Can’t help but notice all the people who said Obama would desecrate the White House with Escalades and rap music on the South Lawn are absolutely loving this UFC fight on the South Lawn.

Probably just a coincidence.

When Biden implemented the same approach -- limited release of Iranian funds for humanitarian purchases subject to US approval, Republicans called him "either stupid or naive" and claimed the money would fund Hamas. Now Trump agreed to the same mechanism and it's totally fine.

To everyone so eager to cancel someone for a tattoo they got at age 22, a drunk text, a selfie they took in the middle of a mental health crisis:

Show us your laptop.
Show us your iCloud.
Open your entire digital life to your worst enemy. No context. No filter. No explanation.

You won’t.

You won’t because you know what I know. Any one of us, frozen at our worst moment, photographed in our lowest hour, looks like a monster. Looks like a stranger. Looks like someone who deserves to be cast out.

That is not who we are.

My mom and baby sister were killed in a car accident when I was just a kid. Cancer took my brother Beau, my best friend and my rock. I battled alcoholism. I battled addiction. I chose the coward’s way out more times than I can count.

For years I believed the defining chapters of my life were written by tragedy, loss, and shame.

I no longer believe that.

Pain can shape us. Loss can humble us. Failures can leave scars that never fully fade. But none of them have the authority to define us.

And it sure as hell ain’t the critic that counts.

That authority belongs to us alone-the person in the arena.

Every setback presents a choice. Play the victim, or cut the bullshit and take ownership for who we become next.

Life does not determine our character. It reveals it.

Again and again we are asked the same question. When shit happens, what next?

We are not defined by what happened to us. We are not defined by the worst photo, the worst text, the worst tattoo, the worst night. We are defined by the person we choose to become. And by the courage to choose that person, every single day.

So before you reach for the gavel - show us your laptop.

You won’t.

The whole world saw mine. And I am still here. Still becoming. Still choosing. Still standing.

That is the only definition that matters.

Democrats are so diabolical and ingenious at rigging elections that Republicans control the presidency, house and senate.

@HunterBiden For any one who struggles and doesn't feel that traditional 12-step programs are for them, please look into Smart Recovery https://t.co/m8FaWbH4ss - you can succeed, don't give up.

[Athena Rising @AthenaRising]

@HunterBiden GRATITUDE - Yes! I am grateful and humbled by my daughter's recovery - and one of the biggest lessons when I started talking about it is that so many families are touched by addiction. I am so proud of her, and of you and your family. The conversation is so important ❤️

I’ve taken a lot of hits, and I’ve deserved some of them. I beat myself up over them more than you can imagine.

But the grace people have shown me here is truly humbling.

Some of the kindest words have come from the people you’d least expect.

And for that I am so grateful.

This isn’t about me. It’s about every person in recovery who shows up and tries again.

And to everyone still in the fight tonight: you are not alone, I see you.

@PhilRicketts3 @mmpadellan @HunterBiden they're ... as in they're MAGA, and they're apologists for their pedophile criminal hero Trump and his criminal family - They're just mad because they don't know they're in a CULT, or mad because they do know - so there they go, stupidly trolling people who are honest
