A guy who believes the earth is 6000 years old, that the Bible eclipses the Constitution as legal authority, claims 45 seconds of video inside the Capitol best reflect 1/6/21 and tell a withheld story. This "quiet, low profile" man is a dangerously unfit, theocratic megalomaniac.

Kudos to @GStephanopoulos for refusing to Welkerize this moment. This is what Republican gaslighting looks like: sidestepping hard questions about a proven rapist. Following Britt in the week GOP women demonstrated an innate inability to accept truth. Or defend their nominee.

ABC’s @GStephanopoulos : “You’ve endorsed Trump.” He’s “been found liable for rape.” He’s “been found liable for defaming the victim.” @RepNancyMace : “You’re asking me a question about my political choices trying to shame me as a rape victim and I find it disgusting.” #ThisWeek

@davidaxelrod That’s what President Biden has done daily: govern, lead, place the nation’s needs first - even as you take to the airways to scold his messaging, critique his priorities as a candidate. No one asked for your advice or imprimatur, certainly not him.

@IvankaTrump May your heart open to 168,000 other grieving families; to neglected children ripped from parental arms and kept in steel cages; to the people of Puerto Rico ravaged by punishing weather; to human suffering everywhere. Anything, finally besides brand protection, greed, power.

@JedediahBila You're disingenuous; for a year you sat at a table on The View and faced an hour of multi-topic confrontation with the left/left-center, all of whom took you on daily, debating with specifics. Still do. Secretary Buttigieg appears on Fox. So why won't the GOP appear on MSNBC?

MSNBC can hire all the conservatives and contrarians they want. An election denying insurrection enabler is a bridge too far. Way too far. Don’t feed us dipshittery and tell us it’s discourse. #NoRonna

On this sobering anniversary, another reminder: 7 hours later, 147 members of the House - who had run for their very lives - turned on the United States of America to overthrow an election and our democracy. They remain complicit.

@benshapiro Trump inherited a booming economy, adding trillions in debt before Covid; botched a misinformation-fueled public relations campaign that failed to halt a pandemic's deadly spread; and "deep vaccine hesitancy" defines your own demographic: Republican men, 49% refusing shots.

Lawrence O’Donnell went there. 60-year-old Trump had unprotected sex with a 27-year-old woman. The likelihood of an unwanted pregnancy defined the liaison. As @Lawrence astutely opined, this rabid new anti choice activist would not have allowed Daniels’s pregnancy to continue.

So it's an April morning when Caitlyn Jenner, Bill Maher, Joe Rogan, and Woody Allen are all trending. To paraphrase Howard Beale, slap your laptop shut, put your phone in airplane mode, and take a walk.

Per McCaskill, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Tom Cotton, and others refused to watch the footage. Denialism - even among those confronted with irrefutable evidence - is a cornerstone of Republicanism.

@EricBoehlert @UrsulaPerano The legislation is characterized as a political football, not a sweeping program to remedy shortfalls. It’s reported as wins or losses for a president and party, not serving citizen needs. Media deride “everything being political” as they promote that prism in daily ledes.

The crash and burn status of @nytimes coverage. Reducing an erratic autocratic threat to some subpar publicist's romantic characterization of a renegade. Danger to democracy? Uh-uh. A mere colorful eccentric in a rogue's gallery of desperados.

@dkiesow And the future of the country. Haberman is tweeting Eric Trump's Fox-platformed lie about White House issued orders as if it's breaking news. Without fact check or journalistic annotation. This is the pernicious spread of myth and conspiracy. This is how we got here.

Joy Reid offered a fresh prism on Trump’s mutable sense of celebrity: the MAGA base isn’t his coveted peer group; he wanted his political ascension to inspire a new respect within NYC and entertainment industry folk. He’s now doubly vindictive, palpably aware that never happened.
