DeSantis is such a horrible replica of a human.

Officer #Fanone is despised by the #GOP for attempting to protect the #Capitol instead of allowing #insurrectionists to #execute Mike #Pence and Nancy #Pelosi in order to install election loser Donald #Trump as #dictator. Rep. Andrew "normal tourist" #Clyde refused to shake Fanone's hand when Fanone spoke to #Clyde after the attack.

I've befriended a co-worker, L, who is one of those never satisfied with actual work. Yes, it's call center work. Yes, we get the occasional asshole. She got tired of that and moved the the Dispatcher department. Oh, the freedom! Oh, the time between calls!! So wonderful! Catmom, you should come here!! Well, that was the training period. Now she's got all the parts of the job at the same time. And it's miserable!! All the work!! All the calls!! Whine, whine, whine! She wants to quit. I told her that, essentially, I like my job. And good luck finding a job that doesn't suck in KY that pays well over minimum with PTO and benefits. She's a whiny idiot! Just venting.

Pro tip. When you’re texting a co-conspirator about your plot to conceal, cover up, and falsify evidence in order to obstruct justice, do NOT use “shushing” emojis.

(I think Stringer Bell would agree.)

@CivilityFan @Huntn00 @gwensnyder Interesting spin on the reasons for cutting appropriations and increasing tuition. I don’t disagree. I went to Utah St. Univ from 1969-72, then graduated in 1975. Then worked on MA at BYU 1976-78, and PhD at UoAz 1978-82. Didn’t finish either grad degree. Later went back to USU for MEd degree (2006). I’ve taken out no loans, but that would be impossible today. My kids made it thru on scholarships, so no loans.

@Huntn00 @gwensnyder I attended SF State from 1969 to 1971 while Reagan with CA governor. My student loan was for $1500 and besides my college expenses, I also used it to buy a stereo (a record player with an amplifier and AM/FM radio), and covered my rent and food. The students then were demonstrating against the Viet Nam war and for civil rights, which conservatives found appalling. In the years following, they pursued the policies to raise tuition and cut public spending on higher education to cause financial pain to anyone seeking an education because those are the folks whom they know are their enemy.
