George Takei  🏳️‍🌈🖖🏽Sep 21, 2023
It seems President Zelenskyy requested an opportunity to address a joint session of Congress, but that worm of a man, Kevin McCarthy, refused him. Kevin has always been a spineless coward, and he deserves every bit of misery coming to him as his own party turns on him.

@georgetakei - This really reinforces my notion that there's no such thing as "good conservatives".

And for those rare exceptions, I'd argue that they've simply mis-categorized themselves.

Conservatism puts ethics dead last and we just can't progress as a species anymore with that.

Alternative take from someone not even liking conservative ideas: There are good conservatives! But they are incredible rare as you let radicals co-opt the term.

@Ooops @georgetakei - I know what you're going for there, and it's very noble.

But unfortunately conservatism by definition has always been problematic.
