The President of the United States is condoning and encouraging open gun battles between civilians on public streets, and vigilante justice. That is not ok.

Disagreeing with the current Israeli government does not make someone an anti-semite.

Tbh, it still makes me angry that there are even 300 people that think it’s at least “somewhat true.”

If your business isn’t successful enough to treat your employees fairly, and pay them what they need, then you shouldn’t be in business. Same thing I say when people argue against legally requiring a living wage.

This conversation is going nowhere, so I’m not going to repeat myself any more.

No, I am not going to try to explain to you why dehumanization, torture, and forced labor is bad. I don’t believe you actually think it isn’t, but in fact you’re just arguing because you can.

Hey man, I get the whole “morality is relative” thing, but come on. If you’re going to argue that it’s possible that treating people as property, less than human, torturing them, destroying their families, rape, etc. are ok and maybe even good, then I don’t know what to say. You’re just arguing for the sake of…

Enslaving someone against their will, dehumanizing them, and physically and emotionally abusing them is objectively wrong. It doesn’t matter one bit how many people in the past accepted it.

“The decision... is a perfect example of the outlandish doctrine of judicial supremacy whereby judges exalt themselves over the Constitution they are sworn to uphold”

“A few rogue campaign staffers”? “Behind the back of the campaign”? Manafort was the campaign chairman.....

Seems like a good opportunity to remind everyone of my favorite twitter thread ever (in reply to the pic included in this article, in fact!):

Zinke is living out his Teddy Roosevelt fantasy to the fullest, except in this fantasy he gets to give away public land to corporations, and make sure his friends get to grab as much money from the government as possible while neglecting people in need of services.

Hey, lighten up.

It feels like it’s straight out of a mediocre spy movie. It’s a code-name in a Bourne ripoff.

Alonso was at full speed coming at him, and when he makes his lunge to tackle, Flacco had not yet given himself up. You can see the moment when Flacco realizes he’s going to get hit, and tries to slide even though he knows it’s too late. This is completely a normal football play by Alonso, but it’s a shame that…

Why is it one or the other? Come on, you’re being disingenuous now.

Yep, that’s what I’m saying.
