🧵 Tomorrow will start the 4-day countdown of my Top 100 Clips of 2022. As a preview, here are the first 10 that failed to make the cut.
#110. Ivanka lets everyone know how much she is doing for people in Ukraine.
#109. At the final event for Michael Flynn & Eric Trump’s tour before the midterms, they wrap things up by striking the ground with imaginary arrows to call upon God to help Republican candidates.
#108. Junior rants about student loan forgiveness, complaining that it will only benefit people who went to school for 10 years to get a PhD in Fashions of Harry Styles or Underwater Basket Weaving.
#107. When Ted Cruz called J6 a “violent terrorist attack” on the anniversary, Tucker Carlson went nuts on his show. Ted came on the next night, apologized, and said he “misspoke.”
#106. Leaving Mar-a-Lago after Trump’s announcement to run for president, Madison Cawthorn says he will follow him “until the day I die,” because Trump has “bled for us, fought for us.”
#105. After the FBI executed a search warrant at Mar-a-Lago, FL congressional candidate Martin Hyde issues a statement saying: “I wish they’d turn up at my home, because they’d have gone home in a body bag.”
#104. Kevin Sorbo says he has 30 movie scripts with crews and locations ready to go but needs funding. Says if some big GOP donors will finance his movies he will be able to change the culture faster than anyone.
#103. After his crew got arrested on their way to crash a Pride event, the leader of the white nationalist group Patriot Front whined and cried about how cruel their 12-hour incarceration was.
#102. Roger Stone says there is a satanic portal above the White House that needs to be closed by prayer.
#101. Sarah Palin said “the entire country should be angry” that she lost because of AK’s ranked choice voting system, which deprived us of her service in Congress.

So when Trump went on a tangent about a bloodbath if he loses he was just talking about his lie that 100% of the US auto industry was going to move to China under Biden? Although his cult followers might not get that addled nuance, we must assume he’s only lying not inciting?
When he said come to DC on J6 and “be there, will be wild!” he was only talking about the speeches. They were going to be wild speeches. And when Mo Brooks said they have to “kick some ass” in a bulletproof vest he was talking about them just peacefully protesting earnestly.
The problem with media today is that they fundamentally don’t understand what is happening. Journalism school, & maybe previous decades in the business, have taught them to give the benefit of the doubt on intent. But these Weimar journalists still don’t get that what they are dealing with is taught in history classes, not journalism school.
🧵 THE BORDER 🧵
Pretty obvious the GOP is going to run back the border as their main issue for 2024, while triple-downing on it from the midterms. I say triple down because issues like gas prices, inflation, covid restrictions & vax mandates, CRT, that they also used in the …
midterm will either be non-issues by Nov 24 or far less important than Nov 22. So all of America’s issues - crime, drug overdoses, aid to Ukraine, you name it - will all be blamed on the border. So what does the Admin do? They can choose to ignore it like 2022. Appoint a …
‘Border Czar’ who doesn’t want the job and blow it off. They can just say everything is great and Rs are exaggerating. Or, and I know this sounds crazy, articulate a clear policy, the reasons for that policy, and detail how that policy is being enforced. And then message …
Remember when I predicted that the MAGA talking point today was going to be that Biden should’ve went to OH instead of Ukraine? That was before any of these.
