I really wish people would stop saying Trump shouldn't be President because he is a "felon."

There are MILLIONS of people with felonies (including me), and we did our time and earned our rights back

Trump should not be POTUS b/c he is a cruel a**hole who doesn't care about anything but himself

Bodycam video contradicts ICE claims in fatal shooting of U.S. citizen Ruben Ray Martinez in Texas Video of last year's fatal shooting of Ruben Ray Martinez obtained by CBS News appears to contradict claims that Martinez was shot by an ICE agent because he "accelerated" and "intentionally ran over"...

DHS claimed "an ICE agent had fired 'defensive shots' into Martinez's vehicle after Martinez 'intentionally ran over' another agent."

But body cam video now "shows that Martinez's vehicle, a blue Ford Fusion, was stationary or going at a very low rate of speed when he was fatally shot."

Starting to think a lot of people don’t know what a primary is.

There is opposition. In November. This was a party primary.

There is democratic opposition in the November election. This was a primary.

Because the Republican Party wouldn’t let the incumbent governor have any inter-party opposition. Most primary elections work that way.

This is the primary. She has opponents in November.

And ready in 10 minutes. So good.

National news predicting Arkansas governor wins the primary… um, she didn’t have any opposition.

Two large pizzas in the front seat of a car. Election night is pizza night even when you haven’t been in a newsroom for 14 years.

Exactly. Twice today I googled someone’s name because it could end in ey or ay, and I didn’t want to get it wrong.

DOJ's recent 6th Circuit filing misspelled:

Voters as “Votors”
Emergency as "Emeregency"
United States as "United Staes"

And, it included a non-party in the caption.

These are the people who want access to your sensitive voting records and who my team fights in court every day.

My editor used to spell my name with an e instead of an i. It got to the point I would hit reply and just type an i and hit send.

Right?! Also, I can’t even understand half the descriptions of 1970s IT lingo.
