It's called checks and balances for a reason, little lady. And that’s how it’s been for 250 years. Don’t take the job if you can’t deal with its limitations. @PressSec

This wanton and unending extermination of the Palestinian people is the only thing we need to be condemning today.

So many hundreds of thousands of words of ink, so many countless hours wasted, explaining how this man was secretly savvy, and it turns out he’s just dumb as a rock, clueless about basic economics, and driven by a malicious paranoia that conniving foreigners are ripping us off

Jill and I are saddened by the passing of Congressman Raúl Grijalva. He will be remembered for tirelessly standing up for working families and protecting our environment. Our prayers are with his family and loved ones.

😂

RT @javannaplummer: Hey Chicago media twitter. My grandmother is missing, and I haven’t heard back from anyone about running a story about…

Hello Everyone, I don’t want people to be sad about my brother. I want them to remember him for the genuine joy and love he brought to people’s lives. He truly cared about people. He called, wrote, and emailed thousands of people throughout his career to offer help. 1/2

I am so pissed I didn’t come up with this

🚨🚨Since you posted Marilyn Monroe, I want to share my favorite story about her (disclaimer: I’m not entirely sure it’s true but it’s always stuck with me) from Amy Greene, the wife of Marilyn’s personal photographer

Tonight alone, Trump: —Confused who he ran against in 2016 —Claimed a February election is in late November —Went on bizarre rants filled with gibberish —Stumbled over and slurred his words —Claimed he passed a law that existed before he was president He is declining rapidly.

Lololol! 😂🤣

Monopoly - I didn't know this! (You'll never look at the game the same way again!) Starting in 1941, an increasing number of British Airmen found themselves as the involuntary guests of the Third Reich, and the Crown was casting about for ways and means to facilitate their escape... Now obviously, one of the most helpful aids to that end is a useful and accurate map, one showing not only where stuff was, but also showing the locations of 'safe houses' where a POW on-the-lam could go for food and shelter. Paper maps had some real drawbacks -- they make a lot of noise when you open and fold them, they wear out rapidly, and if they get wet, they turn into mush. Someone in MI-5 (Similar to America 's OSS) got the idea of printing escape maps on silk. It's durable, can be scrunched-up into tiny wads, and unfolded as many times as needed, and makes no noise whatsoever. At that time, there was only one manufacturer in Great Britain that had perfected the technology of printing on silk, and that was John Waddington, Ltd. When approached by the government, the firm was only too happy to do its bit for the war effort. By pure coincidence, Waddington was also the U.K. Licensee for the popular American board game, Monopoly. As it happened, 'games and pastimes' was a category of item qualified for insertion into 'CARE packages', dispatched by the International Red Cross to prisoners of war. Under the strictest of secrecy, in a securely guarded and inaccessible old workshop on the grounds of Waddington's, a group of sworn-to-secrecy employees began mass-producing escape maps, keyed to each region of Germany or Italy where Allied POW camps were regional system). When processed, these maps could be folded into such tiny dots that they would actually fit inside a Monopoly playing piece. As long as they were at it, the clever workmen at Waddington's also managed to add: 1. A playing token, containing a small magnetic compass 2. A two-part metal file that could easily be screwed together 3. Useful amounts of genuine high-denomination German, Italian, and French currency, hidden within the piles of Monopoly money! British and American air crews were advised, before taking off on their first mission, how to identify a 'rigged' Monopoly set -- by means of a tiny red dot, one cleverly rigged to look like an ordinary printing glitch, located in the corner of the Free Parking square. Of the estimated 35,000 Allied POWS who successfully escaped, an estimated one-third were aided in their flight by the rigged Monopoly sets... Everyone who did so was sworn to secrecy indefinitely, since the British Government might want to use this highly successful ruse in still another, future war. The story wasn't declassified until 2007, when the surviving craftsmen from Waddington's, as well as the firm itself, were finally honored in a public ceremony. It's always nice when you can play that 'Get Out of Jail' Free' card!

Judge Kaplan's words are poignant: Trump lacks the ability to demonstrate any self-control even when admonished by a well-respected federal judge! If a presidential candidate is unwillingly to adhere to our laws and procedures, he is unfit to serve.

Lolol! 😂

The Washington Post is concerned about political consequences and the effects on the institution of marriage. It appears that Democratic women are rejecting Republican suitors for both marriage and dating. They find their views, attitudes, and values abhorrent, and incompatible with someone they’d want to share their life with. As the editors note “The problem with polarization … is that it has effects well beyond the political realm, and these can be difficult to anticipate. One example is the collapse of American marriage. A growing number of young women are discovering that they can’t find suitable male partners. As a whole, men are increasingly struggling with, or suffering from, higher unemployment, lower rates of educational attainment, more drug addiction and deaths of despair, and generally less purpose and direction in their lives. But it’s not just that. There’s a growing ideological divide, too. Since Mr. Trump’s election in 2016, the percentage of single women ages 18-30 who identify as liberal has shot up from slightly over 20 percent to 32 percent. Young men have not followed suit. If anything, they have grown more conservative.” Bottom line is that Liberal Women are just not into MAGA… Seriously who wakes up and says I’d like to date a fake Christian who worships false deities, treats their weapon as a phallic symbol, lacks rationality, and is incapable of self thought. Not to mention racist and misogynistic. Women have a right to be happy and if not marrying MAGA accomplishes that then so be it😂😂😂

How is @RepMTG so dumb?! Do your homework and come prepared, you fucking idiot! And for the love of god, know who runs your federal agencies!

She's f--ing horrible!

A guy in my flight apparently plays the bagpipes. He has a little electric bagpipe he plugs his headphones into and only he can hear. He has been silently (to everyone but himself) ripping his bagpipe for 5 straight hours. I have no choice but to respect this.
