    Lots of new followers, so it's time to re-up my favorite public service announcement: D.C. is a "shall issue" concealed carry jurisdiction! It's true! It's neither cheap nor remotely convenient to obtain, but jump through the hoops and you WILL get one!

    It’s a powerful moment to see Venezuela's rightful leader, interim President , recognized during the . Prayers for the Venezuelan people in their efforts to free themselves of the tyrannical Maduro regime.

    Stop what you’re doing and read this article about being a “lady lawyer” by Lisa Blatt.

    I'd laugh about it. Probably tweet about laughing about it. And then I'd laugh even harder at any complete numbskull who thinks *funny twitter slip ups* are what voters should really consider when electing public officials. And then I'd tweet about THAT. So the same thing.

    "Many times, one side’s appeal to a higher law is another side’s accusation that the rule of law has been betrayed...Threats of non-compliance should be based on well-reasoned and principled appeals that will withstand the judgment of our descendants."

    I said I would address the chants of "we will not comply," and I meant it. "'We will not comply' is neither an undemocratic threat nor an un-American resolve. It is a long-standing part of democratic discourse."

    STAHP. IT. Look, 90% of Americans outside of Kansas/Missouri probably have no idea which side the Chiefs play on, just like most don't know the New York Giants play in New Jersey. Every Chiefs fan I know is a Kansan. It's a funny mistake. Take a deep breath, ya'll.

    (3) It also *protects the right* of Americans who hold such political views to keep and bear arms...including in self-defense. (4) If a socialist shoots you in self-defense because you physically attacked him/her, I'm cheering on the socialist and the Second Amendment.

    Oh, dear... (1) Having read and re-read the Constitution, I can confirm it does not give anyone the right to summarily execute socialists. (2) In fact, it explicitly *protects the right* of any American to hold and publicly profess socialist views.

    I will consider a Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl win to be tantamount to a Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl win. It's only fair.

    But again, this is an absurd line of reasoning. There...isn't a Confederacy and voting for/again a motion in an impeachment trial that has nothing to do with slavery...has nothing to do with slavery.

    Of the remaining 19 that ARE Republicans, one is a black man and two are sons of Cuban immigrants. Moreover, I count at least 14 GOP Senators from Union states. The majority represent either Union states or states that entered after the war.

    This is still objectively wrong. Again, only 11 states seceded. There can only be a maximum of 22 total senators representing former Confederate states. VA has two democrats. Alabama has one.

    None of those Dems broke ranks. Worse, of the remaining 19 GOP Senators in these states, one is a black man and two are sons of Cuban immigrants. If you're gonna drive down this dumb of a road, at least have the right map.

    This is a silly line of reasoning to begin with, but he just made these numbers up. 11 states seceded, meaning that only a MAXIMUM of 22 Senators can represent former Confederate states. Meanwhile, VA is represented by two Democrats and AL is split with Doug Jones.

    Given that only 11 states seceded from the Union, it would be sort of astounding if they were currently represented by more than 22 Senators. How did you count 13? Please, please tell me, , that you don't think your native Kentucky was a Confederate state.
