This is hilarious. Rep. Eric Swalwell referred to "G-d herself" and triggered all these ridiculous, over-the-top reactions about G-d's gender... when gendering G-d is actually a totally reasonable, in-bounds debate in church and synagogue and has been for literally centuries.
He "mocks truth intentionally by misgendering G-d" like... the Hebrew Bible from 2,000 years ago? Or the Episcopal Church from 600 years ago? ncronline.org/news/theology/…
Any learned religious person would hear Swalwell say "G-d herself" and not be surprised at all given that it's actually a robust debate in pretty much every religious community. So if you see someone having a meltdown over it, just know that they are telling on themselves!
(I've heard ultra-Orthodox Jews reference G-d with she/her gender pronouns literally dozens of times throughout my life)
I write about stuff like this a lot: readtangle.com/about

Robinhood is no longer allowing users to do anything but close out their #GME or #AMC positions. Hard to put into words how outrageous that is. This is, much more acutely, the definition of manipulating the market.
I’ve got a newsletter coming out about this moment — and about how it went from silly to deeply serious and political yesterday readtangle.com/about
48 hours ago this was funny. 24 hours ago it become a politicial dividing line, a bit more serious and very interesting. Now it's getting really ugly, and a lot of people are about to be extemely pissed off at how hypocritical the ruling class is

If you don't understand what's happening, let me explain: a bunch of idiots with internet access are fleecing billion dollar hedge fund companies that typically fleece the rest of us. And they're doing it literally by sheer force of numbers bloomberg.com/opinion/articl… #GME #AMC
They are, in no uncertain terms, upending the entire financial market and pulling off the kinda wealth redistribution you might imagine happening in some socialist dystopia. Except they're doing it by beating Wall St at their own game.

It's hilarious
Hey, buzzkillingtons, obviously Wall St is gonna find a way to make some money off this too. Just enjoy the moment for a minute!

1/ I see all you tweeting at me asking about "BLM" and "antifa" and saying "this is what you get." Let me be clear: you are out of your goddamn minds. "BLM" got teargassed and cleared out for throwing water bottles in a park. I've watched NYPD crack skulls for being cursed at.
2/ This isn't happening because Joe Biden didn't condemn George Floyd protests harshly enough in the summer. That's a bullshit hot take. He DID condemn the violence, and amongst millions of participants in those protests, there were actually very few violent incidents.
3/ Despite that, BLM protesters got a violent response across the country. Tear gas, batons, rubber bullets. A freaking grandfather in Buffalo had his head cracked on the pavement cause some clown bulled him over for standing there.

Donald J. Trump has ended America's streak of a peaceful transfer of power. That's it. That's his legacy. He refused to concede, gathered a mob on the day Congress rightfully elected his successor, and then instructed that mob to march to the Capitol and raise hell.
Nothing else he's done — none of the positive or negative — even comes close to holding a candle to this. This is the whole ballgame. He's the president who ended a flawless history of our leaders peacefully transferring power, and he should be disgraced for all time bc of it.
And guess what? @JennaEllisEsq @RudyGiuliani @tedcruz @SidneyPowell1 @LLinWood @HawleyMO all get credit too. They were the primary actors in getting us here, and I will never ever for the rest of my life forget that. I hope they're proud of the legacy they leave behind.
