tuning into #TheDrum for some US insurrection discussion.
“the secret service has final say over the presidents person” is one for the West Wing brain crew (I was West Wing brain crew once upon a time) #TheDrum
“it’s the presidents job constitutionally to defend every law in America” is West Wing brain swoon lol #TheDrum
the vast majority of Americans who voted for Donald Trump have made up their minds [on the insurrection] and are not going to change - Arvanitakis. #TheDrum
refreshing fact check imo. Fanning reverts immediately to a “both sides of the aisle” narrative because there are Republicans on the Jan 6 committee but there is no evidence whatsoever that means anything to Trump voters. Bothsides coverage is mostly media vanity. #TheDrum
I mean look at what Banon went on to do even after a bunch of Australian journos defended the projected and delusional supposed utility of Sarah Ferguson asking him tuff questions lol like that makes any difference.
the Republicans might decide against endorsing Trump again after the mid-terms, says Planet America bloke whose name I forget. He says there are a lot of Trump-y candidates being endorsed right now. Pre-loaded like the SCOTUS I guess. #TheDrum
the Republican Party is authoritarian to its core, says Fanning. Another refreshing fact check. Seems to be the night for it #TheDrum
there are no democratic returns there is no accountability, Fanning says, reading from an LSE prof published in the Atlantic. Is this how democracies die in the 21st century? Can this candidate [Trump] run again? He could win again? #TheDrum
Phelps takes this Q to the second amendment and the level of gun ownership. Says ifTrump is re-elected American democracy is in trouble, or will be #TheDrum
