Likewise, Buchanan and Andrew Johnson were not nearly as bad as people claim.

People rag on Buchanan for not stopping secession, but they forget that secession was not (and still isn’t) a clear cut constitutional question.

As for Andrew Johnson, the only negative I’ve ever heard against him was “he was too nice to the South” which seems like a rather dumb argument to me.

[Elisha Miller @EJColMill]

And people wonder why I pushed back on saying Trump is the “most conservative” or “greatest” president.

He did a lot of great things in term 1, but this term he’s been all over the place

[Elisha Miller @EJColMill]

This is true, but any reform is just kicking the problem a couple decades down the road.

The fact is Social Security was a horrible idea from the start, can’t be sustained indefinitely, and frankly needs to be gradually phased out.

[Frank Luntz @FrankLuntz]

Social Security needs reform, but neither party is willing to take the lead on doing so.

If we continue doing nothing, Social Security payouts will be cut automatically by 24% in 2032… That’s only two presidential elections away.

You’re a moron who seems to think money materializes out of thin air… no wonder you’re in Congress.

[Ruben Gallego @RubenGallego]

Lift the cap on Social Security payroll tax. This will take care of the problem. Next Dem trifecta has to do this immediately.

[Elisha Miller @EJColMill]

A fetus fits all scientific classifications of human life and has distinct DNA.

Which means your entire definition of personhood isn’t based on fact but on subjective personal valuation and how much you care. Which, frankly, means you don’t actually value life at all.

[jezz @JezziiB]

Disabled PEOPLE are worthy of life, and healthcare, and love, and care.

A fetus is not a person.

[Elisha Miller @EJColMill]

Feminism is a despicable lie that must be rejected.

One of its biggest lies is that feminism = women’s rights, but they are not the same.

[Let's Make Sense 🇺🇸 @ElectNikkiHaley]

The reason we think abortion is a woman's right is because radical feminists have been pushing a dehumanization campaign for decades.

Realpolitik sucks though, and it did nothing but perpetuate the Cold War without bringing it any closer to an end.

[David Limbaugh @DavidLimbaugh]

On Iran, though, I have to remind myself to keep the noise out and remember that Trump does engage in realpolitik and he is fully aware of Iran’s diabolical intentions. We don’t have all the information, especially as to what he’s thinking or planning. I believe this will be OK.

[Elisha Miller @EJColMill]

@Geiger_Capital The #1 attack against Netanyahu domestically right now is that he’s a Trump stooge… so saying that kind of makes it impossible for Netanyahu to oblige

[Elisha Miller @EJColMill]

Why am I not upset by Israel’s strikes when Trump said it could ruin negotiations?

Two reasons:

1) Israel isn’t the US and an agreement between us and Iran will never be binding to Israel unless Israel itself is involved

2) The US wouldn’t sit by and refuse to respond if we were hit domestically, so why do we expect any other nation to do so?

[Elisha Miller @EJColMill]

It amazes me that people who complain about Israel constant say “it’s an independent country that should take care of itself” always complain when Israel actually does take care of itself.

[Vivid.🇮🇱 @VividProwess]

I’ve supported President Trump for years, and I will always continue to do so because I believe in him. But to be honest, I just don’t get it.

Why’s he so stubborn about making a deal with an Islamic terror regime that wants both Israel and America destroyed?

What am I missing?

[Eyal Yakoby @EYakoby]

Israel was attacked by Iran.

They are unilaterally responding to those strikes.

Not requesting American support.

There is literally nothing to be mad about.

[Elisha Miller @EJColMill]

Conveniently ignores the part about Iran attacking Israel

[Geiger Capital @Geiger_Capital]

Israel just bombed Iran, in direct defiance of Trump saying not to do it…

They do not want a deal.

Trump was pulled into this war and now he can’t get out. Took over his entire 2nd term.
