.@SteveSchmidtSES, who’s just asking questions, wonders how many Trump staff will take up arms after Trump loses in Nov. to keep him power through force
@SteveSchmidtSES Steve Schmidt says a fly landing on Mike Pence during the debate is “the mark of the devil”
@SteveSchmidtSES SS: "It’s never a good sign when a fly lands on you for two minutes, that’s a sign all through history of sin. It’s only safe to say this after midnight. But a fly, he who commands the fly is always seen historically as the mark of the devil."
@SteveSchmidtSES Not the first time lefties have called Republicans Satanic.
.@JoeBiden: "We have no need for armed militias roaming American streets, and we should have no tolerance for extremist white supremacy groups menacing our communities."
@JoeBiden Biden: "Wearing a mask is not a political statement."
@JoeBiden After Biden flees before reporters can ask questions, @NicolleDWallace heralds his remarks as historic: "This was, I thought, Joe Biden at his very best."
MSNBC’s @FrankFigliuzzi1 proposes creating a "bipartisan commission" to vet presidential candidates to prevent another Trump: "We got this wrong, and this can’t happen again."
@FrankFigliuzzi1 More from MSNBC: Jeremy Bash warns voters: "Actually what’s on the ballot is a choice between democracy or whether or not we’re going to revert to some Russian form of dictatorship or autocracy"
@FrankFigliuzzi1 And Eugene Robinson w/ perhaps the most partisan appeal so far: "We have to vote, we have to vote in huge, undeniable numbers. I voted on Tuesday. People are voting in many states across the country now. And, you know, the old saying is voter early and often — but just vote now."
A) This ADL stat should be consumed w/ hefty heaps of salt as the vast majority of this 76 percent are antisemitic attacks, which does not automatically = “right wing.”
B) This is a diversion, meant to distract from the obvious reality of the last 4 months
Look at the report; it clearly started w/ a conclusion and then went looking for data. Many of the “hate incidents” are things like this: "White supremacist Travers Proulx was arrested on first-degree murder charges after he allegedly stabbed his mother” adl.org/murder-and-ext…
If that’s the standard, why not include all gang-related crime, as that often has a racial component? Probably b/c then they could no longer lead the report w/ “right-wing extremists” adl.org/news/press-rel…
The smartest thing Trump ever did was NOT create an overarching “national strategy” for Coronavirus, media caterwauling notwithstanding. 1) There’s no constitutional basis to do so. /1
2) Creating national protocols to counter a virus we still don’t completely understand would've frozen in time our developing understanding of the virus, as every state would be testing the same variables. /2
3) Only through dynamism have we been able to compare and contrast policies' effectiveness, their respective unintended impacts, and thus perform basic risk/reward analyses. /3
.@TrumpWarRoom just sent out 17 proposed questions for tonight’s debate. A few funny ones:
"You recently said you 'got started' at Delaware State University, an HBCU. The school says they have no record of you ever attending. What did you major in there?"
@TrumpWarRoom "Your campaign says it is a ‘lie' that 'the Biden-Harris ticket is the most radically pro-abortion' ticket 'in U.S. history.' Are there any restrictions on abortion that you support, and if so, please be specific?"
