He’s actually not sounding like a Democrat at all, which is probably why he did not consider running as one, so not sure why it’s even a storyline. I’m more interested in why he doesn’t run as a Republican. Also, perplexed about how one defines a free job...
Also, side note: When you pay taxes none of these things are free —we’ve paid for them. Funny, he is not talking about free war and free roads.
I mean, I guess it’s logical if you believe we should invest in corporations and not people.

Growing up in government-(ie taxpayer)subsidized housing is actually the opposite of making it by yourself. Your fellow Americans put in so your parents could provide you decent housing.
Would love to here the plans to support a massive investment in building and repairing public housing from all the conservatives in my timeline right now so offended by what they want to pretend is my disparagement of people who lived in public housing.

I was tired before I tweeted this. I’m exhausted now. I want to just delete it altogether because I don’t want to read a single other response.
We kick and Marcus Garvey out now because he was Jamaican? Do we need to view Frederick Douglass with more suspicion bc his dad was white? What abt Malcolm X? He had parent from the W Indies and his mom was light some said she might’ve been white. I just want to know the rules.
Y’all want to question someone’s politics and whether their politics are black enough that is 100% fair game but I don’t get this parsing that’s taking place right now.

So, we really going to have a segment of black folks giving the correct-type-of-blackness litmus test to Kamala Harris like we did with Obama? Critiques that have nothing to do with her politics but only to do if she is really the right kinda black? I’m already tired.
What’s so wack about it is 1) The sense that black Americans are not by definition racially mixed. 2) If she did not claim her blackness, exact same folks would be calling her a sellout 3) As if black people did not arrive to Jamaica on the same damn ships as those who got here.
Some folks might be shocked that Shirley Chisholm was born to two black immigrant parents. Guess we can’t count/claim her either.

Everyone has questions about #Democrat #Corruption now. Why won't top #Democrats consider building the Wall? We should ask my frmr boss and friend, past DHS Sec. Janet Napolitano. That's her with #Mexico Pres. Enrique Peña Nieto. Forget about a handshake. That's a HUG, friends.
By now, everyone knows about a certain article that has been circulating in the press. It's no secret. #Mexico guys, don't be mad at me. You guys control a big piece of this newspaper. Your newspaper printed this article. Just going to leave it here. nytimes.com/2019/01/15/nyr…
Satire, anyone? "Democrats. We realized Trump was mopping the floor with your party. We realized you were weak at fundraising. Don't worry! Mexico has ample funding we can filter up to you, through 1,000 different clever methods!" Sadly, it's not necessarily far from the #TRUTH.

Madam Oby’s withdrawal from a presidential race that existed only in her mind is a fitting denouement to the journey in circles which she had led a few gullible folks to embark on with her.

I think she deserves to be politically interrogated so that we may be guided in future.
The starting point of that interrogation will be to ask when her presidential ambition was conceived.

For me, there is a lot fraudulent in that PACT where the loser and the winner both claimed victory.

The bigger fraudulence though is when the umpire also decided to compete.
Bear in mind: that very rarely did we see Madam Oby conduct herself as a contender even after that, she seemed more interested in using the platform of presidential contest to launch attacks on APC and PDP - which out of political ignorance, she continues to insist are the same.

You can find my first thread, which covers Chapters 1-100 and the... *checks the Wiki* Romance Dawn, Orange Town, Syrup Village, Baratie, Arlong Park, and Loguetown arcs here:

- Alabasta’s dope
- Somewhere there’s giants???

Jacob Wohl is on a Facebook livestream describing his thought process going into his tweets:

“It just hits me like a lightning bolt. I’ll be sitting there eating breakfast and I’ll be like ‘man, I just thought of a good one!’”
"These people that criticize you are just low IQ people, they just aren't smart enough to get it. They're stupid."
-Shane Bouvet says about Jacob Wohl's tweets
"You're probably one of the greatest, highest up people on social media."

This is an interesting summary of "Brexit cases" pending before the EU courts.

A few comments 1/x

In a variety of cases, Brexit starts to reach EU court | Article [AMP] | Reuters uk.reuters.com/article/uk-bri…
2 The first case referred to (which I was unaware of 😨) is on the impact of Brexit on EU trade marks. Probably this one: curia.europa.eu/juris/document…
Not from a Spanish court, but challenging the EU agency based in Spain. (nb: normally you can't raise a new point on appeal)
3 The second case referred to is the Irish Supreme Court request to rule on whether the prospect of Brexit already messes up the execution of European Arrest Warrants issued by the UK. National judgment here: supremecourt.ie/Judgments.nsf/…

Just read this abt Taylor Swift: “she did a good thing by bringing a sexual harasser to justice for a non-sum of money to show that she wasn’t doing it for wealth or fame” and can we talk abt this statement for a quick second?
This is not about Taylor Swift but about the idea that there is something “noble” or “elevated” about seeking justice without a financial motive. and truly? that’s bullshit of the highest order.
First, we don’t live in a utopia where people have access to things even if they don’t have money so this foolish notion that victims (of abuse, harassment, crime, violence, etc) should be “the better person” needs to die
