@browntom1234 @godless_mom Can I skip the stomping and just get my ass eaten?

@godless_mom I see he's a Disney fan! (Lower left: The Punisher is owned by Disney now)

@RepNancyMace Forget the light sentence. The substantive matter is that you fools failed in your efforts to hang on him Burisma, China, or any of the other serious allegations.

@janinereturns @neontaster You should read the actual guidelines from the Academy. They provide a menu of 6 options to choose 2 for qualification. Only 2 of the 6 are about actors. The rest are about crew, writers, producers, etc.
English

@neontaster This has been the de facto rule for Best Picture WINNERS since at least 2017.
But shall we start a list of previous Best Picture NOMINEES that would now be ineligible?
I’ll go first: Saving Private Ryan

I keep thinking nothing will surprise me anymore but fucking yikes.

@HetkeBrian @pinkheretic I never pray for “things.” It’s more of a meditative practice, wherein I often find peace, comfort and direction.
English

@somewhere_saint @pinkheretic When you use the word “prayer”, do you mean asking god for specific outcomes for circumstances in outside world? Or do you mean a practice that helps you align with reality by giving up trying to control things you can’t? Wondering if this disagreement is just definitional.
English


@neontaster I looked at the actual new criteria, and they are very flexible. There is a menu of 6 options, from which just 2 can be chosen to qualify. Only 2 of the 6 option have to do with actors. Others include crew, writers, producers, directors, etc.
English

@pinkheretic I know when something helps me without charts and graphs. It’s faith, not science, and I’m glad to have it and not be obsessed with trying to dissuade people on Twitter.
English

@somewhere_saint Correction, you think it works for you because of confirmation bias. Prayer has been proven to not work and when someone knows they are being prayed for it results in worse outcomes, jamanetwork.com/journals/jamai…

@Tendar I wonder if targeting is being assisted by the resistance in that area.

We already knew that Rykove was an important logistics center for the Russian army, but the results of the destruction leave no doubt that this was a primary logistics center, containing thousands of tons of ammunition and fuel.
An event of that magnitude will have more impact on the battlefield then battalion of destroyed armored vehicles, and they are by far singular events. Russian logistics centers have been recently leveled in Melitopol, Tokmak, Berdyansk, Lazurne and Skadovsk, and probably even more cities.

@waitmanb @PaulHJossey Nazis were socialists, like Trump is a conservative.
English

🧵I guess it's time for The Dumb Debate™ again about whether the Nazis were socialists. (They weren't).
These guys just want Nazism to be a left-wing ideology SO BADLY.
But who better to do this history than @PaulHJossey...a campaign finance attorney.

@JaigenCole @pinkheretic He could if he wished, but like I said, he’s not a micromanager.

@somewhere_saint Prayer does not comfort the afflicted. Helping them does. Praying only comforts those praying.

@TeaPainUSA Not all Republicans are racists, but most racists are Republicans.
English

Not everybody in America is racist. Nor everybody in the Republican party. But there's enough racists in the Republican party to easily qualify America as a "racist country."

@joerogan You are a talk show clown. He is a noted virologist. Even suggesting a debate between the two is ignorant.
English

This is a non answer. I challenged you publicly because you publicly quote tweeted and agreed with that dogshit vice article. If you’re really serious about what you stand for, you now have a massive opportunity for a debate that will reach the largest audience a discussion like this has ever had. If you think someone else is better qualified, suggest that person.

@AstorAaron There’s a distinct difference between infrastructure construction and emergency repair. But Joe and Pete are making great strides overall.
English

Infrastructure construction takes far longer than it should. And this is not just in blue cities like Philly. Alcoa Hwy here in East TN has been under a reconstruction plan for over 10 years and it just crawls along. Why?

The lesson of the speedy I-95 repair — slow, expensive, bloated infrastructure projects is a policy choice. We actually do know how to prioritize speed and efficiency when we decide we want to. trib.al/qYTiLXm

As a healthcare worker who was on the frontlines during COVID, I can confidently report to you with 100% proven reliability that vaccines, in fact, do work. Please don’t listen to Joe Rogan or RFK. Because they have absolutely no idea what they’re talking about.
Also, I’d be more than willing to engage them both in a debate vis-a-vis COVID and the merits of vaccine efficacy.

So this is why Elon Musk and his coterie are so eager to use Name ID confusion to spread chaos in the Democratic primary, in advance of the main event against the twice-impeached, twice-indicted, jury-proven sex offender they will back after their DeSantis option sputters out.
