What, exactly, did @JoeBiden find "offensive" about the 1776 Commission report? Was it Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.?
Or was it the part about the Constitution?
Wait, wait -- was the "offensive" part about Frederick Douglass?
I know. @JoeBiden must have been offended by the 1776 Commission report because of its honest discussion of slavery. Delaware was a slave state.
Maybe Democrats still think Lincoln is "offensive"?
Or maybe @JoeBiden thinks it's "offensive" to oppose fascism AND communism? Can't imagine why.
"When we appreciate America for what she truly is, we know that our Declaration is worth preserving, our Constitution worth defending, our fellow citizens worth loving, and our country worth fighting for."

- 1776 Commission Report

"Offensive" & "counterfactual," says @JoeBiden.

Trump's determination to find a way to win at all costs made him an extraordinarily successful president when his interests lined up with those of the country, but led him to ruin when they did not, after Nov. 3 and especially after Dec. 14 when the Electoral College voted. (1/5)
The extreme tactics and rhetoric used throughout his presidency by the Democrats, the media, the deep state, the "Resistance," and #BlackLivesMatter/Antifa not only "normalized" violence and chaos, but created a siege mentality apparently impervious to criticism and advice. (2/5)
Democrats have earned the right to govern. With that right comes the burden of responsibility. And the most urgent task is uniting the country. Reconciliation will require admitting Democrats did things over the past year and more that were out of bounds. Both sides failed. (3/5)

I am not the only conservative who opposes what some Republicans plan to do in Congress Jan. 6 as protests gather in front of the White House. Here I do not speak for anyone but myself, but while I believe the election was neither free nor fair I do not support this effort. (1/5)
I have no patience for the criticisms of Democrats or the media, who not only supported similar challenges in the past, but also promoted the "Russia collusion" hoax for years in trying to undo the result of the 2016 election. Their mischief also affected the 2020 election. (2/5)
I don't think what the 11 Senate Republicans are doing is unlawful or unconstitutional. I simply think it is unwise. It has no reasonable chance of changing the election result. It is simply a protest. Sometimes protests are worth it, even when they have no hope of success. (3/5)

The @AP fact check says that @realDonaldTrump is wrong about signature matching in the Georgia consent decree. But the AP article does not link to the consent decree. apnews.com/article/ap-fac… (Never a good sign.) So I decided to check AP's work. The AP's fact-check is wrong. (1/7)
I found that In 2019, Georgia enacted a law that relaxes the signature matching requirement. It allows an absentee voter whose signature does not match to cast a provisional ballot, then "cure" the defect within a certain period of time, with ID etc. legis.ga.gov/Legislation/20… (2/7)
I found the consent decree on the website of Perkins Coie. It's another win for attorney Marc Elias, the Democrat lawyer who was exposed as having hired Fusion GPS to compile the "Russia dossier." Having tried to influence one election, with 0 consequences, he did it again. (3/7)

I am very concerned about what I have learned about @VP Mike Pence's debate preparations.

It's an incomplete view, no doubt, but also a worrying one, given the stakes.

There are a few hours left, so read this thread and RT if you want someone on VP's team to see this.

(1/10)
@KamalaHarris excels at set pieces like her attack on @JoeBiden last year ("that little girl was me").

She is 100% certain to attack Pence on COVID.

"You were in charge of the coronavirus task force. But you couldn't even protect the president."

Pence better be ready.

(2/10)
What's @VP's answer on coronavirus? It can't just be the usual about ventilators & vaccines.

It has to start with the fact that @realDonaldTrump is getting better, and note that Biden's proposals have copied Trump's plans with one crucial exception: Trump values freedom.

Thread on Trump, the coronavirus, and the election. (1/12)
I wish the President and the First Lady a complete and swift recovery. I have taken comfort in II Kings 20, about the recovery of King Hezekiah: another leader, another reformer, another extraordinary political figure who restored his nation's values and overcame the odds. (2/12)
It is nice to see (some) Democrats wish Trump well.

It is INTOLERABLE that this is the first time most have done so in four years. They only acknowledge his presidency once he faces a life-threatening disease.

@JoeBiden compared Trump to Nazi Joseph Goebbels on Saturday. (3/12)

Biden’s tax returns showed he and Dr. Jill barely give anything to charity. The “Scranton vs. Park Ave.” thing is funny, because he barely lived in Scranton and Trump was born in Queens.
I should qualify this: they barely *gave* until the last few years, when they started giving more, including large sums to their own charities.
"Joe Biden and his wife donated just $70,000 to charity in the two decades leading up to 2017, per their tax returns. But when their earnings skyrocketed in 2017, so did their giving." forbes.com/sites/chasewit…
