"[T]wo, to rebuild the backbone of this country — the middle class, hardworking people, and people struggling to get in the middle class. They built America, and unions built them.”
This is not only a lie, but inflation is now hammering the middle class. Another FAIL.
”The third reason I said I was running was to unite the country.... Well, I’ve not been able to unite the Congress, but I’ve been uniting the country, based on the polling data. We have to come together. We have to."
This is another massive FAIL. America is as divided as ever.
Now, let's look at the disastrous Biden-Harris agenda.
You won't see economic prosperity, business opportunity, rebuilding the military or securing the border here.
"[W]e must start with diplomacy rooted in America’s most cherished democratic values: defending freedom, championing opportunity, upholding universal rights, respecting the rule of law"... whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…
... and treating every person with dignity. That’s the grounding wire of our global policy — our global power. That’s our inexhaustible source of strength. That’s America’s abiding advantage."
Values we surely embrace; but nothing that will stop threats from Russia and China.
The basis of diplomacy is *power.* If you lack it, the values you espouse will fail to have purchase.
If America is militarily weak, economically restrained & fails to secure even its own border, then it will cede leadership on the global stage. But what if that is the point?

Can someone at @YouTube, @Google or @Facebook explain how demonetizing Russian citizens will bring an end to the Ukraine invasion?
Seriously, lay out how this leads to Putin pulling out or brings a moderate president to power.
Otherwise, it's just cruelty for its own sake.
@YouTube@Google@Facebook I'm a political scientist by training. I don't understand the *linkage* in the policy response here. Can someone lay out the mechanism of how this brings about a positive resolution to the Ukraine crisis?
@YouTube@Google@Facebook If you're trying to get Putin toppled or assassinated, there is absolutely no guarantee a pro-Western leader takes over Russia. It's even or better odds that the next President would be *worse.*
Quick-and-dirty overview: Russia poisoned the West with communism; USSR fell & faked 'democratic reforms'; Russia sat back to watch communism destroy West; the aspiring communist West tried to absorb Ukraine; Putin invaded to stop it; Russia is now paying for its active measures.
You wonder why Putin is so hated by Western liberals? Look no further. He's not down with "the plan."🔻
Putin may be a war criminal, but how is that different than what the left called Bush? Or about Obama with his drone strikes? These Western elites don't care about Ukraine except as it is part of the plan to absorb the semi-periphery of Europe into a globalist "core."
Everything is following such a predictable playbook to destroy America that it's almost laughable at this point.
It's horrible and extremely serious what they are doing, but also so transparently destructive that it's obviously concerted and pre-planned.
People who know me closely can vouch that I talked extensively about this 'global fascist' effort over a decade ago. Things that may have seemed edgy and 'out there' at the time now would smack people as 'ho hum' and a given nowadays.
