@TheRickWilson A simple question, “Have you no decency, sir?” ended 3 years of McCarthyism. It collapsed what was left of McCarthy’s GOP’s support. We are so beyond decency when it comes to the GOP. So the question now lies with Americans ourselves come November. Have we no decency?

@XfinitySupport Is there an issue in DC? No TV; outage map not loading; customer service phone rings but hangs up; App not loading.

The National Park Service will begin clearing #homeless encampments in several Washington #DC locations on December 14th. Tents will be removed from the city’s many park-like circles which are under the NPS’s authority.

A soccer fan holds a rainbow flag on the subway in #Qatar2022 and is told by #FIFA volunteers to hide it. When he refuses other passengers push him against the doors. #VisitQatar
And what’s up with you @DaviBeckham24x7 promoting the country? Other than the cash. #DavidBeckham

@kylegriffin1 The Special Counsel’s office is subject to congressional funding. Like most government offices, it’s operating under a continuing resolution which runs out in less than 4 weeks, and less than 8 weeks before the #GOP has the will and ability to take its money away.

Trump CFO Weisselberg told a NY court that he acted alone and “betrayed” the company he loved by cheating on its taxes. And yet he remains employed by Trump with a 640k annual salary. 🤔 What is the job title for falling on a sword?

We now got an apology from Qatar International Media Office and from Qatar Supreme Commitee.
This is what happened when we were broadcasting live for @tv2nyhederne from a roundabout today in Doha. But will it happen to other media as well? #FIFAWorldCupQatar2022

@RonFilipkowski Even victorious, #GOP members of the House are so pathetically weak, they turn to consult each other (right) on whether it’s OK to applaud #SpeakerPelosi’s “voters showed our flag was still there line.” Absolutely pathetic.

From the network which bears responsibility for hyping Donald Trump’s first run (#CNN,) leading with “he aims to be only the 2nd US president ever elected to nonconsecutive terms,” seems to be missing some important context.

[CNN @CNN]

JUST IN: Former President Donald Trump announces another run for the White House and enters the 2024 race, aiming to become only the second US president ever elected to two nonconsecutive terms. https://t.co/RTLP0FmAcL

Mr. Attorney General, It’s Too Late to Appoint A Special Counsel — but now that the 60-day window has closed, it’s time to indict Donald Trump for espionage and related federal felonies including obstruction https://t.co/vGvdcxKHcX

@JakeSherman @GlennYoungkin @SpeakerPelosi Worth noting that VA Governor #GlennYoungkin (the red vest wearing GOP prez hopeful,) waited until AFTER it was clear America isn’t as MAGA red as he thought, to apologize to Speaker Pelosi for his mocking of the attack on her husband. His campaign logo changed to weather vane.

@GayleKing Why do you allow a platform for Nick Mulvaney’s lies? As @nancycordes pointed out, BOTH sides are not election deniers. But you let him continue to spread the lie. You can’t unring a bell.

[Tim Hillard @timehillard]

#Election police targeting Black voters in FL, #GOP blocking absentee ballots in PA and WI. And now @nytimes reports AG Garland may turn Trump investigations over to a Special Prosecutor. If the GOP is trying to bleed democracy w/1000 cuts, Garland could cut its throat. 🛑!

Both men revolutionized the auto industry, both were virulently anti-union, both played footsie with dictators and both purchased media outlets to propagandize their views of the world. History may not repeat, but it rhymes. #ElonMusk and #HenryFord.

@TheRickWilson Signs warning of #GOP 2022 election promises are everywhere.

@elonmusk @HillaryClinton #ElonMusk is more dangerous than a fool shouting “fire” in a crowded theatre. Time to treat #Twitter like all common carriers, remove its legal shield protections of the Communications Act. #RepealSection230.
At the least, he (like FOX) will spend all his time (and $$) in court.

“This is a developing story,” and a test for the #ChiefTwit

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

An emboldened cast of anonymous trolls spewed racist slurs and Nazi memes onto Twitter in the hours after Elon Musk took over, raising fears of how his pledge of unrestricted free speech could fuel a new wave of online hate. https://t.co/Y5ifL9Y7jZ

Should she win re-election and the democrats hold the Senate, #Washington Senator Patty Murray will likely become the senate’s president, third in line for the presidency. The position also comes with a security detail and more money for staff.
