NEW from me: A senior Trump official is using his govt social media account to smear sitting federal judges, sparking accusations he's putting their safety at risk as judges already face a spike in threats.
This “puts a bullseye” on em, one judge told me. https://t.co/M0x2wKchLI
Everyone should read this to understand just how we put the health of our nation into the hands of a deranged, toxic narcissist, Dr. Anthony Fauci.
His meanderings on his own fame just beneath the death toll numbers his experiments likely created are perhaps the most nauseating thing I've seen lately.
Here is the thing to realize though--the high ranks of our unelected federal bureaucracy are chock-a-block full of lesser and greater Faucis--people who hide behind the veneer of being a "public servant" while all the time actually thinking that YOU serve THEM.
Why? Because they are smarter and better than those grubby little voters and they cling to their unelected bureaucratic power because they are ENTITLED TO IT (or so they believe).
The cure is not to eliminate such people from government--that won't work because narcissists will always be drawn to the seat of power. No, the trick is to eliminate not the people, but the POSITIONS--eliminate the power that the vast, unelected federal Leviathan has over our daily lives, and the Faucis of the world will find other, less harmful, avenues to exercise their God complexes.
It's the only way.
Unsurprising. The most resentful people in the US are those who believe they are owed everything and fail; the least resentful are those who were given nothing and achieve.
@pegobry_en They all say this. “Profound new respect.” But when the time comes they will vote blue no matter who. They always fall in line. Vance WILL be called the new incarnation of Hitler.
@jsolomonReports The problem isn’t boots on the ground. The problem is not having the courage to put boots on the ground and allowing them the direction and freedom to complete the mission. In this, he’s right: we haven’t been in that business since WWII.
@hangry_dad@jsolomonReports I don’t think I’m being conned by anything. What I do think is that audits should be happening, and the dogged resistance to any audits leaves me inclined to believe that there’s some fire to that smoke.
@hangry_dad@jsolomonReports We were also told, in the beginning, that there was little to no fraud happening in Minnesota. This will become as big a story, once more and more jurisdictions are forced to show their rolls.
What we desperately need, in fact, is to crush any impulse to destroy good things because they are not equally distributed.
Good institutions do not just happen. Prestige is a lagging indicator of building something worth preserving. Cultural arsonists must be condemned.
@CENTCOM@7_bosslady29488 Please stop pussyfooting. There is no viable political solution to this conflict, short of completely and utterly destroying Iran’s ability to do anything militarily. We cannot cruise missile our way out of this.
Candace, you and Charlie were not friends. He managed you. He kept things light and polite so you wouldn’t turn on the org.
Show me any proof of genuine friendship from the last 12 months of his life? From the last 18 months? From the last 24 months? Not some 2018 text. Something recent.
You gave him anxiety whenever you called or texted asking (demanding) to speak at our events. He made me or Justin deal with you and George. This is why when you tried to hire me in Feb 2024 for PR I agreed to go along with it against my better judgment, because Charlie asked me to keep you close and protect the org from you. (The publicist I tried to hire to run point prayed about it and felt the Lord told her a firm no, and so, I ultimately declined).
This is your central, foundational lie.
You were not his friend.
You are not his defender.
You were his tormenter.
And now you torment his wife and the organization he built.
Candace, you are a fraud.
My ancestors were slaves, two hundred and fifty years ago as well.
I'm not going to spend my life acting like history happened to me. It didn't. I'm living a life that my ancestors couldn't have imagined: safer, wealthier, freer, with opportunities they never had. Whatever horrors they endured, they led, eventually, to me standing here today.
You weren't a slave. Neither was I. At some point you have to stop treating inherited grievance like it's a personality.
The reality is that today we all have the opportunity to succeed or fail on our own merits. In some ways, if anything, modern society bends over backward trying to compensate for the sins of people who died centuries ago, people who had no connection to anyone alive today except by accident of ancestry.
Carrying around someone else's chains long after they've rusted away is volunteering to stay in a prison that no longer exists. It's stupid. Stop.
The only thing you're actually being held captive by is your own resentment.
This is one of those “We can do this the easy way or the hard way” scenarios, and nobody had the balls to do it the easy way. I’m sympathetic, but you get what you get.
When 18-year-old Elder Chavez was pulled over for going 15 mph over the limit, he tried to show officers docs the US govt granted him after his parents abandoned him in Honduras and he crossed the border alone.
He was put in ICE detention anyway. 🧵 1/ https://t.co/FsUEGf4qES
