What’s interesting is 1) he thinks (knows?) he’s going to lose, and 2) if the result can never ever be accurately determined, how on earth can be himself claim victory? He hasn’t really thought this true, has he?
It’s like when he claimed there were millions of ballots cast illegally in California in 2016. No one said to him, ‘Well, if that’s the case then you’re victory is a tainted one and you may not be the legitimate president, according to your own logic and claims’!
You really wanna do this? I accept many pro-Israel people have said 'if Hamas releases the hostages *and* surrenders' but plenty of people have ALSO only claimed 'if Hamas releases the hostages' then the war could be over.
*You* are lying if you say otherwise.
Thread/Receipts: 1/
Let's start with the president of the United States, who said "the release of hostages held by Hamas" is "now the only obstacle to an immediate ceasefire" 2/
Then there's AIPAC, which quote-tweeted and echoed Biden's words, with no 'surrender' caveat. 3/
My response to @piersmorgan's classic 'Do you condemn Hamas?' question to Palestinian/pro-Palestinian/brown guests.
Me: "Hamas is a symptom of the problem...& now you have 10s of 1000s of orphans, people who've lost their kids...what you think they're not going to fight back?"
Piers: "I feel the same way."
Me: "Then we agree."
Watch @piersmorgan agree with me on the futility of Israel's war:
@piersmorgan Watch the full interview that @piersmorgan did with me for @PiersUncensored, on Gaza, Biden, Trump, culture wars, and more, here:
Irony is dead. For months now, American politicians & pundits, Jewish community leaders & students, have obsessed over ‘from the river to the sea’; censuring Rashida Talib & accusing pro-Palestinian activists of genocidal language.
To be clear btw: when @RashidaTlaib said ‘from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free’, and when @marclamonthill said it, theirs was a call for *freedom* in that space
Netanyahu’s ’from the river to the sea’ is much worse - it’s a call for permanent military *occupation*.
@RashidaTlaib @marclamonthill I would love for every member of Congress. Democratic and Republican, every single person who voted to censure Tlaib, to be asked to comment on Netanyahu’s ‘from the river to the sea’ remarks. Do they condemn them? If not, why not?
Last night, Trump brought his own (fake) receipts, stuff on a piece of paper.
Had it not been for the town hall format, Kaitlan Collins could have come armed with her own receipts.
E.g. when he denied asking Raffensperger for votes, she could have played the audio!
1/
E.g. when Collins asked Trump about the violence and injuries inflicted on police officers on January 6th, and Trump immediately deflected to Ashley Babbitt, Collins could have played video of the horrific violence and made Trump watch it with her and respond to it.
2/
E.g. when Trump was falsely claiming he gave the order on the National Guard on Jan 6th, and denying his acting SecDef Christopher Miller later said otherwise, Collins could have played the relevant Miller audio from the January 6th Committee.

So ahead of Trump's appearance on CNN, we get to watch JD Vance - a man who has pushed conspiracy theories and the white supremacist 'Great Replacement' - come on live and do a friendly, pre-game chat.
The normalization of extremism and conspiracism continues.
Anyone watching this interview with Vance on CNN right now would have no idea how extreme Vance is.
Doesn't bode well for the actual interview with Trump.
Vance just said on CNN that the Carroll case was a 'he said she said' issue - even though Carroll produced 2 witnesses to back her claims from the time, & 2 women who also claimed they were assaulted by Trump. That's: he said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said.
