@WarnerCrocker Friend of mine in the know worries now that, since one ICE guy managed to find the opening in the costume and shoot gas into it, that this will now deter costuming.

For those of you who follow Marc Elias, he just got a new puppy! "Blue"!

Just adorable. He so deserves this joy.

@SurrealSeal He was so very heartbroken. I hope this helps him heal

@SurrealSeal Always!

Our dog was a puppy in 2018, and he got me through Trump's first term

#Toodles @JDPilley

I have no more time or patience for someone who refuses to respond to the same question 3-4x & instead responds with something we never brought up.

Even after we explained it repeatedly.

You've become a lost cause.

@JDPilley Not really the point though. This is unjust, illegal, and what we feel about Comey is irrelevant

@JDPilley Wait... "Comey doesn't deserve justice"?

So if you disagree with Comey, it's okay to prosecute? That's what Trump is doing. That's okay with you?

I wasn't asking for "empathy," it never entered my head.

But he does deserve justice, as everyone in America does.

@JDPilley Btw:

Via Timothy Snyder just now:

Why do headlines say "norms shattered" when what is meant is "laws broken" or "Constitution violated"?

Not that you weren't right about the legality here, but he seems to suggest otherwise.

@Remittancegirl TY.

@JDPilley You specifically said "Comey doesn’t deserve justice..."

Now your reply is "Where has Comey been denied justice."

We're all addressing your first point, that he doesn't DESERVE justice. Nobody has said he's been denied justice.

By saying he's undeserving of justice is MAGAesque. EVERYONE deserves justice. Even Manson.

So we should just throw people in prison w/o fair trials? Bc some feel they don't "deserve" justice? Wow.

@Remittancegirl Me too.

@JDPilley is apparently incapable of processing simple language.

YOU, JD, said "Comey doesn’t deserve justice..."

Why do you keep going back to someone saying "he won't get justice." Nobody has said that. We're addressing YOUR ORIGINAL COMMENT that he doesn't "deserve" justice.

Why is this so hard for you to address? EVERYONE deserves justice. THAT IS THE ONLY POINT WE'RE MAKING.
