Incoming! Three alarm nothing burger! My privacy! My civil rights! Now that Proctor & Gamble knows I binge watch Jerry Seinfeld they’ll leverage this deep state intelligence to sell me toothpaste! Oh, the humanity! 

@flexghost

Reality television has turned Americans into a bunch of posing, performing, self-important, yaaahooos.

Tattoos are a lot like bumper stickers. Neither ages well and they’re really hard to remove.

@shoq

I just need a couple of Findlay sprinkler heads and a Langston 7-inch gangly wrench, please.

I’m not sure I understand why anyone is surprised evangelicals love Donald Trump.

@Mastopoet

Glad they did this

I agree it was a dirty trick, but the Democrats were on board too. That’s why I think it’s all bullshit performance politics so everyone can go back to their constituents and say “look at me! See how I’m not a racist! See how I’m the good guy!” Give me a freaking break!

It shouldn’t have been up to the university presidents to call bullshit. It should’ve been up to ANYONE on that committee possessing a fucking conscience!

I prefer passing them out to children when they are leaving school. 

@Snowshadow @Mastopoet

I did. I thought they were being badgered, and yes attacked. I think this says it all from the article...

“Over prepared and over lawyered given the hostile forum and high stakes, she provided a legalistic answer to a moral question, and that was wrong. It made for a dreadful 30-second sound bite in what was more than five hours of testimony.”

30 sec soundbites are great for performance politics, and these ladies campaign victims. 

@Snowshadow @Mastopoet

Do you believe that they are anti-Semitic?

Which is the more efficient method for genocide

I don’t know what to make of the contradiction of using democracy to vote against democracy. It makes my head hurt. 😵‍💫

@davidaugust @scottsantens

when I first saw this, I thought it might be about the Covid relief funding. We did have some inflation, but the relief funds seemed to have had a similar effect.

@Adam_Cadmon1 @SpinozasHeresy @jhavok

Not the best question for a privileged white guy, but I’ve had unpleasant encounters with police and they can be complete dickheads. No argument there.

@owlchemist @adhdeanasl

yeah, agreed. Are you sure you’re not “owlsley”chemist😏

@jhavok @SpinozasHeresy @Adam_Cadmon1

Whataboutism is easy and is as suspect as ACABisms.

Let me bring my point to your doorstep. When was the last time YOU had a purely social interaction with someone employed in law-enforcement? Did you have a beer? Did you get lunch? Did you watch your kids play soccer together? 

@Mrfunkedude

And the fart gets its start in the groove. Kinda like a snake eating its tail. 

@adhdeanasl

Consumer social media lives and dies on clickbait. Reactions are clicks and clicks are $$$. I think the last decade of social media induced cultural engineering has created a society full of vapid, self-centered reactionaries.

@jhavok @Adam_Cadmon1

I’ve never met Eric Adams, but given reporting on him, your opinions and mine are in alignment. However, I’m always suspicious of arguments stating that “All (insert sub-group, culture, religion, etc) are (insert pejorative)”. I try to base my opinions on my experiences and I have known people in law enforcement that are committed to their jobs (see J6 Capitol Police). That’s all I’m saying.
