Vladimir Putin is a sworn enemy of the United States.
Appeasement was never going to work.
Why is that so difficult to understand?

Here is my best guidance for action, rendered beautifully by the great John Lithgow. I first published these lessons more than eight years ago, in late 2016. They open the twenty chapters of "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century."

Everything Joe Rogan says is wrong. He’s a fount of misinformation and tomfoolery. Why do so many men listen to him? I’m at a loss.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Today is January 6, the anniversary of the felon/GOP’s violent insurrection trying to stop the peaceful transfer of power in the 2020 election! We remember 140 officers who were injured & those who lost their lives due to the attack on the Capitol! Hold all involved in the insurrection accountable!

As the January 6th riots fall further into the past, Republicans are doing everything they can to whitewash their treason. We can’t let them. We remember what they did, and we will never let them, or the American people, forget.
