Both H and I have met him at two different times! He is just as great in person, super smart and down to earth. I met him when he visited my work during the Obama administration. Then H met him when he saw him at an airport in DC a few months later. H struck up a conversation with him and got a photo with him and all. He was totally into it.

The BBC just shared this comparison of how you could possibly mistake a tazer for a gun. I didn't realize it was basically a gun. *snip* I can tell you it feels nothing like a gun. The safety mechanism, weight, trigger feel aren't the same at all.

The age/dating discussion is kind of rubbing me the wrong way. I recognize that I am probably projecting, but it's not always predatory when a older guys dates a younger woman.

I didn't say predatory, to be clear. I did, and in this case it is for sure predatory. He was 100% looking for someone he could manipulate. Of course this isn't always the case.

POTUS is excited to finally address a joint session will talk about commitments and priorities, she does not have specifics at this point
What about Afghanistan? POTUS asked for a nonsugar coated report. The threat has become more dispersed around the world so its not centered in Afghanistan. We will monitor with NATO/Allies

I know we’re just discussing, but I really hate the picking apart of the details of every police shooting. The details really aren’t that important, are they? The bottom line is police have the power and immunity to use deadly force on people they’re scared of. I don’t care if she thought the gun was a taser and she made a mistake - she shouldn’t have had a gun or a taser she could use on a young Black man with a misdemeanor for pot possession. The whole system that led to this tragic event is what’s truly fucked and needs to be dismantled.

Fuck tasers too. Zachary Bear Heels was killed using a taser. He should have been given mental health support and instead he was murdered.
Edit: spelling

PDQ but I've had to fire that exact same taser 100s of times for work. I can tell you it feels nothing like a gun. The safety mechanism, weight, trigger feel aren't the same at all. Same. They aren’t all bright yellow tho. Ours were black

Woooow. I was going to buy a 4Runner in a few months. Guess my H and I will be rocking matching Honda Pilots instead. From comments in a retweet. Seriously! And let Toyota know why! I love Toyota but no way

Biden is speaking about the troop withdrawal.
Bin Laden was killed TEN years ago.
we cannot continue the cycle of expanding our military there. He is the fourth president to be dealing with this.
