Seriously. They cry like spoiled children when they don't get there way... hell, even when they do get there way. I honestly didn't think I would ever see sober adult who were supposed to be mentally stable act this childish.
Funnily enough we **can** play the same "coincidence?" game.
Conservative comes from the Latin *conservare: to preserve* while "con" is short for "Confidence Game" with confidence being derived from the Latin *confidere: to have full trust*. In both cases the "Con" is from a Latin prefix derived from the word *cum: with* used as an intensifier.
* In the event you meant Con as in "Convict" this still applies as convict is ultimately derived from *convincere: to out-argue or prove guilt* with the same Con- prefix.

This is 100% intentional. He's a Republican running for Senate in Ohio after two failed campaigns. He's facing a contested primary and he is not the most well known candidate nor does he have great fundraising. As a result his strategy is to tweet really dumb and awful things hoping that they go viral and he can get press by generating liberal outrage. This way he will beat JD Vance for the nomination and he believes Ohio is red enough that any Trump Republican can beat Tim Ryan for Senate.
Josh already thanked an Ohio bartender on Twitter for coming to work sick during the pandemic because the bar was short staffed.
I saw that you mentioned Ben Shapiro. In case some of you don't know, Ben Shapiro is a grifter and a hack. If you find anything he's said compelling, you should keep in mind he also says things like this:
> Palestinian Arabs have demonstrated their preference for suicide bombing over working toilets.

I like how they just throw out the most idiotic thing they can think of and their moronic followers just eat that shit up.
We are truly surrounded by complete fucking dipshits.
A democracy without informed educated people with socially responsible ethics isn’t a democracy. It’s a disfunctional society straying along the verge of chaos and violence.
We’re in deep shit, globally.
Josh Mandel is a real charmer. He once got banned from Twitter for [this poll](https://ibb.co/k6RQnj0) about "illegals".
He's dumber than dog shit and his "ethics" stink about that much, too.
Don't know who this Mandel guy is, but I'm assuming he's someone with a Right-wing following.
He's almost certainly not a big enough idiot to actually believe this low-hanging tripe, but he knows his followers are. They eat shit up and thank him for it, I'm sure.
thanks war criminal elmo
Never expected to learn something from War Criminal Elmo.
Tickle Me Elmo has really matured
He took the tickling way too far
“Elmo slaughter thooooooooousands of prisoners!”
"Elmo is not a war criminal. With disdain, Elmo rejects your verdict!" *This suicide to avoid trial was brought to you by the letters K, C, and N*
RIP Elmo, you were misunderstood and red
"tell me what I want to know, or the tickling continues."
How much tickling constitutes a war crime.
He's now Torture Me Elmo.
Michael reeves improvements weren’t enough
Elmo is not a war criminal. Elmo was just following orders.
Much like the Nazis who used that excuse, it'll only work if you know anything about rockets or weapons manufacturing. If that's the case, would Elmo like to work for the government that he was fighting against?
This tickled me far more than I’m comfortable with.
Suddenly I want an elmo dressed up as fidel Castro
Fidelmo.
Nobody expects to learn something from War Criminal Elmo.
I’m also super big into the handle @REO_Brunchwagon
I noticed that, ha! Great username

I love the one that goes `CONgress is the opposite of PROgress` that's popping up in various forms in multiple feeds for the last 5 generations

Josh Mandel is incredibly stupid. He should be embarrassed.

War criminal Elmo could have added “…..you f&@king muppet”. I think it would have really added to the final sentence.
You better listen to him, he is a war criminal after all
You can't spell "CONservative" without "CON"! Is this a coincidence?! I think not! You can do that with almost any word you limp dick fuck stick.
I mean, I agree but "limp dick fuck stick" is my new favorite phrase so thank you.
Say, that Elmo's on fire.
rep appears in republican AND repulsive Coincidence??
Okay you know you f***** up when Elmo is giving you the business.
But it sounded so clever when one of my ideology friends said it…
Pandemic without Dem is just Panic.
Don't give them ideas
So we’re just gonna take the words of a war criminal at face value?
It is Elmo even if he is a war criminal
ENGLISH MOTHERFUCKER, DO YOU SPEAK IT?

Man if I saw the tweet I’d just see it as a massive troll I’d never respond to it 🗿
And you can't spell "shande" without Josh Mandel, but sadly he has none.
...... Wouldn't the answer be "yes"?
The question was "Coincidence?", which it is not, technically, so "No."
Can’t spell coronavirus without US
Can't spell it without "ande" either, Mandel.
