Sarah Burris: Remember the dude who went to one of those pizza places & started shooting off his gun when they told him it would be a 10 min wait?
There's been an increase in police officers being shot. You have to expect that when more ppl have guns. @SarahBurris@RawStory
Sarah Burris: There's case law on this; I don't know why Trump keeps trying. At least Trump is paying his lawyers.
Rick: Is he, though? Paying them?
Sarah: Hopefully they made him pay up front, given his history of not paying. @SarahBurris@RawStory
Sarah Burris: I feel I've spent a lot of time this week, writing about conspiracy theories.
Rick: Did you see the bird conspiracy is back? That there are no birds, they're robots that sit on power lines to recharge?
Sarah: South Park makes fun of these stupid ppl. @SarahBurris
Sarah Burris: At what point does the incitement of violence law kick in? If you're doing a radio show & constantly calling for an uprising...Put the kettle on & get ready for some FBI snuggles. @SarahBurris@RawStory
Sarah Burris: During Trump years, folks either didn't get arrested or they got pardoned. Trump bragged on Fox News that he fired Comey or he wouldn't have been there. That's obstruction of justice--where's the grand jury? @SarahBurris@RawStory
Sarah Burris: Maybe Bill Clinton got the same massage Alan Dershowitz got. We don't know. @SarahBurris@RawStory
Sarah Burris: You saw Lauren Boebert & her boys with a whole bunch of guns. The guns are like $2000 each, plus scopes--maybe $10,000 worth in that photo. @SarahBurris@RawStory
Sarah Burris: I demand an investigation! I had a lot of questions about the burning tree. Fox News said trees are important to Christmas & Hanukkah. I guess people who celebrate Hanukkah have trees? I'm not sure if there were fir trees in Bethlehem. @SarahBurris@RawStory

Vincent Perrone: You would think something like this would never happen but it's been happening at UPS for well over 20 years. Last year I was put in a position where I could do something about it. (con't) @Teamsters@804_local
Vincent Perrone: (con't) UPS browbeats employees, incl mgmt, to donate to United Way b/c it makes UPS look good. I knew this was going on all over the country. (con't) @Teamsters@804_local
Vincent Perrone: (con't) We got an initial group of people who came forward, saying they did not authorize the $ that was being deducted from their paychecks as donations to United Way. Our lawsuit was based off 2019, the first year I was in office. @Teamsters@804_local
Bruce Ledewitz: Rittenhouse went into this, wanting to be a hero, protecting people against lawless elements, but that's not how it turned out. He saw himself as a sort of John Wayne. @BLedewitz
Bruce Ledewitz: There *are* good guys with guns: We call them the police. @BLedewitz
Bruce Ledewitz: The first victim said he was going to kill Rittenhouse, but it's inherently ambiguous. @BLedewitz
Jack Cocchiarella: Justice is slow, especially when things are unprecedented, but eventually these things will happen. I expect these interviews, quotes from what happened on Jan 6 will come out the end of 2022. @JDCocchiarella@ZoomedInPodcast
Jack Cocchiarella: I'm a college student, & I know what a bad presentation looks like. Planning out a coup on Power Point is a bad presentation. @JDCocchiarella@ZoomedInPodcast
Greg Regan: Things are getting better with the supply chain. We can clear the number of containers that are sitting in the yards, but we need to address structural issues that have been decades in the making, such as misclassification of workers. @TTDAFLCIO
Greg Regan: Our system is so driven by quarterly profit margins, but our trucking industry can't be built like that. It needs to be flexible & resilient. @TTDAFLCIO
Greg Regan: When we don't have the manufacturing capabilities here to produce what we need, we're at the mercy of other countries to get what we need. @TTDAFLCIO
Bob Ney: Years ago, we didn't throw anyone off a committee for saying things we didn't agree with. We might have tried to bring a censure resolution to the floor. Why do Dems in the House want to do something to take care of a Repub problem? @bobney
Bob Ney: Let MTG remain on the committees & be a problem. No matter how much you loathe the person's comments, unless they're threatening to kill someone, you can't throw them off a committee. @bobney
Bob Ney: No matter what we were doing, we still had a policy agenda. The lack of policy by the Repubs is not a marker that's being held against Repubs b/c they're sitting back & waiting. It may be held against them next year. @bobney
Sari Beth Rosenberg: I see book burnings all the time. I think that tree that was burning was mistaken for a huge book...just kidding. Where were you when the Fox News possibly-made-in-China tree was burning? @saribethrose@VotersTomorrow
Sari Beth Rosenberg: The right loves to quote MLK, Jr., out of context, but now they're threatening to ban some of his books.
Rick: That's because they read the next sentence.
Sari Beth: It wasn't a fake quote meme they were reading. @saribethrose@VotersTomorrow
Sari Beth Rosenberg: I'm winning! I haven't had a problem with my students wearing masks & I haven't gotten in trouble for teaching about racism.
Rick: My wife just got back from our school board mtg & the anti-maskers were out. @saribethrose@VotersTomorrow
