I am going to formally endorse @realDonaldTrump. I came to this decision some time ago as many @X followers have already understood from my supportive posts of Trump and my criticisms of @POTUS Biden.
The reason why I have not yet formally done so is that I want to explain my thinking in detail and address the arguments put forth by others against Trump. I want to make the case thoughtfully and convincingly.
Today, when one announces an intention to support Trump, Biden supporters who know me tend to assume that I have lost it. I assure you that I have made this decision carefully, rationally, and by relying on as much empirical data as possible.
It will take a long-form post to explain my thinking. I might even break my own record. I just haven’t had the time nor felt the urgency to write the post as we are still a few months from the election.
I am explaining my conclusion now in response to many questions I have received on the topic so that I am formally on the record.
You of course don’t need to care about my opinion so feel free not to read my post when it appears. That said, I believe the upcoming presidential election is one of the most consequential elections in my lifetime so I am taking the proper time to articulate observations that I will share widely and for which I assume an important responsibility.
I have had the benefit of spending a few hours recently with President Trump so I will have some first hand observations to share.
As always, I respect everyone’s right to form and share their own views on this important topic.
Please keep an open mind on the upcoming presidential election. Bear in mind that your views on Trump have likely been dramatically affected if you have sourced your info on Trump from mainstream media or friends or family who have relied on mainstream media as a source of knowledge.
We have all recently learned in the starkest manner (the debate) how we cannot rely on the MSM as our source of truth on the ultimate political question.
Remember, media organizations are like sports teams that run plays chosen by their owners and executed by the coaches they hire. They are not unbiased arbiters of the truth.

The FBI has a ~35,842 person staff. 56% of the bureau that are professional bureaucrats should be fired immediately. Just 44% of FBI employees are special agents & intelligence analysts—these 15,770 specialists should be reassigned to serve under the narrow focus of other federal law enforcement agencies doing the same specialist work.

@shanebacon So if we wanna roll the tech back to 20 years, why not roll it allll back so we can be stuck in the old days. Get rid of shotlink, no streaming of tournaments, dial up internet only on site, maybe come up with stroke limits per hole to make sure it’s fair for everyone. So dumb!
Gus Edwards is on PUP and will miss four weeks. As for JK Dobbins, #Ravens coach John Harbaugh said about Week 1: “If JK can go, I look at it now, it would be great. If not, we’ve got the guys that’ll play.”
Now, more reinforcements on the way with Kenyan Drake.

How about “ Dwayne Haskins, son, husband, buckeye brother, friend, beloved teammate has passed away” TF his career ups and downs have to do with him unfortunately losing his life🤦🏾♂️ STFU! Let his family & friends grieve instead of throwing shade. Praying for the Haskins family!!
I never got the opportunity to meet him but, I am absolutely devastated to learn of Dwayne Haskins passing.
24 yrs old, w/ his whole life still in front of him…gone in an instant.
My thoughts are w/ everybody in his circle of family, friends, & teammates.
Fly high brother
Pat McAfee is incredible. What a performance at WrestleMania. Punters are wrestlers, too. Hopefully he recovers (at some point) from the beatings McMahon and Stone Cold gave him 🍺
