📺 Sen. Josh Hawley tells #AxiosOnHBO that he'll make masculinity a signature political issue, because he claims "the left" is telling men: "You're part of the problem...Your masculinity is inherently problematic."

trib.al/7QInsbE
As an ambitious Republican frequently mentioned as a possible future candidate for president or vice president, Hawley is using American masculinity to appeal to suburban parents, and to working men won over by Donald Trump. axios.com/josh-hawley-ma…
Hawley: "As conservatives, we've got to call men back to responsibility. We've got to say that spending your time not working...spending your time on video games, spending your time watching porn online...is not good for you, your family or this country." axios.com/josh-hawley-ma…

And yet, she declined to acknowledge that there's a link between the ongoing lies about/efforts to overturn the 2020 election and current efforts by state legislatures to curtail the powers of state and local election officials in her #AxiosOnHBO interview that aired last night
I blogged about it — Cheney is trying to thread the needle of condemning Trump's election lies without also calling out the state legislators codifying them into law in states around the country, in many provisions that are solutions in search of problems businessinsider.com/cheney-stands-…

TRUMP: There are those that say you can test too much. You do know that.

SWAN: Who says that?

TRUMP: Just read the manuals. Read the books.

SWAN: Manuals? What manuals?

TRUMP: Read the books. Read the books.

SWAN: What books?

TRUMP: —Let me explain. [Does not explain.]
TRUMP: Other countries don’t test like we do, so they don’t show cases.

SWAN: We’re testing so much because it’s spread so far in America.

TRUMP: ... Jonathan, when I took over, we didn’t even have a test.

SWAN: Why would you have a test? The virus didn’t exist.

This should frighten you.

One of most effective questioning of Trump you’ve ever seen (by @jonathanvswan on #AxiosOnHBO)

Trump has NO GOOD response for NEVER raising Russian bounties/arming Taliban with Putin.

Plus: Russia may still be doing it.

2. Trump’s former Special Presidential Envoy @brett_mcgurk said in this article:

Trump’s failure to raise with Putin “makes whatever Pompeo may have said irrelevant, as the Russians dismiss anything Americans officials say if not backed from the top.”

3. Military sounded alarm on Russia arming Taliban

3/23/17: Gen Scaparrotti, NATO Commander, before Senate
3/29/17: Gen Votel, Commander, CENTCOM before House
4/24/17: SecDef Mattis and Gen Nicholson, presser
9/28/17: Mattis with Afghan Pres., presser
3/23/18: Gen Nicholson, BBC

The #AxiosonHBO interview @jonathanvswan did with Jared Kushner is a masterclass in journalism. It’s airing again tonight at 11:30pm ET. I suggest you tune in.
Kushner tried to play the artful dodger, but @jonathanvswan wouldn’t let up and pinned him down in numerous spots, including getting Kushner to claim publicly for the first time that he never once spoke to Trump about his security clearance.
Jared Kushner said tonight that one of the main goals of the Mideast peace process is “for the area to be investible.”

The real estate and business terminology is so misplaced here. But I guess when you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
