Yes, Twitter has completely fucked up our national narrative.
I wonder who is the worst person using Twitter for his own identity politics.

Like the Kardashians! Or dating websites for Jewish singles that show nothing but white Jews in their advertising! Or that shitty fidget toy that'll end up in landfills once people get bored playing with them!

What did I expect ?
The Pseudo- Conservatives are continuing to scream at their own reflections, in a mirror.

Trump has cultivated his ability to cause people to bristle (like a porcupine), for all of his life. Mental equivalent of horrible, bullying handshake moves.

Massive scandal in new Zealand politics in the lead up to our general election.
Poster boy, government member of parliament, caught in a sex and drugs scandal, forced to stand down. It's heating up down under, so to speak.

(Almost posted this on the GB, where someone pointed out that carnival horses are impaled to the structure with a pole.)
Good gracious
The alts of a certain age rode rocking horses, mechanical ponies, and visited the merry-go- round, where Vlad the Impaler fitted an animal with a pike that pinned it to the floor and ceiling. The faces of the carnival horses reflect agony. (Those that graduated to flesh and blood ponies, might have developed strange dreams,)
Is it any wonder, that half of the country is plagued with cognitive dissonance? OTOH I hope that the self driving cars have been programmed to avoid deer,bears, moose, stray llamas,stray horses, coyotes, dogs, and cats.
Gigantic feral, wild boars are not a concern in "the north."

It appears that Republicans are much better at obstruction than they are at governance and legislation. Mitch may need to rethink his strategy of huddling with a few of his close buddies to craft legislation and then depend on his personal charm (??) to sell it. Maybe he should read The Art of the Deal.

People keep saying Obama's ignoring Trump's bullshit, but I think he's trolling him by being so happy and enjoying his damn life. I'm positive it drives the con man crazy, dealing with this whole governing shit he NEVER WANTED TO DO while O is off being so cool. Being Pwesident is HARD waaa waaa
Obama is the one man on the planet who knows what Trump is dealing with and he's all Suck It, I'm having FUN

Patrick Henry's impassioned plea at the second Virginia Convention of 1775, "Give me liberty or give me death," defined the American Revolution. The one-hour docu-drama LIBERTY OR DEATH captures this seminal moment in American history by balancing experts' commentary on the events preceding the second Virginia Convention with dramatic re-enactments of the historic moments that followed.
"Live Free or Die"

3:8 State Motto. – The words "Live Free or Die,'' written by General John Stark, July 31, 1809, shall be the official motto of the state.

When liberal democrats hear about a terrorist attack and find out it's Islamist jihadis spreading the realigion of peace.

"As Obama made his half-assed case for whatever we call bombing-even-more-than-we-we’re-bombing-already anymore, the same neocons who’d screwed up Iraq in the Bush years suddenly materialized to tell everybody Obama should be following their more belligerent example, at least rhetorically."

First, he should have said that ISIL is not Islamic, not Islamist,” said The American Interest‘s Adam Garfinkle, straightening his pocket protector, “since, as he put it, no religion condones the killing of innocents.” Garfinkle added that only “in some oxygen-deprived airy abstract zone of theology, the president is right: Islam, and Islamic law strictly understood, does not condone the killing of innocents in war.” Here in the real world of small-circ rightwing magazines, Obama was just being oversensitive about the “bogeyman of Islamophobia,” but it’s all bullshit because “there are lots of examples of jihadis killing innocents in droves.”
Garfinkle eventually came around to admitting, perhaps at the insistence of an editor, that Christians have done some massacres too. “Does that make Christianity not a religion of peace? Not necessarily,” he phumphered: “What it shows is that statements of such platitudinous generality are meaningless except as speechwriter offerings on the altar of political correctness.” (I.e.: OK, forget what I said about the Muslims, here’s 3,154 more words on why Obama sucks.)

Hobby Lobby wired money to seven private bank accounts (to purchase ancient artifacts looted from World Heritage sites, by ISIS.)
ISIS destroyed and burned sites, and killed people, to hide the thefts.
The items- 5,500 ancient artifacts purchased by Hobby Lobby
(cuneiform tablets, 144 cylinder seals, used to roll decorative images onto clay, as well as clay bullae, which were used to create wax tokens to authenticate documents.)... falsely marked as tiles originating in Turkey, were then shipped to three corporate addresses in Oklahoma. A final shipment, claiming to be from Israel, was later shipped to a Hobby Lobby address in 2011.

Fed Ex label said hand crafted tiles, valued at under $300.00
ted | In 2011, U.S. Customs officials in Memphis, Tennessee, intercepted a suspiciously labeled FedEx package sent by an Israeli antiquities dealer to the compound of a wealthy biblical antiquities collector in Oklahoma City. The FedEx bill identified the contents as “hand-crafted clay tiles” worth less than $300.00

Steve Green, a billionaire evangelical of Hobby Lobby
Under Green’s leadership, his family has reportedly spent $800 million rapidly amassing their collection of ancient artifacts and building a Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C., to house it.

As the Hobby Lobby's smuggled antiquity drama seems to be drawing to a close, the Museum of the Bible is distancing itself from the affair.

"The archeologist Michael Danti, who spoke at the Met, recently told me in a phone call from Iraq that he has seen looted antiquities marketed directly to potential buyers via social networks, including Facebook, WhatsApp, and Snapchat."
Sebelius v. Hobby Lobby Stores Inc.
2012
Hobby Lobby sued Kathleen Sebelius, then the head of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), arguing that Obamacare’s contraception mandate placed a substantial burden on the firm because if the company chooses not to cover the birth control methods it finds objectionable, then it would have to pay a penalty of $100 per per day for each of its 13,000 employees.
According to the Food and Drug Administration, all four of the contraceptive methods Hobby Lobby objects to—Plan B, Ella, and two intrauterine devices—do not prevent the implantation of a fertilized egg into the uterus, which the owners of Hobby Lobby consider abortion. Instead, these methods prevent fertilization.
Yet this scientific determination did not guide the five justices. In his opinion, Alito contends that these four contraception methods “may have the effect of preventing an already fertilized egg from developing any further by inhibiting its attachment to the uterus.” He does not cite any science to back this up. Instead, in a footnote, Alito concedes that Hobby Lobby’s religious-based assertions are contradicted by science-based federal regulations: “The owners of the companies involved in these cases and others who believe that life begins at conception regard these four methods as causing abortions, but federal regulations, which define pregnancy as beginning at implantation, do not so classify them.” Still, he and the other conservative justices are saying that in a conflict between a religious view and scientific research, religion wins.

Tomorrow, the KKK and American Nazis are demonstrating in the center of my town for five hours. Thank you Donald and the Trump Chumps. And they say they are coming armed. Thank you Republican Congress and the NRA--and the gun nuts on this board. Hope they make it to your town too.

Sounds like your part of yankee land is becoming more and more like Afghanistan. Fanatical nutters wandering around carrying weapons openly in public! They'll be demanding women's rights be rescinded and non religious subjects be excluded from schooling!
