You literally sanctioned me for exercising my freedom of speech.

Ursula von der Leyen@vonderleyen

this is such an insanely narcissistic line of reasoning. just as the feelings of segregationists didn't change the immoral nature of jim crow laws - the feelings of those who defend israel (jewish or not) have no bearing on the moral argument against genocide and apartheid!

I really don’t understand this — Maine is a Clinton/Biden/Harris state that has trended bluer in recent cycles relative to the national average. Platner is running in a favorable cycle. To win, he just needs to get loyal Democrats to stop ticket-splitting.

@JasonJournoDC @ScottJenningsKY Geraldo has a second empty vault to investigate and because boomer conservatives aren’t literate I have to explicitly say it’s his skull.

💥NEW: Geraldo Rivera says Adam Mockler was "D*CK" to @ScottJenningsKY before he snapped💥
"Chris, the kid was a d*ck ... he was really being a d*ck. Shut up. Go out and get some life experience."

@jkbjournalist @KlinglerRobin If this guy was poor / unconnected he’d already be investigated and jailed for even one visit to a known house of prostitution
