Curious: Did Lindsey Graham object or say anything when Robert Mueller died and Trump tweeted something to the effect of, “good riddance”? If not, I assume that means he was OK with celebrating a man’s death. So.

I realize this is obvious to most but allow me to rant: At the core of Trump's base love for him is a simmering resentment over their mediocrity and gratitude for him making it permissible to be arrogant whilst mediocre. Everything in this cult can be traced back to that. (thread)

Because none of that stuff -- other than voting -- is a right guaranteed to all citizens in the United States Constitution. You useless, hollow shitheel hack of a lying politician.

Mike Johnson: "Americans need an ID to drive, to open a bank account, to buy cold medicine, to file govt assistance, even to attend the DNC. So why would voting be any different? They can't answer that question."

His bit about Black airline pilots is one of Charlie Kirk’s most common racist talking point. He repeated this nonsense OFTEN, dozens of times. Black people shouldn’t have to explain how and why this is openly racist but here you go:

Crockett on Homan: For instance, when you are talking about solicitation, and it has to do with, say, prostitution, it's not a matter of whether or not the prostitution took place. The solicitation is complete. Once you actually engage in the agreement, that is enough for solicitation.

Yeah, I'm not honoring that ... it's unfortunate more of my colleagues even on my side couldn't see the amount of harm this man was attempting to inflict upon our communities"

The killer may turn out to be a confused, young, white man from a gun-friendly Republican home with no coherent set of political views or inspirations. But that’s not the weirdest possible scenario here. What follows is a 🧵 that considers a far more bizarre scenario…ready? 1/x

We didn’t change the name of the Department of War to Department of Defense. DOD was entirely new, combining Cabinet level Depts of War, Navy and the new Air Force into a brand new thing. Unless they’re also reviving Navy & AF and the rest as their own depts, this isn’t “restoring” a damn thing.
