@graysonguinn_ @JoelWBerry Yeah so there is room for improvement for sure. And you don’t think diversity is inherently good?

@DStauntOnEm @JoelWBerry Well I didn’t say it was the same degree, in any case they’d be disadvantaged compared to say Anglo Saxons, but they were restricted from some professions, associations, and universities for some time

Hahahahaaa this guy is such a disaster
James Talarico@jamestalarico
I’m co-authoring legislation to explicitly teach “diversity, equity, and inclusion” in our schools. I’ve also filed House Bill 4111 which would require school districts over a certain size to hire a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Officer.

@JennMGreenberg I guess you can make that argument when you decide to define non-binary in a completely novel way. But God is literally non-binary: not defined by a particular gender. Male and female were both created in God’s image. Divine masculine and feminine.
English
The problem is that “non-binary” is a sexually and politically loaded term.
God is a spirit. The Son became human (while remaining fully God), and is male. God the Father, and certainly God the Spirit, are spirit. They do not have bodies as we do.
That being said, they are not non-binary.
A non-binary person is a male or a female human who is either extremely confused, traumatized, unwell, or narcissistic, and who has chosen to reject their biological gender.
God has always been as he is now. God is unchanging. He is not confused, traumatized, unwell, or narcissistic, so God is not non-binary.

James Talarico claims God is “non-binary,” but Scripture consistently refers to God as Father, King, and Lord. Regardless what you think about the masculine or feminine features of God, Genesis 1:27 is very clear: God made us male and female. If God is the Creator of all things, then He alone is the definer of all things. James Talarico doesn't submit to God as the creator and the ruler of all things. He sees God is a political pawn.

@KAB_360 @barikofthetiers @cmclymer Are we really better off with exploding national debt, crumbling infrastructure, stagnant wages, wealth inequality, and student/medical debt that barely existed before Reagan cut top rates?
Also, thanks for demonstrating how I’m not a communist / that was a cheap deflection.
English
@DStauntOnEm @barikofthetiers @cmclymer Like 39%...and my "Yes" was a joke.
Doesn't really matter. The Federal government shouldn't be taking care of us on the individual level. They should be taking care of us on things we can't individually...defending the border, defending our country, etc.

@conservmillen Genesis 1:27. Both male and female in God’s image.

@EWErickson Infidelity is practically a requirement to be a GOP candidate. Hold up a mirror.

The melt down after hitching a wagon to a Nazi is hilarious. Awful man did awful things and it’s nobody’s business. Sure.
Morris Katz@katz_morris
It’s no one’s fucking business what happened in Graham & Amy’s marriage before he was ever a candidate for office. There should be no place in our politics for incompetent, opportunistic operatives who violate privacy, betray trust, and prioritize vengeance over decency.

@redfang58 Infidelity has literally never stopped a GOP candidate from success in politics.

If you want your private life to stay private don't run for office.

@trouble_man90 Funny how infidelity is a baseline prerequisite for GOP candidates but somehow disqualifying for Dem candidates.
English
@LoewyLawFirm @davidsirota I thought infidelity was a baseline requirement for republican candidates, why would it be disqualifying?
English
Surprised the Nazi Tattoo would be cheating on his wife.
Wonder if @davidsirota will bring this up in next interview.

“Days after Graham Platner announced his Maine Senate bid, his wife informed the campaign about a potential political problem she had previously discovered on the oyster farmer’s phone: sexually explicit texts with several women” wsj.com/politics/elect…

@DavidAFrench Wow David. Is this worse than if he were to cheat on every wife he’s ever had?
English
More evidence of who this guy is. And spare me the notion that you have to elect him to stop … *Checks notes* a senator who voted to convict Trump.
The Wall Street Journal@WSJ
The wife of the Maine’s Democratic Senate candidate disclosed the texts between Platner and other women to his campaign. on.wsj.com/4wUyPKR

@KAB_360 @barikofthetiers @cmclymer lol fantastic historical awareness.
By the way, the marginal tax rate for the top earners before JFK was over 90%. He decreased that to 70%. The 1940s-1960s are typically viewed as a golden age in the U.S.
Do you know what the top marginal tax rate is today?

@graysonguinn_ @JoelWBerry How were Jewish Americans prohibited from financial success to the same degree as black Americans?
English
@DStauntOnEm @JoelWBerry doesn't need to be the same magnitude. They were discriminated against and yet came out wealthier on average than their oppressors. Should be a sign that discrimination isn't the whole story. And the changes in $ growth for black people dropping after the 60s as racism receeded

@DStauntOnEm @WVValkeryie @MustangMan_TX 😆😆That would be ridiculous!
Or someone who couldn’t go a day without obsessing over that man.

So he hung out with a girl once. A lot of gay people like hanging around girls.
Do you think he would have any clue what to do with one?
Brian Tyler Cohen@briantylercohen
Congrats to the GOP for forcing the entire country talk about @JamesTalarico’s girlfriend, who it turns out is super hot 👍
English
@graysonguinn_ @JoelWBerry Oh, Jewish people were enslaved then actively segregated in the United States? Which 400 year period was that?
English
@DStauntOnEm @JoelWBerry I think that discrimination is a bad candidate, because other groups similarly discriminated against have done v well comparatively, such as Jewish people, and because many disparities arise late in the story, such as the high crime and broken families in black neighborhoods

@SpencerHakimian Chat, is this as bad as cheating on every single one of your multiple wives?

@DStauntOnEm @barikofthetiers @cmclymer President Kennedy realized that high tax rates are bad. He was a Democrat.

@esjesjesj If he was really straight, he’d have a girlfriend AND a wife like Ken Paxton.

There’s a crazy reason for this and you aren’t going to like it
Tim Pool@Timcast
if they really think its ok to be gay then why won't james talarico say hes gay?
English
@Mellecon Sounds like you’re paid to spread lies on behalf of the GOP. Only logical conclusion. Also, Ken Paxton’s mistress is a beard.
English
@DStauntOnEm I don’t get defensive and it’s all over my Timeline from the pushed PR, so of course I commented. No one really cares but I glad you’ve deluded yourself into thinking that.
English
Who says the DNC doesn’t create jobs outside government hiring. At this point they must just have a beard hiring service they can pick out of a catalog.

@Mellecon Seems like you care enough to tweet about it and then get defensive about it in the comments.
Nobody cares if he’s straight. He just happens to be straight, and that triggers conservatives for some reason.
English
@DStauntOnEm I don’t know if he’s a gay. I honestly don’t care. I’m highly amused that so many dumbasses including Democrats care that he’s straight.
English
@Mellecon A useful idiot? What do you call someone saying exactly what the GOP response bot farms are training you to say?
What makes you so certain Talarico is gay? You seen him while cruising Grindr, or?
English
@DStauntOnEm I don’t say you were paid. You’re just a useful idiot.
