Hillary Clinton has spent the last 4 years saying Donald Trump is an illegitimate president. If you want to fight the decaying of our democracy, start there.
The gaslighting is just too intense right now. No one thinks Republicans are going to riot in the streets if Donald Trump loses. But we are frequently told to brace for the left being unable to accept results reached by the rules we’ve used for hundreds of years.
Do I think Trump happily accepts a Biden wins and throws no shade on it? No, I don’t. He’ll say it was rigged, he’ll say he really won, etc. ;
(Again, like Hillary!) But do I think he will cling to power and refuse to leave the White House? Get a grip.
My final point is that we have so much real shit to worry about right now. Why are we collectively spending two days worrying about literally nothing? The question was stupid, the answer was awkward, move on.

The leftism that has corroded the Reform and Conservative Jewish movements has to be beaten back. It starts with abandoning the politicized synagogues. They have aligned with people who hate you. My latest in @RCPolitics realclearpolitics.com/articles/2024/…
New York and Florida saw their first cases in the same week. New York has still not recovered from the damage caused by Gov. Cuomo and his backward, anti-science, child-last lockdown policies. Millions fled New York because of him…including Donald Trump.
Again, what is Trump saying by his (incorrect) view NY did better than FL? NY didn't open schools until end of school yr 2021. Restaurants stayed closed for indoor dining into winter 2021. People suffered. NY's economy still has not recovered. This is what FL should have done?
I'm still wrapped up in the Covid years. It altered my entire life. I get that's not the case for everyone, lots of people have fully moved on. And I will but not yet, in large part because I'm vigilant to the reality of Covid being rewritten. I'm not going to let that happen.
10yo son is soon competing in an intense history tournament. He's a fly-by-seat-of-his-pants kind of kid (do NOT know where he gets it) so hasn't *studied* at all, just reading his reg history-filled books. I'm scared he's going to get smoked. He's working on his victory speech.
My friend whose son is competing in the Middle School competition (my son is in Elementary) says that groups of kids get together on weekends to practice when/how to buzz in. My kid...is not doing that.
Give me your best history trivia question to test him. Can be hard but not super obscure.
I didn't get to watch this when it happened but it's up now & if you want to get all pissed off on a Friday you can listen to @BilldeBlasio call the Covid time "New York's finest hour." It was not. He and his political side drove the city into the ground. opentodebate.org/debate/is-flor…
"Did New Yorkers give up? Did they turn against each other?"- @BilldeBlasio
Yes. Yes, they did. Neighbors were encouraged to report on each other for having too many people in their houses. Orthodox Jews were targeted for worshipping. It was awful. NY's worst moment.
As evidence of NY doing better than Florida, deBlasio says 57 million tourists visited NY last year. That's cool, Florida had 137.6 million in 2022.
Another important reminder: the bullshit hybrid system that @rweingarten championed as a success in NYC was actually the least safe option for everyone. From our book Stolen Youth, buy it here: amzn.to/3ne0BTs
You can draw a direct connection between @rweingarten's influence and schools remaining closed. The pathetic left wanted to hurt Donald Trump so they ended up hurting the poorest kids in America. And no one has been held accountable. amzn.to/3ne0BTs
Yesterday I posted a video of @rweingarten saying they would "try" to open schools...in summer *2021.* As we note in Stolen Youth, the media tried to argue that Florida was doing something dangerous by opening their schools in 2021. Remember 4 dead teachers in Broward?
