These are words in sentence shape, but wow do they not make any coherent sense.
A NY mayor in the 1970s behaving this way around a known gangster would not result in similar bendings of reality to come to some fantastical conclusion.
“Some people close to Mr. Trump” believe there is a perfectly reasonable and totally legal explanation for his curious behavior.

Cruz (and Rubio) lost the primary to @realDonaldTrump when the Trump didn't have the advantage of hyper partisanship. Cruz lost to Trump when either candidate would've given Republicans what they wanted (ACA repeal, conservative judges).
Because the GOP establishment mostly rallied behind @realDonaldTrump the election became @HillaryClinton vs Paul Ryan's domestic policy and Federalist Society-approved SCOTUS justices.
Ignoring that Trump didn't have all that in his favor (plus the fundamentals of the race and the precedent against a party winning the WH three times in a row, oh and Russia attacking our elections) is ... odd.

I remember an interview with Robert Downey Jr after he’d gotten out prison (yeah, the pre-Iron Man days). He was asked what the worst thing was that happened to him there. He said, “I’ll never tell you the worst thing that happened to me in prison.”
I don’t know that he meant rape but most guys would think that was what he meant. We would never want to admit to rape, to the her powerlessness and violation. Why do we think women are in a hurry to do this? Or that they enjoy broadcasting that they were a victim?
It’s brave that women come forward and there’s nothing to be ashamed of. But women don’t enjoy revealing this.

Isn't this also more an employment issue than a legal one? This came up with Franken, who I also thought should've resigned. "Due process" and "presumption of innocence" are important when talking about putting someone in jail. Here we're talking abt not putting someone on SCOTUS
Roy Moore and Al Franken weren't deprived of a natural right (their "freedom"). They lost Senate seats, which are obviously privileges that a rare number of people enjoy.
When a former teacher or coworker comments on your past performance, they aren't treated like witnesses at a trial. They don't testify under oath nor are their cross examined.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel rejects President Donald Trump's call for Chicago police to use stop-and-frisk tactics chicagotribune.com/news/nationwor…

Comment: Good! Human beings should be treated like human beings.
Trump might not be a literal Nazi, but we shouldn't lose sight of the really troubling things he says and does. Like threatening to put Chicago under military occupation.

After the fact, Mr. Trump claimed that he was talking about sending in the FBI, and the mainstream media started echoing that talking point, but let's be serious.

Prior to 24 Jan 2017, who in the United States had we ever heard use the word "feds" to refer to the FBI?

Wow.
Remember? #Kashoggi was the right-hand man for Prince Al Waleed bin Talal - who owns a controlling stock in twitter and who was arrested for corruption crackdown in the Saudi Government. cnbc.com/2017/11/04/bil…
Bin Talal is a very prominent investor with stakes in companies like Citigroup, Apple and Twitter, just to name a few.
#Kashoggi Khashoggi was appointed as general manager of the Al Arab news channel, which was owned by Prince Alwaleed bin Talal and operated out of Manama, Bahrain.

1) Starting a thread to review #BrettKavanaugh with respect to his conduct towards women. Since that is what is under attack.

Let’s go there.

(Full disclosure: I am biased in favor of his confirmation, not because of his record per se but because I want military tribunals now.)
2) I guess you could consider this citizen activism or volunteer PR.

Call it what you want, you aren’t going to convince logical people of anything unless you look at both sides.
3) So we are going to look at everything it is possible to find using publicly available data. Within the span of an hour or so.

Wow. @SenSanders is really getting under Amazon’s skin. This response on their corporate blog is a feat of corporate-speak — sort of hilarious and enraging all at once. Let’s break this down… 1/

blog.aboutamazon.com/company-news/r…
@SenSanders Amazon: “the average hourly wage for a full-time associate in our fulfillment centers… is over $15/hour” — This stat uses some tricks. The big one is not counting the temps who work in Amazon’s warehouses. They’re about 40% of the workforce. 2/
@SenSanders Amazon’s temps are paid less. The get “up to $12.00/hr” in Chattanooga and “up to $11.25/hr” in Columbia, SC, for instance. Emphasis on the “up to.” Check out these listings. /3
