Twitter trending-hashtag posts (3/12 - 3/25)

As my state is currently in lockdown, due to the Coronavirus, I've been able to have fun with trending hashtags on Twitter more than is typical, over the past couple weeks. Here are my posts, ordered from the most to the least popular (all my tweets can be seen here - https://twitter.com/CraigRozniecki):

1) Dear #SenateRepublicans:

Trickle-down economics was debunked a long time ago.

Sincerely,

The Actual Workers

2) Dems: "Let's make it so more people have health insurance."
GOP: "Death panels!"

Trump: "Let's open the country back up in the midst of a deadly virus, at the risk of people's lives, for the sake of billionaires."
GOP: "Hey, if you die, you die."

3) GOP: "We need to place 99% of the people's lives at risk so we can make our top 1% friends & donors happy!"

Here's just another example of the GOP not being as "pro-life" as they claim. The GOP is as pro-life as Shrek is pro-draining-the-swamp.

4) Did the Surgeon General, who recently said Trump was in better health than him, just tell everyone to not spread misinformation?

5) Mike Pence can't be seen. Bill Barr looks like a hostage who's fallen asleep. Deborah Birx has just broken the record for heavy sighs in a 2-min span. They're all behind lil Donny. If this isn't emblematic of the Trump White House, I don't know what is.

6) Trump really is substituting rallies with these press conferences, isn't he? It sounds like he's repeating the same speech from yesterday.  What a waste of time...

7) 2/26
Trump: "There are just 15 cases & the number is going down. It'll be zero soon. We've got this totally under control."

3/24
Trump: "There are just 46,000 cases & the number is going down. It'll be zero soon. So go back to work!"

8) GOP
- "Tax cuts for the rich will trickle down to everyone else."
- "Corporations are people, my friend."
- "We need to bring people back to work to save the stock market. If people die, so be it."

Remember all this in November.

10) 1) Republicans attempt to pass a #Coronavirus bill for the top 1%.
2) Democrats vote it down, saying we should pass a bill for the other 99%.
3) Republicans start spouting that Democrats voted against 100% of the people.
4) Yes, Republicans believe 1 = 100, b/c, you know, math.

17) Trumpsters' new line of defense: "Things were going great before the virus!"

Things don't work that way. You can't say, "Things were going great for the Titanic before the iceberg!"

It happened. How did Trump respond? Like a fool, which is why we are where we are.

19) Given the Trumpers' main talking point today about wanting to sacrifice the lives of our most vulnerable so the economy doesn't collapse, perhaps Democrats should try harder to woo the votes of the elderly.

Slogan:

"I don't want you to die.
Vote Biden!"

26) Over the past couple days, a handful of people have told me I'm being too hard on the "president," with regard to his #Coronavirus response. Why is he permitted constant excuses for his failures? Why can he take credit for the good times, but dismiss responsibility for the bad?

30) He can only count to "numbers." He thinks the alphabet is a Chinese hoax. He doesn't know his ass from his amygdala. He is the worst president in the world.

He doesn't always speak in word salads, but when he does, he usually says "covfefe."

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...
