I'm leaving Twitter, for the indefinite future. The reason is simple: this site is becoming more like Gab every day. It's a font of hatred, lies, and harassment. And while it's never been great, at least it had its uses. No longer. At least not for me. /1

By the way, the porn affairs and hush money payments by themselves are enough for me to never, ever vote for Trump. And that’s just one thing, of many. I remember the days, like way back in, say, May 2015, when that would have been a consensus Evangelical position.

1. When you wear the uniform, you pledge to respond to a crisis with courage. 2. Some people will fail that test. 3. That failure is human but still must be punished. 4. But make that judgment with humility. Because none of us knows our true character until it’s tested.

He’s talking about a guy with three Purple Hearts, two silver stars, and who commanded 24th ID in Desert Storm, leading the attack that led to one of the most decisive military victories in American history. This is such a sad and shameful attack on an honorable man.

Your entire time in military leadership we won zero wars. You drank fine wine at bullshit security conferences while thousands of working class kids died on the battlefield. Oh, by the way, how much do you stand to gain financially from a war with Russia, Barry?

I haven’t conducted a cross-examination since 2014. But if I couldn’t walk a witness through the transcript of Trump’s call with Zelensky and demonstrate to a jury that a quid pro quo was likely, then I should just hang up my suit. The evidence is there.

I'm seeing a lot of people calling the strike on Suleimani an "assassination." Some are even bringing up Reagan's EO 12333, prohibiting assassinations. Killing an enemy commander, in a war zone, with a military strike conducted under the law of war is not an "assassination."

Defamation isn’t protected speech. The message sent is that lying about the parents of murdered children has legal consequences, including compensatory and punitive damages. It’s basic American law, not “Regime” retaliation.

I took a deep dive into the Ahmaud Arbery killing in Georgia, including examining the unbelievable "citizen's arrest" defense that would empower modern-day armed posses. My conclusion? Arrest the killers. Now.

A Vigilante Killing in Georgia

The right to make a ‘citizen’s arrest’ isn’t a license to kill.

To those in MAGAworld who denigrate Biden's performance because he was "reading it" or on a teleprompter, I'm old enough to remember when Trump botched his most important prepared address, from the Oval Office, at the onset of the pandemic, causing confusion across the globe.

At the end of the day, this is true: Everything we know about leadership, Republicans threw away. Everything we know about character, Republican Christians threw in the garbage. They grievously hurt this nation. They grievously hurt their neighbors. May God have mercy.

Nope. Nope. Nope. Iran launched a missile strike against our own troops, and then blundered by shooting down a civilian airliner when it wasn't even under attack. That's the story. This is on Iran.

In the pro-life party right now... A shocking number of pro-life Republicans - who rightly ask women to carry children to term because life is so precious - aren't willing to endure the tiny inconvenience of wearing a piece of cloth on their faces to save others.

Dear Trump evangelicals. It looks like Trump has now been caught lying to you about paying off a porn star to silence reports about an affair shortly after his son was born. He had an affair. He paid hush money. He lied about it. Let that sink in. Is that your man?

"What began with a drone attack" No. Tell that to the families of hundreds of slain Americans, to his tens of thousands of victims across the region. The strike on Suleimani was completely justified. Iran's tragic incompetence with its own missiles is its own fault.

“This is insane. Sickening. Imagine having a family member on that plane.” What began with a drone attack on a top Iranian general rippled outward until dozens of Iranian-Canadians, and dozens of Iranian students studying in Canada, were dead.

Our president is allegedly so concerned with transparent financial dealings and rooting out "corruption" that he urges even a communist regime to investigate his political foes. Yet he won't release his own tax returns. And most of the congressional GOP seems just fine with that

One other thing I’d note in all the hate against the Covington kid: We have an adult banging his drum inches from a kid’s face. Putting aside political biases and just focusing on decency — who is more responsible for defusing a tense situation, the adult or the kid?

Apparently, the MAGA line is it's not wrong for Trump to lie about Raffensperger and to press him to break the law. Instead, it's somehow wrong to expose Trump. So it's ok for Trump to "fight" with lies, but it's not ok to fight back with truth? That's not how this works.

The demonization of gun rights advocates is not going to have the intended effect. The gun-owners I know aspire to be the kind of people who would lay down their lives for others. The jeering and screaming slanders their character and strengthens their resolve.
