Tulsi Gabbard is going on Tucker, amazing

Twitter will start tagging world leaders' tweets that break its rules

> In a blog post, the company said it will place disclaimers on tweets from top government officials or high-profile candidates when they violate any of Twitter's rules, but will not remove the posts when they are in the "public interest."

...

This is seems like the worst option to me. They're leaving up some rule-breaking content, while also deciding to become arbiters of what speech by government officials is in the "public interest".

Yes, it is the dumbest thing possible which given this is Twitter made it the obvious choice

Abe having to give Trump this diagram is just unbelievably sad

@TimStone the glenn greenwald of presidential candidates

@TimStone Replace Twitter with "Eternal 2016"

@Unionhawk Tucker meanwhile tonight was claiming English would soon be illegal after "the two whitest people", Beto O'Rourke and checks notes Cory Booker spoke Spanish in the debate

Very important discourse to get in on

Meanwhile I'm supposed to help Bernie win the debate by donating and I'm pretty sure that's not how this hellscape works

"most searched candidate before and after" is also definitely not how it works either but

Definitely have to avoid Twitter tonight, I cannot physically handle a live tweeting of this

I've got a temporary discord channel muted

After submitting "you could do the other national pastime of this server, hate watching archives of e3 instead"

It is my understanding though before I remembered that that the Bad Mayor brought up the "paying for the college of billionaires' children" line which is pretty fun

Which mayor, the one whose police department shot a guy recently?

I mean

But yes

I can't keep track of how many current or former mayors are in is it just 2?

I think it's just two, excluding the ones that were mayors before being other political things

If you can't do the math on "we will pay for everyone's college, and tax rich people for it" then I can't help you honestly

"buhh I don't want poor people to pay for Don Junior's college which is totally what college for all does"

applause

Dumb

meanwhile in bill de blasio

I will not be watching replays to confirm this, but multiple sources "OH MY GOD"ed at the same time so

I lied I just caught that 17 second clip

fuck yeah

what the hell

ok

Friendship ended with Putin now Mr. Bone Saw is my best friend

@Unionhawk Remember how Seth Moulton didn't qualify for the debate, lmao

Dude I am here for positive vibes and pretending she isn't an antivaxer

🔮🔮🔮🔮🔮

Top 10 epic anime speeches

I want the field to get narrowed to a single debate but include Marianne so that I can more effectively fight the county party chair

The next time he invites everyone on his mailing list to a watch party

@Unionhawk I mean it's hard to argue but I still feel pretty uneasy

Marianne is going to do battle with donald trump on the astral plane

When they go low we ascend to the second level of humanity rendering our enemies powerless

It has been foretold, and tbh, at this point, probably

@Unionhawk what shonen season finale is this? because i can't imagine those words coming from Attack on Titan or One Punch Man

Dragon Ball Super maybe but either a Team4Star dub or the Omni King

Officer traveling with Brazil President Bolsonaro to G20 summit caught with 86 pounds of cocaine

> Rodrigues was reportedly carrying 86 pounds of cocaine that was split up into 37 different blocks. He told local authorities that it was cheese and not drugs.

@Memor-X Okay, if you're going to a foreign summit, why on earth would you bring with you 86 pounds of cheese?

> The Canadian Nationalist Party, which promotes anti-immigrant and anti-LGBTQ views — and calls for the removal of "globalists" from the country "once and for all" — is in the final stages of applying to be able to collect tax-deductible political donations and run a slate of candidates in the upcoming federal election.

> The RCMP say they are consulting hate crime specialists to determine whether Patron's comments in the video contravene criminal laws against advocating genocide or hatred against an identifiable group.

> Elections Canada has given the CNP until July 15 to provide 250 signed declarations from its members to become officially eligible as a federal political party.

@Memor-X tournament of power universe 2 (love did not win), or probably like sailor moon?

@Unionhawk would have to be the former there because quite sure Sailor Moon is shoujo

I don't know probably look I am not an expert

I, for one, am shocked that a racist nazi party would engage in such violence.

lmfao ohio's presidential primary is straight up on saint patrick's day

nice

Today in awful ottawacitizen.com/news/local-news/0628-ncr

@Wipqozn I had been struggling to find the right analytical frame to tackle this but Chuck is here to help me out

@Unionhawk I, uh, thought that was a parody account until I read the comments. Jfc

@Ash yeah

Officer involved in Stonewall raid: "if you think about it actually we helped start pride"

here is the quote in case you run into nyt monthly limit

@Unionhawk ಠ_ಠ

Methodist University Hospital, a """non-profit""" hospital in Tennessee, owns its own collection agency and has been garnishing the wages of thousands of low-income patients for years

> The investigation highlighted the case of Carrie Barrett, who owed $12,109 to Methodist for a two-night stay in 2007 after experiencing shortness of breath and tightness in her chest. Barrett, who has never made more than $12 an hour, has struggled to pay off the debt. Even though the hospital is aware that she is a low-income patient, the hospital sued her in 2010 and has applied interest charges to her debt seven times in amounts ranging from $46 to $7,340. She now owes around $33,000.

> Methodist made $86 million after expenses in 2018 and pays virtually no taxes

@puzzlepiece87 jfc your healthcare system is so fucked

@Wipqozn It really is

@puzzlepiece87 Something something Methodist something something Christianity something something usury

> How Christian of them, shaking down poor sickly people for all they've got. / That's what Jesus would do. / Surprised they haven’t sued him too

@Wipqozn America, where you can subscribe Netflix-style for ambulance service.

@puzzlepiece87 Flipping tables and whipping people: It's What Jesus Would Do.

@Yuuki Haha, well played.

@Unionhawk :|

@Yuuki Ah yes, someone got that quote in:

> ~Exodus 22:25 - "If thou lend money to any of my people that is poor by thee, thou shalt not be to him as an usurer, neither shalt thou lay upon him usury."

Gotta love how history works. Usury is bad -> let the Jews do the loans -> hate Jews because they do loans -> screw the Bible, now we do loans -> but hey, let's still hate Jews.

@Unionhawk lol they deleted it

@Unionhawk Nazi: "if you think about it, we actually helped start Holocaust museums"

@puzzlepiece87 low-income patients, including their own workers. Last year, Methodist University Hospital made $86m in profit.

(I took a religion class that did jesus movies and honestly, this bit from superstar is one of the best)

@Unionhawk That must have been fun to film.

Selfies now five times more deadly than shark attacks

James Fields has been sentenced to life in prison

RIP Heather Heyer

> #LetYangSpeak trends on Twitter after Yang accuses NBC of cutting his mic in debate

God this is going to be a long election cycle

@TimStone this is specifically for federal hate crimes, including 1 count of hate crime acts resulting in death and 28 counts of hate crime acts resulting in bodily injury. He may be sentenced by the commonwealth of virginia later, and they have a guideline of life+419

That is scheduled for July 15

Holy shit this is sociopathic

"Ah, you're awesome, so awesome that we will absolutely not be granting you a visa, now please smile for the photo"

> Trump says war with Iran wouldn’t last very long. He hasn’t read enough history.

Y'all he wants to glass them, come on

His two modes are wanting to be their friend and dropping a nuke on them

> "5 domestic issues more pressing than Green New Deal"

The Hill back on their bs

I went outside today, there is absolutely no more pressing issue

is one of them immigration because that is the conservatives'(?) approach to climate change?

Oddly no, it's pensions, social security, medicare, infrastructure, and budget, which ???

Seeing a trend in those first three where uhhh those people won't have to live in the hellscape 🤔

> Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) said in January, “The world is going to end in 12 years if we don’t address climate change.”

> I certainly don’t argue that climate change is happening, but the more relevant question, on which there is no current consensus, is what can actually be done about it that makes economic sense and that also curbs the practices of the world’s other two largest polluters: India and China.

🤔

"The world is going to end" "Okay but let me do the math on that"

lol Saudi Arabia will host the next G20 summit, amazing

@TimStone My neighbor and I both drive gas-guzzling SUVs so I'm not going to do anything until he buys a Prius.

Also, at least China is investing in electric vehicle and renewable energy development.

Granted, it's so they can corner the market while the US is busy staring at the corner.

But still.

@TimStone I'm sure pensions social security and medicare are all very cool and good love me some entitlement reform thanks bill clinton

@TimStone Oh hey, could we send one of those ecologically-devastating strip-mining companies over to The Hill and turn it into The Hole?

@Unionhawk It's even better than that

> Thomas M. Boyd is a former assistant attorney general, appointed by President Ronald Reagan

Inject it into my veins

Oh yeah even cooler we need to address these things by just finishing what ronald started

(by eliminating htem bc they are COMMUNISM)

(which is bad)

USA! USA!

> @TulsiGabbard: "You can go down a laundry list of things that show that even as much as the policy establishment in Washington claims Saudi Arabia is an ally of the United States... they’re simply not true."

Okay, true, but gestures towards Syria?

I've heard that gaetz is in trouble but only saw it on shareblue so not sure how legit it is

Still about the Cohen tweet thing? Also not surprised he's pressing charges against the milkshaker but still seems pretty pathetic to me

@TimStone yeah, threatening a witness or somesuch

@GodEmperorDune Just Tweet about it and he'll burst into a Congressional hearing to confirm it for you.

@Yuuki OH YEAH

@GodEmperorDune xD

Wait, is Sanders's defense really ageism?

lol ok
