@MetamateDaz Sorry for your experience, but don’t you think it would have been better to not stereotype and demonize him the way he did you?

@hureyaksa We also have the resources to easily do both.

[Agatha’s mom☮️ @agatha5a]

@hureyaksa Perhaps they spend too much, perhaps not. Are you privy to all the threats out there? Personally, I’m glad they take the threat of China, Russia, and North Korea knocking on my door one day seriously.

@Suzierizzo1 Am I the only one who sees the hand of Putin behind all of this?

The Lessons I Learned from My Dad

I am not the man my father is.
I am trying. Some days closer. Some days farther.
He never sat me down and explained these lessons. He lived them. I’m still learning them.

Show up.
The kitchen table. The hospital room. The funeral. The picket line. The call from the son who won’t answer.
Show up.
Most days that’s the whole job.
My whole life I watched him do it. Not for cameras. Not for headlines. Not because there was something in it for him. He showed up because someone needed him.

I learned that grief doesn’t make you special.
My father buried a wife and daughter. He buried a son. Yet he never treated grief as a claim on other people’s sympathy. Instead, it made him notice theirs.
A mother who lost a child. A father sitting beside a hospital bed. A kid scared about what comes next. A son who lost his mother, his sister, his brother.
He always noticed.

I learned that power is not the point.
The people who chase power eventually confuse the office with themselves.
My father never did.
Whether he was a county councilman, a senator, vice president, or president, he was the same man.
The title changed.
He didn’t.

I learned that family comes first.
The train from Wilmington wasn’t symbolism.
It was every night.
He read to us. Showed up to games. Sat through hospital rooms. Waited up for children who were lost.
And when the day came that the country and the family could not both have him at full strength, he chose family. He relinquished the last chapter of how he wanted to be remembered. And he never complained about it.

Most of all, I learned that love is not soft.
Love is discipline.
Love is showing up at one in the morning when nobody is watching.
Love is answering the phone.
Love is staying.
Love is getting back up after life knocks you down and doing it all again tomorrow.
That love saved my life.
I’ve failed at many of these lessons, sometimes in very public ways.
He loved me anyway.

That’s the last lesson.
I am not trying to become my father.
I am trying to carry what he gave me.
And if I can do that, even imperfectly, that will be enough.

Happy Father’s Day, Dad. I love you.

@commons96055467 What would you like ’us’ to do and why aren’t you doing it? Or maybe it isn’t ‘us’ but the gutless, spineless Republicans in Congress.

There’s no way for MAGA to spin this surrender. Trump started a costly war he couldn’t finish.

[The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHoller]

A trail of destruction. Imagine their reaction if Obama had done even one of these things.

@BoomertarianN The Wang word was better than all of them.

@sluggymcduggy I would hope it would more generally act as a deterrent for other arrogant, self righteous assholes to think twice about their behavior.

@theliamnissan I think a piece should be put in the Smithsonian.

@SenWarren Community college isn’t the answer for everyone. Whenever you post something like this, please also say, or 2 years of trade school. We need those people and they need to know they’re included.

This is Trump donor and Mar-a-Lago neighbor John Cafaro who got the no-bid contract to install a water purification system for the reflecting pool. He has 2 prior convictions, one for bribing a member of Congress and another for an illegal loan that violated campaign finance laws.

[Chris D. Jackson @ChrisDJackson]

Ah, there it is.

The cash-grab gossip books. The “exclusive” interviews. The fake journalism. The same media parasites who spent years pretending they were saving democracy are now cashing in on the circus they helped bring back.

Biden was boring. Stable. Competent. Bad for ratings.

Trump is chaos, clicks, book deals, panel hits, and nonstop content.

They wanted the show back.

Now they get paid while the country burns.

That’s not journalism. That’s a business model.

[Ricky Davila @TheRickyDavila]

It still breaks my heart that Joe Biden gets absolutely no credit for how magnificent of a President he was with the shitstorm he was deliberately given only to be relentlessly attacked, mocked and criticized and then discarded like nothing. We didn’t deserve him.

[Agatha’s mom☮️ @agatha5a]

@gtconway3d Whatever law that may exist does not allow standing for anyone to challenge, or any means to enforce it, or even if it did SCOTUS would rule against it.

Dear media

@CNN @ABC @NBC @CBS @FoxNews

Report on Trump like you did on Biden.

Trump is:
Old
Declining
Confused
Bruised
Cognitive decline
Multiple doctors
Can’t stand or walk or step up or sit without help
Dementia
Speaks horribly about Americans
Degrades America
Lies
