Hitler was not a socialist. He called his party the National Socialist German Workers' Party as a strategy to attract working class voters. Being fascists, Hitler and the Nazi regime were hostile to actual socialism and communism. Fascism: right-wing totalitarianism. Communist: left-wing totalitarianism. So your logic sounds very sophomoric.

You performed like an award-winning journalist today!! Wish all journalists would fact-check in real time during an interview with Trump. In spite of the rain, it was outstanding. He looked like an out-of-control fool, which is not new. You telling him continuously there's no voter fraud was unexpected and much-needed. Brava.

@Pontifex Amen! You bring the breath of fresh air via the Holy Spirit to us.

Roy Cooper had nothing to do with Iryna's death. He's not back on the streets; he's in a federal facility waiting to hear if he's competent enough to stand trial. And if you're talking about Brown's former sentence for armed robbery, the courts confirm that he was released 5 months BEFORE Cooper agreed to releasing some prisoners because of Covid. Read more here on Politifact before you lie as a campaign opposition point. https://t.co/yFcjY9JSho

How can you deliver for NC farmers when you haven't delivered for ravaged western NC by fighting POTUS on the amount of FEMA funds we were supposed to get! The fact that Trump has endorsed you means you, Faust, will work for him, not US. He gives away nothing! You'll be another scared rabbit in the Senate and pass no legislation that improves lives in NC. On top of that, you appointed Harvey Lee West, a CONVICTED SEX OFFENDER to leadership committees in the Rep party. So you're open to corruption. You do not have the character, good judgment, or independence from Trump to be a Senator representing us.

Thank you for your bill to stop this colossal mistake! You know what ANC means to us! Earlier this month, I was up in NOVA. My son and I made our usual pilgrimage to ANC to visit my Dad, (a WWII veteran), his brother, his cousin, and several other ancestors. We drove up to Arlington House, and took in that symbolic, historic view of Memorial Bridge and the Lincoln Memorial. We clearly saw where Trump’s Arc d’Self would stand in the green roundabout at 250’ tall. It would completely block the view of the bridge and the Lincoln Memorial!!! The only thing visitors would see is that meaningless monstrosity, totally out of place in DC, with its copycat Napoleonic architecture representing no recent war victory, no national tragedy, and would only mock the thousands of veterans who sacrificed to serve their country, by overshadowing our nation's most revered cemetery. DC was designed with height and other restrictions to maintain the visual dignity and patriotic feel of the nation's capital. The arch far exceeds those limitations, which is probably why Trump chose to put it on the Virginia side. The height alone is like Trump declaring, “ANC is full of dead people. Those who got killed or captured are suckers and losers for the most part. I like winners, so let’s block the dead and celebrate my greatness and how great we are now, with a great big monument, bigger than France’s, of course.” We ALREADY HAVE monuments to WWII, the Korean War, and Vietnam. True victory is known in our hearts and minds; we shouldn’t need a 250’ ode to ego - his OR ours. But most of all, this arch will block the solemn vista reflecting our national sacrifice. Now, you stand at Arlington House and view our stately, American symbols all over DC, and look down at the sea of perfectly placed marble headstones. If built, this thing will block the patriotic view of DC, and diminish the experience of spanning our history from one fantastic vantage point.

Well, if you were a smart leader, you’d go there immediately and see what’s going on - before you actually try to prove them wrong. We know private prisons and detention centers can be prone to abuse since they have profit motive. Why don’t you show some concern and go? Afraid of what you might find?

@SenThomTillis Spot on with those 4 points. Add to those the ballroom bunker and the slush fund. Yes, bad advisers, and an elderly mind that can't reason very well anymore.

@Bube87855798 @SenThomTillis Trump airs all his grievances on Truth Social. How is that different?

[Virginia Girl @VirginiaGirl]

What China visit did you see? We saw Xi tell Trump immediately to stand down on Taiwan. You’re right, he’s not afraid of China as a threat because he said everything he could to let Xi know we are his best friend who would never think of saying anything against China, much less take a stand against Xi and his violations of human rights. The way Trump gushingly praised the dictator sure looked like begging and supplicance. If you have a transcript of what they talked about which shows him telling Xi how our strength is in our Constitutional, democratic system, and how we want a free Taiwan for our economic future, well, show us.

Trump and the MAGAts closed the border. Ok. Most people think that’s good (even though you haven’t developed a necessary comprehensive immigration policy yet). What else have you done? Ha, Dems didn’t crash the economy; they left Trump with a Covid-recovered, strong economy. Inflation was going down, jobs were being created, and the stock market was climbing. Then Trump messed with it. The market went into the dumps when he hit every country with punitive tariffs. He got rid of important govt workers, making our govt less efficient and effective. You all took away healthcare credits and never found a better system that makes care accessible. He got us into a war that he has no clue how to end because he’s mentally disabled, doesn’t know history, and is now bored. So bored with his job as president that he’s getting excited about rebuilding DC with taxpayer money. You all show your weakness every time you blame Biden rather than raising up YOUR accomplishment and YOUR agenda that should excite the American people. You’re in charge, so get something substantial done.

And we should wipe away the history, the reminder, that we disobeyed God when we forced people to come here to wait on us, to serve us for 250 long years. Then after that emancipation, those Africans who had been here for 250 years, were still treated as ALIENS for another 100 years. We disobeyed God, and like St Paul reminded us, that’s a thorn in our collective side. Of course we did many wonderful things to form this great country, but making sure we are tempered by our shortcomings and the thorns in our flesh, we remain humble and not arrogant - necessary to keep God first and not a human leader…..and not just in word but in deed. Yes, God gave us inalienable rights… if we can keep them.

@MassieforKY Fantastic speech tonight. Spoken like an authentic patriotic statesman!! Can't wait to see what you can do for the American people over the next 7 months. Give 'em hell Thomas! Show 'em what an oath to Article 1 and the rest of the Constitution looks like!

[Virginia Girl @VirginiaGirl]

@SenThomTillis Spot on.

@SecWar Throwing that amount of money at the Pentagon means Pete has failed in his leadership, strategies, and methods. He can’t think smarter so he thinks money, since money makes the public believe that solves everything.

@JesseBWatters, @FOXNews, What a despicable, denigrating, bigoted, shallow, insecure, foolish scumbag you are. FOX should be ashamed to have you on their network and should fire you for breaking the code of ethics and for being an immoral jerk with nothing of value to broadcast.

@elonmusk That's bullshit, Elon.

Hegseth, you just said we haven’t spent the $400 million appropriated for Ukraine. You said Europe paying more is a good thing since they’re closer to Ukraine and should care more about it than we should. So, in that case, shouldn’t Israel, the RICH Gulf States and other Middle Eastern countries within shooting range of Iran take care of Iran’s uranium potential? Like Europe, shouldn’t those nations pay US to protect them or deal with Iran themselves without our help? After all, we can’t be reached by an Iranian nuke. You keep asking, what’s it worth to keep Iran from having a nuke? Americans rarely thought about that before you told us we should, since we can’t be hit by their nukes. If you say we need to be concerned that peace in the Middle East is still in our best interest (I.e. oil - oh wait, we’re energy independent right?), isn’t Ukraine’s sovereignty and stopping Putin in our best interest too, before he gobbles up more countries for the Russian-Chinese alliance? If you say Israel is our ally and they need us to help bomb Iran and need our money to bomb Lebanon, NATO expects no less from us to protect them. Release the $400 M for Ukraine. A small, easy price to pay to promote liberty for a nation that wants to be free, unlike the billions and billions spent in this war and the lives lost, and the worldwide, economic fiasco caused by the stalemate, preceded by the lack of a thoroughly thought out plan.

Mr Graham, our religious freedom has NEVER been threatened in my long lifetime. You don’t think Jimmy Carter was extremely pro-Christian and showed it in his every action to his last breath? You don’t think Reagan, who supported the Moral Majority was pro-Christian? How about George and Barbara and George and Laura, who always get invited to important funerals at Washington Cathedral? Or how about the president who sang Amazing Grace as he consoled a nation? Where have you been living? Maybe one day Trump will sincerely repent and accept Jesus as his savior. We will know if we see a changed man and SEE fruits of the spirit.… not see spiritually ignorant AI posts that he himself made or hear homage to religious freedom to get votes or hear bellicose or hateful condemnation of those who don’t agree with him? Doesn’t JD’s advice to Pope Leo apply to you too??
