I’m tiring of taking you off every time you email me AGAIN so unless you are in love with me or have some other sort of sick obsession with me (sorry, I’m straight as an arrow) you should probably stop emailing me so that you don’t keep getting put back on the list.

So if you send him an email, it auto-subscribes you to his mailing list? Wow that is pretty annoying.

Also typical for a dude like him to be all weird with the I'M STRAIGHT comment.

I'm actually not all that surprised at the idea of getting auto-subscribed when you send an email. I was avoiding the whitehouse.gov petitions because I thought it might put my email on a list, and when I finally did sign a petition I thought really was worth it lo and behold I started getting email from whitehouse.gov. (At least they did include an unsubscribe link, but I do not recall seeing an opt out for email "updates".)

Someone needs to spend 10 minutes in the time-out chair.

Well, Cohn was being horrible, but as an elected official, Nieves really needed to take the high road and not feed the troll. Plus, he's getting no sympathy from me due to his need to inform Cohn how not-gay he is.

Speaking of mailing lists, my work email was somehow added to the mailing list of a Republican Congressman (I'm in his district or something, Idk) and I'm just like WTF IS THIS SHIT.

I get the weirdest shit from Republicans in the mail. My parents, who have actually voted Republican will get fairly normal stuff like "vote for our guy! he's good for business!" whereas I get the stuff like "vote for our guy! He'll stop illegal immigrant gay Muslim abortions!"

Wow, this guy is like a cartoon villain. He's seriously batshit. This isn't the first time he's done totally bizarre things to constituents or employees:

[Sen. Brian Nieves' shameful act wears thin]Before last November, when Brian Nieves was merely a Missouri state representative from Washington, few people in the state Capitol took him very seriously. Yes, he was Republican Party whip, a position with some responsibility to corral votes, but his antics and rhetoric marginalized him even in a House dominated by conservative Republicans

[The rest of the editorial]Really? Mr. Nieves spends most of January through May out of town. It's his job. Legislative travel, when paid for by outside sources, also happens to be a matter of public record. And when he's not in session, Mr. Nieves is very loudly bellowing on a local radio station, making it quite clear to anyone who is listening that he's not home

[lamardeuse]

Wow, this guy is actually a danger to others. And he's carrying concealed. Fucking wonderful.

IKR? He definitely has some serious anger and control issues.
