⁦@washingtonpost⁩ finally found an area where they can agree government can be petty, cruel, & unfeeling to decent, honest Americans. They slept through Covid but they are eager to join the club now. https://t.co/pjCBtNlgRR — PolitiTweet.org

70 years ago today, 13-year-old Jimmy Boyd released “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus.” It was banned on some stations as risqué, until the boy flew to Boston to explain on air that Santa was his dad. Imagine a time when THAT was the creepiest thing in pop culture. — PolitiTweet.org

The madness that compelled the Left to censor dissent regarding Covid is doing the same with discussions of energy, race, Ukraine, Hunter Biden, & sexuality. The trend continues. — PolitiTweet.org

True of those mildly skeptical of governmental action. “Everyone” includes those who trust, or willfully ignore the tell-tale signs. You can’t just win over the converted. You must keep “breaking” this news to bring along the slow to question. More of them than you think. — PolitiTweet.org

THIS is the question. — PolitiTweet.org

Worthwhile thread, if disturbing. It further proves the Left silences dissent. They do not want truth, or “science”. They want monopolistic dominance over “fact” & opinion. Using Twitter as their agent of agent, on Covid they got it. The truth they did hide, and people died. — PolitiTweet.org

Jeans over sweatpants. A shirt over a shirt, with a sweatshirt over that, then a jacket. For a midday game in . . . Miami. This is nuts. 2 Houston boys playing for the Dolphins: Episcopal grad @D1__JW & Pearland’s own @tommorstead. @MiamiDolphins https://t.co/aclPYTAdrL — PolitiTweet.org

A yr ago today, career honor, getting to fill in for @clayandbuck on 1st Christmas Eve (Rush’s favorite) since he left us too soon. Ramon, Jim, Chad & I couldn’t believe our luck. @ClayTravis & @BuckSexton are great guys. Fun din with Buck this week, along w @karol & @Harlan. https://t.co/ldfJ6e3sFG — PolitiTweet.org

Uber gives an option to donate to “keep Ukraine moving” when you hail a ride. Interestingly, Ethiopian drivers are likely one of the largest nationalities of drivers, & I never saw any opportunity on Uber to donate during a brutal civil war. — PolitiTweet.org

True. All the ills can be blamed on global warming, racism, the unvaccinated, guns, January 6, Trump, election deniers, parents speaking at school boards, the police, insufficient minimum wage, inadequate pay for women, & binary sexuality. The only cure is spending more money. — PolitiTweet.org

Proved she had more in common with — and more affinity for — Democrats in DC than her voters Wyoming. She’s not unique, she just got exposed. Kinzinger is the same. Romney, same. Actually, worse. — PolitiTweet.org

The Liz Cheney phenomenon is worthy of further review. Out of touch — even at complete odds — with her district. Likely always was. So how was she elected? Endorsements. Money. The gloss of greatness. Bushes, Cheneys, big names. She proved she hated her district. She (1/2) — PolitiTweet.org

Pete Rose was banned from baseball for (allegedly) betting on games. Yet, congressmen (many of them Republican) buy stocks for companies highly affected by congressional regulation, including inside information). Baseball must be pure, but not government? Okay, then. — PolitiTweet.org

All by which to say that the ONLY way to take back our party & government is to organize & consolidate efforts. There has to be a vehicle to recruit, develop, train, fund, mail, digital, & other winning strategies. Otherwise, the Swamp Republicans always own the process. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Berry @MichaelBerrySho

Relying on independent outgrowth of good candidates able to challenge is quixotic. There have to be money & resources available (Trump replaces this by conferring publicity & followers). First-timers winning without money is almost impossible. All these converge to boost Swamp. https://t.co/P67JogTRCO — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Berry @MichaelBerrySho

There has to be some sort of joining of forces to recruit & fund candidates to beat McConnell & the Establishment. Trump’s been the closest to building this, with sometimes poor candidate choices that hurt credibility. This makes Trump more than just a candidate, he’s a force. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Berry @MichaelBerrySho

This is also true in presidential races. Jeb! was chosen for 16. He broke fundraising records. Forget beating Hillary in Nov 16. Trump beating Jeb! in the R primary (humiliating him) in 16 infuriated the Establishment. THAT is when they declared a silent war on MAGA voters. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Berry @MichaelBerrySho

Beat Democrats in the general instead. So the Establishment guy wins the primary easily. Everyone closes ranks & helps him beat the Dem in November. THIS is 80% of Republican congressmen. This is why Tea Party/MAGA scare them. This game is VERY OLD. Know your place, peasants. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Berry @MichaelBerrySho

Showing the insider guy wins easily, based on his name ID, while the new guy can’t win (see Dewhurst v Cruz, early 2012). Money guys throw more $ at the Establishment guy, who buys more advertising, builds his name ID & (false) image more. Few vote in the primary, eager to — PolitiTweet.org

2 years out, their guy has all the endorsements, which leads the Chamber of Commerce crowd to give the money. The appearance of winning (money, endorsements) keeps others out, dries up the cash. By the time a decent outsider gets in, the hill is steep. A poll is released — PolitiTweet.org

supposed conservatism, love of flags, prayer in schools, balanced budgets, etc.). They use their stable of other officeholders to throw the endorsements to give credibility, just as publishers have their famous authors write a glowing comment for the book jacket of the new guy. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Berry @MichaelBerrySho

Republican Party picks their cong candidates 2 yrs before next election. When an officeholder is ready to cash in & lobby, they groom his chief of staff or spouse, so they keep control. They fund him. They groom him.They gloss him up, write his story (family, background (thread) — PolitiTweet.org

“Cold” “Hard” Interesting chose of words. “Our” “support” is “morally right.” What other “American interests” might we identify? Our southern border, perhaps? — PolitiTweet.org

It is not enough that they howl with laughter at the voters who hate these insider deals. Their very position was granted by those voters, who they now defy in darkness. The deeper insult, though, is claiming for themselves bravery & honor at having done so. — PolitiTweet.org
