@JMShumway This is how 9-year-old girls learn about state senators and sheriffs' deputies. I'm sure the lesson is indelible.

@patriottakes He has "President Donald Trump" embroidered on his shirt. 1. Because he forgets who he is. 2. Because Mar-a-Largo guests forget who he is. 3. Because the laundry doesn't know whose shirt it is.

@michaelharriot 1. Maybe he'll lose the Senate, but SCOTUS is stacked in his favor. Don't forget the Brooks Brothers Riot of 2000. 2. The DOJ will do whatever William Barr wants it to do. 3. He is already using Chad Wolf's amateur army as police. 4. What is Portland if not a practice run?

@GeorgeForth Some of us have always supported trans people since the 1970s when so many of us found ourselves sharing accommodation, hanging out at the same venues and fighting off the same queerbashers. To abandon "trans people" now would make no sense.
