For those unconditionally cheering the attacks on Iran, remember that our early strikes in Afghanistan and Iraq were “successful”. But we ended up getting dragged into costly wars that created more terrorists than we killed. The American people haven’t forgotten that.

I know you can’t stand either one of these clowns, but please sit back and enjoy Tucker Carlson steamroll Ted Cruz over his Iran ignorance. It’s like watching two snakes fight and still rooting for the venom. Clearly, Tuckums planned this, and Cancun Cruz walked right into his trap.

Seeing this like this may become more common if ICE isnt going to show badges or warrants. How should anyone know this is a legit agent/officer? Zero professionalism and zero awareness of laws. ICE and similar agencies are setting up people for failure and endangering LEOs and civilians alike.

Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.

Let's be clear: Trump is thinking of entering a war against Iran without Congressional authorization or legal basis because his birthday parade was a dud and he thinks the war will produce arousing pictures for him to look at on Fox News.

C-SPAN caller to Tapper: "When are you going to examine what's going on with Trump? ... this president has been pure chaos, which indicates to me that there is something wrong with him. We will never get a straight answer on his medical exam, and yet you have gone after Joe Biden with a vengeance."

Hey there Scott Walker. I noticed you deleted this after learning that in fact the shooter was from the right. I don’t think it matters either way, violence is violence, so I’m waiting for you to tweet the same thing with corrected facts? Cuz you’re uh, to use your words, “being silent.”

Obama’s tan suit was “unpresidential.” Trump’s got indictments, convictions, and a multimillion-dollar ego parade down Pennsylvania Ave using the army as props, and somehow still gets treated like royalty. Black man wears beige = huge scandal. White man burns it all down = throw him a parade.

🧵 I argue that we can understand the functioning of democracy through 3 core ideals, verification, deliberation and accountability. While no democracy fully achieves those ideals, this thread explains how MAGA destroys all three and inevitably results in democratic regression into authoritarianism.
