The interaction Joe had with that voter in Iowa was just a real, human interaction. He wasn't some MAGA plant. Or a troll sent by another campaign. He was just an Obama voter who likes Warren, Buttigieg, & Yang...and not Joe. And Joe blew it. nypost.com/2019/12/05/man…
We're so used to everything being scripted these days. Every TV news panel is set up with people paid to deliver a particular script. But real human interaction on the campaign trail breaks those scripts by introducing real humans who don't fit the molds we expect.
I mean, f*cking news flash, some guy who isn't on Twitter all day doesn't have all of the facts straight about what happened with Hunter Biden in Ukraine. Why is anyone surprised about that? What he's expressing is this--it looks super fishy and everyone knows it.
How hard would it be for Joe to say "in hindsight I can see that it was inappropriate for my son to take a job in a country where I was engaged in diplomacy. I wouldn't do it again. But every person who's looked into this in good faith has agreed that I did nothing wrong."
"Trump is bringing this up to distract from his own corruption and the corruption of his family. In all of my years of public service, while Trump was lining his pockets by evading taxes, I was never once accused of doing anything corrupt. Now let's move on."
Maybe I'm painfully naive, but, hear me out, maybe voters respect politicians who are just simply honest with them about their past records. Who will actually admit having made a bad decision and having learned from it? Like every human on earth has.
I think it would be ESPECIALLY refreshing this year given that this is the opposite of Trump's M.O. which is to never apologize for anything. What if acknowledging mistakes would be perceived as....gasp...maturity and not weakness? Behaving, ya know, like we teach our kids to be.
I feel for Joe. This whole Hunter story is BS and he's sick of it. But you don't make it go away by responding aggressively and defensively to some 60-something guy with partial information who voted for you in 2016. I mean, these are Joe's people, right? He should know better.
My bad...the guy is 83, not 60-something. Even more in Joe's wheelhouse in that they're the same generation.

Many people in the generation that said, in 1969, "don't trust anyone over 30" seems oddly invested, in 2019, in the idea that people under 30 shouldn't be trusted.
I'm not trying to attack Boomers. I have many Boomers who are beloved friends and relatives. I'm just saying, try having a little historical self-awareness now and then, especially if you're a person with power and a platform.
"My generation had it right and this new generation is messed up" is what every single generation has said about the generation that follows them for centuries. It's a stupid script and we can choose not to follow it.

Today I learned that Bette Midler has never taken a minute to rest and check her phone while touring a museum. Either that, or she thinks a picture taken in one moment of time captures everything we need to know about the people whose image is being taken.
And also, apparently people of Bette Midler's generation, when they were young people, never once were bored or complained when their parents took them to an art museum. They always said "thank you so much for this culturally enriching experience! I can't get enough of it!"
Boomers do this sort of sh*t that drove them crazy when their parents did it to them...and then they wonder where that whole "ok boomer" meme came from.

Sounds like this dude needs to be subpoenaed.
Because the correct answer to that question was just a "no." Because he could not just unblinkingly say "no," there's clearly more to the story.
Mark Esper works for the American people, not the President. It was our taxpayer money that was being withheld. We have every right to know how it was being used.

That Uplifting Tweet You Just Shared?

A Russian Troll Sent It
rollingstone.com/politics/polit…
On August 22, 2019,
@/IamTyraJackson received almost 290k likes on Twitter for a single tweet.

Put in perspective, the typical tweet Trump sends to his 67 million followers gets about 100,000 likes.
That viral tweet by
@/IamTyraJackson was innocent:
an uplifting pair of images of former pro football player Warrick Dunn and a description of his inspiring charity work

For an anonymous account that had only existed for only a few months, “Tyra” knew her audience well.

1/ President Trump lavishes praise on police officers. But when cities send the Trump campaign bills for police protection at his #MAGA rallies, the Trump campaign doesn't pay. publicintegrity.org/federal-politi…
2/ Starting in March, @publici contacted the local governments in every place Trump has conducted a #MAGA rally since becoming president — more than 60 in all. Several said they were still waiting for Trump's campaign to pay bills.
@PublicI 3/ We also reached out to cities we knew had billed the Trump campaign for public safety-related costs during Election 2016. Several of them also said Trump's campaign had not paid bills.

Have you ever looked at the people who spend all day commenting under Trump's tweets?

Does their entire life revolve around someone they hate? The Answer is Yes.

And today I'm creating a Dropshipping store from scratch so you can profit off them

🇺🇸 A Thread on How to Do It 🇺🇸
So, what do we know about these people?
1. They hate Trump
2. They want others to KNOW they hate him (why else are they tweeting/sharing FB articles all day?)

This is what you call a "passionate niche full of hungry buyers"

They will buy products that confirm their beliefs
Warning: This thread is going to be very long. Make sure you Favorite the top tweet right now, so you can come back to it later.

I'm going to walk you through the:
-Front-end offer
-FB ads (secret engagement tip in this one)
-Targeting
-Upsell
-Post Purchase Email

Thread: Chinese and Russian Threat Comparison and Hacking

1. Most of you know that I’ve done a number of threads over the past few months aimed at exposing the Chinese economic and military threat. Here’s one to refresh your memory:

2. Here are a couple of considerations that should pique your attention. China has the second largest economy in the world, as well as one of the world’s fastest growth rates (which is slowing thanks to Trump’s hardball tariffs!).

weforum.org/agenda/2016/06…
3. Note that China is the second largest provider and the top receiver of foreign direct investment. The provider aspect is tied to their Belt Road Initiative which is aimed at developing Chinese markets overseas, as described in previous threads.
