1/ THREAD: "Firing a $70,000 missile from a $28,000,000 drone flying at a cost of $3,624 per hour to kill people in the Middle East living on less than $ 1 per day...
2/ We live in a country where if you want to go bomb somebody, there's remarkably little discussion about how much it might cost...
3/ But then when you have a discussion about whether or not we can assist people who are suffering, then suddenly we become very cost-conscious."

1/ THREAD: The only President — Republican or Democrat — to choose a running mate of the opposing party did so at the other time of a great division in our country's history: The Civil War.

#JoeBiden #RepublicanVP
2/ In 1864, Toward the end of the Civil War and running for reelection, Abraham Lincoln (R) chose Andrew Johnson (D), a Democrat, as his running mate. Lincoln's Vice President during his first term was Hannibal Hamlin, a Republican.

#JoeBide #RepublicanVP
3/ Lincoln chose Andrew Johnson, a Southern Democrat, because of Johnson's appeal to Southern Unionists — and in an effort to help heal the country after the War. Johnson, of course, would go on to become the first President to be impeached on 24 February 1868.

1/ THREAD: There's a very high probability that Mike Pence will be replaced on Trump's 2020 ticket. Although it may be Nikki Haley, with increasing likelihood, it will be Ivanka.
2/ Trump knows his physical & particularly his mental state is degrading. If he picks Ivanka as his running mate, he can stay in power much longer. Donald Trump Jr. is also a possibility, although the President knows Ivanka is significantly more loyal & will generate more votes.
3/ This sets up the scenario of an eventually bedridden and incapacitated Donald Trump with Vice President Ivanka giving speeches, communicating on his behalf, and giving Presidential orders to the outside world (much like Woodrow Wilson and Edith [Bolling] Galt).

1/ THREAD: Body Language Analysis No. 4419: Donald Trump in the midst of a feigned prayer — #Nonverbal #EmotionalIntelligence #BodyLanguage #Deception #BodyLanguageExpert #Prayer #Fake #Feigned #Lying
2/ This image was captured on Sunday 6 November 2016, just two days before the Presidential Election. Pastor Joshua Nink is praying for then-presidential candidate Donald Trump at the First Christian Church in Iowa.
3/ Note Trump's facial expression, particularly his mouth. Although his eyes are closed (as often is the case during prayer) his lips are configured in what is known as a Forward Lip Purse ...

#THREAD Tension is high in #Chile as large demonstrations are taking place in many cities, following days of incidents culminated with the state of emergency being declared and curfew (for the first time since the dictatorship) being issued👇

[#Thread] To all those interested in [Arabic] Twitter, I have done an analysis of verified Twitter accounts in the Middle East (however broadly we interpret that term). I was mostly interested in majority Arabic speaking countries. #digitalhumanities
2/ Firstly special thanks to my RA @imaaaan_1 who collated the data. Methodologically, I was inspired by @luca who did a great post on verified users here > medium.com/startup-grind/… My aim was to focus in on specific Arabic-speaking countries, not all users :)
@imaaaan_1 @luca 3/ A note: I think verified users are important. Verification is increasingly used as a sign of credibility and legitimacy. Many people even pay for verified accounts. Whether we like it or not, Twitter as a social media company now has the ability to bestow upon users social

9. United States decided to label #IRGC terrorists. But who are the real terrorists? Who created, trained, armed & financed the worst terrorist groups in the world?

#Hypocrites #DoubleStandards #Liars #Warlords #USRealTerrorists
Wrong US policies in the Middle East. Sanctions against Iran. Sanctions used by the USA as a war weapon🤨👇🏼
