"Bolton recounts numerous private conversations Trump had with other leaders that revealed the limits of his knowledge. He recalls Trump asking Kelly if the nation of Finland is part of Russia." One for @gtconway3d's Trump/geography Twitter thread.

"He also describes a summer 2019 meeting in New Jersey where Trump says journalists should be jailed so they have to divulge their sources: “These people should be executed. They are scumbags,” Trump said, according to Bolton's account."
"the main goal of [Trump's pro-MBS] missive was to take away attention from a story about Ivanka Trump using her personal email for government business. “This will divert from Ivanka,” Trump said... “If I read the statement in person, that will take over the Ivanka thing.”
"Bolton described Trump’s inordinate interest in Pompeo delivering an autographed copy of Elton John’s “Rocket Man” CD to Kim...Trump originally used the term “Rocket Man” to criticize the North Korean leader but subsequently tried to convince Kim that it was a term of affection"

Ilhan Omar made a misjudged remark about "Benjamins" & for weeks we talked about her alleged antisemitism, the left's bigotry, & Congress passed a resolution.

Trump told the president of China he was ok with him locking up a million Muslims in concentration camps.

Silence.
Nobody gives a damn about Muslims or Islamophobia, part 774.
To be clear: before the pedants get in my mentions, yes, people are tweeting about it, including some journalists, but it's not leading the news, or on any front pages right now, and will be forgotten by tomorrow.

The US president taking a pro-genocide-of-Muslims position! FFS.

I defer to no one in my loathing for George W Bush - who one day I hope will face justice for his lies, war crimes, and torture! - but... and there is a ‘but,’ sorry...

...can you imagine Donald Trump putting out a message or video like this? Can you??
To be clear: I’m not trying to whitewash George W Bush or his awful, vicious presidency.

On the contrary, I’m saying that *even* a lying war criminal gets to come across as a half-decent, compassionate, human leader next to the sociopathic and soulless Trump.
The levels of disingenuousness, dumbness, bad faith and pointless attempts at point-scoring in some of the comments below this thread of mine makes me want to both and cry at the same time.

I just binge-watched the three seasons of #Ozark
on @netflix over the past week or so. What an amazing show and am shocked I came so late to it. Phenomenal performances by Jason Bateman and Laura Linney and all the case. Literally by all of them. 1/
But my favorite character and performance was from Julia Garner as "Ruth Langmore". She steals every scene she's in. Her lines are so good - especially when she goes after Frank Jr for parking in a disabled spot. 2/
Also, #Ozark makes better use of the F-word than any other show I've ever come across on television. #justsayin
