I want you to imagine the sort of human being who would be (a) a prosecutor, and (b) close friends with a career criminal, and then (c) be fine with that

And then I want you to imagine Chris Christie
2/ I guess this is my way of saying I don't give a rat's ass what Chris Christie says about anything or anyone and neither should you because his credibility is six feet under
3/ Christie's big push is to separate himself from the scummy miasma that is Trump's milieu without alienating a man he hopes will be a future meal ticket. If you hang around Trump/Giuliani and their ilk you're hanging around men you *know* only pretend to care about rule of law.

(THREAD) To his credit, @AlanDersh likes a spirited debate as much as I do. So here is "Round 2" of our debate on whether Robert Mueller is the most professional, admirable, and successful federal prosecutor of this century thus far—which he is. I hope you'll read on and retweet.
1/ Here, below, is a link to my response to Alan Dershowitz's new—in some cases {*ahem*} quite *disappointingly* "new"—claims. Click the link below to open up a thread with my responses to him. (In a postscript, I'll provide a link to Dershowitz's thread.)
PS/ Here (below) is Alan's thread, which was in response to my first thread addressing him.

In response to my thread disassembling his claim that "Mueller crimes fit into 3 categories: process crimes that occurred after he was appointed; financial crimes unrelated to the Russia investigation; and crimes by non-Americans," @AlanDersh has changed his argument. Do I reply?
2/ For instance, his claim that Bob Mueller's authorizing document indicates that he should acknowledge "core," "secondary," and "not directly related" categories of crimes is *false*. In fact, Mueller's authorization implicitly demands the *opposite*: that all crimes be pursued.
3/ @AlanDersh also falsely says that Mueller's only purpose in conclusively establishing Manafort's and Gates' motives to collude by showing their financial status when they decided to work for Trump for "free" was in fact to "pressure them to provide information against Trump."

I've no problem with people calling for Northam to resign. I'm 100% fine with it. But if you're doing so and *haven't* publicly called for Trump to resign at least *30 times*, including after he called neo-Nazis "fine people" in *2017*, I have *strong* feelings about your values.
2/ This applies, as Gillibrand said, to both "friends and foes." Virginia Republican Party, *fuck you*. And any Democrat who let Trump be racist, anti-Semitic, and misogynistic as hell and *didn't* call for him to resign because you didn't want to seem "partisan," screw you, too.
3/ To put a finer point on it: we already know history will damn this era's GOP for being hypocrites who put party over country or basic decency. But all *Democrats* who call on Northam to resign—which is fine—must *also* be asked if they're currently demanding that Trump resign.

Born & raised in #Fanar #Lebanon, a tiny country in the middle east with a lot to offer. I always had a positive outlook on life maybe because of the culture or values🤷‍♀️.
If you don't know #Lebanon or a #lebanese then you should start mingling 🤣

I grew up surrounded by a loving, joking & tough type of family that always support each other even amidst fighting. You can imaging being 4 kids in different age groups can cause a lot of fights growing up 😂 #siblingsfight #family #VoicesIWS
@IWS_Network
I have my issues🤷‍♀️! I always wanted to prove myself & make my family proud(2nd child). A pressure that was just in my head; they were always proud of us. I wanted to grow up to be a doctor or an army officer like my dad. Let's just say I changed my mind! #VoicesIWS @IWS_Network

#Surrender doesn’t depend on the object, it is a quality that you bring into your #being. To whom you surrender is irrelevant.

Any object will do. You can surrender to a tree, you can surrender to a river, you can surrender to anything, your wife, your husband, your guru.
Even through stones, people have attained because it is not a question at all to what you #surrender.

You surrender, and that brings the whole thing, that opens the door. Surrendering, the effort to surrender brings an opening to you.
If you are open to stone, you become open to the whole existence, because it is only a question of opening. How can you be open to a stone, and not open to a tree?

#b Excellence is overrated, competence is underrated.
Competence is knowing what to do in a situation and how to do it. It is not the same as excellence.
Excellence is dependent on other people, like judges, examiners, teachers, assessors, inspectors, auditors. But we can't control these people and whether they think we're excellent or not.
