the need to normalize never stops.... dailykos.com/story/2019/7/2…
this is undeniable: leading up to Obama re-elect, the dominant press narrative was 'he might lose!' with Trump, it's 'he might win!'

weird how there's diff standards at play
what’s the problem w/ current Trump polling reporting? rushing to note he’s recently hit “highest” mark, most news orgs omit ALL context re: how awful his rating has been since inauguration

this is huge problem; dailykos.com/story/2019/7/3…
it’s clear that today's overwhelmingly white political press corps is not up to the challenge. It's a press corps that's tentatively treating the ugly specter of tribal racism as if it's just another wedge issue used to motivate voting blocs.
“If contempt of and disrespect for an entire race of people are presented as nothing more than a campaign strategy, as if Trump were taking a stance on climate change, it lightens the blow and makes the racism somehow seem less threatening.”

1) Starting a thread to discover what is happening in the world of the anti-Trump coup.

What are they thinking and planning?

#1 - impeach Trump & Pence, install Pelosi as President, charge McConnell with treason.

dailykos.com/story/2019/1/2…
2) Exhibit A.

3) “no impeachment can happen without Republican senators. They'll demand Pence go first, then install new R Veep (Romney wants to be the guy) then impeach Trump. In that order. And Ds will have to give in on that.” dailykos.com/story/2019/1/2…

Torture and Perjury:

Imagine if a sitting Supreme Court Justice was involved in discussions about whether the US can imprison people

Without a trial

Without lawyers

And torture them-

And then lied about it

During his own confirmation hearing

<Thread>
When Brett Kavanaugh was nominated to become a judge in 2006, he was asked about his work in the Bush administration. Specifically he was questioned about the treatment of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay. He said he was “not involved in the questions about..detention of combatants.”
Problem is, a year later it came out that he WAS involved in some of these arguments.

How did we get here?

(Thread) Lozansky, the bombing of Kosovo, and that time the Russian "turned" part of a Congressional Delegation.
2. We have been covering the Lozanskyverse for a long time - as evidence by this original deep dive. #TrumpRussia thesternfacts.com/how-one-man-in…
3. There is ONE event - an event that seemed relatively minor at the time - where I speculate that Kompromat was obtained and some congressmen were turned.
