Good, but remember my dictum about time spent refuting bullshit. You're still talking about it and there's an unlimited supply on the other side. Keep repeating the facts.
The Trumpists are happy to make up a new "defense" every day, or two, or twenty. Refuting them takes time and the number of possible lies in the universe is infinite. You cannot keep up and they don't think they lose anything by being caught out over and over.
Keep repeating what Trump did and why it is impeachable. Keep explaining why the law must apply to the president, too. Keep repeating that Putin is a dictator who directed an attack on American democracy.

I used to always read (and write for) the WSJ, but browsing the one left in my hotel today I'm reminded why I had to stop. An op-ed from upside-down world saying Hillary was "given a pass" by the FBI and Trump mistreated?! Insanity.
I'm about the last person to be a Hillary defender, but taking these reports and rushing to misrepresent them with the same talking points & agenda as you had before is propaganda, not punditry.
The main GOP/Fox News talking points about the major events & investigations are literally the opposite of what they actually say. That isn't spin, or cherry-picking. It's lying. It's not accidental or misinformed. It's disinformation.

Thanks for having me on @ReliableSources, @brianstelter. With the 3 branches of government failing, the 4th Estate becomes even more important! mediaite.com/tv/garry-kaspa…
Don't build straw men out of my use of the word dictatorship. I'm warning about the techniques & tendencies I know all too well, not saying Trump is going to ride a tank down Pennsylvania Avenue!
My New Year's Resolution for the media: "Stop giving equal time to lies." It used to mean ideological or policy sides. Now it means giving lies an equal platform with the truth. Stop.

Every president & party has exploited and even bent the rules to pass an agenda. But the Trumpist GOP's actual agenda is to bend and break the rules. Flouting the law is the point. It sets the stage for anything at all.
McConnell & Graham saying they won't be impartial jurors was bad, but openly boasting about it is remarkable. Giuliani proudly continuing his corruption in Ukraine is another example. They want to show their impunity, that they are above the law.
This also attempts to normalize corrupt behavior, to keep shifting what is acceptable to pave the way for further abuses. More foreign interference, more obstruction. They have moved into the "why not?" framework used by autocrats.

1/ #PublicNotice Regrettably, I am compelled to issue a second thread in response to #KarenStewart's new tweets against me.

Consider this titled: NSA Whistleblower Karen Melton Stewart has now published open lies against me, exactly like #DrKatherineHorton—the question is: Why?
2/ Karen's tweet, Dec 21:

#ForTheRecord #Ramola #RamolaDharmaraj #IntellectualProperty #EverydayConcerned In regard to the removal of my letters and fliers from Ramola’s site: #BackStory #JointStatement #TCFF #KarenStewart
3/ In regard to Karen's storytelling and slanderous tweet above, I am choosing first to respond right here on Twitter.

I will address both her #FalseNarrative in her graphic & this issue of “#Removal” she has invented.

@mrhortywho @havameow @NunesSideCow @SuzAtTheLibrary @willchamberlain @esqonfire @realDonaldTrump This kind of research you mean?!
@mrhortywho @havameow @NunesSideCow @SuzAtTheLibrary @willchamberlain @esqonfire @realDonaldTrump 2. Or do you mean this kind of critical research of YOUR OWN linked article in an ADMITTED liberal bias media source?!

So at a time (same now if country is still supposedly so racist) when black tenants in a white building would slash rental income, so corporate profits, so....
@mrhortywho @havameow @NunesSideCow @SuzAtTheLibrary @willchamberlain @esqonfire @realDonaldTrump 3. So at a time when black tenants in a white building would slash rental income, so corporate profits, so staff wages and bonuses, THE MANAGEMENT of a company THE Trumps owned discriminated against black MEN

And preferred white WOMEN to them

How many places TODAY turn away...

INEPT, INCOMPETENT & CLUELESS…THE FALLACY OF
PRESUMPTION by @AishaYesufu

Good morning Sis,
Few people tweeted at me yesterday & today when they saw your thread #DontBeLikeBuhari & the continuous toga #Incompetent #Inept #Clueless
I have a little time to earn #BMC N30K now🤣
@AishaYesufu A few days ago, after waiting for 2 days & I noticed that you were not forthcoming to my request, I tried to put a few thoughts in my heart together, not to proof any point, it's just an avenue to raise our level of discussion concerning #ProjectNigeria👇

@AishaYesufu Responding to your thread will never mean that you are completely wrong & will never sweep under the carpet the reality of a few stuff you raised under the leadership of @MBuhari as @NGRPresident although, I think it could have been said in a more decent manner. We are different!

salon.com/2018/11/12/con… You asked, I answered: How do we talk to conservatives in an era when they have completely abandoned all respect for facts and evidence?
A lot of folks despaired after the collective gaslighting conservatives engaged in, pretending to believe Jim Acosta manhandled an intern. They don't really believe that — they're lying to troll you — but in a way, that makes it worse. How do you talk to people like that?
It might feel like it's useful to keep repeating the facts and going over them in great deal, hoping conservatives finally get it. But they will never cave. They know what the truth is and don't care. In fact, they're laughing at you for taking their bait by arguing.

(1) I'm using a new term for those Twitter accounts posing as Trump supporters, that seek to engage, distract and divide Trump supporters online: Disinfo spreaders. It's a time honored strategy.
(2) When I use the term "time honored strategy" I'm saying the strategy has proven effective over a long period of time. It's one of my key messages in this thread: That our adversaries learned the lessons of history better than we have... until now.
(3) Here's where the Trump admin stands on Russia: In a nomination hearing, Pompeo cited Putin having said (words to the same effect) that in his opinion the worst thing from the 20th century was the break-up of the Soviet Union. Let me unpack this.
