Official Definition: A #nastyquestion is one that gets to the truth.

A #nastyquestion is one that makes it hard (but not impossible) for Trump lie.

Nothing can actually stop Trump from lying and blaming others.

Moreover, as Trump uses the word, "nasty" applies to women.
Well she asked a smart question and made him look stupid😂

@Yamiche rocks.

(Thread) The Uses of Outrage

Dear Democrats and other Trump Critics: Trump is trying to outrage you. It's a deliberate ploy, and creates what we might call the Outrage Dilemma.

Let's consider what Trump accomplishes when he does something deliberately horrifying . . .
1/ Each time Trump does something outrageous, he accomplishes 4 things:

🔹He keeps his base excited.
🔹He enrages his critics.
🔹He batters democratic institutions, and
🔹He fulfills his campaign promise, which was to “protect” his followers from their “enemies.”
2/ "Enemy" is defined as anyone who opposes Trump.

He also engages in what @TimothyDSnyder calls governing by crisis and spectacle. (Yes, it's a deliberate tactic.)

In an ordinary democracy, a normal leader like Obama tries to make life better for the citizens.

Political historian @HC_Richardson has written extensively about the history of oligarchy in the US. Her writing dovetails with one of my other favorite scholars, @TimothyDSnyder.

She has a newsletter, which I subscribe to:
heathercoxrichardson.substack.com

1/
2/ Without going back to check, I'm pretty sure it was from
these two books that I came to understand that the US was tilting toward our third oligarchy.

We're not there yet, which I why the coming election is crucial.

The other scholar that helps explain where we are. . .
3/ . . . is Hungarian scholar Bálint Magyar, who has done work on what he calls the Post-Communist Mafia States.

I've written threads about our three oligarchies (slavery, age of robber barons, and now, slipping into a mafia state).

(Thread) Changing MAGA minds

The coronavirus could throw a wrench into the Fox-Trump-Koch-Murdoch-GOP propaganda machine by demonstrating:

🔹how the lies hurt people, including MAGA people, and
🔹why a well-funded functioning government is necessary.

1/ Until now, the Trump-FOX-GOP willingly embraced Trump's lies because they knew the lies destroyed and they wanted to destroy.

If you’re a new follower, see my Slate article:
slate.com/news-and-polit…

There are, however, limits to what the Fox-Trump-GOP wants to destroy.
2/ They want to destroy and dismantle the federal government to return to the glorious 1920s when (white) men had almost complete personal liberty.

But they don’t want their stock portfolio wiped out and they don’t want their family members to die from avoidable causes.

Welcome to today's #Trump #ImpeachmentTrial thread (potentially one of a few)! I've been playing around with tags a little in other tweets this morning but for now, I'm going to stick with the two I've used here. That may change later on, though. Follow/mute at will!
Today is going to be procedural stuff. The Senate will have to approve the (completely BS) rules proposed by McConnell. Dems will offer amendments, of course, but since a simple majority rules I don't have a lot of hope any of the amendments will pass. #Trump #ImpeachmentTrial
For those of you just tuning in, McConnell is proposing that this trial have:

Zero witnesses
Zero admitted evidence
Ridiculously little time set aside for opening arguments and questions.
As little sunlight as possible.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed
