I'm having 2016 flashbacks and I'm not sure why Democrats aren't.
You've tried this strategy already. "I'm not Donald Trump" didn't work for you four years ago.

This is what happens when you spend years pretending that people voted for him because of a phantom Russian conspiracy instead of accepting that he won a legitimate election.
I know what the polls are saying, but I also know what they said last time too. I also know that when I drive around suburban MD I see almost no Biden signs, and when I drive in rural VA, I see wall-to-wall Trump signs.
Almost every single R-leaning friend who didn't vote for Trump last time is planning on voting for him this time, without any apprehension. Every single friend who voted for him last time is pulling the lever for him again, quite enthusiastically. Almost none say it publicly.
Perhaps the best representation of how poorly they campaigned was when HRC spent election night signing these covers. And up to the wire, Trump was campaigning in Wisconsin, etc (and was being called crazy to spend his time there!) telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/11/1…
Y'all need more Aesop's Fables in your lives because 2016 and 2020 are 100% "Tortoise and the Hare."

The hardest conversation I have ever had was with the family of these children. I helped them get their family’s story into media to combat terror misinformation about this video. Their mother was killed in front of them. Her body booby trapped and left undiscovered for days.
The terrorists and their supporters claimed they were cared for and released. The reality was they were left in the border area near Gaza because they cried too much, abandoned. They were saved when a neighbor saw them and escaped with them, risking her life to save theirs.
I am deeply and forever grateful to @jaketapper for his work telling their story, and the stories of so many other families for whom the last year has been filled with deep pain.

Please take the time to watch this. Thank you, Jake.

The new Super Hitler has a Jewish daughter, three Jewish grandchildren and was unapologetically supportive of the Jewish state. Quite the plot twist.
Listened to @IvankaTrump recently on the @lexfridman podcast and was so pleased to hear how she multiple times wove Jewish thought and teaching into their conversation. She’s a gift to the Jewish people.
@IvankaTrump @lexfridman Dovi linked them here:

In honor of D-Day, buckle in for the story of how a Jewish soldier from Pittsburgh ended up in a Nazi mass grave, and how through dogged determination, will be buried with full military honors in Normandy later this month. Image
Lieutenant Nathan Baskind, of Pittsburgh, PA, came ashore on Utah Beach on D-Day with the 899th Tank Destroyer Battalion. Engaged in fierce battle, he went ahead of his troops to reconnoiter their position in the Battle of Cherbourg June 23, 1944. He was never heard from again.
A search of contemporaneous German war records revealed that Baskind was ambushed and shot, taken prisoner by the German army, and sent to a Luftwaffe field hospital. Later on the 23rd, Nathan Baskind died, and was buried together with 23 German soldiers in a mass grave.

Nine years ago, after three teenage boys were lynched, I said we should have nuked Hamas and eliminated the threat. Hamas went on to rape and murder over a thousand people. But to BrieBrie, they were just having a picnic.
Hamas should have been smashed a long time ago. Child killing is nothing new. amp.theguardian.com/world/2014/jun…
If you’re out here Holocaust denying and rape apologizing in 2023, you’re going to have to do better than a hyperbolic nine year old tweet @briebriejoy.

I was a super far leftie in college. I took a class called The Politics of Protest and my thesis for the paper I had to write was that the intifada was a valid protest movement. I did a lot of research, including reading @AlanDersh ‘s Case for Israel.
I ended up turning in a paper about how Zionism was a protest movement. (Which tbh was a real stretch but when you have a total political realignment in one semester you run out of time for another thesis and the time to do the research.)
It was pretty exciting for me personally to do a segment with him tonight with @kilmeade. I know you’re supposed to play it cool, but it was a really exciting moment to be split screen with Dersh defending Israel. Full circle kind of moment.

PERSONAL REQUEST: I spent the day with Amit yesterday on the Hill. She left her husband and three kids in Israel, all of whom just went through the worst trauma imaginable (35 hours hiding in silence as their front yard was used by Hamas as a staging area in Kfar Aza. Image
She left them because her friend Avihai needed help coming to talk to Members of Congress to beg them to help secure the release of his wife and three children. Her kids are all best friends with his. Image
She told me how her husband’s businesses and her job are gone. About how their home was destroyed and her family are living in a shelter. They’ve got literally nothing left from the house except underwear they were able to go back to get ten days later.
