Stonekettle tweet FTW

@Stonekettle
Forgiveness requires HONEST admission of wrongdoing, SINCERE ATONEMENT for your shitty actions, and PROOF that you have become a better person.

Until then, take your "unity and healing" and fold them until they are all sharp corners and then shove them right up your ass.

They cannot undo that collaboration. Neither can Pence because he bought into the Trump Machine 4 years ago and knows the degree of complicity he bears.

I literally laughed and clapped my hands like a toddler when I read what was on the signs. And the facial expressions--perfection!

Now that they've all been voted out and Democrats are in control, they're calling for "unity". They didn't utter that word for five years, now that's all they talk about.

a little more elegantly....(but I still love me some Stonekettle/Jim Wright):

I take exception to the "shove them right up your ass" though.

On a couple reason. He could have just said shove it, we'd have known the destination. The other is a little broader. A friend used to say, "Pick the spot, you're all ass." when told to "kiss my ass." They can just shove it, anywhere.
