I'm going to say some things that may be unpopular
I'm listening to #ElizabethWarren speak & its killing me because I agree with almost everything she says & stands for but at this time I still don't think she will have my vote for President
Heres why..

THREAD👇
I think one of the biggest issues in our country is #WealthInequality & #ClassWarfare & I think its the basis for the #Corruption we've seen ripping our Country apart.
Elizabeth Warren appears to understand this, possibly better than anyone, but I'm not sure that makes her POTUS
In order to win the Presidency we need a fighter
Someone who not only represents our ideals but has a firm grasp on messaging & political strategizing
A leader who can organize others to believe & back their ideas
Warrens demonstrated that if she gets hit she gets back up
but...
We need someone who can hold their own politically against the games the GOP & the BILLIONAIRES use to fight anyone working against their interests & I think Warren got her ass handed to her politically based on HOW she took on Trump RE:the issue of her Native American background
What I kept thinking as I listen to Warren speak is that she gets it
But her lane is in the fight against the 1% & their manipulation of the system to benefit themselves in a way that is killing the 99%...but maybe not as POTUS.
It's early days & she may convince me otherwise...
But the roads long & I think a LOT of these candidates deserve a place in our future Govt
I'm leaning towards Kamala but how amazing would it be if
she was POTUS &
Beto VP
& Warren was SECRETARY OF TREASURY OR COMMERCE?
I just want us to find the BEST person for EACH position
We need to put the BEST candidate up against Trump & the GOP
One who's able to WIN
AND we want to make sure Dems WIN not only the Presidency but a Senate majority
If a Dem wins we want them to appoint strong Cabinet members AND get them through the Senate confirmation process
We've seen the Power of winning Congress. In 2020 we need to
👉WIN POTUS
👉KEEP CONGRESS
👉WIN the Senate
to ensure we have a DEM President w/ the strongest possible Cabinet & ability to change Laws
Warren's convinced me she belongs in our future landscape
I'm just not sure where

Theres LOTS of Mueller clues dropping, specifically a lot of info about Manafort & Kilimnik which Mueller refers to as "to the heart of what the special counsel’s office is investigating”

It feels like we got some pieces of the puzzle so lets try & piece it together

THREAD👇
First of all I'll build on a previous thread I did which I'll attach at the end but heres the gist of it...
Theres a 2006 photo showing Manafort & Kilimnik at a conference table with a very interesting bunch. I question whether this was the start of a Russian "working group"?
Kilimnik was a Russian army veteran who trained at a military language academy known as a feeder school for the intelligence services, Kilimnik worked for Manafort since 2005, when he began serving as a translator for Manafort’s Ukraine operation
Which brings us to the 2006 photo

And who should we believe a Democrat...
or the Republican Sen Richard Burr,
who also happens to have
worked on Trumps campaign in a Sr. Advisory position
& has longtime financial ties to major energy industries
& now says there was no Russian collusion
....hmmm...
let me think🤔
@Morning_Joe @JoeNBC
In a segment discussing Richard Burrs comments Joe said “Chairman Burr obviously, at least I think,has been a straight shooter throughout this investigation”
w/ no reference to Burrs involvement in Trumps Campaign & Transition team
Words & Context MATTER
Minutes later in a segment discussing Manafort giving relevant info to Kilimnik @KenDilanianNBC says why haven’t they charged Manafort?
@morningmika says “its possible they were just friends having tea & he didn’t know he was a Russian”
C’mon Mika we’ve seen the 2006 photo...

Hypocrisy, thy name is GOP

👉So Kamala Harris smoked Pot
👉Yet GOP Matt Gaetz has a DUI & he & Steve King still have jobs

👉Clinton was impeached for lying under oath
👉Trump refuses to speak under oath about working w/ Putin to overthrow our Govt or his various ongoing crimes
👉Al Franken resigned over sexual misconduct allegations
👉Roy Moore was accused of sexual misconduct by 9 women yet Trump endorsed him

👉Clinton was impeached for lying about a BJ
👉At least 13 women accused Trump of sexual assault. There was no investigation & he became POTUS
👉Last summer Jim Jordan was accused of ignoring the sexual abuse of over 100+ wrestlers. To date it hasn't been investigated & he's still a Congressman

👉Based on 2 sexual misconduct allegations that have yet to be investigated, everyones demanding Justin Fairfax's resignation

THREAD. We need to discuss #ElizabethWarren & the Native American identity issue as a new reveal has brought the MAGA trolls & bots out in force. Specifically, a form @washingtonpost found shows she at least once claimed to be Native American in writing. washingtonpost.com/politics/eliza…?
I think the only people who have a true right to speak to this are those of actual Native American tribes. However I want to tell a story of my own in relation to this. Because I think that context matters and I don't believe #ElizabethWarren tended to falsely claim NA identity.
Since I was very little my family has itself on its Native American ancestry. I was told many, many times by multiple people in my family that we had strong Cherokee blood and even could trace our lineage back to several other tribes, including a direct line to Chief Seattle.

Not going to lie, I'm a little surprised at how much I'm looking forward to Elizabeth Warren's 2020 campaign. Wasn't expecting to feel this way.
Warren has made a series of decisions that have given me pause and reason to not support her candidacy as of right now, but she's extremely wonky and I think her presence on the 2020 campaign trail will be a net positive.
I still believe she has work to do regarding the DNA test issue and no, I don't want to hear about how "the Native American community didn't actually think it was a big deal".

There are black people who don't care if non-black people say the N word. That doesn't make it okay.

THREAD: I grew up in the Hasidic enclave of Monsey, (signs were in Hebrew). Im Jewish but not religious, Im culturally Jewish, a concept reformed Jews repeatedly explaine to non Jews. Sadly, part of that is living your life knowing people hate you for simply being Jewish.
Judisum is a culture, and dispite thousands of years to exposure and varying levels of integration into the societies we have lived in, it continues to be a insular culture with a long memory. We have been chased all over the world since biblical times looking for safe havens.
Something I remember from childhood and listening to adults speak is the distinct impression that no matter how much power or influences Jews might have at any given time in any given place that all can be taken away and replaced with hate. One only needs to look at the

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.
