has now become a Twitter activity

and not just a leisurely activity,

a wild scroll of desperation.

@JuliusGoat

@JuliusGoat making some profound statements about Nazis, Neonazis, racism, oppression, and the Alt-Right.  

"Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but because out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism, or convenience, or ignorance, or greed. 

That word is "Nazi." Nobody cares about their motives anymore.

They joined what they joined. They lent their support and their moral approval. And, in so doing, they bound themselves to everything that came after. Who cares any more what particular knot they used in the binding?" @JuliusGoat

@JuliusGoat This is nothing like Nazi times. In Nazi times you had brutal cops executing unarmed civilians with impunity, backed by a corrupt system and an unquestioning pro-fascist public, and ... Hm. Let me start over. @JuliusGoat

I'm now much older and, quite frankly I'm not sure how conservative I am these days compared to where the party might be today. - Dan Quayle

This President is going to lead us out of this recovery. - Dan Quayle

That's the really neat thing about Dan Quayle, as you must have realized from the first moment you looked into those lovely blue eyes: impeachment insurance. - Barbara Ehrenreich

I was known as the chief grave robber of my state. - Dan Quayle Mars is essentially in the same orbit... Mars is somewhat the same distance from the Sun, which is very important. We have seen pictures where there are canals, we believe, and water. If there is water, that means there is oxygen. If oxygen, that means we can breathe. - Dan Quayle  I am a public school graduate. Given the poor state of public schools it is obvious why everybody makes all those jokes about me. - Dan Quayle The other day [the President] said, I know you've had some rough times, and I want to do something that will show the nation what faith that I have in you, in your maturity and sense of responsibility. Would you like a puppy? - Dan Quayle

When you make as many speeches and you talk as much as I do and you get away from the text, it's always a possibility to get a few words tangled here and there. - Dan Quayle 

I am not part of the problem. I am a Republican.  - Dan Quayle

I wake up every morning at nine and grab for the morning paper. Then I look at the obituary page. If my name is not on it, I get up. - Harry Hershfield
