Remember when House Republicans fell all over themselves laughing b/c they'd finally repealed the ACA?
Yeah that was awesome. Image
Then they had beers and laughs about it later with donnie in the Rose Garden.
Hilarious how people are gonna die ain't it? Image
That was also the day donnie said, "But hey, I'm president right?" Image
But you know, he's the chosen one so whatever's clever right? Image

<A Quick Thread>
What we have to realize is the @GOP has come to place where they consider rules and laws are things that apply to OTHER people.

I'd like to extrapolate on that for a minute.

1/
And this is no recent development. Think of how Nixon paid no legal price for his law breaking.

Literally hundreds of @GOP Members of Congress have openly flouted laws for generations and ended up with BETTER jobs in the private sector.
2/
The @GOP breaks campaign finance laws before our very eyes.

They steer government money to their coffers.

They sell their influence openly.

And every single time the lesson learned is not only thet they get away with it, their lives are IMPROVED by it.

<A Thread on Our Current State of Affairs>

We used to one community everywhere. All of us. I actually hoped we'd spread that to the world.

But the poltical parties' unending quest to take and keep power, especially the GOP, have destroyed our sense of community.
1/
Where are all the mini democracies we used to depend on daily? Our PTAs, our unions, our (yes) community organizations, our heavily attended town hall meetings?

We no longer listen to each other and instead scream at each other from afar, then wonder how we got here.
2/
For millennia the only thing that has enabled the tasty pink packages that our bodies truly are to survive has been numbers against predators and bad humans. We're inherently social beings for a reason...

So I'd like to take just a minute to break down a couple of attacks trump and his campaign are gonna leverage against the Biden/Harris ticket, and why they won't work. We'll leave aside trump's HISTORIC unpopularity.

 politico.com/news/2020/08/1…
So here we have the most obvious, and tired, attack the GOP has. The old "radical left" argument. They believe in this one b/c they think it does two things: divides the Dems and scares the middle.

They tried this with Obama. How'd that work out?
2/
The second line of attack they'll use is "she'll raise your taxes." Now leaving aside the civics lesson the trump administration has given the US about who ACTUALLY has the power to raise taxes, this one's a loser too. Americans WANT higher taxes on the rich.

Okay you GOTTA read this. Here we have trump's answer when he was asked about college football going ahead this year. It's not the entirety, but it's damn close.

I'll provide the question in the next tweet and his answer will follow.

Seriously, read this it's mind blowing.
1/
"What do you think about college football going ahead this year?"

Trump:
"They want to play football and they know better than anyone else . . . One of the great doctors said these people are so powerful and so strong and not lots of body fat. . . maybe none in some cases..."
2/
"...they’re very healthy people, people don’t realize it’s a tiny percentage of people that get sick and they’re old and it just attacks old people especially old people with some kind of a physical problem, a weight problem..."

Here's hoping that trump's fake school funding threat educates some folks about how our schools actually ARE funded and how that system might be one of the worst examples of systemic racism in our nation.

If you wanna know what I mean, ask and I'll post a 2nd tweet.
Folks asked, so here we go.

Okay this is tiny bit complex so bear with me please.

First off, if anyone doesn't know most schools in the US are primarily funded through property taxes. Property tax levels are determined by the value of the property.
2/
The value of land/house property (hereafter referred to as just "property" for our purposes here) is determined by what's AROUND the property.

Nice houses, parks, freeway access, shopping access, entertainment venues, good schools, low crime, etc, raise property values right?

<a thread re: DACA today>

Those of you that follow me know I'm deep into political philosophy. I take the time to study political arguments and what their logic is.

Today's DACA ruling is a HUGE blow to conservative philosophy, and I'm going to tell y'all why.
1/
One of the core arguments of modern American conservatives is that only the Congress has the power to make law, which seems reasonable right? They say that by changing regulations The Executive effectively makes laws.
2/
Let me tell you why this is a bad faith argument. Congress, through the lawmaking process, introduced another process for regulatory agencies to change their rules, without Congress itself having to make a new law.
