HIGH IMPACT TWEETS AND THREADS:
In response to the pervasive media campaign headed by
@nytimes
against President Biden, demanding he step down based on incorrect reporting and innuendo:
BIDEN IS FINE!
Look at Biden's Walter Reed Medical Reports to see the petsistemt lies press like the
@nytimes
and
@CNN
foist upon their audiences.
He does not have Parkinson's. He does not have dementia. In contrast, Trump has released NO MEDICAL RECORDS.

@mindyisser
That's a big bill. Most average Americans would go bankrupt from a bill like that. Civilized countries provide affordable or free health care.
Your comment is both cruel and elitist.
@MalcolmNance
@mindyisser
Yes I did. I've also lived in Australia, Serbia, France, and Canada. Health care should not cost over $4,000 like this. America can and should do better.
The total bill is not the issue. In fact, compared to the rest of the world, US care prices are vastly overinflated.
@lawofruby
IMO the strategy is based on a recognition Trump is unable to campaign. That he can't give live speeches any more due to cognitive decline. So they're creating delays in court in order to justify keeping him off the campaign trail. He'll do only ads and controlled media events.
@reason
Felons were given the right to vote by constitutional ammendment some years back. Conservatives didn't like that. So they crafted a law requiring felons pay all debts before they could vote, then saddled them with impossible debt peonage in prison.
@KyivIndependent
This is a clear indication Putin has concluded his own Russian forces are not enough to secure Ukraine, so he's bringing in Belarusian troops to help. Something he probably never expected would be needed. I wonder if Belarus' troops are even less enthused than Russia's.
@stealthygeek
I think this media pile-on can be lain at the feet of Abagail Disney, and maybe some other Democratic mega donors, who don't want the higher taxes Biden proposes. Media were easy to co-opt, because they want more conflict and Biden is a boring policy wonk. Also,

Americans are gaslit by corporate America. Healthcare is but one small part of the economy elites have rigged to steal vast wealth from both citizens and the sovereign.
I support regulated capitalism. But what we have isn't that. Real poverty in the US is shocking.
@jonsoltz
The hope is continued weapons supply to Ukraine will burn Russia out and leave them unable or unwilling to fight a broader war in Europe. All without NATO firing a shot or risking strategic nuclear war.
You're arguing we're here already. Fiona Hill does too. I hope that's wrong.
@lawofruby
Would there have been reason to object to this line of questioning? Especially if defense didn't introduce evidence of the FBI having altered those recordings. Such as their own copy showing alterations.

To be fair to Lewinsky, she was a subordinate staffer and the President was the leader of the free world. That's quite the power disparity. She faced decades of public misogyny. Should he have been impeached and removed? It was sexual harassment. But GOP moralizing was too much.

They're arming their supporters in preparation for another coup attempt or worse.
Don't kid yourself. There's no principled stand here. It's preparation.

Get out while you still can! An iron curtain will soon fall and just like in the Soviet Union it won't be to keep people from coming in. They want to prevent people from fleeing out. Remember, the fall of the Berlin Wall begin when East Germans fled through open Czechoslovakia.

Conservatives no longer hold positions with philosophical continuity. They do the bidding of their financial backers and work backwards to a narrative that sounds good in the moment, but twists logic into pretzel sophistry when considering tradition and 2nd order consequences.

Biden stepped up and behaved responsibly in the wake of this tragedy. And it is tragic for the families of those who lost loved ones. But Biden was Presidential. And the contrast of that to Trump golfing actually gave Biden a boost, IMO.
@joshtpm
If SCOTUS rules in favor of these arguments, it will force Biden to either hand absolute power to an unelected minority or take extra-constitutional measures to protect the republic.
A Sophie's Choice for an institutionalist like Biden.
@jeffjarvis
This is absolutely correct.
Congressional Dems are threatening to splinter their own coalition here. And why? Because oligarch donors demand they do.
Why do we think these PAC donors don't already know this and are secretly in the tank for Trump over tax policy?
@JoshuaPotash
@Velcroski
The problem is not police. Globally, police are much better and more professional than US police. The problem is that US police have no accountability and only act to safeguard their interests. Elsewhere in the world would guns would be regulated and cops expected to serve.
@NormOrnstein
It's been a pile on, being the ONLY story crowding out all others. Further, it was based on anonymous sources, ignoring actual medical records of Biden on the public record. And with a clear double standard about Trump, who has refused to release his medical records. 🤡

Honestly, this is not without precedent. I didn't fear that it would be cut; I feared that the lack of nuance in the conversation about the bond would leave people infuriated with a decision to reduce it. I have never agreed that he necessarily had to pay the

Article II Section IV clearly gives no immunity. Hamilton said no immunity in Federalist 77.
How does a court have the power to completely rewrite plain text of the US Constitution? Shouldn't that require a Constitutional Convention or Amendment?
This is a private citizen. You've intruded in this person's private life for your own self aggrandizement. He's rightfully frightened of people like you. This is harassment. And is exactly what's wrong with what Elon and Joe Rogan have done here. You own this horror show.
