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

    John Cornyn says that Brennan Center is left-leaning. Bc the protection of the Constitution and voting is now partisan? @RethinkIntel @LizaGoitein @FaizaPatelBCJ

        Sure sure. I'm just looking for Brennan's statement! (The other orgs he mentioned arguably were more leftist)

        Not wanting children locked in f*cking cages is partisan now. If that doesn't tell you all you need to know about the state of this country, I don't know what will. Republicans are pathetic.

        Keeping the Republican Party from stealing elections by keeping potential Democrats from voting (even if those weren't poor people and minorities and folks who weren't allowed to vote <1964) has a strong leftward bias, by keeping the country from getting yanked hard to the right.

        This is reality: These people believe that only they are the Real Americans. The rest of us just live in their world. This is the core disease afflicting American politics; it is existentially dangerous to the survival of the republic; and it has to be refuted and eradicated.

        Apparently so! Same way folks at McCain’s funeral who spoke about American ideals and what real patriotism looks like were “attacking Trump.” Pfffft.

        They are very left leaning, and they are advocate restricting political speech through campaign finance laws, despite massive irony inherent in Justice Brennan being author of New York Times v. Sullivan, which was about a negative political ad.

        Outside of a small cadre of Rs and Trumpsters, who cares what @JohnCornyn thinks...he's today's equivalent of #TreasonWeasel. He's all about party over country, enriching himself, and a member of #CocaineMitch's cabal. #RIPGOP

        That what happens when you look at the changing demographics, but still decide to demonize brown people. Only 1/3 of the US supports the GOP at best. Can’t keep serving the rich and packing courts w/o cheating. Not left v right. Up v. Down.

        Because they are. 5 min of research on their site makes his obvious.
