@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 6 #61

Especially J.K. Rowling. ☹ ShazzieB Aug 6 #63

So true. And it seemed - and still seems - so out of character. soldierant Aug 7 #68

There is no integrity or honor.... Think. Again. Aug 7 #66

I'm not suggesting we ignore it soldierant Aug 7 #69

We really don't need to know whatever absurd B.S. they're trying to peddle... Think. Again. Aug 7 #70

Cleese hates Trump and rightwingers including Musk. This sort of post is nothing new for him. highplainsdem Aug 6 #8

Cleese hosts a British rightwing radio show and bashes Trans people. Think. Again. Aug 6 #9

Yes, agreed. However, in this tweet, he is correct. GoneOffShore Aug 6 #11

Why would anyone care if a rightwinger says anything? Think. Again. Aug 6 #14

Yeah, no, the rightwing is way too dangerous to play around with. Think. Again. Aug 6 #30

Evidence? Envirogal Aug 6 #54

Yeah, it's not a good idea to let snakes into your tent no matter how big it is. Think. Again. Aug 6 #56

That is the network not the content Envirogal Aug 7 #65

Supporting a rightwing network by participating in their efforts... Think. Again. Aug 7 #67

I didn't know that. I've posted his tweets here before and got over 200 recs for one last summer: highplainsdem Aug 6 #12

Probably shouldn't be posting things from rightwing sources. Think. Again. Aug 6 #15

He isn't rightwing overall. There are lots of people quoted here, and lots of media sources, that agree highplainsdem Aug 6 #20

Clees is the host of a British rightwing radio show. Think. Again. Aug 6 #31

I will ask EarlG about this. Sending him.a note now, and I'll delete it if he thinks I should. highplainsdem Aug 6 #21

FWIW, Cleese is followed on Twitter by a couple dozen of the accounts I follow, all liberal. I don't follow highplainsdem Aug 6 #25

Yeah, some conmen are good at what they do. Think. Again. Aug 6 #32

yeah, fuck john cleese WhiskeyGrinder Aug 6 #18

I've written to EarlG to ask him if he would like me to delete it. highplainsdem Aug 6 #24

lol why waste his time? do what you want WhiskeyGrinder Aug 6 #26

I'm asking because it's his board and I'd like his opinion. highplainsdem Aug 6 #27

trump doesn't need even his own vote. And he won't need anyone elses if he gets back in. erronis Aug 6 #10

Yeah, there's good reasons the TOS forbids rightwing sources. Think. Again. Aug 6 #33

A rightwinger wouldn't have posted what Cleese tweeted there, or lots of other liberal tweets of his highplainsdem Aug 6 #41

Maybe he'll join "republicans for Harris". Think. Again. Aug 6 #42

Are you opposed to them, too? You wouldn't want any of them quoted here - no matter how much highplainsdem Aug 6 #44

I love that they're doing that! Think. Again. Aug 6 #45

I think people in prison should be allowed to vote. They're still citizens. ... aggiesal Aug 6 #29

I agree. Think. Again. Aug 6 #34

Yeah. Unless maybe their felony was voter fraud. thesquanderer Aug 6 #50

If Trump the felon can run for president, all felons should be able to vote. nt TBF Aug 6 #35

Love it. nycbos Aug 6 #36

That is what I've been saying all along. Denying felons the vote is big in the South. Martin68 Aug 6 #43

Of course. Another way to surpress the vote of (disproportionately) black people. n/t thesquanderer Aug 6 #49

Exactly! That's the whole point. Martin68 Aug 6 #53

Oh, John, you have much to learn about the US Warpy Aug 6 #46

There's like 40 states where convicted felons can vote. Iggo Aug 6 #48

Can Trump vote in Florida? dlk Aug 6 #52

Good question MoseShrute Aug 6 #55

A presidential candidate who can't vote dlk Aug 6 #60

If Trump was convicted in his home state of Florida, he'd lose his right to vote. patphil Aug 6 #57

I think this should be referred to the "Ministry of Silly Walks." yellowcanine Aug 6 #59
