Just thinking today with all that's happened this week, that given where Donald Trump's brand started out; how he sold himself as this lovably roguish real estate bon vivant, it's remarkable that he is going to go down in history as the 21st Century's George Wallace (reposted).
I wrote this in 2015 and have to say it has held up pretty well. thedailybeast.com/donald-trump-i…
Except Trump will likely be remembered as worse: George Wallace with much worse cruelty, far more corruption, and without the redemption. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/…

"Lock her up" was peak authoritarianism; countries that lock up whoever dared to run against the autocrat are the kinds we used to send election monitors to.

"Send her back" is pure white nationalism; making white citizenship automatic and black & brown citizenship conditional.
As I said on the show today Donald Trump has been racist for years. But while all white nationalists are racist, not all racists are white nationalists. Trump, due to influencers or internal corruption, is migrating past racism to white nationalism (believing America IS white).
That's not meant to be over the top. Folks I interviewed for my book believed via experience that Stephen Miller is a white nationalist. And he and "home of the (white nationalist) al right" Steve Bannon are huge Trump influencers.

The right stews in resentment and victimhood at not being embraced by the popular culture, which rejects their goals of slashing social programs, cutting taxes on the rich, shutting off minorities' voting rights, unleashing polluters and seizing women's bodily autonomy.
They watch from the outside as the culture becomes what in their minds is more dangerously libertine, less (their version of) Christian and more multicultural, while their pre-1960s popular culture centrality has disappeared.
This sense that the left, which has little political power, has all the cultural power; that the left won the culture war and wields social power over the right from Hollywood to music to every aspect of "cultural cool" eats at them.

.@jheil made a good point that however successful raw racism is in keeping Trump out of prosecutors' reach short term, once he's no longer president he will never get back one thing he prized like money: mainstream fame & pop culture acceptance. He and his family are done there.
They are now locked in with the Ted Nugent fanbase, which has never been where Donald Trump or his kids wanted to be. No chilling with celebs, no movie cameos, DOA in fashion world; his hotel will empty out without the foreign $ .... He'll be below D list. He must hate that.
Will even the Murdochs have any use for Trump and his brood once he's no longer president? Between that reality and losing prosecutorial immunity it's clear he'll fight like hell to push back the date he has to confront his dessicated brand.

#MikePompeo on lying:

"When I was a cadet, what was the cadet motto at West Point? 'You will not lie, cheat or steal, or tolerate those who do'? I was the CIA Director. We lied, we cheated, we stole. It was like - we had entire training courses!"

Trump's been roasting Congress since 1993 lol
the first half hehe

Trump has been the same person ever since he's been in public eye, and yet, the American people still elected him...

When will the Democrats learn?
1999 - Roger Stone talked about the decision of Donald Trump to form a presidential exploratory committee. He focused on Trump’s membership in the Reform party, & Trump’s agenda for his campaign.

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

#PascoSheriff #HaveYouAllNoShame @CigarCityBeer
Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...

Based on this nbc data you can still find lots of bot/troll accounts twitter missed.
how to:
Search hashtags ON a date.
Search for the actual tweets.
the accounts all "look" the same, low status counts, low follower counts, created at the same tnbcnews.com/tech/social-me…gbquNiCcd2
just using that and a tip from @z3dster gets me 6 accounts to look at.

@MarlonStepherd
@Mich_Heart_Rt
@DannyyyyPayton
@Joe_B_R
@worynynizuzy
@rogyvahumin

those are all troll factory/internet research agency accounts.
so pull the accounts that follow them.
you get all these shady looking accounts with the same stats.
drop the false positives, drop the duplicates. you get about 180 accounts worth looking at.
