In case you were wondering what kind of person would get off on inciting a swarm of rightwing trolls to pollute Elizabeth Warren’s feed, here you go...

This is Comfortably Smug.

As people worried about lost homes and missing loved ones after Hurricane Sandy, Smug thought it was funny to spread misinformation and provoke panic.

Tripathi apparently isn’t a fan of people being reminded of what an a**hole he is, so he’ll likely block you if you reacquaint him with pieces like this one.

Tripathi is one weird, messed up dude.

Case in point: his freaky-a** “sex diary” entry in NY Magazine.

I couldn’t get through this whole mess. I challenge you to do better...

What does Smug do when he isn’t trolling Democrats on Twitter?

Works on Republican campaigns and fundraises for people like Mitt Romney.

Because, of course.

How did this guy not get banned from Twitter for inciting panic during an emergency?

He had 6k followers then. He has 100k+ followers now.

That tells you all you need to know about how much Twitter cares about shutting down garbage trolls.

Just to take this one step further...

Worth noting that federal prosecutors chose to make public an indictment which has little prosecutorial value on its face (since Veselnitskaya is out of reach).

There’s a method to this madness and it may well be...

1/
1) Shining a spotlight on the Trump Tower meeting about “adoptions”

2) Putting into the public domain evidence that Junior, et al, were indeed meeting with the Kremlin by proxy

3) Providing corroboration of the criminal quid pro quo alluded to in Paul Manafort’s mtg notes

2/
4) Establishing that all attendees fully knew what the Russian objectives were in supporting the Trump Campaign

5) Providing a supporting indictment of the foreign actor in the Trump Tower meeting in advance of Mueller indicting Junior for lying to Congress about the mtg.

I think people are making too much of the Trump-on-Adderall thing and misattributing behaviors to an Rx that isn’t the likely culprit.

Along the reasons: Adderall is readil available in a quickly metabolizing form so there would be no real need to snort it.

1/
People often crush meds to defeat time-release formulations.

If a pill’s compounds are made harder to breakdown, they take effect more gradually.

Crushing them defeats that onboarding speed limit and rushes and concentrate the effects.

2/
Also, Trump seems genuinely ADHDish and the effects of Adderall on people appropriately prescribed for ADHD are vastly different than on people taking it inappropriately.

Adderall is often calming and focusing for people w ADHD. It’s primarily a stimulant for people w/o ADHD.

History best remembers “The First”.

The first person to do something undone. The first to overcome a barrier or reach a new height.

Given less than their due are the ones who pushed but were turned back.

The people who inspired others to reach for things once unreachable.

1/
Today was a day of historic firsts.

The first Congress with 100 women.

The first Native American and Somali-American Congresswomen.

The first openly Bi Congresswoman - or member of Congress at all.

...and on and on.

2/
In her 2008 Primary concession speech, Hillary Clinton said that there was a success even in her losing:

It would now be unremarkable for a woman to seek the presidency, to win primaries, to be the nominee.

It would be unremarkable for women to seek even the highest office.

Translation: The steel will be made by the same US mills (Evraz Steel) that are co-owned by Russian billionaire, Trump family friend and close Putin ally, Roman Abromavich. Also in case you were wondering why Trump put tariffs on steel from outside North America, now you know.
^^^ 'Evraz North America' is owned by 'Evraz' - Here's the North American subsidiary leadership next to the parent company leadership. Notice anything? Anything at all?
^^^ Imagine, if seeing how Trump clearly owes Russia something, his wall construction contract is how he's gonna pay them back. That's the real reason why he's so desperate to get it funded. So desperate he'll shutdown the gov on xmas, prolong it & threaten 'National Emergency'.

Here’s ⁦@CathyYoung63⁩ making the case for the campus free speech crisis. Her evidence? The fact that comedian Nimesh Patel was ejected from the stage at Columbia last week.

Here’s my evidence for the contrary. nydailynews.com/opinion/ny-ope…
In March, Ann Coulter spoke at Columbia without any real disruption. Ten protesters shouted slogans outside. They were from an off-campus group.

columbiaspectator.com/news/2018/03/2…
A month before, Anthony Scaramucci came to Columbia, also without incident.

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

This all started because the #MetPolice & #LBRUT couldn't do their jobs properly & then decided to take the law into their own hands. The result of this decision has led to events stranger than fiction

#BBCNews #Skynews #Itvnews #Channel4News #ThisMorning #TheresaMay #UKGov #LBC
My company was raided. It should have been a straightforward matter. But the #MetPolice & #LBRUT forgot to seize my computer & came back to do a 2nd raid. The search warrant didn't permit a second entry, however, #LBRUT entered unlawfully

#Guardian #Telegraph #DailyMail #GMB #UK
Complaints were then made to my MP #VinceCable. He liaised with the #Metpolice & #LBRUT. And then weeks later, the search warrant was completely changed & was passed off as the search warrant executed on the day of the raids.

A timeline of "Russian" (non) Collusion in a tweet thread:

1. In June of 2016, Crowdstrike announced that the DNC servers had been hacked by the Russians, and submits a malware report “proving” this is the case: washingtonpost.com/world/national…
2. Some points to note: In the months before this report, Papadopolous had already been emailing Manafort about “Russians” wanting to meet with the Trump team, which I speculate may have been to lay the groundwork for what was to come. Or, stupidity. abcnews.go.com/US/documents-d…
3. Comey was also already hard at work exonerating Hillary Clinton for her crimes, and FusionGPS was in the heat of their “dossier” building campaign, hiring Nelly Ohr, who had formerly worked with the CIA, as an “independent contractor” foxnews.com/politics/2017/…
