    In this case maybe “Eat it, Hogg” is appropriate?

    Mayor 's clarification is that, while YES he did write the tweet, the news ABOUT his tweet was fake. Or, put more simply, “If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't!”

    Isgro also called me "fake news" because I wrote about his tweet that was screenshot by an "anonymous twitter troll." He wouldn't elaborate when asked him what he meant by "fake news."

    The Maine College Republicans want to remind Maine that Paul LePage has been governor for two terms because everyone here is trying so desperately to forget but, dudes, we know, UGH WE KNOW

    We looked all over but couldn’t find Libby Mitchell or Mike Michaud anywhere on this list

    Everyone believes this

    , I was looking for a local bank to switch too but after your politically motivated decision to fire the Republican mayor of Waterville, I’ll be looking elsewhere.

    Somebody could tweet this out saying "Eat it, Isgro" but then right is just keeping the story about Mayor 's crude Twitter history alive ... so maybe when the 24th sponsor drops out?

    TFW you flunk the quiz ... "I MEANT SOCIETAL TRADITION"

    Replying to @ChrisRoy78 @SkowSavingsBank and 3 others
    My tweet clearly distinguished between free speech as a legal right and as a societal tradition. Question: if you were in college today and Ben Shapiro came to speak, would you storm into the room and start shouting him down or otherwise obstruct him from speaking?

    Do you understand what “free speech” actually means? The bank is not the government, so this is not a 1st amend issue. It is about the values the bank has the right to expect from employees. They did the right thing in enforcing a standard of dignity Nick violated.

    Rather that take the L and release even a lukewarm apology, Mayor , with the aid of and Gov. Lepage, are working surprisingly hard to remind Mainers that Republicans prioritize defending bigotry over work on the real issues important to them.

    LePage defends embattled Waterville mayor who lost his job after Twitter comments. via

    If Nick had come out in opposition to banks, then your comparison might hold water.

    the tragedy of The Simpsons is not just that bad episodes now far outnumber the good ones. It's that when called out by a brash smart younger generation, the Simpsons writers exposed themselves as just as fuddy-duddy clueless as George HW Bush did when he called out The Simpsons

    It’s Alan J. Pakula’s birthday. All The President’s Men, Klute & The Parallax View are a superb set of paranoid thrillers that were really about the frayed & cynical 70s. Gordon ‘Prince Of Darkness’ Willis photographed all 3 exquisitely.

    Tweet it,

    I think our beauty as humans is not on the surface but in the story of our epic and constant battle against suffering using love as our only weapon. I hope y’all are having a good day, living life, laughing and smiling because life is too damn short not to.
