- Twitter puts warning labels on nine of his tweets
- Just ban him already

I've been warning you for a long time that once Trump lost, he'd be focused entirely on trying to avoid prison, and he might try to scare us into giving him an immunity deal. He'll only pull it off if we fall for his bluff. I'm not inclined to gullibly make Trump's life easier.
How do I know he's bluffing? Because he's Donald Trump. He's a bullshitter. He's always bluffing. He loudly threatens to do Impossible Evil Thing A, to scare us and distract us from the fact that he's quietly doing Evil Thing B. It only works if we fall for the impossible threat.
Trump spent 2018 loudly threatening to pardon his co-conspirators, which he couldn't even do, due to legal complications. But we were so scared by it, it took us way too long to notice that Trump was secretly locking immigrant kids in cages. The imaginary pardons were distraction
By continuing to drag out this charade, Trump has forced his sometimes-allies like Tucker Carlson, Ben Sasse, and Mitt Romney to finally throw him all the way under the bus tonight. The longer this goes on, Trump will have even less leverage, not more leverage.
I am embarrassed to be a political journalist. This is a profession full of bullshitters who promote nonsensical doomsday hype in the hope of scaring people into staying tuned in, because all they care about is ratings and page views.
I am embarrassed to be a political activist. Most of you eagerly sit around and lap up this doomsday bullshit, because you're more interested in feeling the adrenaline rush of panicking than you are in the truth, or in trying to win.
Democratic politicians do a good job of fighting and winning for us. They really do.
If there's one thing they underestimate, it's how far removed from reality a lot of Democratic supporters are, after MSNBC spends all day convincing them of impossible doomsday scenarios.
Democratic politicians are always trying to convince us to get up and fight and win, which is the right approach. But far too many of us are too busy hiding under our beds from imaginary ghosts, all because MSNBC wants to hit its ratings marks.
Are we really going to ask Democratic politicians to spend time coddling us and convincing us to come out from our beds? Because when they have to push those narratives, they can't really push the narratives that win political battles. Those narratives aren't compatible.
The fatalists on our side are doing extreme harm today by running around insisting that Trump might find some way to magically overturn the election. These gullible dumb fucks on our side are handing Trump leverage that he doesn't have. I will forever resent the hell out of them.
The facts and evidence make clear that there is a literally 100% precent chance Biden will take office. Just because your brain is too fucked up to process that evidence, it doesn't make it untrue. It just makes you part of the problem. SIT DOWN. Let the rest of us fight and win.
Trump knows he has a literally 0.0% chance of magically remaining in office. But you gullible types are handing him leverage that he can use to demand concessions, such as immunity, on his way out the door. You're unwittingly helping him. SIT THE FUCK DOWN.
