You are responsible for the foreseeable consequences of your actions; if you shoot a gun up in the air, you are responsible if it hits someone Twice in five elections, historically-disastrous Republicans won with fewer votes, and a surge in Green Party votes made the difference

Replying to @JonLemire
In Competitive Authoritarian regimes, where elections are free but not fair, the ruling party uses control over things like permits, public spaces, and official vehicles to make it easier for them to campaign and vote and make it harder for the opposition x.com/JonLemire/stat…

Carrying uncovered rifles during a political demonstration should be a federal terrorism offense It is quite clearly a threat of public violence to achieve a political outcome, the definition of terrorism

1) Noem's adult daughter is denied a business license 2) Noem corruptly forces licensing board to give her the license 3) People find out and call out Noam for corruption 4) Noam claims, "The media is trying to destroy my children." The GOP everyone.

Listen I get it. I signed up for this job. But now the media is trying to destroy my children. This story is just another example of the double standard that exists with the media... going after conservatives and their kids while ignoring Liberals #AskTheBigGuy

There should be an organized call from @theDemocrats that #TrumpResign Trump is calling for insurrection against states controlled by political opponents in the middle of a national emergency he declared #DemandTrumpResign

The president’s statements this morning encourage illegal and dangerous acts. He is putting millions of people in danger of contracting COVID-19. His unhinged rantings and calls for people to “liberate” states could also lead to violence. We’ve seen it before. 1/7

The real Mueller Report conclusion has always been: "Plenty of collusion, but we couldn't prove conspiracy because of all the obstruction."

@Harvard_Law should immediately denounce Alan Dershowtiz and rescind his Emeritus status This ahistorical and legally indefensible argument is being offered solely as partisan cover and is an embarrassment to @Harvard and the academic legal community

One thing I can’t wrap my arms around: If Trump had classified documents, why didn’t he give them back? Maybe he thought they were declassified. Maybe he thought it was government overreach. But if, for whatever reason, you have a classified document at home, you give it back.

"I voted against codifying same-sex marriage because Democrats cut prescription drug costs and increased green energy spending," is one swing-state reelection strategy I guess...

Putin calling out the oligarchs as "slaves" of western consciousness Apparently worried enough about them turning on him to start making them a national enemy

Putin: “They are trying to bet on a so-called fifth column, on traitors of the nation, on those who earn money here but live over there. And live there not just in a geographic sense, but in their minds and their consciousness which is that of slaves.”

Seriously, the only reason Conservatives agree to drive on the same side of the road as everyone else is because it was like that before they were born and they don't think to object x.com/toddstarnes/st…

Every time a single American is allegedly killed by a migrant it becomes a national campaign by Republicans that should dictate national policy But every other day we hear of some pastor or cop abusing children and it doesn't affect our political conversation at all

Don't overlook this: Fox News and MAGA are pushing some truly vile smears about Biden's new policy on undocumented spouses of US citizens. Fox/MAGA are linking it to the awful murder of a young Maryland woman, allegedly by a migrant. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/182859…
