@JohnCleese

I see the MAGA weirdos are already attacking Tim Walz for suggesting that convicted felons should be allowed to vote

Surely that's pretty much the same as allowing them to run for President, isn't it ?

I'm old enough to remember the days when tere were Republicans who had integrity and honor. soldierant Aug 2024 #61

Especially J.K. Rowling. ☹ ShazzieB Aug 2024 #63

So true. And it seemed - and still seems - so out of character. soldierant Aug 2024 #68

There is no integrity or honor.... Think. Again. Aug 2024 #66

I'm not suggesting we ignore it soldierant Aug 2024 #69

Cleese hates Trump and rightwingers including Musk. This sort of post is nothing new for him. highplainsdem Aug 2024 #8

Cleese hosts a British rightwing radio show and bashes Trans people. Think. Again. Aug 2024 #9

Yes, agreed. However, in this tweet, he is correct. GoneOffShore Aug 2024 #11

Why would anyone care if a rightwinger says anything? Think. Again. Aug 2024 #14

Occasionally we all operate on the 'Enemy of my enemy is my friend' and stopped clocks being right twice a day GoneOffShore Aug 2024 #22

Yeah, no, the rightwing is way too dangerous to play around with. Think. Again. Aug 2024 #30

Evidence? Envirogal Aug 2024 #54

Yeah, it's not a good idea to let snakes into your tent no matter how big it is. Think. Again. Aug 2024 #56

That is the network not the content Envirogal Aug 2024 #65

Supporting a rightwing network by participating in their efforts... Think. Again. Aug 2024 #67

I didn't know that. I've posted his tweets here before and got over 200 recs for one last summer: highplainsdem Aug 2024 #12

Probably shouldn't be posting things from rightwing sources. Think. Again. Aug 2024 #15

He isn't rightwing overall. There are lots of people quoted here, and lots of media sources, that agree highplainsdem Aug 2024 #20

Clees is the host of a British rightwing radio show. Think. Again. Aug 2024 #31

I will ask EarlG about this. Sending him.a note now, and I'll delete it if he thinks I should. highplainsdem Aug 2024 #21

FWIW, Cleese is followed on Twitter by a couple dozen of the accounts I follow, all liberal. I don't follow highplainsdem Aug 2024 #25

Yeah, some conmen are good at what they do. Think. Again. Aug 2024 #32

yeah, fuck john cleese WhiskeyGrinder Aug 2024 #18

I've written to EarlG to ask him if he would like me to delete it. highplainsdem Aug 2024 #24

lol why waste his time? do what you want WhiskeyGrinder Aug 2024 #26

I'm asking because it's his board and I'd like his opinion. highplainsdem Aug 2024 #27

trump doesn't need even his own vote. And he won't need anyone elses if he gets back in. erronis Aug 2024 #10

Yeah, there's good reasons the TOS forbids rightwing sources. Think. Again. Aug 2024 #33

A rightwinger wouldn't have posted what Cleese tweeted there, or lots of other liberal tweets of his highplainsdem Aug 2024 #41

Maybe he'll join "republicans for Harris". Think. Again. Aug 2024 #42

Are you opposed to them, too? You wouldn't want any of them quoted here - no matter how much highplainsdem Aug 2024 #44

I love that they're doing that! Think. Again. Aug 2024 #45

I think people in prison should be allowed to vote. They're still citizens. ... aggiesal Aug 2024 #29

I agree. Think. Again. Aug 2024 #34

Yeah. Unless maybe their felony was voter fraud. thesquanderer Aug 2024 #50

If Trump the felon can run for president, all felons should be able to vote. nt TBF Aug 2024 #35

That is what I've been saying all along. Denying felons the vote is big in the South. Martin68 Aug 2024 #43

Of course. Another way to surpress the vote of (disproportionately) black people. n/t thesquanderer Aug 2024 #49

Exactly! That's the whole point. Martin68 Aug 2024 #53
