Wake up, Republicans. Your party stands for all the wrong things now. washingtonpost.com/opinions/wake-…
2/ If you read Christopher Wylie's Mindf*ck book, before Trump had announced his intention to run, Cambridge Analytica's work in the US had already uncovered this. They also pre-tested "Drain the Swamp" and "Build the Wall." They were doing proof of concept experiments for
3/ multiple GOP candidates in different regions of the US. Bannon ran Cambridge Analytica. And ran Breitbart. Bannon was grooming Trump. Trump had a specialist on staff educating him on right-wing themes. Trump also threw his lot in early with the Tea Party. It was a well thought
4/ out strategy and execution of a plan. Oh, and Cambridge Analytica briefed LukeOil, tested Putin's popularity in America, and parked some/all of its data & models in Russia. Funny that. What an influence operation.

1/ Trump threatens Iran will pay ‘a very big price’ over US embassy protests in Baghdad theguardian.com/world/2019/dec…
2/ We obviously want our diplomats & other personnel to be unharmed. Trump, no doubt, wants to escalate this crisis in order to get a "rally around the effect" to pump up his poll numbers. But, Trump's Iran policy has been one miscalculation & error after another. Tillerson &
3/ Pompeo have reduced the expertise in the State Dept significantly. The Ukraine impeachment shows that there is no regular process in the NSC. This is Trump's clusterfuck and the Democrats in House ought to open hearings. This isn't revenge for Benghazi. The Trump Crime Regime

I am reading Chris Wylie's @chrisinsilico Mindf*ck. It's a great read. So, I've said a number of times on Twitter that there is no reason to assume that Cambridge Analytica was actually working to help Ted Cruz, their official client. If you look at all the things Steve Bannon
2/ did to groom Trump to run correctly on the issues--all the Breitbart Radio interviews--it made little sense that Bannon & the Mercers wanted Cruz to win. On page 176, Wylie reports he was sued by Cambridge Analytica for poaching their secret client--DONALD TRUMP. As Wylie
3/ writes, "the real revelation...was that Cambridge Analytica was connected with Trump as an off-book client at the same time the firm was working for Mercers' preferred presidential candidate, Ted Cruz. Not only did Bannon have a different agenda than the Mercers, he also had

Backlash to Pete Buttigieg’s Christmas tweet and the religious divide it exposes washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/… // I have been going through the studies at Religion In Public Life written by scholars like Paul Djupe & Ryan Burge who base their analyses on large-scale panel data. The
2/ idea that a Democrat is going to appeal on theological, let alone partisan or ideological grounds, is like thinking you can spit into a hurricane and not get wet. White Evangelical Protestants are religious outliers in study after study. Black Protestants share conservative
3/ religious values--which is why it makes no sense for secular Democrats to attack religion for the sake of attacking religion--but their history and relationship with the federal government leads them to vote Democratic. But, Buttiege's effort, in my opinion, whatever degree of

“Wake up, Republicans. Your party stands for all the wrong things now.”

I agree with the contemporary analysis of the GOP here, but the history seems off. washingtonpost.com/opinions/wake-…
This passage especially took me up short. Remember 2004 when battling gay marriage was a central GOP talking point? Or Sarah Palin’s entire 2008 persona that was just policy-free distilled white rage?
The author seems to be following in the footsteps of Max Boot who put forward a similar narrative about a once principled and inclusive party suddenly taken over by Trump’s exclusionary nastiness.

@JoyAnnReid #Ukraine is a top military arms EXPORTING nation.
Hundreds of million$ in U.S. military aid helps Ukraine sell their weaponry to China!
#Trump continually gives military aid to Ukraine to buy U.S. weapons, including #Javelins not used in #Donbas conflict.

@JoyAnnReid Do you believe Ukraine is now fighting for its survival against an invasion of Russian soldiers with thousands of casualties?
It’s nothing like that.
#ObamaBiden denied all military aid to #Poroshenko fearing that lethal aid would provoke Moscow.
washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/… #JoeBiden
@JoyAnnReid Any time you hear the #BidenProtectionMedia wailing that #tRump denied (delayed) U.S. military aid to fight off Russia’s proxy mercenaries (not Russian soldiers) remember #Biden’s impotence when #Poroshenko begged for military aid.
