@newyorkgiants.bsky.social Many NFL coaches and former players argue that a three-headed committee prevents a runner from establishing "synergy and vision" on the field. When a backfield splits touches three ways (e.g., 45% / 35% / 20%), no single player can achieve consistent rhythm. Najee Harris

In a kleptocracy, literally "rule by thieves", laws are not applied to maintain justice, but are instead weaponized to protect the ruling elite, validate stolen wealth, and suppress political opposition If America was a democracy, he’d be in jail

Why Authoritarianism fails: Without anyone watching the leaders, stealing public money and abusing power becomes easy. Human Suffering: Governments target minority groups, protesters, and citizens to create fear. When institutions back down and let leaders break the rules, society becomes unstable.

AUTHORITARIANISM : Less Freedom: The government silences critics, controls the news, and punishes people who disagree. No Checks and Balances: Leaders weaken courts and lawmaking bodies so no one can stop them. Unfair Rules: Elections are rigged or changed to keep the ruling party in power.

Kushner’s willingness to grant concessions to autocrats and accept funding from their regimes leads us to conclude that his actions actively reinforce authoritarian power at the expense of democratic allies.

Kushner’s diplomatic frameworks don’t prioritize human rights, democratic governance, or institutional accountability, treating global conflicts as corporate mergers or business deals, where the strongest party dictates terms.
