1/ Remember when you first heard about the concept of the Electoral College? (Me at 10 years old: "What? Wait? You mean the person with the most votes *doesn't* win?!")

We must abolish the Electoral College & ...

#ElectoralCollege #NationalPopularVote #AbolishElectoralCollege
2/ ... in the interim pass State Laws, such that whichever candidate receives a majority of the popular vote, or a plurality of the popular vote (less than 50 percent but more than any other candidate), takes all of the state's Electoral votes.

#NationalPopularVote
3/ Not that the US is a Democracy, we're not (interrupt any politician who says so), we're a Constitutional Republic. But the Electoral College pushes us even further away from a Democracy. This is the wrong direction. We need to move *closer* to a true Democracy.

1/ THREAD: Body Language Analysis No. 4412: Queen Elizabeth, Donald Trump, Prince Charles & A Tale of Two Fingers — — #Nonverbal #EmotionalIntelligence #BodyLanguage #BodyLanguageExpert #QueenElizabeth #DonaldTrump #PrinceCharles #MiddleFinger #Pointing
2/ While meeting in London with other NATO Country leaders, Donald Trump and Melania met Queen Elizabeth, Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall. What follows is a partial nonverbal analysis of crucial portions of their greeting.
3/ In this first image (above), as Donald Trump turns the corner, he holds his mouth open for an extended time in a moment of feigned surprise-happiness. This is a common and insincere expression given upon greeting.

1/ THREAD: A brief distinction regarding the term, "Likeability". The manner in which this word is used involves two completely different concepts.
2/ "Likability" (or immediate rapport, charisma, etc., or whatever you choose to call it) *is* a very real human reaction — a type of emotional Rorschach. We make most decisions with true likeability playing a profound role.
3/ However, to make a distinction, the manner in which many of those in the media and elsewhere use the term, "Likeable" ends up taking on a highly misogynistic quality.

As you guys know, I was banned from coaching little league after I was doxed last year. I had lead my son's teams for 12 seasons.

The loss was devastating for both of us.

We used that special time to see each other more, as I am divorced.

Here's an (amazing) update:
First off all, they told me I was banned the night before his 11 year old try out. He didn't get the news until 1030PM that night. It was rough.

But the next day, I took him there and we both held our head's high.

He performed well and was a high draft pick.
Then this year is his 12 year old season. His last and final little league year. The year he has a chance to go to the Little League World Series.

To say that he (and I) were excited for this season is an understatement.

We'd talked about it since he was 5 years old.

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

#PascoSheriff #HaveYouAllNoShame @CigarCityBeer
Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...

I’m an avid history geek 🤓 and I got this idea from @GippersChutzpah!
My follower count is currently stuck in the mid ages. I’ll tweet some Jewish history milestones from along the years, according to my follower count. So come on, I’m 4 followers short of the first story...
On 13/12/1204, Moshe Ben Maimon AKA #Maimonides (Greek) and Ha’Rambam (Hebrew), died at 69 in Egypt.
A Philosopher, Physician, Astronomer and one of most important #Jewish Scholars of all times.
Buried in Tiberias @Israel, upon final request to be buried in the ancient homeland
WOW! 3 followers away from yet another milestone of #JewishHistory!
So far we learned about some pogroms 😠(1171 France, 1190 England) and Maïmōnídēs dying 😢(1204 Egypt).
JewishHistory is filled with sorrow and darkness but it gets better in the 2nd half of the 20th century 😉

It was a Saturday Shoe Polishing Day this late morning. Started at 10am.
First, always make sure the shoe's verandah are brushed and blackened. Keep black, black. Brown, brown. Clear, neutral. It's essential.
Then you layer the leather with shoe wax as thinly as possible. In circular motion until it fades to a blur. Repeat at least 5 more time. Allow it to form a haze, and then take a lint free clothes to wipe it off. My left Florsheim Brogue in light brown uses neutral to keep color

Cú Chulainn is believed to be an incarnation of the god #Lugh, who is also his father! His mother is the mortal Deichtine, sister of Conchobar mac Nessa, the King of #Ulster who ruled from #NavanFort near #Armagh. #CúChulainn #Irishmyths #Irishlegends #FolkloreThursday
Born Sétanta, Cú Chulainn gained his name as a child, after killing Culann's fierce guard-dog in self-defence & offered to take its place until a replacement could be reared! Used a standing stone or by driving a sliotar down its throat with his hurley! #FolkloreThursday
Cathbad the druid announced one day that anyone who drew arms would have everlasting fame! So Cú Chulainn only 7 years old, asked for arms! But Cathbad grieved because he had not finished his prophecy-the warrior who took arms that day would have a short life! #FolkloreThursday
