Response tweet:
This doesn't make me scared that Iran is going to bomb me it makes me scared the US is going to bomb me and blame it on Iran

ANOTHER ANGLE. This man was NOT brandishing a firearm. He was holding his phone. He then put his body between ICE thugs and woman. He was then sprayed with a chemical agent, tackled, disarmed, and executed. Plain as day. DO NOT let them tell you otherwise.

In 2019, motor vehicle crashes cost America $340 billion. Approx 26% of these accidents were caused by speeding (a historic low), which amounts to about $88 billion. Would conservatives be as interested in being as hard on speeding as on illegal immigration? Both are civil infractions.

Just a thought - maybe we should be writing our (Republican) reps about this one: “We got everything done,” he added, “I said, ‘Put it all into one bill and if we get it done, we’re done for four years.’ We don’t need anything more from Congress.” Maybe their self-preservation will kick in.

Article excerpt: When ProPublica emailed questions to Newby’s daughter, the North Carolina Republican Party’s communications director, Matt Mercer, responded, writing that ProPublica was waging a “jihad” against “NC Republicans,” which would “not be met with dignifying any comments whatsoever.” 

“I’m sure you’re aware of our connections with the Trump Administration and I’m sure they would be interested in this matter,” Mercer said in his email. “I would strongly suggest dropping this story.”
