Police say a Florida woman refused orders to drop a piece of concrete before two attempts to Taser her missed and she threw the object at an officer, hitting him in the shoulder.
The woman was then tackled, pepper-sprayed and now faces several charges. https://abcn.ws/2EtzxHS https://t.co/lnVeysbbEx
Hey, um... @Unionhawk? I just removed the suspension for an fbomb earlier. I know we're painfully inconstant for those things but do refrain from language like that. Stuff happens, and not all folks go "eh, did that affect anyone?" and think of a polite talking to as a way to deal with issues.

It's gonna be really weird if we get a new president and they're not Mad Online so mostly everyone stops caring about politics again
“What is amazing to me is that so many people thought that they could go in and pull the wool over Robert Mueller's eyes.” Sen. Doug Jones https://wapo.st/2BbZrM4
At the request of many, I will be reviewing the case of a “U.S. Military hero,” Major Matt Golsteyn, who is charged with murder. He could face the death penalty from our own government after he admitted to killing a Terrorist bomb maker while overseas. @PeteHegseth @FoxNews
> In 2011, Golsteyn took a polygraph test while applying for a job with the CIA. He told interviewers that while on deployment in 2010 he and another soldier took the alleged Taliban suspect off-base, shot him and buried his remains
Just so we're clear here, he admitted multiple times to taking a dude out back and murdering him into a shallow grave. So naturally the President is Concerned and Jacob Wohl wants to give him the medal of honor
They're like "Oh but he was a terrorist bomb maker!" and like, okay? Y'all had him in custody, if that was the case he was already set to be punished, no extrajudicial murder involved!
White House adviser Stephen Miller says on @FaceTheNation the administration believes the Texas Obamacare ruling will be appealed to SCOTUS and that the law will be ruled unconstitutional
DeFazio on climate: "This is the existential threat to the future of the planet."
Insanity.
For comparison, the atmosphere Venus is 96.5% CO2 -- and the planet is still there.
In contrast, Earth's atmosphere is only ~0.04% CO2.

There have been so many great columns and essays about PDP following the reporting that @jaredlholt and I did last week. I especially love Max’s piece, which helps explain why we can’t discuss this controversy without addressing demonetization. http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2018/12/why-pewdiepies-anti-semitic-youtube-jokes-dont-hurt-him.html#comments
@GodEmperorDune Yeah though if he was fired from Twitter for being a "bad manager" who made women feel uncomfortable idk what to do with that information. Unclear whether his death was an intentional suicide or just a drug accident, but
@Unionhawk Yeah, just galaxy brain denialism here by the president, or openly admitting that he too would shoot someone in cold blood which he would in his head but not in reality because he'd be grossed out by the whole blood explosion thing
The owners of Joe’s Stone Crab, Florida's iconic South Beach restaurant, have removed claws as an entree option from fixed menus for large parties, offering Joe’s signature dish only as an appetizer. There are not enough crabs anymore, they say. https://nyti.ms/2CgIiTs
Uhhhhhh I mean I'm gladly not sure about that but his typically Republican environmental policies did help encourage the formation of the red tide that killed the crabs!
