Hey @jack did this cross the red line? Unlikely, because it’s a marriage made in hell between Trump and Twitter. Social media has utterly weaponized hate and given an unrepentant racist a platform to aim at us all.
So interesting to see “Progressive” Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all), now loudly. .

So @SenSusanCollins, under your logic, if they found a bloody knife with fingerprints of, say, Rudy Guiliani, on it and a photo of him committing the murder too, after the trial started, you’d would be, like, wow they are sloppy? You really are the very worst of public servants.
