe. Those are the facts.
6 of the 10 safest states in the U.S. are led by Democratic governors. Maybe we should try something different.
Like the stupid criminal character in the detective series, just make them comfortable and let them talk long enough and they end up incriminating themselves.
Iowa farmer: This fertilizer shortage is going to affect everybody. It could lead to a decrease in yields. If you look at that countrywide, corn, soybeans, cotton, rice, that will increase prices. It's gonna be a train wreck for consumers.
Just a reminder that the one guy who is single-handedly tanking the global economy by doubling the market price of oil is also the one guy who insisted on increasing US dependence on fossil fuel by canceling arrays of US solar and wind projects that were already under way.
