Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

    This fella says I didn't utter the word torture for 8 years. So much for ~40% of my work from 2009-2011 and a significant part in the following 5 years.https://twitter.com/siliconshrapnel/status/1024652882409398272 …

    Not one of you had the word “torture” in your mouth for EIGHT YEARS. Now it’s a big deal again. Who is worse, the torturer or the one who turns the whole issue into a cheap political football disconnected from any real moral or ethical charge?

        You're signal-boosting a MAGA troll who thinks Trump is "literally one of the most successful people in the history of humanity, let alone the US." Maybe let him yell into his own tiny void?

        Sorry, in what world is a self made billionaire, entrepreneur, globally recognized TV celebrity, who parlays the above into literally a self funded US Presidential campaign that defeats one of the legends of the Democrat party *not* one of the most successful in history?

        Show me his tax returns and then we'll talk. Until then, he is more accurately described as one of the most accomplished grifters and crooks in human history,

        The answer to his question is that the torturer is much worse than a political hypocrite, not that you are the latter.

        You did say torture more than most and it's sad that because you don't say everything that People agree with you have to defend yourself. Sad! : )

        40% of your work during the Obama administration concerned torture? I can’t speak to that but 40% of your work output and tweets sure didn’t. Obama did essentially nothing on the issue and you nor essentially anyone else called him on it.
