Follow me and I follow back, unless you're a MAGAT. Truth, science & fellow humans. Never forget Jan. 6. Vaxed & boosted mask wearer. I block reality deniers aka MAGAts. A worrier trying to be a warrior. I love penguins. Not going to pay a billionaire to let me speak. Living in Orlando, FL. Oh and I am woke and won't stop giving a crap about the people the right wants to hurt.

@GottaLaff the problem couldn't possibly be the candidate, right?
@Remittancegirl I don't think they are conservative at all. Radical right wingers is the nicest description I have. Nothing conservative about them.
can't wait to read the J6 indictment.

Justice Samuel Alito Took Luxury Fishing Vacation With GOP Billionaire Who Later Had Cases Before the Court
In the years after the undisclosed trip to Alaska, Republican megadonor Paul Singer’s hedge fund has repeatedly had business before the Supreme Court. Alito has never recused himself.
Robert ReichGifts to Supreme Court justices shouldn’t just be “disclosed.” They should be banned, outright. This should not be a radical position.

Ask the cops who were assaulted whether they thought it was a clown show. Tell the jurors who have convicted rioters for seditious conspiracy the same thing.

#BillBarr speaking in Cleveland. CSpan carrying it.
Barr: “The people on the right are not a threat to democracy.The threat is coming from the progressive side.”
Q: Did you feel that way on #Jan6?
Barr: “Yes. I thought Jan6 was a clown show.There was no threat” 1/2
