.@marcorubio I will answer this directly. Biden does talk abt unity and healing. He means it. The overarching Dem message in 2020 was that Donald Trump was a dangerous, unfit and predatory President who needed to be removed from office along ... talkingpointsmemo.com/news/rubio-twe… via @TPM
2/ with the cowardly, authoritarian-curious enablers who sustained his corrupt rule. Many other critical priorities. None at all possible without first ending Donald Trump's predatory, lawless rule. You were and are an archetypical cowardly and corrupt enabler.
3/ You know who Trump is but your weak character and bad political values allowed you to line up behind him and make possible his assaults on the constitution, the rule of law and countless fellow Americans. You're not alone. Virtually every Republican in Congress made ...
4/ the same decisions, albeit few with more obsequiousness and lack of dignity. So yes, we need to protect the country from lawless authoritarians like Donald Trump. And we need to protect the country from people like you who look away while a Donald Trump assaults ...
5/ the constitution and the country itself. You know what you did and you know who Donald Trump is. Admit it and maybe you can move forward or start acting like someone who cares his country. So yes, national unity is essential. America can't be governed by a corrupt warlord ...
6/ who thinks he's only the President of his own voters and preys on everyone else. There's no doubt that Biden will try to be a President for all Americans, seeking the best for supporters and opponents. But yes, you acted like a fucker and are a fucker. There's no ...
7/ contradiction here. Grow the fuck up.

Can anyone tell me what is new about this BI story about Kushner setting up the campaign shell company? To the best of my knowledge the name of the company was known, its "shell company" use within the campaign was known, a rough sense of its budget, etc. etc.
2/ This isn't a lo-fi criticism. I'm actually trying to understand what part of this is new. It seems to be possibly Kushner's role setting it up? Or the roll of a Pence nephew failson?
3/ So having read through the piece and checked some earlier notes, it seems like the existence of this company, its scale, how it used money etc has all been reported before. What is new is the role of Lara Trump and secondarily Pence's nephew.
in this case I assume the actual email is likely genuine. but it actually means nothing. People amend returns all the time. the premise of the story is that he found out he needed to amend a return and simply didn’t.
2/ But there’s no reason to think this at all. It’s just a selectively leaked single email from someone the reporter knows is simply trying to damage Biden. If a piece of info speaks for itself or is clearly genuine it doesn’t really matter who the source is.
3/ But in this case neither is true. clearly Giuliani has all the emails. He says as much and can produce them at will. So a reporter is certainly going to say you need to show me all the adjacent emails so I know what it means.
I’m seeing various reports that Giuliani says he’s getting the same Regeneron antibodies cocktail that Trump got. But that doesn’t seem to be precisely what he said in the radio interview. Said it was the exact same as what the President got but from what I can tell ...
2/ didn’t detail exactly which mix of therapies. He did however say President Trumps doctor was involved in his treatment. This is worth getting to the bottom of because it seems possible here that President Trump is making sure his high risk friends get a treatment ...
3/ most of the public doesn’t have access to. Please drop into this thread any links that have granular specifics on just what we know about this.
@jbouie@lionel_trolling this is really the crux. a basic disconnect over who is in charge of defining the mission of policing, who decides what the job is and whether police and their unions are meaningfully subordinate to political authority. It's sort of clarifying if we imagined the military ...
@jbouie@lionel_trolling 2/ in a comparable way, with a powerful union that was a big player in civilian politics, various sorts of slowdowns in response to efforts to enforce accountability, open resistance to civilian decisions about what nat sec policy shld be.
@jbouie@lionel_trolling 3/ People can point to various ways in which the US military does operate like this. The professional military builds deep relationships on capitol hill. Major weapons programs are spread out over many or all states to anchor political support. All true. But ...
Curious how many people caught this reference about people in Georgia who claim "we were here also" and will "take over your farm" under the Democrats.
2/ Confiscations of white farms in southern Africa is a huge topic on the white supremacist right in the US. He's dog whistling that, saying that slave reparations will mean black folks will be given your farm.
Oh dear: Rudy's costar at that voter fraud clown show "hearing" in Michigan just got off probation for harassment campaign/restraining order violation that involved her sending multiple sex tapes to her boyfriends ex-wife. deadlinedetroit.com/articles/26813…
it was really either this or she was part of the new borat film
2/ The true chef's kiss - given the role of hacking/computer crimes in the fraud claims - is that part of what she was charged for was trying to cover her digital tracks and claim the vids weren't from her. She was working on a computer security degree from ITT tech at the time.
