@kevincorke @SeizeTheNae Where’s Mike Tirico?

@SeizeTheNae Keith then Vin… There are a quite a number of greats on this list (and a few notables missing).

Who’s the greatest play-by-play voice of all time? A. Vin Scully B. Al Michaels C. Mike Breen D. Keith Jackson E. Chick Hearn F. Marv Albert G. Kevin Harlan H. Pat Summerall

@MWavy06 @MiDiamondDave @mrddmia For sure. ⬆️ I’ve dealt with politicians on local & national levels for years. Still know some key people in Congress, etc. and I wouldn’t trust any of them, Trump included. Throw dollars their way and all honor, patriotism, sense of duty & common sense in general disappears.

@YepConcerned @MiDiamondDave @mrddmia

@MWavy06 @MiDiamondDave @mrddmia You win. Of all the responses to this post, you missed the point COMPLETELY! You MAGAts have your triggers & when you see them you laser focus on 1) name calling; 2) repeating scripted rhetoric; & 3) saying/posting idiotic things! Way to go, Dude! Congrats on winning the day!

@MWavy06 @MiDiamondDave @mrddmia My background: Republican, born/raised in Wyoming hunting & fishing. No problem with guns. Birthright issue matters little to me. But, there’s a divide in US not seen before. SUPCO will change when Dems control & 2A will be a target. It will be changed if precedent exists.

@YepConcerned @MiDiamondDave @mrddmia Thanks. With which points do you disagree?

@MWavy06 @MiDiamondDave @mrddmia Good post. Don’t agree with it, but thanks for the civility.

Couple of things... 1. The 14th Amendment was patently written to address slaves & descendants. Globalists have avoided direct litigation deliberately, while stoking unrest, to keep it ambiguous & emotional in the minds of low-information voters... to facilitate the very immigration abuse we've seen in recent decades. Court opinions have also implied that birthright citizenship is applicable only in cases where parents were in the USA legally. It's preposterous to consider legislative intent to create such a perverse incentive as "anchor babies," and I hope that SCOTUS brings its A-game to PERMANENTLY shut down the gamesmanship. 2. The 2A has no such ambiguity and SCOTUS has a long precedent of defending it. 3. Points 1 & 2 above render your initial admonishment ridiculous.

@MWavy06 @MiDiamondDave @mrddmia No. I’m saying if the Supremes rule the birthright amendment is outdated because of Trump’s case (which seems unlikely based on last week’s arguments), then a more liberal SUPCO (which will happen) could use that precedent to change the 2nd Amendment. Be careful what you wish for

@YepConcerned @MiDiamondDave @mrddmia Were you suggesting that there's an implicit variable scale component to the 2nd Amendment based on technological advancement of weaponry?

@YepConcerned @MiDiamondDave @mrddmia Dude, are you seriously attempting such a reeee-tarded canard?

The Supreme Court will torch its legitimacy if/when it hands out birthright citizenship to Chinese birth tourists. No question. And legitimacy is all the Court has. Let’s hope the Republican justices value our nation’s sovereignty more than their own vanity. I’m not hopeful.

@Koryu_Ninja @MiDiamondDave @mrddmia As brilliant as they were, there’s no way they could have anticipated how advanced our world has become. That being said, my point is if we change the Constitution, especially in terms of intent, it will open up Pandora’s Box and possibly contribute to a more divided nation.

@YepConcerned @MiDiamondDave @mrddmia Actually, they already had prototype machine guns in their era, & explicitly allowed for civilian ownership of FULLY ARMED WARSHIPS. It's frankly absurd and ahistorical in the extreme to believe the framers wanted people to have access to CANNONS but not a gun that shoots faster.

@MiDiamondDave @mrddmia Reread the post. It has to do with changing the Constitution.

Birthright citizenship has nothing to do with guns, or killing babies, which will be your next deflection. Sell me on why birth tourism and other people coming into this country illegally to have a child is good for the country. "MAGA" doesn't want guardrails, I do. Yes, I think things through myself and actually think guardrails on this topic is common sense. People like you don't. Whatever.

@MiDiamondDave @mrddmia Careful what you wish for. MAGA wants “guardrails” on the Constitution for birthright citizenship because the framers didn’t envision this issue. They also didn’t envision AR-15’s when the 2nd Amendment was written for muskets. For every action there’s an equal opposite reaction.

Birthright citizenship with no guardrails makes zero sense. How did this country end up with a Supreme Court that fails the basic common sense test so often? The United States will never be the same again. It's one fail after another, and most citizens are not paying attention or just fall for the activist news propaganda. Sad

@upwithusvegas @RalstonReports @RepSusieLee True. As the Leader of the Free World, Trump’s is much worse.

@RalstonReports @RepSusieLee Not at all the same. We recognize the difference. Are you in cognitive decline? Your acuity must be examined if you can’t tell the difference.

Man, that vulgar tweet last week by @RepSusieLee was disqualifying, many Republicans said here. Just disgusting. Outrageous even. Look forward to hearing from them about this:

@kananipueo @mzator16 @BernieSanders @Lenny_knowsalot Fact: I voted for Kamala. Fact: you call people you don’t know dirty names because you’re a rage poster. Fact: that’s why you’re just like Trump. Go feed your cat.

@YepConcerned @mzator16 @BernieSanders @Lenny_knowsalot Fuck you, bc I swear you make that comparison? BC I point out the BS you spew. If You didn't literally vote for Kamala then you 100% Voted for the Rapist. The system isn't that complicated by the time you vote for prez. 2 choices. anything else was a vote for the Pedophile

One month after starting the war in Iran, this is the statement of the President of the United States on Easter Sunday. These are the ravings of a dangerous and mentally unbalanced individual. Congress has got to act NOW. End this war.

@kananipueo @mzator16 @BernieSanders @Lenny_knowsalot I’m not defending Trump. I didn’t vote for him. I’m comparing you to Trump and you rage post just like him.

@YepConcerned @mzator16 @BernieSanders @Lenny_knowsalot "moderate realist"?? not even a little bit you ignoramus. Trump is a convicted Rapist Felon & is a Fqn pedophile so no I don't fucking compromise about MF Convicted Criminals. You are 100% 1 of the AHs who got us here defending a fqn RAPIST FELON. I call you what you are -TRAITOR

@kananipueo @mzator16 @BernieSanders @Lenny_knowsalot Gotcha’. You’re as fanatical about your side as the MAGAts are about theirs. No, I’m the moderate realist who understands compromise is best for the country & neither party has produced the leadership we need for quite some time. You like to call people names. Just. Like. Trump.

@YepConcerned @mzator16 @BernieSanders @Lenny_knowsalot Most liberal old lady you'll ever meet, not a drop of fqn maga in me but thx for trying twat. You are not "on my side' as I Never Once thought Biden was mentally challenged bc he Never WAS! Bet You are the 3rd party voter who walked us right into the fascist nightmare aren'tcha..

@kananipueo @mzator16 @BernieSanders @Lenny_knowsalot I’m on your side. That was a comparison they’ll understand. Don’t believe me? Look at my tweets. Calling me a “twat” is very MAGA. Happy Easter.

@YepConcerned @mzator16 @BernieSanders @Lenny_knowsalot If that's what you think then you mental health status should be checked. Biden was never"mentally challenged"you smooth brain twat. the RapistFelonPedophile has been evil his whole life& demented for the past decade or more. Not that hard to see if your face isn't up his ass

@GRBillion @EVHarris22 @HarmeetKDhillon Jesus took action. Trump took action, but is raging because he realizes his action has gotten us into something we won’t soon get out of.

@EVHarris22 @HarmeetKDhillon Is this what you would say about Jesus turning over tables and kicking out merchants from the temple?! Was He imbalanced, or serious and took action?!

OMG 😱 😆

@CGasparino @ApexAlphaTrader When will you grow tired of kissing rings?

@ApexAlphaTrader you look like you have a spine made of dust. just saying..

Ummmm....people like Chris Murphy told the world that Joe Biden wasn't a senile old man occupying the White House with his feeble finger on the proverbial button, unaware of millions pouring across the border, or what day it was, etc etc., but somehow they think that Trump spouting off about what might happen to the Mullahs if they keep holding the world hostage represents some existential crisis. Not buying it

@mzator16 @BernieSanders @Lenny_knowsalot It’s appropriate to compare Trump to Biden in this case. Trump is now as mentally challenged as Biden is.

@BernieSanders @Lenny_knowsalot Did you forget Biden’s tweet on Easter a few years ago about national transgender day of recognition??? While you people worry about the feelings of transgenders our current president is making the world safer you ass hole.

@CornPop11006292 @RonFilipkowski @IngrahamAngle Repost it or you’re lying.

@RonFilipkowski @IngrahamAngle Ron you're out of your effort mind. I just read a post with that contains snippets of 26 liberal posts wishing for the opposite outcome. Get your head out of your ass.

DEMENTED: As most of us celebrate the rescue of our WSO (Weapons System Officer), the Left is disappointed.

@MarkThomaslll @ChuckMuth Apparently you’re right. A few Nevada Republicans have been caught voting twice. Sarcastic enough for you?

@ChuckMuth Nevada voting is corrupted and the people voted for voter ID and AG ford is defying the vote and voice of Nevadans

We’re not a “democracy.” We’re a republic. And you want to be our AG?

@21stBjc @MaMoMVPY That’s funny. Trump doesn’t even speak in complete sentences. Exactly what direction did Trump set in his speech about the Iran conflict?

@MaMoMVPY Words are the tools of manipulation/deceit coming from the mouths of ill-intentioned politicians who don’t ACT consistent w their silver-tongued rhetoric. I’ve been a professional writer & LOVE speeches that capture truth clearly and set direction accordingly — like Trump does.

JFK had Theodore Sorensen (“Ask not what your country can do for you…”), Reagan had Peggy Noonan (“slipped the surly bonds of earth to touch the face of God”), Bush had David Frum (“Axis of Evil”), and Obama had Jon Favreau (“Yes we can.”). All presidential speechwriters who helped craft speeches that entered world history. Speechwriters matter. When an important message must be delivered to a nation and to the world, it has to be conveyed with the right political substance, at the appropriate level for a president, and in a way that can be remembered. Speeches are particularly important when a nation must be brought together, when support for a cause must be built. That is why such speeches carry a certain sense of solemnity. And it is also why they are preserved for posterity. When the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded just 73 seconds after launch in 1986, it shocked the American nation. Peggy Noonan wrote President Reagan’s address — a speech that comforted, encouraged, and honoured the fallen astronauts — and which was delivered as only a statesman could. And that brings me to today. A few days ago, Donald Trump was due to address the American nation. The United States is at war. In such moments, a president speaks to the nation and to the world — typically at the outset of a conflict. Yet more than a month has passed. I set out to find the speech, to see how it had actually been written. But on the White House website, there are no speeches to be found — only short, stilted video clips from various events. There are no written records for the history books. Why does this matter? Because it illustrates something fundamental: the absence of a coherent articulation of vision and strategy. It is precisely through speeches that leaders communicate their plans and direction. Trump’s “speeches”, by contrast, are often little more than a stream of words without a clear thread. This week’s address on Iran could have been different. I have found video clips and a transcript via the Associated Press, but not the speech as a coherent, official document. Writing a speech is a collective process. The central message and its significance are defined first, before the text is drafted, refined, and aligned. That is how it has traditionally been done in the United States. Or rather, that is how it used to be done. Today, it is not even clear who writes Trump’s speeches. What is clear is that they rarely convey a consistent message. And that is the point: when the speeches themselves are absent — or lack structure and coherence — it suggests the absence of a clearly communicated vision.
