would be funny to tweet this literally every day like that onion article about school shootings

It's cringe to tweet this once.

It's art to tweet this twice.

Hegel remarks somewhere that all great world-historic facts and personages appear, so to speak, twice. He forgot to add: the first time as cringe, the second time as art.

Preparing the groundwork for greatness but only they know if they will grasp it when the opportunity comes. In the morning.

Throw the line about peace and that tweet can be used for literally everything.

Somehow still better than the sickening shit Sanders said

Michigan has a very large Muslim community, there are about 3 times more people practicing Islam than Judaism there. I think at one point Dearborn had the largest Muslim population in the country. She probably doesn't want to go to far in either direction.

“I am extremely concerned by the growing conflict in Israel and Palestine. Once again we are seeing how the irresponsible actions of government-allied right-wing extremists in Jerusalem can escalate quickly into devastating war. Israeli children should not have to spend the night scared in bomb shelters, as many are doing tonight. Palestinian children should not have to grow up under the constant violence and oppression of occupation, as so many do, and have done. The United States must call for an immediate cease-fire and an end to provocative and illegal settlement activity. And we must also recommit to working with Israelis and Palestinians to finally end this conflict.”> This?

Your link doesn't work for me, still don't really get how this all works? Do you have another link because I remember him saying differently too

[-] CyborgMarx@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

She has to both sides it like this more than the average dem because a ton of Palestinians and other Arabs and Muslims live in Michigan, if she was in another state it would just be I stand with Israel etc.

[-] Tomboys_are_Cute@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago

Thats a very sad response considering her constituency then. Kind of enlightening how much pressure there is from Dem HQ to support the 51st state though considering

Saving this. It reminds me of the time I was at the fiesta bowl parade and one of the cheerleader squads was chanting "Go Team! Beat Them!" Lmao

[-] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 26 points 1 year ago

Staffer who wrote this was in the middle of a coke line when they were told "you gotta put a tweet out about the war," they just had to get something out so they could go back to hitting the slopes.
