As POTUS continues to debate conflict with Iran, the odd similarities with the Vietnam war continue, as I’ve personally thought this admin wanted a conflict due to ideology. 🧵

I’d place a beer bet someone is getting charged by the DOJ

I don’t see how the next admin isn’t forced to disband certain 3-letter agencies.

People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

This entire public health issue is going to rubber band on Gen alpha/ beta. Gen X has successfully 4D into big pharma- those who want vaxs, can’t. Polio, mumps and numerous others will have a field day. Big pharma won’t cover vaxs because of no mandate.

I’m going to continue to talk about the disconnect post Great Recession. Following this, the lesson from many wasn’t that Main Street was suffering, it’s that *if Wall Street does well enough, you can simply ignore Main Street.

I don’t make hot takes, but it is apparent from watching “ Born on the 4th of July”, which is a good movie, that Massapequa is a segregated town. What’s funny is a movie like this would be praised today for “ traditional” values, while not understanding the clear issues.

The optics are bad and destruction of property isn’t to be accepted; however, where does this admin throttle down?We’ve federalized the guard, and placed active duty troops into a city- this won’t simply stop, nor should anyone think another admin won’t do the same.

Remember that several people asked Pam Bondi during confirmation SPECIFICALLY what she would do on matters pertaining to Qatar (which she did not disclose) or GEO (pertinent to the Baraka arrest). She said she'd consult top career lawyer at DOJ abt recusal.
Then she fired that lawyer.
Then she fired that lawyer.
