@KirstiMiller30 This is from the people that say “it’s basic biology, if you have xy chromosomes you’re a man.” Did he not have the correct xy chromosomes?

Dear Joe,
I wish I could sit down with you face to face and explain why so many of us were offended by the UFC fight on the South Lawn of the White House.
For me, it had nothing to do with the UFC or who showed up for the fights. The brand you and Dana have built is a bona fide American success story. More power to you. As for the fighters, in my book, anyone brave enough to put it all on the line in the arena is remarkable to witness. Their dedication and discipline inspire me. I don’t understand anyone who can’t admire that.
And as for the people who attended, I, for one, love Shane Gillis. I think he’s hilarious and brilliant. It was a show. A once-in-a-lifetime spectacle. I can’t blame anyone for wanting to witness it firsthand.
My problem is that I believe some of our public spaces are sacred. And unlike many of the great powers that came before us, these American monuments belong to all of us. Not to whoever happens to hold power at the moment.
The White House does not belong to Donald Trump. It does not belong to any President. It belongs to the people. To treat it as Caesar treated the Colosseum is antithetical to everything our founding fathers fought for.
This is not Rome. Presidents are not emperors doling out bread and circuses for the peasants. The White House is the People’s House. This “celebration” could have happened in any stadium within a stone’s throw of the South Lawn. No one would have had an issue with it.
But that was obviously Donald Trump’s whole point. By holding the event on the South Lawn, what he was saying to the rest of us is:
“This is my house. I own it. I will do with it what I please. I’ll build a colosseum and have the gladiators fight under my gaze. I’ll tear down the East Wing. I’ll pave over the Rose Garden. I’ll cover everything in gold and marble. I’ll erase the names of all the men who came before me.”
The fights were an exhibition of imperial domination, not a celebration of our 250th anniversary as a democracy.
The White House is not Buckingham Palace. It is not the Palace of Versailles. It is not the Forbidden City of Beijing. It does not belong to an emperor, or a king, or a commissar.
The White House belongs to us. All of us. The person who sits behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office is nothing more than an honored guest. A temporary caretaker.
The President is our servant. Not our Caesar.
Respectfully, Hunter

P.S. Cage match between me and Don Jr.? Your call on the venue. Anywhere but the South Lawn.

@HunterBiden Hunter, thanks for coming along at a time when we can use a voice of reason and some hope.

[Robert Shipman Jr @RobertShipmanJr]

I think now is a good time to remind everyone of this gem.

[Robert Shipman Jr @RobertShipmanJr]

@WUTangKids And doesn’t get booed.

[Robert Shipman Jr @RobertShipmanJr]

@shesbonky So shouldn’t be a crime at all then.

[Robert Shipman Jr @RobertShipmanJr]

@EastEndJoe I thought that was just a new shade of foundation.

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

I don't know why any of you haters are surprised I'm the one actually engaging here.

You're the ones who've obsessively pored over the 10,000 photos, the 30,000 text messages, and the 128,000 emails from my hacked iCloud and stolen devices.

If I am anything, I am prolific.

You know what you won't find? Any of the most heinous, hateful things you keep posting about me.

What you'll find from me here is the same thing you found there.

Total transparency. Finally on my terms. Not yours.

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

I see your profile picture. That’s Johnny Cash. My hero too. Arrested seven times. Smuggled 668 amphetamines across the Mexican border in 1965. Took every drug there was and drank like I did. Cheated on his first wife. Slept with more woman than I ever did. Hit bottom in a cave in Tennessee in 1968 trying to crawl off and die. And then he got up. He got clean. He spent the rest of his life singing for prisoners and addicts and the people the country threw away because he knew he was one of them.

That was the whole point of the Man in Black. He wore it for the poor and the beaten down. He wore it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime. He wore it for the ones who never heard a word of Jesus. He wore it for the addicted and the dying. He wore it as a standing witness that no one is past saving.

You picked his picture. You did not pick his message. Try listening to the words.

Imagine if a woman president crashed the economy and started a war with no end in sight, and her biggest, seemingly ONLY concern was building a ballroom and redecorating the White House.

Why trust scientific consensus?

For the same reason we trust maps when crossing an ocean.

Because millions of observations point in the same direction.

[Captain Obvious™️ @TheFungi669]

I hate to admit this but Trump was right.

He said that if I vote for Kamala Harris gas prices, groceries prices and my utility bills will go through the roof.

I voted for Harris and my gas, groceries and utility bills have gone through the roof.

@emkenobi God I feel dirty knowing they shared an anniversary with my wife and me.

[Robert Shipman Jr @RobertShipmanJr]

@AGoldmund @c0mmunismisg00d That was when Chicago still needed her and still fed her.

I just want to point out....

The amount of money the United States has spent on war in the last 67 days, is roughly the same cost that Bernie Sanders proposed for universal college. So the real question is never can we afford it, it's what we choose to prioritize.

[Robert Shipman Jr @RobertShipmanJr]

@Andrew_Dalgarno @youlooklikeamom This has been my belief all along.

@atrupar So now they’re against capitalism?

@FixinYourUglies A woman can become a widow from other causes of death also.

@ScottPresler @PatriciaHeaton Like possibly sensible gun laws?
