to be fair, by that metric tammy baldwin will be the first queen of the country

 

Yes, fight with each other and ignore Bernie

 

this movie is constantly on HBO right now and I always tune in

 

Bad post

 

Makes you think


You should nominate that candidate

 

There are honest service statutes, and FEC rules that put limits on a lot of these things. They're murky in some weird places and should be stronger. However, delegates can't accept funds or contributions from any corporation, so a cushy job offer would be illegal.

There are limits on what candidates can do, Perkins Coie attorneys Brian Svoboda and David Lazarus wrote in an analysis for the firm. They point out that federal code prohibits candidates from promising appointments or employment "for the purpose of procuring support in his candidacy." Another statute blocks rewards resulting from legislation or congressional action. They also note: "Multiple provisions prohibit individuals from offering cash or things of value in exchange for votes in local and federal elections. And, finally, the campaign finance laws create avenues for identifying and prosecuting unreported or misreported contributions."

Maybe this account should google things before making tweets, cause it's been wrong a lot lately.

 

no I think a compromise would be to get cheeseburger pizza

 

Holy shit lol

 

Next Mom Jeans album cover?

 

Wild to think about how Trump Jr. is gonna lead the country once Ivanka’s regime is over

 

Oh I am here for centrist conspiracy theory twitter.

 

folks I stumbled into a part of twitter that is literally designed to make me angry

I had dinner already, I'm just here waiting for Hannah to come home, and I can't look away.

 

This is the worst part of Twitter I've ever seen. I am ... oh god ... I need another shower.

 

Well at the CNN town hall Biden was just asked what advice he would give to a student who had a studdering problem. He spent at least 15 minutes answering the question.

 

Ok, @David87, be honest, how many of these accounts do you follow.

 

Turn the record player on

 

ratio!

 

My wife and I talk too often about how afraid we are of the inevitable trump dynasty/monarchy that so many red-blooded would be 100% down for

 

lmao

My follow list is actually quite small. BEtween peoples likes and retweets showing up on my timeline, I see most of the shit I'd like to see anyway.


I will say that, while these tweets seem bad, I think HillaryBot twitter is still worse (though I imagine there's a fair amount of crossover)

 

What is hillarybot?

 

I know it would be bad form to just be like “you know, that’d be something I’d like to talk with you guys about privately so that I can save this platform for questions directly related to governing”...

Like that would obviously blow up about how he dismissed a question and is anti-ADA or something

but also wtf 15 mins lol

 

The hardcore Hillary stans (some of which I am def convinced are bot accounts) that still worship HRC like a goddess/hate Bernie with everything in them. There's a section of twitter that really takes it to the next level

 

I call that "donut" twitter. A lot of them have donuts in their usernames.
