I don't know why he bothered with a stupid poll like that, he's going to do whatever the hell he wants anyway.

He is a bit of a trap for the GOP, now I think about it.

Chao: Is this the reason you always told your parents you were single? If you wanted a divorce, you could have done it in a less public way! :)

Yahoo News: Mitch McConnell votes against interracial marriages bill despite being in interracial marriage

Republican and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has voted against the Respect for Marriage Act, which includes the protection of interracial marriages, despite being married to former U.S. Secretary for Transportation Elaine Chao, who is Taiwanese American.

McConnell, who was recently re-elected as leader of the Senate GOP on Wednesday, is married to Chao, who previously made history as the first woman of Asian heritage to be elected to a presidential cabinet.

The Respect for Marriage Act was created to repeal the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act, which federally defined marriage between one man and one woman. The bill would require all states to recognize legal marriages where they were performed, regardless of “sex, race, ethnicity, or national origin.”

Following his vote against advancing the legislation, McConnell was criticized on social media by users who pointed to his relationship with Chao.

Oh Dear!

 

From Twitter:Will Oremus @WillOremus

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Musk now says he’ll reinstate Trump after his Twitter poll narrowly supports it.

 

He previously said he wouldn’t make a decision until convening a “content moderation council,” which he then never mentioned again.

Only issue with that is Trump has said he won't return to Twitter. So let's see.

 

Probably convenient for Trump, given he wants to run again - he has his megaphone back 🙄

 

Edit: just checked and @realDonaldTrump is back - looks like his historic tweets are slowly being reinstated too, but all his followers were deleted; he only has about 600k as I write this, but the number is gradually increasing.

Oh yay.

Best comment I have seen re Twitter and Trump (Not on Twitter) is:

 

"Trump has called Twitter Tech Support to Reset his Password as he can't remember it! But the phone hasn't been answered as they all got fired or resigned!"

Only has 1.8 million followers so far. Either it's taking a loooooong time to reinstate the 91 million-odd he had before he was shut down, or these are people that have just readded him in manually.

Well DUH, Musk had to do this to try and get eyeballs back.

 

Problem he is proving to advertisers that twitter is not a brand safe place to advertise on.

 

Worse, a LOT of others will quit twitter.

 

The sooner Musk goes bankrupt and ends up in prison (along with Trump) the better.

I feel for all the poor Twitter employees who have either been laid off, or quit because they simply don't want to work for this clown.

He's being true to form, he's defined his career as being an obstructionist, opposing anything the Democracts do. So this him showing he'll stick to his guns.

 

 

What would have been surprising is if he hadn't opposed it.
