This was an unusually good week on Twitter, probably the best since I started my second Twitter account last summer, as I scored multiple "viral tweets" (>1K impressions), including two on, of all, things, an Ann Coulter hashtag. I really don't know why these tweets are more popular than others I write. I did think my critical tweet on John McCain was well-written.
If there's anything stupider than a diehard Trumpkin, it's an idiot "progressive" who sees everything as "racist".

"Civil War"
No, the "progressives" hype the kerfuffle over sore loser Trump as more than it is. Trump was always a self-serving, corrupt bastard. He happens to be the 800-lb. gorilla in the White House. He won't be for much longer, and he'll be done in national politics.

I happen to support term limits, but corruption has more to do with the size and power of the central government.

I believe the public would be served by a cap on non-consecutive terms for any legislative public office, a single term for President and limited-term contracts for judicial appointments. I would expand recall options.

"Term Limits"
You are a liar. Bush v Gore did not decide the election; they did rule that Gore's attempt to cherrypick Dem-controlled precincts to find enough votes to overturn the election was unconstitutional. Bush had won multiple statewide machine-scored recounts, and journalists confirmed

Wow, it turns out "progressives" are ageist over the senior senator from California; I thought the politically correct reject ageism. There are legitimate reasons to prefer limited terms in public office, but with the exception of Obama, voters have voted older people

As a pro-life Catholic, I reject State-sponsored executions. The fact is 5 SCOTUS justices are Catholic: so much for Catholics imposing their moral beliefs on others.

The fact that the private sector, not the public sector, has developed an effective vaccine within months of a pandemic outbreak is a remarkable accomplishment; we need free markets.

"Rick Santorum" was a lackluster incumbent who got his clock cleaned by Casey and became a name as head of the Anybody But Romney movement in 2012; he stood zero chance of beating Obama. He continues to be irrelevant. I think CNN uses him as a token Republican like FNC's Dems.

Congratulations to POTUS-elect Joe Biden. Politically we share nothing beyond a common disdain for Donald Trump. I'm sure Trump will continue to tweet, but his moment has passed.

"Ben Shapiro"
As a libertarian, I have no clue why my favorite senator Rand Paul is pandering to Sore Loser Trump, the least libertarian man to ever occupy the White House. He's losing credibility to the very man who in 2016 claimed to have bought him off by donating to charity.

The most interesting thing I've seen on this thread is finding out some "progressives" are actually getting sanctioned by Twitter over uncivility.

The most amusing thing about this trend is some Russiaphobes are demanding the appointment of a food czar, now that they've managed to throw millions of people out of work with their failed shutdowns.

There's some typical populist outrage that VP Pence and his wife are going to take the newly available COVID-19 vaccine. I think it's far more important that public officials embrace the vaccine in the hopes of promoting and achieving herd immunity ASAP.

The rumor that Trump will refuse to depart the White House on Inauguration Day is amusing. The guy has spent half his time in office going to pep rallies, his Florida estate, and various golf courses.

There is something arbitrary, pretentious, self-serving and divisive about labeling oneself a patriot. Patriotism is not in rooted in collective symbols like in flags, anthems and leaders but in fidelity to our ideals of individual rights and the rule of law

McCain had issues, being an inconsistent conservative, e.g., his support for campaign finance "reform", championing TARP, opposition to tax cuts, and embrace of the military industrial complex. He ran a grossly incompetent 2008 campaign (TARP suspension, Palin).
