The Madness Continues Week (11/13)

[pesto]

So they doubled the child tax credit to 2000. But all the middle class cuts end in 2026. The corporate cut to 20% is permanent.

This is a really strange thing to tweet over a week after the fact.

ETA: It's pointed out in the comments; he C&P'ed, most likely, but forgot to change the name of the city. Here's the tweet from the day it happened:

ETA#2: And the one from eight hours ago has been deleted.

So many mass shootings you can just copy and paste your condolences from one week to the next. #onlyinamerica

Oh cool. Rush Limbaugh is here to hit us with "Roy Moore was a Democrat when he molested children," sooo.... that changes something about his fitness for office? Fuck outta here.

Apparently Hannity is threatening to pull support from Moore if he can't "satisfactorily" explain the yearbook issue. I guess those sponsors fleeing really hurt.

Wow— that would be amazing if they were able to overthrow Mugabe.

They're saying Mugabe has not been overthrown. That could change, but for now they're keeping him in place. The African reporters I follow on twitter do not see this as a good thing.

Is that because the military (leading the coup) is equally terrifying, or just because a coup, generally is a scary way to usurp power? (Although, when elections aren’t free and fair, and you have a leader who literally starves his political opponents, what are the options?)

I also think the first rule of a coup is you don't tell everyone it's a coup.

I think there are some doubts about whether the military has good intentions, and the chaos created by a coup generally hurts people. Mugabe is deeply hated by the world but he has supporters in Zimbabwe, so if they overthrow him his party loyalists will wreak havok. Which is probably why they're saying he is safe.

Is it wrong that I'm sort of excited about the jibberish explanation that might be forthcoming and Hannity's reaction?

I stared at this chart for several minutes and the HACKED cracked me up too.

I really thought I knew how to read a flow chart, but after seeing these two I'm questioning everything. Nothing makes sense!

You can probably read flow charts just fine. Republicans just don't know how to make them. Because there is no logical basis for the conclusions they're drawing. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I make a lot of flow charts for work and can confidently say none of those would be acceptable or even count as flow charts in my world. I think we would call them "nonsensical pictures".

Well he's back alright.

Apparently troops are on the streets and the American embassy has told residents to shelter in place and is closed.

A lot of people have been saying he would do this. I’m not overly shocked but it will be interesting to see if he enters the race. I think there are 4 others also in the running. 3 of which are women. So that part is awesome. I’m interested to see if he joins.

Everyone do a shot every time Hannity says "patriot".

RE: Moore, someone on CNN floated that Moore should resign and the SoS should run as a write in because everybody loves him.
