@kronosquartet @AppleClassical I have a shelf of Kronos’ CDs, including Pieces of Africa, and even a Kronos channel on Apple. We owe the quartet our gratitude for sustaining quality and diverse contemporary classical music. Great performances of interesting works.

@johnastoehr Social security functions as income just like RMD’s from my retirement account. It should be taxed. As a senior I also benefit from a stronger, safer, healthier society supported by tax revenue.

@mluckovichajc @MuellerSheWrote Bless you. You are a national treasure. People should buy Mr. Lickovichajc’s books to provide him with the financial reward he deserves for helping us laugh in the face of political horror.

@SophiaBush @JoyceWhiteVance I will note there is a Justice in Easter falling on trans visibility day because to the Jesus of the gospel everyone was visible, especially the oppressed and marginalized. Love was for everyone.

@TheFungi669 My favorite Trump Bible verses are. To be without sin, cast the first stone. And. To avoid the mote in your own eye, point to the speck in another’s and call it BIGLY, DISGUSTING COMMIE CRIMINAL LOG.

@WalshFreedom It was terribly wrong. She was vilified from
The right and left and suffered severe career consequence. So could Trump if we don’t vote for him.

@BradMossEsq @MuellerSheWrote Assuming this crazy rulings, are those suspected of being undocumented entitled to due process? If so, imagine the burden on the police and courts. Glad Texas has no other crime to worry about.

@HumptyDrumpf @Numbers28 He deserves a lot of doubt. Doubt what he says. Doubt his promises. Doubt his competency.

@TheFungi669 Captain Obvious, sometimes your humor is the essential bulwark against despair.

[Robert von der Osten @vonderosten]

@TheFungi669 Just asking for Donald. Don’t the dead have total immunity?

[Robert von der Osten @vonderosten]

@TheFungi669 Well, he is the one who let himself get roped in to being Trump’s VP.

[Robert von der Osten @vonderosten]

@LakotaMan1 Not my district, but otherwise in a heartbeat.

[Robert von der Osten @vonderosten]

@TheFungi669 Isn’t that the GOP vita requirement for Presidential candidates? She is giving him a great start in GOP politics.

[Robert von der Osten @vonderosten]

@TheFungi669 Just think how lucrative 666 was for Jared. All you need is a father-in-lawless as President and a deal with Qatar. We just don’t grift well.

[Robert von der Osten @vonderosten]

@WalshFreedom Well, he needs money. Why not share intelligence with Mr. Transactional who views everything as for sale.

[Robert von der Osten @vonderosten]

@AshaRangappa_ She certainly will use any pause available, though the case is on failure to surrender the documents after she was no longer President. Love Ma. Rangappa’s informed posts.

[Robert von der Osten @vonderosten]

@GeorgeTakei Honestly, part of the problem with the GOP is a wacky notion of masculinity. Ice cream, hugs, love, compassion-out; fast food, shouting, hate, vilification, bluster-in.

[Robert von der Osten @vonderosten]

@TheFungi669 So suddenly Republicans have an unquestioning confidence in the government not to make a mistake. Whoops we swept up a few thousand citizens. Our bad.

[Robert von der Osten @vonderosten]

@WalshFreedom Biden isn’t just a vote against Trump; it is a vote for staying within the law, for due process of governing, the necessity of compromise, the importance of honoring commitments, and the essential need to respect facts.
