Almost a smart idea. Much smarter to steer Texans to swing states β€”> AZ, GA, MI, NC, NV, PA, WI. That’s how you win where it matters most.

How’s that working out? Still in power last time I checked.

Sorry can’t delete that extra β€œamplify” but perhaps that’s a great metaphor and looks intentional. πŸ™„

The pattern of β€œ[Name] (so many to choose β€”>Trump, Vance, Bondi, Patel, Noem, etc) spews lies. We reached out to [name] for comment” is tiresome, unproductive and needs to change.

Pressing a shameless liar directly is a fool’s errand. That mainly amplifies amplify lies and overworks fact-checkers (for a decade now).

Maybe try completely taking away his oxygen. Seriously, why keep asking for comment when you know you’ll drown in a vomit of BS?

That’s not what he said. He’s awfulβ€”agree on thatβ€”but what he said about fraud / lazy was in reference to the # who would lose Medicaid, not everyone on it. It’s still bad. Twisting the words is an unforced error though.

In 1869, Louisiana granted a legal monopoly to a butchering center in New Orleans. The dispute over whether this grant was mainly motivated by sanitary concerns or by corruption & profit led to a defining moment for #SCOTUS and the 14th Amendment.

Sigh. So depressing and also a natural outcome. Screenwriters don’t write for the masses; only for the gatekeepers and (if lucky) filmmakers. And the gatekeepers don’t like to read β€”> that’s why they’re in film & not publishing.

The #ColfaxMassacre in 1873 Louisiana ranks up with the #TulsaRaceMassacre among the worst incidents of racial violence in US history. And #Colfax directly contributed to #SCOTUS finding another way to rollback the goals of #Reconstruction.

Just to beat this note to death, here’s an example:

Would you rather be β€œa goat” or β€œTHE G.O.A.T?” 🎀 ⬇️

All caps would define the noun to follow as a one-of-a-kind. Not β€œβ€any ol’ β€œA [noun]” but β€œTHE [noun].”
