Relevant tonight. Liz Cheney: โ€œI say this to my Republican colleagues who are defending the indefensible. There will come a day when Donald Trump is gone, but your dishonor will remain.โ€

.@RachelFintwit This pretty much sums up Trump. I'm also shocked that 1/3 of my fellow citizens think he is great.
โ€œWhy do some British people dislike Donald Trump?โ€ Nate White, an eloquent and witty English writer, gave this magnificent answer: Trump lacks certain qualities that the British traditionally value. He has no nobility, no charm, no composure, no gravitas, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour, and no grace โ€” qualities with which, strangely enough, his predecessor, Mr Obama, was abundantly blessed. Although Trump may be ridiculous, he has never said anything ironic, amusing, or even remotely funny โ€” not once, ever. I do not mean this rhetorically. I mean it literally: never. To the British, a lack of humour is almost inhuman. But with Trump, it is a fact. He does not even seem to understand what a joke is. To him, a joke is a crude remark, an illiterate insult, an act of casual cruelty. Trump is like a troll: he never laughs or enjoys himself; he merely squeals with delight or derision. And the most frightening thing is that he does not merely utter crude and stupid insults: he actually means them. His mind is nothing more than a robotic algorithm of petty prejudices and instinctive malice. There is no irony in him, no complexity, no subtlety, no depth. Everything is superficial. What we see is a man without an inner world, without a soul. In Britain, we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are courageous underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither courageous nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite. He is not even merely a spoiled rich boy or a greedy fat cat. He is more like a giant white slug, a privileged Jabba the Hutt. And, worse still, he is a bully. When he finds himself among other bullies, he suddenly becomes a whining lackey. He punches down โ€” something a gentleman should never, could never, and must never do โ€” and every blow he delivers is below the belt. He particularly enjoys attacking the vulnerable or the voiceless, and he kicks them when they are down. That is why the fact that a substantial minority โ€” perhaps a third โ€” of Americans watch what he does, listen to what he says, and then think, โ€œYes, he seems like my kind of guy,โ€ is a source of bewilderment and profound distress to the British. After all, it is impossible to read a single tweet of his or hear him utter a sentence or two without staring into the abyss. He turns shallowness into an art form. He is the Picasso of pettiness, the Shakespeare of shit. His flaws are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on to infinity. There have always been stupid people in the world, and villains have never been in short supply either. But rarely has stupidity been so evil, or evil so stupid. He makes Nixon seem trustworthy and George W. Bush seem intelligent. If Frankenstein had decided to create a monster composed entirely of human flaws, he would have created Trump, and the remorseful Dr Frankenstein would have cried out in despair, โ€œMy God, what have I created?โ€ If an idiot were a television show, Trump would be the entire set.

.@dhmccain Another great play in an LSU matchup. He was one of our greatest receivers.

.@dhmccain I had forgotten about this other 5 interception game in 1994. Were you at this game?
1994 LSU vs Auburn The Interception Game One of the most improbable wins in Auburn history as the Tigers were trailing 23-9 in the 4th qtr before intercepting 5 LSU passes & returning 3 for TDs leading AU to a 30-26 win in 1 of the greatest defensive performances in SEC history

.@Jeopardy The champ made the dumbest bet ever and it cost him the game. He had $18,200 and another had $9,100. I thought he would bet $1 to would win if both got it. Both did but the champ bet $0. They had a runoff, the other guy buzzed in first and won the game. Craziest game.

.@BeckyRWeis I plan to get my contribution in once I get a better handle on my state tax liability for this year. Hopefully by mid-November.

Well deserved, hope Becky is selected.

.@RachelFintwit @taxtweet Dr. Annie Andrews is very impressive and photogenic. I think she has a great chance to be elected senator from SC. She running against a really weak candidate in Darlene Graham. Her only advantage is being Lindsey's sister. youtu.be/AKeSdj5caKU?is=_3LCโ€ฆ

.@SenKatieBritt This bill is the wrong approach, permanent standard time is better for everyone's health and the safety of school children catching the bus in the winter.
๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ๐ŸšจToday the U.S. House passed the Sunshine Protection Act, advancing legislation that would make Daylight Saving Time permanent nationwide. This is the biggest legislative step this issue has taken in years but it is not law. The bill now moves to the U.S. Senate, where there is still an opportunity for it to be debated, amended, or rejected. If you care about health and circadian biology, this is the time to speak up. The scientific case against permanent DST has become increasingly strong: โ€ข Morning light is the most powerful signal for synchronizing the human circadian clock. โ€ข Permanent DST delays sunrise for much of the year, especially in winter, reducing exposure to morning light when our brains need it most. โ€ข Later sunrises are associated with chronic circadian misalignment, sleep loss, poorer mood, reduced alertness, and increased cardiometabolic risk. โ€ข Studies comparing western versus eastern portions of time zones consistently show worse health outcomes where people experience later sunrises despite sharing the same clock time. โ€ข The American Academy of Sleep Medicine and numerous sleep and circadian experts recommend permanent Standard Time, not permanent DST, as the option that best aligns with human biology. The argument for permanent DST is largely one of convenience and preference for lighter evenings. The argument for permanent Standard Time is one of physiology and public health. If you believe our laws should reflect the best available scientific evidence, now is the time to respectfully contact your U.S. Senators. Tell them that while ending the twice-yearly clock changes is a worthy goal, permanent Daylight Saving Time is not the healthiest solution. Ask them instead to support permanent Standard Time, which preserves the morning light our circadian system depends on. Please REPOST this. The Senate has not yet voted, and informed voices can still make a difference. @LeaderJohnThune is the Senate majority leader that will determine when this legislation comes to the Senate for debate. He should know how you feel.
