One of the first things I ever wrote about the Trump-Russia scandal is that as Trump is not a real Republican, it's not partisan to use expert legal analysis or even political analysis to call him to account for his actions.

This has always been about *America*, not red or blue.
1/ When someone writes me in an AMA to say Pence is as bad as Trump, I say to them that while I agree he is *on policy* it's absolutely essential that we understand that Trump presents a unique threat to America that's beyond partisan politics. Pence is "just" a crazy Republican.
2/ None of this means that we can't call Republicans to account for their historic malfeasance in doing nothing to help the rest of us push back on Trump, but even that malfeasance can't make Trump anything but an *apolitical* non-Republican who presents a unique security threat.

(THREAD) This person has hate-read my feed via a dummy account for a year-plus. She has 100,000 YouTube followers and uses my name to raise cash. Real-time test: to see if I can find 100 lies in her 23-minute video to make a point about far-right grifters.
1/ I don't care about this person; I assume her name is fake and for the purposes of this real-time test I watched 60 seconds of this video to gauge if a random big number I came up with (100) was a reasonable test of how many lies she tells. The purpose of this exercise is this:
2/ I want media to see how badly misinformed the Right has become about the Mueller probe and take at least a little responsibility for it—as people like "Tracey Beanz" do claim to read major media. I also want to show how when major-media misreports, these people are emboldened.

This. A hundred times this. We're in a moment when our politicians and our media need to be *educators* as well as advocates. This is the sort of thread that media outlets themselves could and should be doing when they're reporting on complex stories involving technical terms. 👇
1/ I'd add to this that, per POLITICO, Kremlin agent Konstantin Kilimnik told political operatives in Europe that his negotiations with the Trump team got the RNC platform changed after (per Trump aides) Trump directed that it be changed. That's a confession regarding collusion.
2/ THE NEW YORKER reports Israeli Joel Zamel, introduced to Team Trump by Netanyahu's longtime Chief of Staff, not only offered the Trumps collusive pre-election help on August 2, 2016—to which offer Jr. said *yes*—post-election he said the collusion happened. Another confession.

You did this, @KenDilanianNBC and @Olivia_Gazis.

Singlehandedly.

You misreported the Burr interview by using a non-representative pull-quote contradicted by the rest of the interview and by failing to explain how evidence works. In so doing, you created domestic disinformation.
1/ It's now incumbent upon you, @KenDilanianNBC and @Olivia_Gazis, to correct your reports by contextualizing the Burr quote within his interview—which contradicts it—and explaining what direct evidence means, how evidence works, and the difference between the Senate and Mueller.
2/ Even if you correct your reports, I'm not sure I can forgive the veritable *torrent* of slack-jawed morons you've unleashed who literally know nothing about the Trump-Russia investigation but your misleading headlines and are now insufferably, publicly, and *wrongly* gloating.

1/ Donald Trump and Melania visited the Al Asad Air Base in Iraq on Wednesday, Dec. 26, 2018. It was the President's first visit to a military base in a war zone. While there, the President and First Lady shared a rare public kiss.
2/ What follows is a nonverbal analysis of that kiss as captured in the accompanying photograph (and the cropped close-up included below).

THREAD.
Ok so let's start analyzing a bit what could happen tomorrow. All the docs, images and videos are previously published by #GiletsJaunes protesters in #France (#Paris, #Nice and other cities).
One of the first things I noticed is that many #GiletsJaunes will be in #Paris tomorrow to protest #Macron's presidency.
People here have different political opinions and sometimes they started arguing on Telegram channels. Sometimes they even threaten each other.
Despite small quarrels between few members, #GiletsJaunes' admins are pretty organized (or at least they look so). Some useful maps and schemes are shared with members.
1st pic: how to avoid policemen and why a militant must not talk with them.
2nd pic: metro stations in #Paris.

#Trump's last campaign rally of the 2018 mid-term election season is scheduled to start in about ten minutes. It's his THIRD rally of the day. Dude is likely exhausted and I doubt this rally will be less "speech" and more "incoherent tirade".
At any rate, here's the thread for it! Follow/mute at will!
Current Pre-show music is the Rolling Stones' "Sympathy for the Devil." I couldn't make this up if I tried.

I like @costareports and he's a good reporter, but this piece is shameful: washingtonpost.com/politics/trump… In what sane universe is it newsworthy that Larry Kudlow invited longtime friend @peterbrimelow to his birthday party? Do you entertain only people whose politics you agree with?
The idea that appearing in the same room as @peterbrimelow disqualifies you from polite society is pernicious & I'll have no part of it. Now, I've been criticizing his commitment to white identity politics (a fairer description than "white supremacy" or "white nationalism") since
I started in this business. One of the first things I ever wrote at CIS was a review of his book Alien Nation cis.org/Report/Flawed-…. Last line: "But unease with the simple fact of immigrants' 'brownness' or 'yellowness' just isn't convincing—& distracts attention from the rest

1."#UK, #France follow #US in destructive policies in SYR, use blackmail, threaten RUS,
2.Even during #ColdWar Western diplomats didn't afford such tone vis-a-vis #Russia, "You understand what you did [in #MIddleEast]?No, you don't!Will you ever stop your geopolitical experiments?Do you understand what dangerous line you are driving the world to?
3.What's next for us?The most dangerous line of the confrontation is in #Syria.
In #EasternGhouta radicals have been terorrizing population for many years. Now people are being freed..But external sponsors prevent this progress.Terrorists wanted to continue blackmailing civilians
