Im sorry why am I seeing right wing politicians, one after another, in my timeline? I do not follow them. I do not want to see their tweets. WTF is this platform doing besides self destructing and dying right now?

Indeed. The Chiefs had the most LEGALLY scored points 10 mins in, before all these "touchdowns" started showing up. Very suspicious.

“Marjorie Taylor Greene shouldn’t be in Congress. She should be in an Olive Garden ten minutes before it closes asking to speak to the manager. That’s her natural habitat.” 😂

I completely agree. Excellent piece Ann. An open national database of companies + owners would remove unnecessary headaches for all legit businesses, innovators, investors + lenders – and make tax + regulation simpler + fairer.

1973 CBS News report on Joe Biden being sworn in as a senator at his children's bedside telling reporters he'd resign if he didn't think he could be a good dad and senator: "We can always get another senator, but they can't get another father."

Can we just refer to 45 as “Florida Man” in headlines from now on?

Trump wanted to be a strongman, but he'll leave a weakling — with blood on his hands.

We won't ever forget it.

[Paul Cogan @PaulCogan]

Hitler was found guilty of treason and sentenced to five years in prison after the Beer Hall Putsch. He served nine months before he was pardoned in the name of "unity and healing." And after that, as we all know, everything was fine.

[Nate Silver @NateSilver538]

Honestly the idea of Mike Pence being president for 12 hours or something, so that everyone who looks back at the list of U.S. Presidents generations from now is like "WTF happened there?", is another (small) reason to vote on removal *before* Trump leaves office.

Jeezus these fucking monsters

[George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 @gtconway3d]

Classic pathologically narcissistic response. What I you say I caused was your fault because you were doing bad things to me and if you hold me responsible for what you say I did you will be the cause of whatever bad things happen next.

[George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 @gtconway3d]

Again, this is the behavior of a psychopath, not a president.

[Thomas Sowell Quotes @ThomasSowell]

Some Americans will never appreciate America, until after they have helped destroy it, and have then begun to suffer the consequences.
