Don't they want their guy to be able to vote for himself? Brainfodder Aug 2024 #4

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

We really don't need to know whatever absurd B.S. they're trying to peddle... Think. Again. Aug 2024 #70

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

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

Love it. nycbos Aug 2024 #36

Now go away or he will taunt you a second time. surfered Aug 2024 #38

Now go away or he will taunt you a second time. surfered Aug 2024 #39

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

Oh, John, you have much to learn about the US Warpy Aug 2024 #46

John Cleese, the gift that keeps on giving. (nt) Paladin Aug 2024 #47

Can Trump vote in Florida? dlk Aug 2024 #52

Good question MoseShrute Aug 2024 #55

A presidential candidate who can't vote dlk Aug 2024 #60

If Trump was convicted in his home state of Florida, he'd lose his right to vote. patphil Aug 2024 #57
