Well, my Twitter stats are up across the board. My biggest "viral" (>1K impressions) tweet rolled off, but a new one today (questioning taxpayer funding of Trump's campaign events) rotated in.

Of course, police departments themselves cannot exempt themselves from responsibility for their employees' misconduct. That means we the taxpayers ultimately pay the price for rogue cops.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 14, 2020
I've probably published over a dozen tweets pushing for abolition of qualified immunity, which basically shields public servants, like cops, from liability for misconduct.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 14, 2020
Whereas I'm embracing Amash's leadership on this issue, we have to acknowledge the 300-lb gorilla, Trump.
My God, you idiotic "progressives" are full of shit. Only a vote for Trump is a vote for Trump. The guy is right: Biden is a train wreck. Your problem is you're stuck with Biden. If you get other registered voters to vote for Biden, you don't need to worry about this guy.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 14, 2020
Jorgensen and the LP are more worthy of your support. But the main point is correct: both Trump and Biden are train wrecks. If they can't motivate others to vote for Biden it's their problem, not yours. You don't owe them your vote.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 14, 2020

The idiocy of progressives knows no bounds.

I wrote what I thought was a great tweet on today's SCOTUS ruling on government discrimination and crickets; not enough readers for a football team on the field. Last week I wrote one on wrestler Jeff Hardy dousing Sheamus with urine, and it got hundreds of views.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 15, 2020
The difference between libertarians and GOP "conservatives". Justin Amash and I separately praised the anti-discrimination SCOTUS ruling today while right-wingers are bitching they can't find LGBT in the Civil Rights Act.

Yes, Pete Rose; no to Bobby Bonds. Rose's infraction occurred after his playing days, and he was the all-time most prolific hitter. He earned it on the field. Bonds was not a home run king until he got on the juice. He knew what he was doing.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 15, 2020
Agreed. He set the all-time World Series hitting record until the mid-60's, in a series he was blamed for throwing. It's a lot easier to strike out than to hit off a major league pitcher.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 15, 2020

Immigration reform has been opposed by one of the Dems' most loyal constituency, organized labor. The Bracero (visiting worker program) ended under JFK/LBJ. Obama helped kill 2007 immigration reform.

Well, give the devil his due. Given Trump's pandering to police groups, I didn't expect him to embrace a national registry of rogue cops. This is a step in the right direction. The hiring of people into public trust should be open— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 16, 2020

Crackpot partisan bullshit. No, Trump is not responsible for COVID-19; no, he's not responsible for state/local shutdowns. Health security and bridges are state, not federal, responsibilities.

If you're wondering what the Congress can do on police behavior, a state/local responsibility, think the power of the purse.
