Rob Reiner knew:

Said it before. I’ll say it again. Joe Biden has accomplished more in his first two years than any President in the last 60. We all need to shout this from the rooftops!

— Rob Reiner (@robreiner) August 3, 2022

Not one Republican in the Senate voted for the most consequential bill to address Climate Change and the lowering of Prescription Drug prices in US history. We have President Biden, Leader Schumer, Speaker Pelosi and the Democrats to thank. Never forget that.

— Rob Reiner (@robreiner) August 7, 2022

Somewhere, Harry Reid is looking down and nodding “Well played, grasshopper. Well played!”

Give props to @SenSchumer He kept at it even after BBB collapsed. He kept his negotiations w Joe Manchin completely secret until the CHIP bill passed, brilliantly outmaneuvering McConnell. He threaded the needle on climate to get Manchin, on taxes to get Sinema. Well done, Chuck!

If voters this November cast their ballots exclusively for the candidates and party that are most likely to help improve their lives there will not be a single Republican elected to the House or Senate.

Moving on, here are tweets that lay down some truth!

It took a few years but the Reform Party is finally destroying the Conservative Party.

Anger had replaced ideology for so many conservative writers. And anger not at injustice but at change.

Sorry but if we let people choose their own gender then what’s next? Something else that’s none of my business and won’t harm me in the slightest? I mean where does it end?

There is no both sides in Ukraine. Russia is wrong. Ukraine is right. End of story

The thing about Nancy Pelosi visiting Taiwan is that eight Republican congressmen spent the Fourth of July in Moscow one day after it was confirmed they meddled in our election.

Now this one — wow, what a thread!

this to be the headline? Might it be that they are trying to run out the clock because there are elections in the CPC & UCP, and what they REALLY don’t want is a country focused on the vast amount of material we should be discussing that reveals what it/2

ever done anything other than scream about supposed rights and freedoms and conduct themselves in a way that made sure others did get sick? And that’s patriotism and love of country? They hooked up together as white supremacists, Yellow Vesters, conspiracy /6

— Heidi Scott 🌻 (@scottheidi576) August 7, 2022

elections. Do Conservatives want us focused on this, rehashing and having serious discourse about this? No! So knowing the centre-left and left will happily distract ourselves responding to their ridiculous chatter about our PM on vacation, they keep /8

fatigue in Canada. I don’t know who they asked & how they asked it, to land on this theory, but it’s nuts. The fatigue in Canada is with Conservatives. This isn’t just a Canadian phenomenon, it’s a global phenomenon. People are sick to death of the /10

We are sick of the Trumps, MAGA, Ultra MAGA, Bannon, Alex Jones, Joe Rogan, Pierre Poilievre, Maxime Bernier, Ezra Lavant, Rebel News, Stephen Harper, Andrew Sheer, Kenney, UPC, CPC, Rex Murphy, Tamara Lich,Pat King, Danielle Smith, Le Pen in France, Orbán/12

we’ve been trying to peacefully live alongside, then, man, you do not understand what’s going on in Canada,& elsewhere, because I can assure you, we’re exhausted from it & we are so, so sick of it. And to think that in Canada, we’d be tired of the one guy /14

— Heidi Scott 🌻 (@scottheidi576) August 7, 2022

of, that Pierre Poilievre looks attractive to us? Hahahaha!! Do you not see how funny this is? It’s bizarre. So have your games where you plant seeds & then pretend you’re just reporting on how every day Canadians think. Bull shit. Bull shit. Bull shit./16

— Heidi Scott 🌻 (@scottheidi576) August 7, 2022

on making sure you never get elected. I’m not distracted; neither are the ppl I know. You aren’t worthy of governing if you use lies & conspiracies to manipulate, if you harbour white supremacist ideology,& if you want to dismantle 🇨🇦 to build a kingdom./fin

On the lighter side, what a sweet story:

The stories in this thread are hysterical:

When an article says “some scientists think” then remember this: I, a scientist, once thought I could fit a whole orange in my mouth. I could, it turns out, get it in there, but I hadn’t given sufficient thought to the reverse operation.

— John Kennedy (@micefearboggis) August 3, 2022

It includes stories like these:

I used to work in a pool bar. I once had to call ab ambulance for someone who got cueball stuck in his mouth for a bet. When paramedics arrived they asked what happened and his friend demonstrated and got one stuck in his mouth

When we first got a shredder at work, my department overlooked it. We watched the finance manager walk purposefully down from upstairs, insert some papers, then turn to us with an expression of dawning horror to ask, ‘Isn’t this the fax machine?’

This is cute, isn’t it:

I don’t normally do political tweets but in these times of hate and divisiveness, I think this is a message we can all get behind.
