Mitt Romney partnered with a man who insisted for years that the first black president had to show massa his papers but @TimAlberta is very upset at how everyone treated Mitt.
Romney pushed the same kind of anti-immigrant xenophobic bs as Trump, he just did it with an inside voice so @TimAlberta and the rest think he should go on Mt Rushmore

This deficit hawk is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker! 'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed 'im to the perch 'e'd be pushing up the daisies!
somewhat related: i have never sat down and watched any monty python stuff. im of course aware of it and i have seen enough of sketches to know them, as theyve been around since before i was born. but ive never WATCHED them. i plan to, soon.
i had a similar situation w dr strangelove, which turned out to be a movie i did not like. and yet even i sometimes still reference the comedy riffs, mostly the jack d ripper bodily fluids bit.

its so odd how these well funded outlets refuse to do this and little old the american independent (and others) do it with no problem
i cover trump stuff in near-real time. i do not find it hard at all to present what he said and note that he's lying. it isn't difficult at all. his lies are not nuanced or hard to uncover.
trump: pelosi did an illegal
msm: here's what trump said, nothing added
me: um, here's what trump said. it isn't true.

this. isn't. hard.

Echoing GOP members of Congress, Trump says his impeachment should be "expunged." This is not a thing. That cannot happen. Donald Trump will be impeached, forever.
Trump says "we were seriously abused by FISA, by what they did, and by what they signed and who signed, and it's a terrible thing." His statement doesn't make clear that Trump understands what the FISA court actually is or who signed what he's upset about.
Echoing his fellow Republicans and Fox News, Trump claims that when @SpeakerPelosi ripped up his wildly inaccurate #SOTU speech "it was illegal what she did" and "she broke the law."

Pelosi did not break the law.

My #BlacksForYang Series 21-28 October.

Sign up for Notifications each time I post...It will be like one of those Twitter Op Eds I did, helps put everything in one place.

Should @AndrewYang worry about reaching & SECURING the Black Vote? #YangGang

@AndrewYang Thread 1: Pandering Vs Meaningful Policy

In 2020..Politicians must spend more effort talking to us not at us..".that candidates’ efforts to engage black communities often focus more on symbolic gestures than MEANINGFUL interactions." #BlacksForYang

vox.com/identities/201…
@AndrewYang What I really want the #YangGangFamily to understand ...ANYONE specifically talking to us about our own issues different to yours is NOT PANDERING...It's pandering when it's all about style (sounding cool, playing hiphop, photo ops etc..) and ZERO SUBSTANCE..no fake interest.

OK tweeps & twerps: It's been some time, but today we resume #IanLivetweetsHisResearch with David Neiwert's Alt-America: The Rise of the Radical Right in the Age of Trump.
(For any concerned parties, since finishing my livetweet of The Reactionary Mind I have read Fascism Today by Shane Burley and Healing from Hate by Michael Kimmel, and am currently a few chapters into Terror, Love, and Brainwashing by Alexandra Stein. I just didn't livetweet em.)

Republicans turned end of life counseling into “death panels.”
It takes some big brass ones to accept GOP propaganda and messaging in the age of Obama and then get mad about using an evocative image to represent some real shit that is happening.
Literally all Republicans did was manufacture outrage! Fox spent months covering two New Black Panthers calmly opening the door for people at a polling station. Drudge *has a siren* for “big” stories. Alex Jones is a person that speaks!

I know I’ve already said it but...damn, this is what finally got y’all to call him racist?
Trump spent 5 years chasing the first black president around asking for his birth certificate and college transcripts. Only we called him racist.
Trump opened his campaign by calling Mexican immigrants (with no distinction between legal and undocumented) thieves and rapists. Only we called him racist.
