@billglahn I remember that the Clintons @HillaryClinton @BillClinton first started Defining Deviancy Down, paving the way for Donald Trump.

Clinton-based #whataboutism is also, unfortunately, known as #precedent.

@RuthMarcus used it best.

@stevesi28838948 @mikepompeo Understood. Both are horrible.

On the other hand, letting asylum seekers stay in USA encourages more people to make the unsafe journey, hiring international criminal human trafficking organizations to guide them across our border.

1/
@stevesi28838948 @mikepompeo People respond to incentives; these unlimited numbers of undocumented foreign citizens abandoning their BIPOC-led home countries are not sustainable.

That’s entirely on the @WHCOS Administration which refuses to acknowledge that poverty has never qualified for US asylum.

2/
@stevesi28838948 @mikepompeo @WHCOS Nor has poverty ever qualified for @UN @Refugees status.

The cynical exploitation and abuse of the asylum system by economic migrants and international criminal human trafficking organizations means it’s going to end, rather soon, unfortunately.

That’s reality.

Yes, ⁦@Scott_Maxwell⁩, #Florida has no law against recruiting “bogus” candidates to ‘run’ for office, nor should it.

Who decides that a lawful candidate is “bogus”?

1/

GOP chairman convicted in election fraud. But he’s the small fish | Commentary orlandosentinel.com/opinion/scott-…
Consider the 2020 #SD39 NPA vanity candidate, a bonafide resident of the district who paid his own filing fee.

Not a crime.

Should #Florida also require media @MiamiHerald @orlandosentinel to cover every candidate?

Who decides?

Sorry, lawful candidates are lawful.

2/
Besides, did media ever ask when did the sainted @JoseJavierJJR’s team first check out the #SD37 NPA mystery candidate’s claimed residence address:

June 12, 2020 filing deadline

July

August

September

October

never?

Perhaps he should have; lazy, right?

Sad !

@PoJoCummings @SIfill_ @Kaepernick7 His actions or inactions are directly opposite of what I think are his stated objectives, starting with police disrespecting Mr. Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, August 9, 2014, while the @MoDemParty @stlcopa was cruising to re-election without opposition.

1/
@PoJoCummings @SIfill_ @Kaepernick7 @MoDemParty @stlcopa In 2018, @WesleyBell4STL challenged the horrible incumbent in the primary and ended his political career.

That only happened because people voted.

I think a public figure has a responsibility to set a good example for the rest of us, even if he’s not an expert on government. 2/
@PoJoCummings @SIfill_ @Kaepernick7 @MoDemParty @stlcopa @WesleyBell4STL Rep. John Lewis:

Register and vote.

People died so you can vote.

I seriously believe that he should register and vote.

Exactly how he votes is private, of course.

The best protest vote is an intentional overvote - fill in all the bubbles.

@RepAOC @AOC, I think it’s time for the pro-choice community to acknowledge that Dobbs is the law of the land, and to amend federal laws accordingly; start with HIPAA.

Let’s be honest:

There will be @GOP officials, family members, big donors, etc., “with problems,” right?

1/
Well, of course they’re going to expect medical professionals to “help them out,” right?

Even though they - or legislators they support - strictly criminalize the exact ‘favors’ they’re requesting, right?

Not to mention covering up statutory rape, right?

You know it.

2/
Well, it’s time to amend HIPAA to remove any protection for hypocrisy.

This can include ‘requests’ to medical professionals to violate state law, or not to report violations of law, or to ignore such a reporting requirement.

No HIPAA protections for hypocrisy.

Thank you.

@KJKnodell @halbritz The head of visas at the State Department, the late Assistant Secretary of State for Consular Affairs Ambassador Mary A. Ryan, received a $15,000 bonus for “outstanding performance” for the 12-month period beginning April 2001.

1/
@KJKnodell @halbritz Twenty of twenty-one highjackers got visas and 19 out of 20 were warmly welcomed to the Union States.

United Flight UA93 had four highjackers; passengers overpowered them and crashed the plane which was targeting the Capitol in Washington DC.

@vermontgmg

@KJKnodell @halbritz @vermontgmg Asked to describe the “outstanding performance,” Spokesman @RABoucher declined comment.

@GoBlueFlorida1 @Leamander1 @TheRickWilson @Disney @nytimes @GovRonDeSantis @RonDeSantisFL @ChristinaPushaw @FloridaGOP @JoeGruters @ChrisMZiegler @flcourts @RepGThompson @FlaDems @Manny_A_Diaz Back in 2018, @FlaDems chose @AndrewGillum over @GwenGraham.

Had they known back then what everyone knows now, perhaps not.

@browarddems didn’t review the draft @BrowardVotes @Brenda4SOE November 2018 General Election ballot early enough.

3/
@GoBlueFlorida1 @Leamander1 @TheRickWilson @Disney @nytimes @GovRonDeSantis @RonDeSantisFL @ChristinaPushaw @FloridaGOP @JoeGruters @ChrisMZiegler @flcourts @RepGThompson @FlaDems @Manny_A_Diaz @AndrewGillum @GwenGraham @browarddems @BrowardVotes @Brenda4SOE Nobody identified - and fixed - the ballot design flaw that caused a significant undervote in the Senate race that @SenBillNelson narrowly lost.

There may have been other problems in Broward County, re the proper password to submit recount results, etc.

Not good.

4/
@GoBlueFlorida1 @Leamander1 @TheRickWilson @Disney @nytimes @GovRonDeSantis @RonDeSantisFL @ChristinaPushaw @FloridaGOP @JoeGruters @ChrisMZiegler @flcourts @RepGThompson @FlaDems @Manny_A_Diaz @AndrewGillum @GwenGraham @browarddems @BrowardVotes @Brenda4SOE @SenBillNelson In January 2019, Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-FL-20) responsibly announced in @washingtonpost his pancreatic cancer diagnosis.

He should not have sought re-election. Perhaps @HouseDemocrats @FlaDems urged him to retire, perhaps not. He ran again.

@Sheila4Congress challenged him.
