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

      Wondering why all the people focused on Iranian protestors today haven't given a shit about the 200 protestors arrested during Trump's inauguration & still being prosecuted? Curious.

      All the republicans obsessed with Iranian protesters right to peacefully protest who think it's fine to kill liberal American protesters with cars?

      So you would conflate protests in the US with what's going on in Iran? This is the height of stupidity and distracts from the risks these people are taking to secure their freedom from a theocratic regime.

      Not conflating or minimizing risk. You made that part up. Pointing out that our own authoritarian president doesn't give a shit abt human rights or protest. Cf take a knee.

          Please show me where we are shooting protesters in the streets and then you can make a comparison. Or where women are treated like second class citizens and made to wear hijabs.

          Deborah, here, https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/25/us/charlottesville-protest-police.html?_r=0 … Please apologize to emptywheel. You pro-choice? If not, spare us you're no friend of the 2A.

          So you equate one crazy person hitting someone with a car, that no one condoned or said was ok (he's in jail where he belongs) with people being systematically gunned down by their government. Gotcha.

          Deborah, if he's "crazy," how did he get a weapon and ammo? When was he arrested? You claim you're a conservative, but want gov't forcing birth? "Gotcha."

          Never said I was a conservative, you assumed. Yes I think everyone who kills an innocent person is "crazy" - it certainly isn't normal behavior. And government doesn't force birth - it's not the Handmaid's Tale. I support ALL life because it's the right thing to do.
