Setting aside half the misinformation in this post, the Amish are also clearly a community that refuses to assimilate to American society.
And yet no one on the right seems to care. Curious.

@trippwhitbeck @rkylesmith All politicians are suspicious - they used it to destroy a good man who was not self aware to realize how his demeanor was depicted.
English
@rkylesmith Is that true? I didn't know that.
I was buddies with his Grandson (Chris Cox).
I always thought he was just consumed with paranoia, and if he could have controlled that, he would be revered as a great President, and not as a joke/cautionary tale

There’s still no evidence Nixon knew about the break-in before it happened.
David Axelrod@davidaxelrod
It's actually mind-boggling that @JDVance would say Watergate would be a "10 hour story" today. Just to review, Nixon's aides authorized a break-in of the DNC HQ to install bugging equipment--in a caper foiled by a night watchman, who called police. They then enlisted the CIA to mislead the FBI that the break-in was related to a probe of malign foreign actors. The entire operation was paid for by a slush fund controlled by the WH. The WH also enlisted the IRS to probe hundreds of Nixon's political enemies. The AG, the WH COS and several other top aides all were convicted and served time for their involvement in the crimes and coverup. Nixon was caught on his own secret tape system conspiring with them but was pardoned a month after he resigned by his successor, Gerald Ford. That Vance thinks this would be a "10 hour story" today speaks volumes about the moral and ethical degradation of the Trump era.

@BwasGoat44 @DefiantLs LBJ started the Laos bombing campaign and yes Nixon continued the attack, but do not rewrite the history of how awful LBJ was as a President. Awful
English
@CKGreen94 @DefiantLs Ok but when LBJ was planning to make a peace deal Nixon sabotaged it. Nixon also illegally spread the war into two other countries and dropped more bombs than any President since world war 2. He bombed Laos and its still literally the most bombed country per capita world history
English
VP Vance: If you look at the story of how the deep state took down Richard Nixon, it’s not all that different from what the same groups of people, the same institutions tried to do to Donald Trump.

@ChrisMartzWX If they cared about energy costs and “climate” then Nuclear power would be the answer. 🤦🏻♀️

I can’t stop thinking about this mistake.
Absolutely incredible, yet sad.

@BwasGoat44 @DefiantLs Prior to his death, JFK signed an order to remove the “advisors” from Vietnam- the first thing LBJ did was the cancel the order and to increase military presence and support in Vietnam.
English
@CKGreen94 @DefiantLs Nixon was a war hawk, he illegally told the South Vietnamese not to do a treaty to stop the war as a candidate to damage the democrats candidacy
Then as President he actually illegally expanded the war into two other countries
English
@BwasGoat44 @DefiantLs LBJ was the war hawk.
Your statement is inaccurate
English
@DefiantLs Nixon as a candidate illegally went behind LBJ’s back and pushed the south Vietnamese to keep the Vietnam war going which resulted in 10s of thousands more dead U.S. troops and 100s of thousands of deaths due to war.
He was a racist criminal through and through

@Parkerlawyer One day we were driving and my husband says “you have hot body” I was like wow that was so sweet of you to say that. He looks at me and says - what do you think I said? That I have hot body. He said ummm I said “there’s a Maserati.”
He mumbles 😝😜
English
I saw a happy birthday message on an interstate sign and I said, “Awww how sweet I didn’t know you could rent out those signs for messages like that! Why don’t you show out like that for me?”
Husband, “It said Happy 250th Birthday, America. Please go get your eyes checked.”

@unhealthytruth I did Invisalign about 13 years ago. My only regret is that I didn’t do it sooner!
I am so happy with the results!
English
These are my teeth today. I never had braces/ Invisalign etc.
They really do overlap on the bottom a lot if you look. When I talk, it looks so crooked.
Second pic is AI if they were straightened
Would you do Invisalign?😬
They say it gets worse as we age.
Maybe do it now?!

@Weltversunken @Barney_H_Y Totally! 💯 This is why I love to travel-you get to see the best of what everyone has to offer. * we just returned from a week in Munich- so beautiful! Absolutely exceeded my expectations. ❤️🎈
English
@CKGreen94 @Barney_H_Y I just wanted to put things in perspective. There are bad things here and bad things there. In a perfect world, we would have the interior design of American houses and the sturdiness of German architecture. 😅

What people in the US don’t understand about AC in Europe is just how much poorer Europeans are than Americans.
They can’t afford it. They can’t afford to install it, and they can’t afford to run it.
We have ancient housing stock not built for AC, which pushes up installation costs, plus sky-high energy bills that make it untenable for most.
Europe’s AC problem is the same as all its other problems: no economic growth + sky-high welfare spending = no capital for investment.

I asked Claude about the air conditioning debate in Europe, and it really didn’t pull any punches.
English
@Weltversunken @Barney_H_Y Sadly, you are correct about the above ground power lines. So ugly.
English
@Barney_H_Y It is a matter of preference. Like most Americans don’t own a sauna. Maybe they can’t afford to buy one. Wouldn't surprise me when I see how run down their infrastructure looks. The US is one giant parking lot with overhead power lines.

@mikitaposts Theft is a crime. Banks frown on that. As a leader she is expected to not only follow the law but the spirit of the law. It’s all about ethics.
English
I understand that theft is a crime, but why should she lose her job over that? On what basis was she fired? You do something cringe in public and you lose your job? That is so stupid

@AlexReimer1 This is such a dumb take. What you fail to realize is that this type of attack on people who is agree push’s more people away. Desecrating- wow such a try hard. 🤦🏻♀️
English
Players can abstain from wearing Pride hats all they want. The issue is desecrating the Pride hat and making a night about LGBTQ fans about yourself. Why haven’t any of these Giants players posted bible verses to oppose genocide, mass deportation or a litany of other atrocities?
Alex Griswold@HashtagGriswold
Wait, so the Pride hats were optional? Like it's not even true they were forced to wear them?

I proudly carried the real Iranian flag, the historic Lion and Sun, into the stadium in Los Angeles despite FIFA’s ban.
No ideological flag can take the place of our Lion and Sun.

Seeing so many videos of Europeans talking about how nice Americans are & how they don’t understand why we get a bad reputation.
I’ve seen some apologizing to us for having preconceived notions.
Bro, it’s the media. The media is never kind to America when they broadcast abroad. Hell, they ain’t even kind to us here.
But, it’s mostly the media that has caused such negative stereotypes about Americans.
It’s why there are so many Europeans who think that they don’t like us… until they come here 🥰
All Americans want is for yall to have the best time ever & we will absolutely help you do that!
