1)All my life the RW has whined about universities being bastions of LW thought & influence. So if this true, where are all these students that should be out in the streets protesting this BS? Where are the leaders like Tom Hayden, Joan Baez, Abbie Hoffman, Daniel Berrigan etc 2) 2 lead the charge against this RW fascist takeover of America that is much more of a danger 2 R republic than the Vietnam War ever was? It's disappointing 2notC the kind of widespread leadership from youth against anti-democratic forces in R society that was displayed in that

@RadioFreeTom 1)I don’t think a bad job interview necessarily disqualifies the applicant & that’s what last night was for Joe. Employers look at prior work history & performance AND the interview & face it some applicants don’t interview well, but do fantastic work on the job & many who ace @RadioFreeTom 2) the interview turn out to be losers in the position. POTUS has to have a vision for America, character & good morals & good judgment; all of which Joe Biden has demonstrated. People need to stop catastrophizing. Yes it was cringe inducing but the last 4 years, though not

1)UNDERSTANDING MAGAs
People need to stop racking their brains to try to understand these MAGA maniacs, and how they could possibly vote for such a despicable person as Trump. It finally dawned on me their real motive.
Let’s face it the GOP hasn’t even really had a real platform 2) for at least the last 2 presidential elections. They truly don’t have what has traditionally been known as a platform. You know, like suggestions for solving problems for the country or ideas for major improvement. They have basically stood for what they’re against. What they

1)#Jinx2 In episode 3 I think: Susan Berman's description of Durst's wife's family & the way she trashed Kathie Durst's reputation to the dude she was talking to was really disgusting. This little spoiled daughter of a gangster so clearly thought she was better than a good woman 2) whose family were working class Irish Catholic firemen. It was so obvious she thought she was somehow superior to Durst's 1st murder victim. When exactly did wealth begin to equate with superiority in human society. B/C in my experience it's the opposite. The wealthy are

@MarkJacob16 1)There was never an authentic liberal media. Media was produced in urban area by people who were mostly college educated & were therefore not as insulated & backward in their thinking as rural populations. Hick from the sticks hated being taught anything so called liberal. Have @MarkJacob16 2) always hated the city slickers who weren't slaving on a farm day & night. Never appreciated anything the libs like FDR brought them like rural electrification. When they finally got their "conserv" channel they've used it to demonize liberals & to spread BS conspiracy

1)I only have one RW friend & only b/c I've known her for long B4 the country became so polarized politically. We try to avoid politics as much as possible b/c there's no way we're gonna see eye to eye on things. Anyone else have this issue with friends? Have racked my brain to 2) understand her authoritarian tendencies & approval of what I considered fascist political ideas to no avail. I think I grew up in an authoritarian home (mostly father) & had no voice at all in the home & this is why I am LW. But I can't account for my RW friend. I do know she

@Crisopera1 1)And honestly the level of fashion the last few years has been pretty bad. I'm old enough to remember the stand out fashions that people like Nicole Kidman, Julette Binoche etc used to wear. A dress that look like someone grabbed a duvet off a bed & wrapped it around them. WTF? @Crisopera1 2) And when did asymmetry in clothing become the only way to design an outfit. One sleeve on a dress doesn't spell creativity to me. Emily Blunt dress was gorgeous but looked like it felt like it fit like a Kevlar flak jacket or body cast, rigid & didn't conform to her body.

@RadioFreeTom 1)People have obligation to continue to inform themselves thru out life, espec in 21st century when events change so rapidly. With internet availability there's no excuse for ignorance or QAnony BS. People believe WHAT THEY WANT TO BELIEVE, not necessarily what IS. Good judgement @RadioFreeTom 2) is what is needed but can it be taught after the formative period of childhood when one's personality is forming? Wackos were around during JFK. Remember TX newspaper w/"mugshot" saying he was wanted for treason (the week he was assassinated in Texass)? He walked N2 their trap

@RepTonyGonzales So you're A-OK voting for an insurrectionist hate-filled POTUS who didn't care if his VP was torn apart by the mob b/c of his "accomplishments". What a laff. Please enumerate them. Would that be when he stole immigrant kids from their parents, caged & lost them? 2) Or all the times he made a fool of himself & America in G-7 summit meetings overseas. When he had love letters from Kim Jong Un? When his buddies were jailed after the Mueller investigation? When he suggested Americans could inject bleach to kill covid virus? When 500,000

1) The thing that you MAGAs don’t seem to get is that once you install your Orange
Blob fascist dictator & destroy our democracy, that won’t be the end of any problems. In a country that has been relatively stable for 250 yrs, once you chuck the Constitution, the likelihood of 2) of constant bloody instability and civil wars is extremely high, and we become like the Roman empire after the fall of the Republic (which had lasted about 500 yrs) with ongoing chaos and civil wars for decades if not hundreds of years. As I recall after the Roman empire

@Dez45346395 @rcwmsn 1)A quite natural response when you're surrounded by blind hatred trying to kill you constantly with IED strapped to terrorists,having your planes & cruise ships hi jacked or being invaded by armies from surrounding countries. A 2 state solution was intended from time of the @Dez45346395 @rcwmsn 2) Brits but Arabs weren't having it, period. Intent was to drive Jews into the sea & wipe them out. They refused to even try peaceful co-existence. Numerous wars they initiated proved that. If U can't see the difference between a culture rooted in European values & those of

1) This is a little experiment. 2) To figure out why something isn't working

@MRIrene @RadioFreeTom 1)Swear to god, my chronic back problems resolved when I began sleeping with tempur-pedic orthopedically correct pillow and bought a Sleep Number bed w/a good mattress pad. Yes I know: expensive. But so were massages & chiropractic care. Been doing well for years. I use a heating @MRIrene @RadioFreeTom 2) pad (a large quality one with good velour cover) when necessary when I get into bed for a few minutes which helps relax those muscles. Over time you will notice a big difference.

1)Always knew there've been deep divisions in American culture from beginning. In many ways the south was like a foreign country to northerners & many of them still act that way to us when we travel there. Very suspicious attitude to non-southern accent. But I honestly never 2) thought I’d see these people & other rural types from red states just flat out buy into fascism and reject our hard won Constitution. And one must ask: in service of what? Because they need to be freer to impose their white supremacy, authoritarian control of women, rejection

1)@MiaFarrow rewatching Finding Ur Roots. So touching re: your paternal grandparents. Life w/o social safety net was so harsh for people in those days. It occurred 2me there probably wasn't anyone available to give her full time nursing care + care for the baby while he worked. 2)His terrible experiences in WWI & premature death were so sad too. I think life in the 19th cent & early 20th was pretty harsh for anyone who wasn't wealthy. My book club read a book re: the 5 victims of Jack the Ripper & learned that although often described as prostitutes

1)I think there were many yrs, probably most in the history of the US when exactly who ran the congress/white house/SCOTUS didn't really matter but amigos that is NO LONGER THE CASE. This country is hanging by a thread over the pit of fascism. Rusty Bowers declines to give Trump 2) the AZ election when Donnie didn't win it & is considered a hero but turns around right after testifying to the corrupt shit Trump wanted him to do & admits he'd vote for him again. Seriously? WTF is wrong with people like him, Bolton etc who say that shit? Like Dems R so fkn

1)I'm am enlisting the assistance of fellow twitter people to solve a mystery. I received this delivered by USPS today & for the life of me I don't know what it is or how it came to me. I didn't order it. It's not the kinda thing anyone would gift U with. It measures about 117 in 2) in length & 7 in wide. It's just a piece of material. Too long 2B a scarf. Made of a gauzy/felty kind of fabric. No info on the package of where it came from except SHIPPING CENTER 1325 Remington Blvd, Bolingbrooke, IL 60490 When I googled the address I found this. Any ideas

@Brimshack 1) How can we consider this a democracy when a gun lobby and nut case macho types who need to own an AR-15 to feel masculine are in charge of gun laws in this country? They are vastly outnumbered by normal people who want reasonable gun control and elimination of the sale of @Brimshack 2) military style weapons. This needs to be a one issue vote. If your senator or congressman won't vote to restrict military style weapons and vote for other reasonable gun control, do not give them your vote. Confront them when they run for office re: their stance. Make

@KrissyR20 @RadioFreeTom 1) I haven’t really followed much of what has transpired in the whole Harry & Meghan relationship/marriage. These so called "royals" purpose in life is to live out an anachronistic tableau vivant of the former glory of the British ruling class. Though the monarchy brings millions @KrissyR20 @RadioFreeTom 2) to the economy from gawker tourists and apparently the UK public are still addicted to their existence, it serves no meaningful purpose in terms of political power. From the outside looking in, it looks like a wretched lifestyle wherein the top level of royalty lives within

1)We ran out of Xmas movies to peruse one nite & on whim watched the 1937 Shirley Temple film Heidi. During the 30s she was 20th Century Fox’s biggest box office draw. A time when not just children watched innocent hopeful films starring a sweet little girl. Hard to imagine what 2)that world was like. The one where children weren’t gunned down in class & 2nd amendment nut cases looked the other way & blocked legislation to help prevent such murders. In 1937 the top grossing film was Snow White & the 7 Dwarves. Yes I know all wasn’t perfect. Jim Crow was

1) @Elise_Jordan The MAGAs U interviewed who thought Jan 6 was just fine: shoulda asked them if they'd be OK with that violent mob just taking over the country & running it. Is that the country they want to live in? The kind of leadership they think will benefit America? Just 2) throw out the Constitution? The critical thinking skills of these folks Joe praises as great neighbors is seriously impaired. How could they ever elect decent people to important offices? The former Hillary voter in striped shirt who said everyone obsessed w/hatred 4 Trump
