Briana Rose Lee is the chair of the Minneapolis DFL.
She tweeted this yesterday.
She spent the next couple hours defending her assertion to a mass of revulsion before, one presumes, Ken Martin cut off her Victory Gin.
Remember all the MNGOP leaders who partied ’til dawn when Paul Wellstone died?
No, you don’t. There were none.
Lee is 37. years old; she’d have been 2 when Ronaldus Magnus left office. She can have no impression what life was really like before Reagan ,so I take most of her opinion with a block of salt.
But I get the impression that Lee is one of those kids who, back in college, read The Gulag Archipelago and thought the NKVD were the good guys.
How dumb was the tweet? After doubling and tripling down that she was never going to do it, the tweet disappeared because it was dumb enough that even Ken Martin had to yank her leash:
But in a statement, DFL Chair Ken Martin said her tweet about Reagan did not “reflect the values of the DFL Party.”
“While there is nothing wrong with debating the policies and legacies of elected officials, mocking the passing of an American president is beyond the pale,” Martin said. “We expect better of leaders within our party, and we will continue holding ourselves to the high standard that Minnesotans deserve.”
Oh, yeah – Senator Jen McEwen, who actually is coming for your guns, agrees:
Gotta feel or Ken Martin: In the past couple years, he’s had to deal with:
- His staffer calling Navy ships “Murder Boats”
- A state representative candidate (who would to on to serve a term in the House) calling for the destruction of Hugo and the murder of its citizens
- Another staffer calling for Republicans to be guillotined
- Two cities destroyed by his voters
- Another staffer trying to go all Sonny Corleone on…a friendly MinnPost reporter
- Another comms staffer with a habit of tweeting like a sixth-grader who stole Mommy’s instagram password
- This.
Turns out there’s some dissent within the DFL’s ranks – between the “The only good Republican is a Dead Republican” set and the “Don’t tell the Hoi-Polloi the whole truth” crowd (read the whole thread), which exposes the full depth of the DFL’s internal squabbling…:
…although don’t get too excited: Democrats, being basically intellectual herd animals, will all fall in line and obey orders come election time.
As Dennis Prager notes, conservatives think leftists are wrong. Leftists think conservatives are evil.
bike, there are a ton of them:
no republcan ever said “southern strategy”
no republican ever said “trickle down economics”
Reagan never said catsup is a vegetable (some REALLY low level flunky at ag did)
Yeah, if Patsy were a Republican that would have been on snl for two years, instead, I had never heard that. What a maroon she is.
Re: ‘Twitter Files’
Twitter wasn’t paid, even once, to remove or censor accounts or posts. I pointed this out to the idiot (Woolly) who posted those allegations at the time. 😂
Musk lied — what a surprise and Woolly latched on and took the ride…
The Secret King is always right
gropey joe wasn’t paid to shower with his young daughter either.
Once again, you must disbelieve any claims by the troll unless he includes a proper citation, especially concerning anything he claims was written by an SITD commenter.
⬆️ Oh. Um. Never-mind: Twitter’s own lawyers refute Elon Musk’s claim that the ‘Twitter Files’ exposed US government censorship
https://www.cnn.com/2023/06/06/tech/twitter-files-lawyers/index.html
/“For months, Twitter owner Elon Musk and his allies [Woolly] have amplified baseless claims that the US government illegally coerced Twitter into censoring a 2020 New York Post article about Hunter Biden. The foundation for those claims rests on the so-called “Twitter Files,” a series of reports by a set of handpicked journalists who, at Musk’s discretion, were given selective access to historical company archives.
Now, though, Twitter’s own lawyers are disputing those claims in a case involving former President Donald Trump — forcefully rejecting any suggestion that the Twitter Files show what Musk and many Republicans assert they contain.”/
MBerg, can you put the troll out of his misery? He’s just shit posting, and they aren’t even entertaining shit posts. He is so far off topic I cannot even tell what he is writing about, seems to be having a paranoid fantasy about Elon Musk censoring him.
⬆️ looking forward your next “Twitter Files” post 😂😂😂
Do facts make your eyes burn troll? It must be so. Taibbi is a long time left winger, so you can’t sweep it under the rug by saying “maga”. Truth is not always a pleasant thing. Well, to a left winger, truth is RARELY a pleasant thing.
Press Silence on Latest Twitter Files Scandal a New Low
Newly released documents clearly show the FBI tried to help Ukrainian intelligence censor Aaron Mate, but the mainstream press continues to show its lack of principle
