A lot of people are bashing Joe Biden for visiting Kiev instead of East Palestine. I understand that criticism, especially on Presidents Day, however Joe Biden should visit Kiev. But he should have gone to negotiate peace, not pour gas on a flame. 1/X
US Presidents have a history as peacemakers. Teddy Roosevelt arranged an end to the Russo-Japanese War. Carter negotiated the Camp David Accords between Israel and Egypt. President Trump became the first President to set foot in North Korea and negotiated the Abraham Accords. 2/X
President Biden should be in Ukraine to try and negotiate a peace. There’s a lot he could do to achieve that. He could start by conceding long-term Ukrainian neutrality. Our refusal to negotiate over that before the invasion is one of the chief causes of this war. 3/X
1) I was texting with @emeriticus and we both agree Biden’s speech was, surprisingly, kind of... MAGA?
It sounds strange, but it's true. Biden appropriated themes from the nationalist movement and laced them into his speech. It’s all lies and nonsense but it’s very telling.
2) It shows the Democrat data monstrosity sees the path to victory in 2024 is through populism and nationalism. Their data is right. People are yearning for national revival. Biden can't deliver it, but even mentioning it helps him.
3) Biden’s political super power is to be insanely radical, widely unpopular but unlike Obama or Hillary, less people hate him. When he delivers another slurred, barely coherent speech, the public's gut reaction is sympathy, not loathing. That's easy to mock, but not easy to hate
1) There are some amazing members that truly love the grassroots. 55 of them that listen to you and care about what you think. They are passionate, lovely people who want their country back. They are wonderful.
2) There is a small group of the 111 — likely 10-12 people — that are just scared. They don’t know how to move forward but are terrified of changing the status quo. They voted for Ronna for “continuity not chaos," a weak argument based on fear, not vision.
3) The largest slice of the RNC pie is filled with people who have a deep-seated contempt for the base energy of the party. Several told me to my face that they are annoyed by the grassroots and their “emails” that “bother them.”
In the past, our aid to Ukraine has been defensive in nature, with the understanding that powerful offensive weapons would be interpreted in Moscow as an escalation.
Now, we're sending offensive weapons. (1/X)
The Biden administration has announced it will be sending 100 Stryker assault vehicles to Ukraine in its next aid package. The U.K. is planning to send modern battle tanks. Until now, both of these had been off-limits as too provocative. (2/X)
Does anyone have a plan for how to safely end this war? Or is our plan the same as Afghanistan — send as much money and equipment as possible and hope for the best? What is our plan if Russia decides it would rather use nuclear weapons than lose Crimea or Donbas? (3/X)
San Francisco’s official “reparations committee” is celebrating MLK Day by releasing a proposal that would create a racial caste system for the next three centuries in that city. (1/x)
The proposal starts by asking for a small slice of San Francisco to be given $5 million each, based solely on their skin color. It also proposes taxpayer-financed forgiveness of all their debt, again based only on skin color. (2/x)
Furthermore, the proposal calls for giving all reparations recipients special tax credits as well as preferential lower rates on property taxes, payroll taxes, and more, once again entirely based on race. (3/x)
