Twitter trending-hashtag posts (2/18-2/28)

As I do every couple of weeks or so, I thought I'd share my Twitter trending-hashtag posts. These are from February 18th through today, February 28th. Here they are, ordered from the most popular to the least popular (all my tweets can be viewed at this link - https://twitter.com/CraigRozniecki):

1) Rep. Meadows: "I brought a black woman here to dispute your claim that Donald Trump is a racist. I'm not going to let her speak. I'm just going to show her as a prop, because I'm classy like that - and not racist!"

2) I believe in science, facts, and equality. I believe in building bridges, not walls. I believe a government's purpose is to represent and help the people, not themselves. I believe no one is above the law. #ImTheRadicalLeft.

3) Jim Jordan: "Elijah Cummings will always be identified by this hearing!"

...and Jim Jordan will always be identified by letting grown men abuse college boys.

5) Jim Jordan: "We're allowing a man who's lied at least 4 times, 4 times to testify today. That's just wrong! Meanwhile I will nod and smile whenever my hero, the great sexual abuser, fraud, conman - Donald Trump - utters one of his 8,000 alternative facts!"

6) I loved Rep. Meadows' I'm-not-racist defense yesterday, saying, "I have nieces and nephews that are people of color. Not a lot of people know that."

Why? Are you embarrassed by them or something?

Jim Jordan: "We shouldn't be focused on the leader of our country being a racist, a conman, and a cheat. We also shouldn't focus on college boys being abused by their superiors. I'll do time. Pardon me, I yield my time."

10) Rep. Meadows: "Give me one example where Donald Trump showed himself to be a racist! Just one! Just one!"

Cohen: "I have a list here of 9,297 examples of Trump being racist. That's a low estimate. He gets on a roll sometimes & I can't keep up."

23) Yes, #MichaelCohen lied to Congress, but why? Either out of loyalty to Trump or because he was directed to by the "president." So he was either covering for or ordered to commit a crime by Trump. Meanwhile The Donald has told over 8,000 lies since entering office.

24) Rep. Comer: "Was it Donald Trump's fault when you overslept for work on February 15th of 1993? Was it Donald Trump's fault when you were hungover the morning of a college algebra exam? Is it Donald Trump's fault you're so ugly? The defense rests, your honor."

28) Dear GOP:
Hiring, having a friend or family member that's a POC doesn't mean you're not racist. Racists view such individuals as exceptions, not the rule. Until they stop prejudging the plurality based on skin color, they're racist. Period.

- Ordered others to do his dirty work
- Mentality of a 12-year-old
- Republican
- Came after blacks
- Got away with a lot before being found guilty of financial crimes

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...

The difference between "looking" and "checking out"

I may be way off with these numbers, but it's my approximation that at least 75% of individuals whom are involved in a serious relationship feel it's perfectly acceptable to "check out" members of the opposite sex they're not involved with. Meanwhile, approximately 25% either don't feel this is acceptable or aren't sure about the matter. I hadn't thought about this matter for a while, but since I've been dating a woman for about 8 months, the topic has been pondered about some. When reading or hearing others discuss this very issue, I often times hear comments similar to the following: "It's human nature to look." "There's nothing wrong with checking others out. I'm sure he/she does it too!" "It's fine to do it. Just don't tell your boyfriend/girlfriend about it or do it in front of them!" "It's natural to find people attractive." When observing the array of comments, I i...
