Just for fun, let's take Trump's disquisition on the Battle of Gettysburg seriously. 🧵

1st, why does he bring it up? To flatter the Pennsylvania audience. Hey, you've got Gettysburg. I like Gettysburg! 'Gettysburg, wow.'

2nd, he decides he has to explain. Hoo boy.

There has been quite a bit of conservative criticism of the US Intelligence Community for not detecting & preventing the Oct. 7 attacks (while ignoring Israel's failures).

Yet after the IC's (& DOD's) stellar performance in the lead up to yesterday's attacks, it's crickets.

Please remember that most of the so-called “experts” have no fucking idea what they’re talking about right now.

In 2 years, Ukraine – with less than 3% of our defense budget – has effectively eliminated:

87% of Russia’s preexisting ground forces
63% of their tank capacity
32% of their armored personnel carriers

…all without endangering a single American or NATO soldier.

I’ve said it before on here, and I’m gonna say it again: it doesn’t matter whether you believe in climate change, only that the insurance industry does

Foreign policy implications aside, I just can't imagine the guilt of knowing that thousands of innocent Ukrainians would die as a result of my decision to do nothing, especially if I was only doing it to appease Donald Trump and MTG.

Speaker Mike Johnson, this stain won't wash away.
