@VP full of so many historical errors and revisionist views of Reconstruction that I am forced into a thread of correction! Not surprising to see him defend a racist buffoon like Johnson. Let me refer you to an opposing point of view nytimes.com/2019/11/29/opi…
@VP 1. JFK changed his mind about Reconstruction when he was forced to send federal troops to desegregate Ole Miss. Not clear if he even wrote Profiles in Courage or whether it was ghost written.
@VP 2. Ross was not a profile in courage, he was bribed for his vote. Like the @VP sold his soul to the devil.
@VP 3. Johnson WAS NOT continuing Lincoln's plans Lincoln signed off on the Freedmen's Bureau, Johnson vetoed the Freedmen's Bureau bill. How should we understand Presidential Reconstruction under Lincoln and Johnsonian restoration of white supremacy? All in my forthcoming book!
@VP 4. A historian's message to all the Senators, Trump will be remembered like Johnson, reviled for posterity. A real profile in courage would be to actually vote your conscience and the facts of the case. @VP will surely answer to his Maker for his cowardice and corruption.

PONDER ON THE WORD BELOW (A #THREAD):

God created this world and brought man, a living being unto which He bestowed life, into it. Next, the man came to have parents and kin and was no longer alone.

I'm still surprised by Macron’s recent xenophobic remarks on Bulgarians & Ukrainians which together with his veto on the EU accession talks with Albanians & Macedonians, his earlier tirades about various nations in “Eastern Europe” and👇report inspired me to #thread some thoughts
2) The problem is not about a given personality. Macron is a talented politician who represents a peculiar school of thinking about Eastern Europeans (more accurately Central Europe). So there's something deeper here, more systemic and definitely not limited to France, only.
3) The said school of thinking has its roots in the old way of seeing the entirety of Central & Eastern Europe as 'a distant land we know so little' but even more importantly 'we don't want to know'.

Most Arab capitals already aware of the killing of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi; in a few hours, the rest of the West wakes up. There's going to be a lot of celebration - but that road has been travelled before, when Bin Laden was killed. Some questions and queries: #Thread
Al-Baghdadi wasn't ISIS: he was the leader of it, but he wasn't even one of its most significant ideologues. His death is important in terms of the morale of his followers, & putting yet another hole in the narrative of ISIS as a victorious entity, but important not to overstate.
The group will transform - it won't disappear. That sort of process was already underway, and the death of a symbolic figure at the top is likely to speed it up. What does 'ISIS 3.0' look like? Will other international affiliates transform into their own brands altogether?

Dear @idringp I watched that video many times, read your responses to anyone who dared to call you out, tried to think from all angles to see if, maybe they were overacting but I couldn’t come up with any. I am not here to argue but to tell you why we are offended.

#Thread
We are offended because Genocide & Comedy have never ever been mixed before, you set a precedent. Some of your fans commented saying that you just said the word, they forgot to mention it was in line with a joke about Rwanda. It makes it our business because #Genocideisnotajoke.
We are offended because you trivialized an era that changed our lives forever. We are still recovering, just last week, more victims were uncovered in a basement of house. We are still traumatized, wounds are still fresh and still burying our own…25 years later.

We are the chosen ones. This fight didn't just happen to start in our lifetime. This fight is inevitable. It was time to stand up or bow down, and we stood up. God told us this day was coming.

The 2nd amendment and a bad ass military kept us ☟
...from falling. Our homeland is protected inside and out by Patriots. People willing to do wherever it takes to complete the mission. We fight for the future of our children, because it is our duty.

This is OUR time! The last stand. It's now or never. All in or fold. ☟
#QsArmy is a very real thing. We are not stealing valor. We are in the Constitution (2nd amendment militia)

@GenFlynn & #AdmRogers made it clear that civilians play a part in the new age of digital warfare. Q said we are part of the Army.

We are not just posting rants, memes ☟
