One thing that the balloon crisis showed me was that my Facebook friends list was chalk full of goofballs with high level security clearance
When one of the clueless cultists asked me if I was aware of what was happening I told the brainwashed dupe that apparently I wasn’t privy to the same information that he was getting
When I asked him if he was informed in a Facebook intelligence briefing even some of the other goofballs laughed at that
Some of the goofballs were posting maps showing where missile sites and troop bases were
Why do the Chinese need to send a balloon with goofballs posting stuff like that on social media???
They say one thing and when they get called out for how stupid it is they pretend they meant something else
The goofballs that I know have stopped with the balloon posting at least for now
I can only imagine what the next faux outrage will be
Posting essentially the same words in response to every mention of President Biden shows a callous disregard for anything like sane political discourse, whatever her original intent may have been.
I'm so tired of Republicans posting the most outrageous statements, getting called out on it, then backpedaling with "just kidding" or some other meaningless excuse.
Twitter is indeed a toxic waste dump filled with ill-informed and mean people. It emboldens commenters (many of whom are anonymous cowards) to pontificate about issues they know nothing about. My op-ed in today's Courant, inspired by the social-media "conversations" around the Chinese spy balloon, seems relevant: "If China gathered any actual intel from “Balloongate,” it is this: American discourse on political issues has deteriorated into the equivalent of a shoving match between schoolboys."
I do not know that this would ever come to a recall. The tweeter has some support, if you read her Facebook post about kindness. I do not understand how she couldn’t see how this would turn out.

“Facebook intelligence briefing” is just a brilliant phrase. I may have to use this sometime.
(Yeah. I was just going to steal it and not tell him; you’re a better person than I.)
Lol

My favorite is, "Can't you take a joke?" I actually CAN take a joke, but this wasn't funny.

Thank you so much for this link. And well done, Barth.
Thank you, Susan!
You did what needed to be done. These pathetic Repugnican trolls believe they are above the law.
I also think the CT AG's office needs to be involved in this.
I wonder what the recall laws are for Brookfield because, as they say, the internet is forever.

She's a Republican - they do not care. They are just like monkeys flinging poop. They don't care where it lands.
I cannot imagine any one not seeing this as a threatening tweet. It stuns me that someone could make this OK in their own head.
Great job exposing this fiend!
There were a lot of people involved. A lot. And not just knee-jerk, hairy-legged feminists like me.
Lol
Small victories are still victories.
This is true.
The Chinese were not joking and neither should we.
