I am a Paine

@WalshFreedom I expect the GOP to moderate some. Vance is currently toast and Miller is quietly being sidelined and losing some influence. GOP toes the line, over principles. Gingrich showed them that power and unity is the path.

There ain’t gonna be a “civil war” in my former political party. Nope. It’s now the Trump/MAGA party. Period. And that ain’t changing in my lifetime.

@atmas_k @KevinBCPA @trouble_man90 Says the people who see no difference between Trump and Democrats. The lack of self-awareness from the DSA Lefties is profound.

@Rightsof_Man @KevinBCPA @trouble_man90 You don't even look at the policies for any of these platforms and lean on labels and boogyman tactics to form your world view. Sad and conservative.

I’m so disappointed in the Dems who are lining up behind Graham. To compromise your morals for this guy?? I guess they didn’t have any to begin with 🤷🏾‍♂️

@TaliGoldsheft @Cornell The students wanted to break ties for the Technion university hosting Tzipi Livni - a strong critic of Netanyahu. They have no desire to engage, listen, debate, learn. They offer Palestine nothing. It is just anti-Jew. x.com/Rightsof_Man/s…

Amazing letter by @Cornell President rejecting the resolution. Should be read by all: Dear Zora, Thank you for conveying SA Resolution 61: Calling for the Termination of Cornell University’s Partnership with the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology While Preserving Cornell Tech. I reject this resolution, which fundamentally conflicts with Cornell’s principles of academic collaboration and our core commitment to academic freedom. Cornell Tech is not a political entity. It is an academic partnership, created through shared investment by Cornell University, the Technion, and the City of New York for the benefit of the city and the state, according to a negotiated set of conditions that govern its development and the terms of its 99-year ground lease on Roosevelt Island. As one of Cornell University’s many international partnerships and collaborations, Cornell Tech deepens, enriches, and strengthens the ability of our students, faculty, and staff to pursue knowledge and advance the university’s academic mission. The Joan and Irwin Jacobs Technion-Cornell Institute, the core international partnership upon which Cornell Tech is based, is an extraordinarily valuable collaboration focusing on education and research in health tech, media tech, and urban tech, and supporting the development of new startup companies. Severing our relationship with the Technion—or with any entity affiliated with governments, institutions, or enterprises with which some of our community members disagree—as a statement of political protest, would not only hinder our research, teaching, and public engagement; it would imperil our academic principles. Our university, like all of our peer institutions, regularly faces pressure—from across the political spectrum, from within and beyond our own community—to make academic decisions according to political priorities. The phenomenon is not a new one: universities have grappled with such pressures from governments and societies for as long as the institution of the university has existed. When we yield to these pressures and proscribe specific collaborations or collaborators on grounds other than merit, we compromise our principles of academic freedom, undermine our own institutional excellence, and damage public trust in our work.   Moreover, this resolution inaccurately asserts that “the continued operation of Cornell Tech as a Cornell University campus does not require an ongoing partnership with the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology.” Cornell Tech, while part of Cornell, is a joint effort of the university, the Technion, and the City of New York. It is no more possible for Cornell to unilaterally terminate that effort and claim full control of the campus than it would be for the Technion or the City of New York to do the same. Finally, I am deeply troubled by the selective manner in which this resolution singles out the Technion, alone of Cornell’s many international partners, for censure. Cornell currently maintains 159 active agreements with institutions in 59 nations and regions; all of these institutions have some government affiliation, and many conduct research with military and security applications. Cornell itself has military research contracts, conducts research with potential military applications, and has relationships with companies whose products are used in military contexts. Cornell also has relationships with institutions in countries whose governments have been accused of human rights violations—as our own has been.  None of these publicly available facts are mentioned in the resolution; only our partnership with an Israeli institution is targeted for erasure. The political bias evident in this selective approach is deeply disturbing, and the resolution is incompatible with both the Student Assembly’s purpose and Cornell University’s core values. I reject it fully and forcefully. Sincerely,   Michael Kotlikoff President and Professor of Molecular Physiology Cornell University

@KevinBCPA @trouble_man90 FDR saved capitalism. The DSA are commie lovers. While I can find common ground on some of their policies, their embrace of commies, antisemites, oppressive regimes, ideological rigidity, omnicause, and aggressive and unproductive tactics are off-putting.

@Rightsof_Man @trouble_man90 If you are truly an FDR Dem, then DSA should be the lane you support. FDR was heavily pressured by the labor/union orgs in the US vs the owner class

@Filmantopia @shannonrwatts Voters are also sick of the Far Left as they just lost across the board. Making Israel your number one cause, embracing antisemitism, and targeting American Jews is not a winning strategy either.

@Rightsof_Man @shannonrwatts Voters are sick of Israel’s shit, so I don’t think what you’re saying is going to resonate.

The AIPAC tracker is antisemtic and shares disinformation. Hope this helps.

@shannonrwatts They wanted to cut ties for hosting Tzipi Livni who is a loud critic of Netanyahu. She resigned from his cabinet in '14. Strong supporter of democracy, diplomacy, & two state solution. They will not even listen. They don't do anything for Palestine. It is just anti-Jewish.

Rejected by Cornell’s president: “None of these publicly available facts are mentioned in the resolution; only our partnership with an Israeli institution is targeted for erasure. The political bias evident in this selective approach is deeply disturbing.” timesofisrael.com/cornell-studen…

@RigelOrionBeta @LinkofSunshine I despise Nentanyahu a lot longer than the "pro"-Palestinian crowd who has now been absorbed and embrace Hamas supporters. There is no moderation and there is nothing "pro"-Palestine about the movement. Inconsistencies all over as they support terrible regimes around the world

@Rightsof_Man @LinkofSunshine Israel is committing a genocide with our tax dollars. When will you guys make good faith arguments?

The Sunrise Movement has tweeted 78 times since their last tweet that was about the environment

@dropoutnation Blaming the Jews in the Middle East for a long history and complicated history for Global Warming....sigh. There are massive inequalites with Global Warming. Targeting and harassing American Jews is how you assholes destroyed a valid movement. e360.yale.edu/digest/worlds-…

The Israeli, U.S., U.K. and EU governments, in their genocide against Palestinian people (and in the ethnic cleansing against Iranian people), are literally destroying the ecology of the Middle East. Foreign policy is domestic policy and is also environmental policy.

@KevinBCPA @trouble_man90 I range from an FDR New Deal Liberal to supporting neoliberal trade policies (just like Obama) to wanting to deregulate and upzone housing since it is a command & control economy with massive investment into public transit. Hardly conservative.

@Rightsof_Man @trouble_man90 Which part of this definition is not economically conservative?

@KevinBCPA @trouble_man90 I am a Liberal. I only look conservative to communists. That is how radical the Left has become.

@Rightsof_Man @trouble_man90 I'm sorry to tell you this, but you are conservative (not a right winger, there's a difference) at least economically. The Dem party has completely allowed a take over via business interest & has very little interest in protecting workers & labor ,much less those that can't work

@Shadowcoder203 @trouble_man90 Depends on how you define success. While he lost in a landslide, his doctrinal purity and anti-establishment energy shaped the conservative movement for decades as the crazies took over. Sander opened the door for the purity rigid, omnicause chasing, forever unhappy Left.

@Rightsof_Man @trouble_man90 Famously unsuccessful Barry Goldwater?

Yall see the pattern here??

@ewarren @NYCMayor You just came out and supported the rape apologist Nazi guy. Mamdani's wife is a racist and Jew hater. I am for better child care in the USA, but what happened to you?

.@NYCMayor Mamdani and I have run the numbers: delivering on affordability means universal child care. We’re in the fight to get it done.

@KevinBCPA @trouble_man90 I am a Liberal and lifelong Dem. But thanks for proving my point. The base is so far gone that when you oppose commies and antisemites, the Lefties call you a RWer.

@Rightsof_Man @trouble_man90 So you're a conservative, got it.

@KevinBCPA @trouble_man90 No, and I think they need to reform. But I do not think they need to absorb the tankies, antisemites, and DSA lefties.

@Rightsof_Man @trouble_man90 Are you happy with the party that lost to trump 2x?

@GregCasar Bliss was the Leftist enemy. You supported Kat Abu. I saw Kat take a stand against Hamas, but then Lefties debated and purity tested her as they came out in support for Hamas. Kat then scrubbed her website saying "Hamas has no future in Gaza".

You guys just blew $7 million in Trump donor money telling lies like this one, and you still lost to progressive Daniel Biss. Keep it up! x.com/AIPAC/status/2…

@Noahpinion I do not like the antisemitic tankies who run around all day purity testing, shifting goals, creating enemies, acting morally smug while being inconsistent and hypocritical, and turning everything into their omnicause. They made it clear. They don't like Liberals.

Democrats have STILL not reckoned with how much people hate progressive ideology

@frogaustin @Noahpinion Stephen Miller tanked Trump and the GOP. Dems are not winning the House. The GOP is losing it.

@Noahpinion And yet still regain the House. Make it make sense.

@Filmantopia @shannonrwatts The agenda is not about pushing for solutions. It is not about helping Palestine. It is not about opposing Netanyahu or Israel's RW foreign policy. The agenda is thousands of years old.

@Rightsof_Man @shannonrwatts Who doesn’t have an agenda?
