Today's faux conservative outrage is that VP Harris tweeted "Enjoy the long weekend" on Saturday morning. Thus, in the conservative world, making Memorial Day a light event and ignoring military sacrifices.

Once again in Trump World, there's always a tweet.
...oh, even better. He used Memorial Day two years earlier to celebrate himself. Next tweets will show military reaction....

Tonight’s showing of #QAnonCult posts, will help explain why I do this. These people are dangerous, which is why the FBI considers them a terror threat. They believe anything, nothing can persuade them otherwise, & they crave violence. There are many posts like the one here...1
....in the QAnon world, democrats don’t just have differering political opinions. They are the personification of evil, Satan worshipers who eat children and drink their blood. Huge numbers of American think this. And they believe that Trump is a god capable of anything....
...they also have no doubt in “the Plan” which includes 10 days of darkness where electricity is cut off, military brings back Trump, and Biden (when they don’t say he is a clone) will be imprisoned or, they hope, tortured to turn on the cabal. This violence excites them too...3

This asshole @TuckerCarlson couldnt possibly be this stupid - he is just lying for ratings, even if it kills his deluded followers. MDs report ANY death to VAERS after vaccination, be it six days or six weeks, from a heart attack to cancer to whatever. 245 million doses have...1
...been administered. The total reported deaths sometime after vaccination is .0017% . Anyone who knows basics knows that this is just raw “someone died” data with zero understanding yet of if it has any relation to a vaccine. Also, the vaccination population skewed older... 2
... which means this is a higher death rate. For a standard population cohort, the annual deaths are 869 people per 100,000. Now, take 100mill vaccinated: youd expect 869,000 of them to die in a year because that’s the number that would die out of 100m in a normal year. ...3

The GQP's worst lie is that they're patriots who stand for liberty. Their philosophy has evolved to "I do what i want and you do what I want." Companies cant make them wear a face mask to protect the community, but they can intervene between parents and MDs in care of a child...1
...blocking disinformation spread on a social media platform against the terms of service is an outrageous 1st Amendment violation, but ending the career of a football player silently protesting violence is being a patriot. To them, patriotism is all about songs and flags...
...and words. It has nothing to do with caring about the country, caring about the community. They waive flags screaming about their patriotism while stomping around spreading COVID because they don't give a damn about their fellow Americans. They are the worst kind of citizen...

I never react to a SCOTUS ruling based on the policy outcome, but read the opinions and precedents involved first. And Kavanaugh's opinion in Jones v Mississippi shows *everything* that's wrong with modern conservative justices. They don't even have the balls to admit when...1
...they are simply throwing out/ignoring precedent to get a policy outcome they want. And they *lie* about it so casually. Its indisputable this ruling overrules the standards of Miller v. Alabama & Montgomery v. Louisiana. Indisputable, excerpt for conservative judges who...2
...are willing to assert something demonstrably untrue as being contained in a precedent - or simply twist underlying facts to get what they want. This tactic was started by Scalia at the end of his career, perfected by Alito - the court's most arrogant liar ever - and now...3

That so many in the GOP have fallen into #QAnonCult and spew such delusional conspiracy theories is not too surprising. With the election of Obama, GOP politicans/media were willing to say *anything.* Remember FEMA concentration camps? Jade Helm? Agenda 21? Birtherism? There...1
...are STILL GQPrs out there who believe that a Kenyan Muslim served as president and locked up "patriots" in concentration camps while preparing to launch a war on Texas and outlaw cattle and golf courses. That is the crap these people were fed, day in and day out, for years...2
...then you have the alternate reality - where BLM protests were widely violent (they weren't), where looting was explosive (it wasn't), where Jan 6 rioters were peaceful (they weren't.) Tucker KKKarlson yesterday condemned the Chauvin jury for "ignoring the evidence." Unreal...3

I was viciously criticized when, at indictment, I said the prosecution had overcharged in Trayvon Martin case which would likely result in acquittal. The elements of manslaughter were there, not murder. Now that is widely accepted as the reason Zimmerman got off. Now Fox et al...
...endlessly point to the Zimmerman case as "proof" that these cases often involve whatever name they are calling the black victims that week. That overcharging *set back* the cause of ending this type of racist violence. Trayvon Martin's family never saw justice because of...2
...that overcharging. If the circumstances are ignored, if the rage rightly felt for the unjustified shootings and abuse and false arrests that black people suffer every day is used to say that a case of a justified shooting is one of those, we end up exactly where we did with...
