Apparently the call was routed through Worcester, Mass. Yikes.
The Russian bots are having a field day now. "These claims will not be fully investigated, but we will publish a story." lol

Mrs. tif wouldn't like this, but I'd like to see the US ditch prescription drug advertising and leave NZ as the only country allowing that. It would also cut down on annoying TV ads.

Honest question, though it's foolish to ask this...why would that account say anything? Is that it's intended purpose? That's just a puff piece factory, right? It's not like that twitter account represents all republicans...it seems like a lot of spoken out against it (I think? I only casually browse this thread right now)...I wouldn't expect any PR/social media/puff factory to come out and denounce a person who is being subjected to allegations with no...conviction...?
There's a lot of smoke, so I'm assuming that the guy is an F-tard...but why would that individual account hold any meaning in this...? That's a weird angle to take at a glance...but I'm open to how you're framing this...

Twitter is suddenly now irrelevant for communication for a major party? Is that what you are saying? Actually, that is what you are saying.

No...it's not. I thought you might be able to shoo away the fog for a minute to answer something legitimately...I should have known better...apologies all.

The Australian people voted in favor, by 61%, of same sex marriage. The legislature just needs to draft and pass the laws now.
Good for them, they're usually ahead of us on this stuff. They manage to do guns and immigration 'better', at least.

Drop the pathetic partisan routine. They should be strongly condemning Moore though all official channels.No...it's not. I thought you might be able to shoo away the fog for a minute to answer something legitimately...I should have known better...apologies all.

I’m with mikey. Their silence after pushing Gillespie is telling enough for a twitter account that looks like it’s run by one of Hannity’s interns
Edit to add: It would be nice to denounce him, and I don’t doubt that they will but they still don’t have a good strategy for doing that and keeping the seat. And as much as I hate to say it, the people of Alabama deserve to have somebody who holds their values (absent having a thing for kiddies) representing them. A Republican should be in that seat. While we all look at the bigger picture it sucks for the constituency.

In what instance would it ever be appropriate for a man in his early 30's to be in a situation like this with a 14 year-old girl?It doesn't make mention that she didn't want to or gave a sign that she didn't want to get to second base.

This plan is an disaster
This plan is an disaster
In September, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin justified the exclusion of personal services from the tax cut by arguing that other industries, like manufacturing, created jobs. But manufacturing’s share of the economy is only 13 percent, a share that is shrinking because of technology and outsourcing. Meanwhile, the service industry has grown significantly in the last several decades, and now employs about 10 times as many workers.
What’s more, under the House bill, the pass-through rate has a bias for owners of capital over laborers, a choice that is out of step in a world of rising inequality. Passive investors in active businesses would be able to obtain the low rate on all of their income from those businesses, whereas people who work for a living largely would get the low rate for only 30 percent of their business income.
.This new international tax system is a compromise between a territorial system, which would exempt foreign income altogether, and a worldwide system, which would tax all income, foreign or domestic, on basis at the same rate. This quasi-territorial approach would create a system unlike any other in the world today, applying different tax rates depending on where the income is earned.
Faced with a 20 percent rate at home and a 12.5 percent (or less) effective rate on income earned abroad, companies would still be encouraged to move jobs and profits offshore. The Senate plan attempts to deal with this problem, at least in the case of intangible assets, by also granting a 12.5 percent rate on an American company’s domestic intangible income. But as I have argued elsewhere, this plank likely violates our obligations under the World Trade Organization agreementsm because the amount of income that receives the benefit of the lower rate is directly linked to the amount of income from exports, thereby qualifying as an unlawful export subsidy. The W.T.O. has ruled against several similar measures that Congress has passed, and the issue was thought to have been put to rest when Congress repealed the last such measure in 2004. The legal instability surrounding this part of the Senate plan will significantly reduce a company’s ability to rely on it in the future. Accordingly, corporations will continue to locate intellectual property overseas.

I dunno...I wouldn't expect the official GOP Twitter account (or any party's main social media account for that matter) to be condemning like that. Leave it to the individual politicians.
