    He beat her by 60 EVs, but let's show some humility with your agenda.

    LOL. Do they realize how ridiculous they sound.

    Poor Ben. Post election Twitter hasn't been much fun for him.

    I'd like to rewrite the whole thing, but sure, I'm willing to abolish the Senate. The filibuster is getting blown up in two months so it won't serve any purpose.

    I really didn't mean for that to sound as condescending as it did. But I grew up in the Midwest and lived on the NC/SC state line for a while (which I'm not even sure counts as DEEP South) and it's...different.

    The history is different. The underlying tension isn't there. It's weird, because when the black or Filipino or even the Mormon people moved to town it was met with wonder. It was like a novelty. I'm not sure that's exactly better, but it's different.

    Having lived in a lot of Midwestern non-south small towns, the first one is a novelty. It isn't until the balance starts to shift a bit too much that things get colorful.

    Two hit the Twin Towers. One hit the Pentagon. The fourth was going to hit either the White House or the Capitol.

    Two possible Washington targets have been discussed: the White House and the Capitol Building. According to the 9/11 Commission Report, Mohamed Atta, the leader of the 9/11 plot and pilot of Flight 11, met with Ramzi Binalshibh in Spain in July, 2001 to receive final instructions conveyed from Osama bin Laden. Binalshibh, coordinator for the 9/11 plot, and now in U.S. custody, said that Atta understood Bin Ladin's interest in striking the White House, but Atta said he thought this target too difficult. Atta explained to Binalshibh his plan to have two of the planes hit the World Trade Center, one fly into the Pentagon, and one hit the Capitol Building. If any pilot could not reach his intended target, Atta said, he was to crash the plane. Statements entered at the Moussaoui hearing in April 2006 also indicate that the Capitol Building was the most-likely target for Flight 93. There is also evidence that the date of the attack was chosen to coincide with the return of both the House and Senate to session after the summer break. However, at least one family member has indicated that she was told by the authorities that the plane was destined for the White House."

    Vigorous jacking off gesture.

    However to give due credit, she did not inform us she had written the tweet in the nude, and attached pictures of her crotch to prove it. Small steps.

    The last two sentences had to be trolling, right?
