GOP has spent nearly $20M in two months on anti-impeachment TV ads, and hasn't moved public opinion one inch

so where are all the hand-wringing stories about GOP's failed impeachment communications message?
Trump has the largest/loudest megaphone in the world and has been railing against impeachment everyday for 2+ months--hasn't moved public opinion one inch.

so where are all the hand-wringing stories about Trump's failed impeachment communications message?
instead of failed GOP stories, NYT last week ran a Valentine to WH abt how amazing its impeachment War Room is

just watched the interview....virtually no push back to anything Ivanka said.

for most Sunday shows, the blueprint remains the same: book a Republican and let them talk.

period.
news coverage of Ivanka continues to be just dreadful.
she’s waved into Face the Nation set for a softball interview they sit on for a week, then air it as “news”

after spending 3 yrs writing worshipful articles abt Trump supporters, NYT publishes condescending piece on liberal protesters; nytimes.com/2019/12/28/us/…
NYT reporters know the unwritten rules of the newsroom
and yes, most of the worshipful Trump articles are abt GOP male supporters.

here, NYT mocks liberal women activists

Please 📞 call your senator and let them know that the world is watching!

Do they put country above party?

Do they honor their oath to the constitution?

But
How about
@ChrisCoonsforDE of Delaware, @SenGaryPeters of Michigan, @SenTinaSmith of Minnesota @JoeManchinWV of West Virginia and @SenatorSinema of Arizona, @SenDougJones of Alabama

📞Call your senator #impeachment
A 2/3 majority in Senate(at least 67 votes) is needed to remove Trump

The removal of Trump would need another 20-23 votes.

Those would have to come from among the chamber’s 53 Republicans

Who among Republicans would vote for #impeachment ?

4 odd details from the House GOP's bizarre anti-impeachment SCIF sit-in theweek.com/speedreads/874… via @TheWeek
@TheWeek "Here are four odd details from Wednesday's bizarre circus:

1. A third of the occupiers had the right to be in the room already
Despite Republican complaints that this is a secret partisan inquiry, 48 Republicans and 59 Democrats are on the the..."
@TheWeek "...three committees allowed to attend and participate in the impeachment depositions — including 13 of the Republicans who "stormed" the SCIF, by journalist Marcy Wheeler's count."

A short thread on #impeachment.

I have pre-existing conditions—I fear my life & that of my friends being taken away.
I have close friends with DACA—I fear their right to be here being taken away.
I'm a Latino parent—I fear my child will be discriminated against worse than I was
I'm the survivor of an in-person death threat against me & my family, from a MAGA extremist who hated me just for who I am—I fear him or another carrying out those threats.

I'm an attorney—I fear the erosion of the rule of law.
I'm a patriot—I fear Russian interference in the 2020 election.

I'm a voting rights advocate—I fear a system is currently being created that will lead to permanent minority rule, & that that minority will use political power to permanently restricts the rights of the majority.

THREAD: DEBUNKING ANTI-IMPEACHMENT ARGUMENTS

I wrote a piece taking apart the specious arguments against #impeachment

You know, things like "the Senate won't convict..." "It's too divisive..." "Trump is goading Dems..." and so on.

peterdaou.com/no-good-argume…
SPIN: The Senate won’t convict so there’s no point impeaching in the House.

FACT: It doesn't matter what the Senate does. The Constitution demands impeachment.
SPIN: Democrats need to gather more evidence to make an airtight case for impeachment.

FACT: We don't need more evidence.

The Poway synagogue shooter said he hated Jews for their role in "cultural Marxism". So, who spread the conspiracy theory concerning "cultural Marxism", which claims it's a Jewish conspiracy against Western Civilization?

Who popularized that? Donald Trump knows the man...
2) I revisit this every few months, when a new act of foreign or domestic terrorism happens and the perpetrator cites "cultural Marxism" as a reason. Back in '016 I wrote this piece which listed some of the then-current examples. 4thgenwar.wordpress.com/2016/07/11/tru… There are many more now.
3) "cultural Marxism" is now the grand unifying narrative for the hard, fascist & neo-Nazi right. It does the same work as did the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" forgery did, a century ago, to inspire Hitler & his Nazis. In '016 a book with a section on "cultural Marxism" was
