That wasn't my reaction at all. I never thought either you or the tweet were dumb. I meant "randomly" from my perspective. I asked for the relation between the tweet and the fb post specifically because I thought I was missing it due to ignorance about what "giving tuesday" is or something.

The issue with this is that anytime you post a link to anything, someone could ask a really dumb obvious question where the answer is obviously within the link you posted. And if they did, wouldn't you assume that they just weren't curious enough about the actual answer to find it for themselves?

Well it wasn't obvious to me, for reasons mentioned. And yeah I wasn't curious enough to find the answer. If I thought simply clicking the link would get me the answer I would have. I thought it needed explanation.

It's funny how Toomey is the only Republican that could win a Senate race in 2022 and yet he's retiring because he knows he'd get primaried by some nutjob

Biden nominating so many high-profile officials from the Obama administration to key posts to undo Trumpā€™s damage is quite poetic.

People who helped shape Obama's Middle East policies are back in the saddle. More bright ideas like arming a little known, rebellious group called ISIS coming up next.

I don't get why they call it the Cuban Missile Crisis. There wasn't even a nuclear war, how is that a crisis

Conveniently left out that those stragglers killed dozens of innocent civilians.

Of course you treat the symptoms, but you have to address the core problems, or else worse symptoms will arise (President Tom Cotton or Josh Hawley). The proposals have been the same, stop feeding corporate america and address income inequality. There's a lot too that obviously.
I think the fears of so-called "competent fascists" Cotton and Hawley may have been a bit exaggerated
