@thespybrief In the era of “everythinggate” (where everything is a hyped-up scandal for clicks/ratings), I still don’t see how this matters with voters needed to win in Nov.

Independents/center-right voters never looked fondly on Twitterstan’s cancel culture, and Dems hate tRUmp. 1/ @thespybrief So, what voters are going to be turned off by this: Bernie voters who were never going to vote for anyone but Bernie anyway, and a fraction of the “very online people” who make up a single digit % point of voters, and mostly in states that’ll go blue anyway. 2/

@Mopshell @lauferlaw @RealArticulated I want Dems or win. More importantly, I want to bridge the internal divide that allowed tRUmp to happen in the first place. You want to pick fights and vent outrage. That’s your prerogative. But you’re only helping the very person you oppose. 1/ @Mopshell @lauferlaw @RealArticulated I know people who voted for tRUmp, and we’ve had frank discussions about it. Their sentiment: “tRUmp is crazy and corrupt but Libs are crazy, too, and hate us.“ They think that because the loudest, most divisive (and ignorant) Twitterstan voices are amplified & used to divide. 2/

Dr. King taught us that when we stop trying to be better citizens and improve our govt for all, we decline. That lesson has been painfully obvious over the last 20+ years in DC, where partisan nonsense fueled by mass media has turned America into bickering factions. 1/ We are better than this. We can do better than this. Progress doesn’t require “my way or the highway” attitudes, it requires thoughtful compromise. Governing isn’t about sensationalist drivel spewed for a sound bite, it’s about statesmanship and leadership. 2/

“I say to you today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.” “I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.”

@jonwithno_h @thespybrief No. When Assad used WMD’s on civilians, his air force and airfields they operate on should’ve been destroyed; and a NATO no-fly zone established. Then a refugee “safe zone” OTG. Build semi-permemant camps with schools. Recruit a domestic fighting force from the camp. @jonwithno_h @thespybrief Also recruit a domestic camp police force. Get UN GA to pay for most of the camp’s operations. Establish an international coalition of countries to provide logistical support, or forces to guard the camp, not engage in offensive operations. Give other refugees camp ops jobs.

The Founders warned us about aspiring tyrants using identity politics to destroy our Republic:

“The truth unquestionably is, that the only path to a subversion of the republican system of the Country is, by flattering the prejudices of the people... 1 ...and exciting their jealousies and apprehensions, to throw affairs into confusion, and bring on civil commotion.

Tired at length of anarchy, or want of government, they may take shelter in the arms of monarchy for repose and security... 2

Throughout history, the Republic has served to advance human dignity, freedom, and prosperity. We shared our economic prowess with the world & lifted more people out of abject poverty in the last 50 years than has been achieved the last few hundred combined. 1/6 A govt of the people will, by nature, be imperfect. But we’ve always striven to be better; to do better by our citizens. Despite all the wrongs, ugly discord, and sometimes chaotic nature of our history; we emerged as a beacon of hope & opportunity for the world. 2/6

From IC friend; The Kremlin has stepped up covert influence campaigns against the left on social media, using fake opposition & ‘social justice’ as cover to run their opponents out of DC (see: Sen. Franken), and by leveraging compromised Dem politicians. 1/ Moscow increasingly sees the GOP as dead-in-the-water, and is now looking to corrupt the left to continue inflicting havoc on our politics long enough to dismantle the liberal democratic order. 2/

A.) Don’t trust lessons on dezinformatsiya from someone who can’t spell it properly (hint: it’s deZinformatsiya, not deSinformatsiya). Cc @20committee
B.) Good researchers don’t screw up really basic facts. LM has stated numerous times she’s not in the ‘resistance.’ So I don’t know how she could be a ‘leader’ of it.

Remember when tRUmp fired Comey? Remember the hysteria & panic? Well, Comey had already gamed that scenario out, and within hours of his dismissal DAG Rosenstein & DOJ were preparing for a legal tsunami to counter the attack on the rule-of-law. ^^ Instead, he secured Robert Mueller as Special Prosecutor after meetings with Congress 1 day before the US Marshals were set to roll. This was preferable b/c Mueller could work to educate the public on the events to make them less shocking.

All of Putin’s planning & Oligarch $ couldn’t overcome the will of a few patriots who refused to give in, no matter what was thrown at them. ^ Both @TheRickWilson and @CheriJacobus were viciously trolled. tRUmp GOP’ers came after their livelihoods b/c they refused to give in.
