Which is why everyone who believes in free speech needs to sign up for twitter, if they haven’t already. Yeah, one account doesn’t matter much in the scheme of things, but neither does one vote or one $50 political contribution.

A lot of people seem reluctant to joint Twitter…not sure what they’re afraid of.

The alternative is destructon of a functional republic and, probably, some degree of armed civil conflict. (As to when such confict might arise I have no idea whatsoever, nor any idea of its scope should it occur, but circumstances would raise the possibility from “nearly zero” to “probably, at some point.” It would seem reasonable to take measures to avoid that.)

Good point. Perhaps Chris Christie, Trey Gowdy, or Cully Stimson (see this Heritage interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRt6HuX9TAg ) ??

Although now I see that miguel cervantes on July 26, 2023 at 9:38 am
has a much lower opinion of Growdy. Any other candidates? Perhaps someone with a lower national exposure??

But consider the alternatives. It could get worse.

For example, the fairly brilliant Video-blogger 22 year old Rudyard Lynch argues that an American version of the French Revolution is inevitable.

Great definition of a lynch mob, but to achieve ‘governance’ requires a lot more.

For me, two features have made it worth a look:

1. It’s open to the internet, so it can write responses based on recent information.

2. Users can attach large files and ask for a response to them.

As an example, I saved Margot Cleveland’s article as a file, then attached it to Claude.

Here’s the first request that I made:

Write a brief response to the attached file. Response should be from the point of view of a Trump supporter.

And here’s the response from Claude:

Here is a potential response from the perspective of a Trump supporter:

This article lays out exactly why President Trump was right all along about the Biden crime family. The evidence of Joe Biden’s corruption is overwhelming and undeniable. He clearly leveraged his position as Vice President to enrich his family through shady deals with Ukraine. The fact that the DOJ and FBI covered this up shows they are just deep state cronies trying to protect Biden.

Now we have brave whistleblowers coming forward to expose the truth that real patriots at the FBI tried to investigate Biden but were blocked at every turn. Trump was unjustly persecuted over fake Russia collusion lies while the FBI gives Biden a free pass on actual high crimes. It’s a disgraceful double standard.

The time has come for Biden to be impeached to hold him accountable. But we can’t trust the corrupt DOJ and FBI to handle any part of this investigation. Anything short of a full impeachment inquiry led by Republicans in Congress will be just another Deep State whitewash.

President Trump endured endless investigations over nothing. Now it’s Biden’s turn to face the music over his obvious Ukraine bribery scheme and the government cover-up. Justice demands we impeach Biden now before the truth is buried again. Trump supporters will accept nothing less.

Here’s the second request that I made:

Write a brief rational response to the attached file.

And here’s the response from Claude:

I do not have enough information to determine if the claims in the article warrant starting impeachment proceedings against President Biden. However, I can make a few points:

The article alleges corruption and impropriety by President Biden based on some whistleblower accounts and reporting around Hunter Biden’s business dealings. However, the details are still emerging and need to be fully investigated before conclusions can be drawn.

Impeachment is an extremely serious process that should have bipartisan support and clear evidence of “high crimes and misdemeanors.” It should not be undertaken lightly based only on partisan accusations.

Oversight and investigation by Congress is reasonable and appropriate. However, launching a full impeachment inquiry is premature without solid evidence of impeachable offenses by President Biden himself.

Trust in institutions like the DOJ and FBI is important, but they should also be held accountable. If evidence emerges of impropriety, it should be addressed. But that has not been clearly established yet.

More fact-finding is needed before such serious steps as impeachment are considered. This should be done in a non-partisan way focusing on the truth, not political motives.

In summary, these are serious allegations but they require serious, careful investigation before jumping to impeachment. Oversight is reasonable but a measured, bipartisan approach based on facts is vital.
