A relaxing thought:
one day nobody will care where donald trump is, what he is doing or why.
That will be a blessed day.
And the sooner it arrives, the better.

The protesters literally never even got on his lawn, let alone "pounded down his door".
Ridiculous.
And I thought we were supposed to be the snowflakes?

The funny thing is not that Rush turned out to be a drug addict. The funny thing is how he condemned drug addicts before he was one.
Do journalists understand what they’re dealing with?
Time to stop treating this administration with restraint and civility.
These are dangerous people.
@Mikel_Jollett
Kaepernick was protesting the use of deadly force against unarmed americans.
The fact that millions of Americans purposely overlook this fact is very revealing.
Trump is the one who does not even know the anthem's words, got 5 deferments, and avoids visiting troops in war zones.
I'm personally WAY more liberal than Lamb but I am still for him winning.
Because it is WAY better than him losing.
See how that works?
Politics in the real world.

Having recently hired a lawyer I think she was charging decent to generous market rate for services.
Go to Manhattan, you can hire a lawyer for 1000 an hour no problem, depending on the specific area, more if dealing with a partner.
The whole topic is ridiculous.
@JuddLegum
Trump's nonstop horror show has shifted the entire frame of reference.
Numbness has set in.
Republicans are just holding desperately onto power.
Democrats tho are sadly over cautious.
Biden is a very good example of being a normal sane president.
But “the discourse” is so deranged now that he is demonized for saying the most anodyne things.
This is just a normal centrist presidency here, folks:
Biden: "There's the right to protest, but not the right to cause chaos ... there is no place for hate speech or violence or any kind, whether it's antisemitism, Islamophobia, or discrimination against Arab Americans or Palestinian Americans."

There was no follow up.
Because that would mean doing journalism.
That might mean losing access to horrible people.
Stenography and careerism is the only job here.

Laziness in headline writing is a staple now.
@CBS
: folks, the players are protesting against *the police killings of unarmed black men*.
Ok? Got it?
They are not protesting the anthem.
They are protesting DURING the anthem.
Got it?
Ok then WRITE THAT.
@PGourevitch
@NewYorker
What does that even mean?
Engaging with Bannon is pointless.
Do some investigative pieces or something.
No platforming this miscreant.
I know nothing matters but this is objectively insane.
Forget partisan politics just for a second.
No decent country can function like this.
Having an American president* who repeatedly sides with hostile foreign despots against other Americans.
People are really underestimating what Trump is capable of in the next year.
NOTHING is out of bounds for a cornered sociopath with massive wealth and power and EVERY reason to prevent his own defeat.
NOTHING is off limits.
@crampell
Secret service was actively part of the GOP coup.
Unavoidable conclusion.
Someone better clean house at the Secret Service or else no non GOP politician is safe.
North Korean state media is saying that Trump explicitly agreed to lift sanctions on NK and halt "war games" (joint military exercises with South Korea) — and that North Korea doesn't have to move toward denuclearizing **until the US does**
@DavidCornDC
They want to blame Clinton's loss 100% on her and how she was mean to Bernie. Russia story disrupts that narrative so it must be destroyed.
"Trump has threatened to imprison his political opponent (Joe Biden), his opponent's family (Hunter Biden), his predecessor (Obama), and his former opponent (HRC). Trump is the only POTUS to ever threaten these actions." --

Time to do some reporting on the OBSESSION that right wingers have with demonizing cities.
The visceral hatred, fear, etc.
It really is an obsession.
There's a deeper story here.
@Mikel_Jollett
The irony is that journalism is supposed to be the pursuit of truth.
But when truth showed up about themselves the journalists couldn't handle it.
Actually sad.
People are going to start working back from consequences rather than forward from crimes.
They'll just figure "well if he's not in jail then I guess he's ok." or
"well if he wasn't impeached I guess he didn't do anything that bad."
That is how a dangerous precedent gets set.
In addition to this, Flynn tried to kidnap a cleric, make illegal nuke deals, worked illegally as an agent for Russia and Turkey, etc. The judge in his case was appalled and wanted him locked up for public safety.
Mueller insisted Flynn not go to prison, to the judge's horror.
@Mikel_Jollett
Exactly this.
Trump did not invent the virus.
He just unleashed it on the American population.
Failing at every turn, to do what is required.
You'd almost think he did it on purpose.
His reaction was THAT bad.
@chrislhayes
There's no upside here.
This is a message to every crook on team trump.
A promise that you can do crimes and at WORST end up getting 1/6th the sentence you deserve.
Poor people will still get the same harsh sentences they've always gotten.
@JoyceCarolOates
Hillary Clinton got 3 million more votes than Trump in 2016.
And what do people (on both left and right, mind you) say in response?
Not "abolish the electoral college" but "she was a bad candidate".
That is a deranged response.
Induced by a sick system.

We're going to keep doing this until Florida is 100% under water.
And then we're going to keep doing it.
Because that's our style.
@btenoire8
@adamdavidson
Exactly.
Instead of looking at reality and reporting it they look at the politics and work backward from there to achieve political “neutrality”.
And Koch bros pay their bills all the while.
@PGourevitch
I hope people even remember this.
Before ANY sexual assault allegations came to light he had lied repeatedly under oath.
That should have been disqualified him immediately.
@Mikel_Jollett
And in our response to his behavior let us consider past tragedies:
Benghazi (4 dead, YEARS of investigations)
9/11 (3,000 dead. we blew up an entire country)
And now this?
40 f**king thousand dead and counting.
The people who let this happen must be held to account.
They MUST be

@BernieSanders
She's a loose cannon.
And supported by all kinds of the wrong folks.
Sorry to say.
I really wish Bernie had kept out of this toxic mess.
Too late now....
Christine Blasey Ford is still being harassed, her lawyers say. She's reportedly had to move four times. She's had to pay for a private security detail. And she hasn't been able to return to her job at Palo Alto University.
@atrupar
The projection on this guy is off the charts.
Adam Schiff is a demonstrably calm individual.
And Trump is demonstrably exactly what he is calling Schiff.
It's uncanny.
Remember:
Mueller didn't fail.
He never even tried to do the right thing in the first place.
He worked very hard at AVOIDING doing the right thing tho.
He was focused on that from day one.
@Popehat
@AdamSerwer
As soon as we can install mandatory pregnancy tests at the borders of all red states things will calm down and we can all relax.
Everything nice and organized.
@realDonaldTrump
Dear Ghost tweet writer, a tip for you:
You must make more spelling errors to make people believe trump actually wrote this.
You must also get all the numbers completely wrong.
Either divide or multiply by 10.
@AndreaChalupa
@JohnJHarwood
And those telling the people who have been robbed of their power to stay quiet and polite are doing the work of the oppressors.
The GOP would like nothing better than for us to be polite little church mice while they stomp all over us, cheating to control all the levers of power
By contrast
#AdamSchiff
is calm, collected, and focused.
This is a man who takes his job here seriously.
And he is immediately disrupted by a trump attack republican.
This is a sign of things to come.
Democrats will be focused.
Republicans will shamelessly disrupt.
Chuck Todd thinks democrats need some "whoa facts".
How about this:
The president* is a lying traitor who attempted to extort foreign powers into sabotaging Joe Biden?
WHOA!!
@adamcbest
MIchelle reveals her arms in a dress?
Mass outrage!
Obama's brown suit?
Unforgivable!
Melania does soft porn photo shoot.
(crickets from the right).
You'd almost think there was some kind of double standard at work.
@grudging1
@joshtpm
And that is the objective truth.
Obama welcomed trump into the white house.
Clinton conceded immediately, even tho she won the popular vote by millions.
This bending over backward for madmen has GOT to stop.
@sahilkapur
Translation:
Republicans want to lock down red states and make sure pregnant women cannot leave to get abortions.
Authoritarians, literally.
@sarahkendzior
The most frustrating part of this is that NONE of this crazy s**t would be possible without millions of willing accomplices.
Take away Trump's fanatical base and he's nothing special.
Just another rich crook.
@jbendery
He's going to need an angry woman to scream this information at him in an elevator before he is willing to do anything about it.
Are any women available in the area?
