I don’t get it - it’s a flex AOC was a bartender but it’s a negative Markwayne was a plumber?
You are such a hack.
CJ Pearson@Cjpearson
Jimmy Kimmel: "Before he was elected to the Senate, Markwayne Mullin was plumber. That's right. We have a plumber protecting us from terrorism now." The elitism of Hollywood summarized in one moment. 👇

@GOPMajorityWhip Why are you such a boot licker? Is it the tasty drippings from the diaper?

Why are Steve Simon and Tim Walz so afraid to turn over Minnesota’s voter rolls? ACCOUNTABILITY IS COMING.
WCCO | CBS News Minnesota@WCCO
EXCLUSIVE: The Minnesota Secretary of State's Office has received a grand jury subpoena ordering it to turn over certain individual voter records, as part of a federal investigation into whether non-citizens are registered or have unlawfully cast ballots. cbsnews.com/minnesota/news…

It's insane to think a ground invasion would make them capitulate quickly.
We would definitely win. But it'll take time.
The Times of Israel@TimesofIsrael
BREAKING: Trump leaning toward ground invasion, convinced Iran will then capitulate, a mediating official tells The Times of Israel. An official from one of the countries mediating between the US and Iran tells The Times of Israel that US President Donald Trump appears to be leaning toward ordering a major US ground operation against Iran, with Washington convinced Tehran will buckle under such military pressure. The official intimately familiar with the mediation efforts says the US privately recognizes that Iran is not likely to agree to the concessions presented in Washington’s 15-point plan and has dispatched thousands of troops to the region in order to capture Tehran’s Kharg Island on Trump’s orders.

@AriFleischer Why do you lie? Is that some kind of boot licker side-effect?
English
It wasn’t stand alone. How can you tell people that?
The D bill to “fund” TSA contained partisan poison pills to “reform” ICE.
If there was a clean bill to fund TSA, it would pass 100-0.
This is all about the Ds taking out their hatred of ICE on TSA workers.
Sam Stein@samstein
I'm trying to make sure i understand this. Republicans did not want to pass a standalone bill to pay TSA agents but they supportive of Trump using emergency authorities to pay TSA agents?

@neoavatara Well, it seems to me you're a sadist. Can't see how anyone gets pleasure in messing around with people who are making an honest living.
English
Let me be clear: I 100% support this. It must happen.
But...there will be consequences, including possibly shipping problems. But those are 17,000 good American jobs that someone can fill...if they choose to do it.

BREAKING — Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy reveals 17,000 truckers have been pulled off America's roads for FAILING to pass English language proficiency standards set by the Trump administration.

@EWErickson Man, you are one desperate boot licker. Maybe grow up?
English
The press and Democrats believe there is no plan, it is all chaos, and the President is flying by the seat of his pants. The President is happy for them to believe that. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

@jimgeraghty Boot licker. Who gives an f about trans unless they're compensating for their own down-low fantasies? Who gives an f about deporting people, who in my experience are salt of the earth and contribute greatly to our economy? Cultural elite, LOL! Blue city phobia is idiotic.
English
And then, at some point in 2027 or 2028, the electorate will start to remember why they were willing to give Trump another chance in the last presidential election. Add up the smug cultural elitism, the distinctly minority position on trans issues, the persistent reluctance to deport those who enter the country illegally, the absolute addiction to raising taxes and high-profile failures of the blue state model and blue cities from California to Chicago to New York, and you see that the Democratic positions of today aren’t all that different in their policy views from 2024, when they proved capable of losing to Donald Trump again.

@RetroRob71 @LakotaMan1 "Liberal sheep." Wow, a MAGAt(ard) said that?
English
Hey you stupid piece of shit, they are not afraid of being accountable, they are afraid one of you liberal fucking sheep coming to their houses and hurt someone in their family. I hope one of these dirty fucking illegals never rapes/kills someone you love. However, if it does happen, I bet you change your tune very fast. You are a brainwashed idiot with zero critical thinking skills that probably watches CNN and the View 24/7.

Criminal ICE agents don’t want to be held accountable for their human rights violations.
I say, fuck em’.
ID all them maskless bastards.

@BowTiedXmas There seemed to be an idea that magic words would save them.

@LyleKraft Sinners failing to meet God's perfect standard is not new
English
“Ultimately, that means killing his heart and raising him up to new life in Christ.”
That doesn't mean physical death. It means death to the old self and born again in Christ. Do these people not know real Christians?
James Surowiecki@JamesSurowiecki
This is the pastor Pete Hegseth brought into the Pentagon during working hours to lead a prayer service. Will Hegseth disavow him now? Of course not, because Hegseth is a fanatical Christian nationalist.
English
@BowTiedXmas The problem is that the rot runs deep. Perhaps it's better now? When I left my fundamentalist Baptist church, it was because my eyes were opened to the fact that the teachings of Jesus were an after-thought. They used theology to oppress, where Jesus would use love to set free.
English
@BowTiedXmas But American evangelical Christianity is new. Yes, it has its roots in the Reformation, but it has taken some bizarre turns. Trump worship, prosperity "gospel," worship of wealth, etc.
English
This is standard christian theology. It has remained unchanged since the earliest church writings in addition to the Bible itself.
This theology has been challenged and defended by the most brilliant minds over generations. Their works are available to read. And Christianity continues to persist.
English
@BowTiedXmas Yeah, know about your theology. In fact, I've studied several theologies. Theology is man made. Perhaps you might supplement your theological studies with examinations of history, natural science, the arts, etc.? Or perhaps, focus a little more on the teachings of Jesus?
English
@LyleKraft When compared to God and his standard everyone is a sinner. If you break part of the law you break all of the law.
Thankfully we don't need to live under the law when Christ can justify us before the judge. If you want him to do that for you.
English
@BowTiedXmas @ReadYouForFree1 @EWErickson Your accusations seem to me to be a confession of your own degeneracy. Not everyone is a degenerate. That seems to be the state of evangelical "Christianity" today. I'm guessing you're a Calvinist or a fundamentalist. I'm really glad I left the cult 46 years ago.
English
@ReadYouForFree1 @EWErickson If I apply the standard you demand I would never vote again because eveyone is degenerate. But that is exactly what the left wants because they would never hold themselves to the standard they demand of me
English
@RepMaryFranson By "mocking him," you mean mocking you (justifiably)? Sounds like idolatry of self.
English
Jesus is coming back to judge the living and the dead …. I certainly wouldn’t be mocking Him.
Minnesota House DFL@mnhouseDFL
GOP Rep. Mary Franson says she's not worried about climate change because it's not in the Bible: "If you've read the Good Book, you know how it ends, and it's not with climate change." How can we expect Republicans to do serious work when they're so proud about ignoring science?
English
Appreciated being with SD 57 Republicans in Lakeville last night to speak about our campaign, who I am, and why I am running for the U.S. Senate.
We all love Minnesota and are sad about how the far-left has changed our state. This election is about sending conservative leaders to Washington who will end the crisis created by failed liberal policies.

@redpillmd @mcuban In Minnesota, the DMV is fine. I've never had an issue, and I've been dealing with them for 47 years.

The big lie of “gov sucks at everything “ , is that they suck the most at enforcing performance and costs.
You know what’s worse than the gov running a service? Private companies knowing that the gov entities they contract with can’t do shit to stop them from fucking up everything and making a fortune.
I’m not saying this applies to every private company. Many do have ethics. Not all. And as an entrepreneur, it’s embarrassing to us all.
Need proof ? Look at the Noem ad contract.
Look at healthcare. Taxpayers provide 70pct or more of the revenue of the largest insurance companies.
Those same insurance companies get fined and found liable for ripping off taxpayers, again and again and again. And they still get to do business with the gov, knowing they can effectively steal money from us all. The fines are a nuisance.
And this is healthcare. When they lie, people die.
Maybe when we are smart enough to pass laws saying that gov contractors get one mulligan. Two fines from any government entity and you are blacklisted from Gov contracts at the state and federal level for 10 years. That’s when things will change
Until then the concept of privatization of gov services like the tsa or post office or .. is just a license for a private company to abuse taxpayers and face next to no consequences.
depressivehacks@depressivehacks
Mark, why do you think government intervention into the free market is the answer here over an economic solution? I would argue that there is too much government intervention in healthcare and insurance, which has led to a lot of the costs being driven up in the first place. The fact is that if there was a more direct relationship between customers and cost, prices would decrease. Nobody is paying six figures out of pocket for their medical expenses. The only reason those expenses remain so high is that insurance companies boost the market rate and inflate costs. Certainly, I am not advocating for people to not receive essential care that they need to survive, but from a market philosophy perspective, I can't see how more government intervention leads to anything but exacerbation of the outcomes that they themselves have gotten us into to begin with.

@RogueZebraTMR @redheadranting Is your life being destroyed? Wow, dire, if true. Maybe get outside and enjoy God's blessings.
English
@redheadranting @LyleKraft That's the thing @redheadranting their lives aren't being destroyed in their eyes.
They can't see forest, only trees.

I've been thinking about this all day - why would a politician move to another state and run for local office? The top tier of Minnesota elected leaders are all from other states - Walz is from Nebraska, Ellison is from Michigan, Angie Craig is from Arkansas, Tina Smith is from New Mexico. Why would you move to another state and then want to represent those people? Wouldn't it make more sense for all of these politicians to try to win an election in their home state - a place where they understand the people? And why would the citizens trust anyone from another state to represent them?
