I don't want to give any clicks to his twitter account. DBoon Jan 2020 #1
Should I ask? Do I care? ... Oh, hell, ok. WHY DOES HE REGRET supporting Trump, now of all times? hlthe2b Jan 2020 #2
He doesn't give a reason, AFAIK NewJeffCT Jan 2020 #4

I'm assuming he isn't rich, since he has no marketable skills.

Professional troll and xenophobe aren't true occupations.

hearing the word "unprecedented" on the daily opinion shows has almost become a drinking game. The orange goon has effed up all other aspects of life in America. A draft is right around the corner.

Then he can have a really YUGE military parade.

The draft was a disaster. Not just politically but militarily as the troops drafted were not nearly as well-trained. It's a big reason there were so many causalities in Vietnam.

was my response to Spencer when he was attacking Josh Marshall of Talking Points memo almost 3 years ago...

after Spencer said it's the really the Left that is violent and posted a GIF of him getting punched, my response was "That's not a punch, it's an Alternative Hug"

(this was not long after Kellyanne Conway introduced us to the term Alternative Facts)

I've found if you can respond right after a celebrity/politician tweets (within a couple of minutes, at most), you are much more likely to get a response and a lot of likes fairly quickly - Glenn Kirschner (MSNBC legal analyst, former federal prosecutor) is great that way - I've gotten several responses from him over the past year or so.

speak out on this issue, it's pretty that all of these guys are hardcore isolationists, and this criticism of Trump certainly is not coming from any place of "moral clarity".

must listen to him because he hasn't disappeared, so good for a potential hit at Trump's Nazi support.
