Mark Kelly: "I said something that was pretty simple and non-controversial, and that was that members of the military should follow the law. In response to that, Trump said I should be executed, I should be hanged ... it says a lot more about him than it says about me. I'm not going to be silenced."

Trump: "I have the best numbers for any president in many years. Any president. And I would say if you read it, it's pretty clear I'm not allowed to run. It's too bad."
(Trump's approval rating is currently at a historic low, even for him, so no, his numbers are not the "best")

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?
MIKE JOHNSON: I've not seen them cross the line yet.

I remember meeting with a newspaper editor who thought I might make a good copy editor. "Although copy editors are known to be eccentric," he warned. I realized at the time, that's not really something I'd aspire to; nonetheless, this might be fun to try. And it sorta was, but not overly. 🤔

For the record.
My posts were not even about Kirk directly, but about America's apathy towards political violence, and the coddling of white male shooters and hate peddlers.
I was fired because I mentioned race: white men and violence-- that was my "gross misconduct."

Our silence isn’t empty it’s filled with the truth everyone already sees. Their comments and reactions have already revealed everything, two very different responses in different moments. We’ve read, we’ve seen, and we know you see the truth too.

I know there are people who don’t like the sound of other people chewing. I don’t like the smell of what other people bring for lunch, often enough. Is that a thing? Today’s offense is someone’s soup they went out and bought that smells like a big 🥣 of human sweat. {{{Ugh.}}}
