*Purely* as a matter of communications, the seven candidates on this stage who *consistently* present themselves well (in terms of elocution, rhythm, tone, tenor, body language, and clarity) are, in alphabetical order:

Booker
Buttigieg
Castro
Harris
O'Rourke
Sanders
Warren
PS/ Steyer generally speaks quite well, but this is his first debate, so there isn't enough information to work from yet.
PS2/ I don't want to dig on Klobuchar but I didn't put her on the list because there are elements of her presentation any comms person would call problematic; Sanders (as a *comms* issue) is on the list because he has developed a brand people understand and can predict and follow

If Trump thinks there's no profit to him in holding the G7 at Doral, he'll be willing to sign a CONTRACT saying that he'll NEVER use the fact the G7 was at Doral in any MARKETING MATERIALS for Doral EVER, right? Right?

Right? He'd sign that CONTRACT, right?
(Would've been nice if Mulvaney had been asked about this—future marketing materials—today. Maybe he was and I missed it, but I don't think so.)
(Folks, you can put *damages clauses* in contracts that state what the penalty will be for any violation of the contract. Set the damages at $10 million PER OFFENSE, and *then* see if he violates it.)

QUESTION: How do we know that when top Trump campaign NatSec adviser Michael Flynn was working on behalf of Turkey to plot (to please Erdogan) the kidnapping of a Turkish cleric living in Pennsylvania, he wasn't doing so with Trump's knowledge? Flynn didn't do so much to hide it.
1/ Flynn was working on other secret projects to benefit foreign nations that folks on the campaign knew about, and as to Turkey attended poorly hidden meetings to plot the kidnapping. Trump seemed concerned about Flynn flipping and post-election did work to extradite the cleric.
2/ So now he writes Erdogan and says he worked hard to deliver on what Erdogan wanted, and one of the main things he wanted was the extradition of a cleric we know Trump worked to extradite post-election.

So how do we know Trump wasn't aware of *pre-election* efforts to do this?

How early in the Trump-Ukraine scandal is it? The "grand bargain" just came up for the first time—and no one's noting Trump likely sent Perry to Zelensky's inauguration to discuss Ukraine's role: accepting an end to Russian sanctions in exchange for a turbine deal for Turboatom.
1/ The scope of the Trump-Ukraine scandal will come to astonish America. It is going to dovetail with the entirety of the Mueller Report, the entirety of the FBI counterintelligence investigation, and the entirety of the investigation into the Trump transition and inaugural fund.
2/ I've no idea whether this scope will be appreciated by America by Christmas, as Congress is rushing toward impeachment and a Senate trial largely to avoid any overlap with 2020 voting, but at the latest within a few years America will understand how these scandals were linked.

All right, I'd like to cover this Frontier event similar to the Renaissance, with slightly shorter chapter summaries.

Here's the thread for Sailor's Call: This chance won't happen twice!
The event starts with the Frontier gang having just watched Sailor's Call, a famous musical about romance and adventure with two sailors known as Noah and Marion. Frontier has been asked to put on the play for a nationally known Port Festival (I guess this is a thing in Japan).
Their teacher apparently selected their roles for them, so Shizuha will be Marion, the sailor looking to reunite with Port, the long-lost first love played by Tsukasa. Tsukasa admits she wanted to play the role of Marion, but...

Over the years we've tried to figure out how to make someone excel at sales. That's a difficult problem. What I do know for sure is what makes someone terrible at sales. 1) Lack of social grace in how they talk. 2) No sense of humor. 3) Self-centered. 4) No wit or charm
A good sales rep can close a deal. A great one can keep the relationship and build it for future referrals. You'll notice something about them. They are very likable. They are kinda funny but not in a way you could repeat their jokes. Why is that?
A great sales rep listens to you, reads you, reads the room, advises you and brings you to a natural conclusion on excellent terms. Along the way they form little inside jokes with just YOU. That's why you like them but you can't say they are "funny".

A much better performance from Powell. But his tone and body language clearly showed that he believed that the US economy is doing well and this is just an insurance cut against the Trump Trade War and global weakness
#Powell #FOMC #ratecut #Trump #Fed /1 @threadreaderapp
Powell was clear the US will not go to negative rates. He believes that asset purchases and forward guidance have worked in the past and that is the way forward as well.
#Powell #FOMC #ratecut #Trump #Fed /2
On yield curve inversion Powell does not see it as a recession indicator but rather a contraction in term premia driven by global low interest rates.

Morrow I shall look at the charges the NBC raises in the letter to AIT (shown below). Does it accord with S.39 of the CFRN 1999? Is there an offence as treasonable rhetoric? Is the NBC code in conflict with S.39? Is NBC against press freedom? #AITUnderSiege #NBCAgainstFreePress
I shall proceed to answer the question, does the letter accord with S.39 of the CFRN 1999? My answer is: NO.
The tone, tenor and language of the letter highlight a certain draconian attitude, which goes against freedom of expression guaranteed by S.39 CFRN thus:
When the NBC alleges that "statements are deliberately transmitted to suit the interest of certain groups", it is showing its partisan hand. A regulator should not make allegations it can't substantiate as the onus of proof lies in it.

 learn and practice a set of skills you can rely on in situations that put you under pressure.

Repeat what you just heard.
One of the hardest parts of contributing to a conversation is answering a direct question, especially when you can’t honestly give the expected answer.

Going to do a little thread on what it’s like to be on the autistic spectrum. Will add to it from time to time, mostly myth debunking, stuff you might not know & how to help / interact with autistic people in your life. #ActuallyAutistic
Did you know that a lot of autistic people have problems processing sensory input? Even leaving the house can be totally overwhelming as we are less tolerant of bright lights, strong smells, loud noises (or multiple noise sources), textures, motion etc. #ActuallyAutistic
If you’re meeting an autistic friend, try to meet somewhere quiet & calm. If you can make the effort to travel closer to us, that helps greatly as long journeys can be really difficult. On top of the sensory issues, we can be very anxious about planning. #ActuallyAutistic
