A rapist. Dishonest. Corrupt. Hateful. Racist. A convicted fraudster. Twice impeached. A fascist. I am sad for our country. And disappointed & bewildered that so many of the people I know & love would support this criminal & what he represents. The next 4yrs won’t be good.

Is this really not how everyone’s brain works?
This is how my brain works. My husband will ask me what I’m thinking of or how I got somewhere & the term we’ve coined is that I’m “skipping rocks.” And my favorite thing is when he asks me to explain the trail and then smiles as I explain each logical step from Lego to lasagna.

Oh crap I left Mrs Field’s Cookies off my cv
NEW: Kamala Harris’s missing “summer job” at McDonald’s job. Her resume and job application a year after graduating college — @FreeBeacon obtained through FOIA — don’t mention it. Neither do either of her books, or either of the biographies on her. @SaysSimonson @ChuckRossDC and @AndrewKerrNC report: freebeacon.com/elections/i-d…

Hip Weird vs. Nazi Weird
“Keep Berkeley Weird.” “Keep Austin Weird.” The democrats have always been the party of the hippies, the druggies, the new-age woo-woo types, the polyamorous types It’s just not sustainable for them to try and use “weird” as a pejorative

I’d argue that “Good Behaviour” in Article III articulates a standard for impeachment that applies to judges that’s different than “high crimes and misdemeanors.” For example, federal judges have been removed for being drunks or making the judiciary look less than impartial.

How about: Neither the government itself nor any government official is immune to civil or criminal liability.
Here’s a simple constitutional amendment: The president is not immune from criminal prosecution.

Random #AppellateTwitter note: I really appreciate briefs that provide a seperate section explaining a technical area - like how an industry works or how a regulatory scheme is structured.

If this is the list, pick Whitmer. But Beshear should be in the mix at least, if not the pick.
Harris' campaign has requested vetting materials from potential VPs, including Cooper (NC), Kelly (AZ), Shapiro (PA), Whitmer (MI), Walz (MN) + Pritzker (IL), according to a person familiar. Beshear told CNN he hasn't been asked to submit info at this point.

Beshear for VP
Can’t be overstated that my deeply religious, conservative, republican parents from eastern Kentucky/Appalachia (dad is a pastor) not only voted for Andy, but filled their yard with his campaign signs

18yo choosing violence
A young woman c.18 just served me in the pub with what looked like 'The Smiths' tattooed on her arm, I asked her and indeed it was 👌. "How did you get into the Smiths?" I asked. "My grandparents used to play them all the time."!
