Thread of the best post-CNN-town-hall advice on handling Trump

1. Know his psychological profile and emotional needs. Image 2. Get out of your own emotional gratification cycle. You should know that fear is the top motivator for voters. Don't let him create and stoke it baselessly. There's also no excuse for asking questions whose answers will entertain.

This was AMAZING. @SenPizzo gave a fantastic explanation of the latest Florida GOP grift. It starts at the 4:15 mark. I'm attaching a transcript if you'd prefer to read. PIZZO: "Lawrence, if I told you that there's a scheme being devised where there's a pot of five million dollars with no actual attendant costs associated with it. Today I asked what's the cost per investigation, couldn't get an answer, they didn't know.

THE COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE ROOM RATER PINEAPPLE
A Thread For The Benefit Of The Public
Please feel free to post it any time someone asks "What's with all the pineapples?"
πŸπŸ˜€πŸ IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE PANDEMIC. Suddenly everyone on TV was remote, usually live in their own homes.
It took about five minutes for us to start noticing their furniture and decor...and since we were all quarantined, we had nothing else to keep us busy. Image

Pandemic At The Food Pantry πŸ˜€

That's just a light-hearted title. We're all fine.
Some of you may remember that I help my parents run a food pantry. I thought I'd entertain myself by blogging our pandemic-preparedness efforts.

1/infinity Let's start by introducing the food pantry. It's located in a luxurious suite of rooms in my church basement, furnished with shelving you might charitably call 'assorted,' and a herd of freezers and fridges, the oldest of which is about 50 years old.

For your entertainment, we present this
Three-Part Fake Argument

STEP 1:
Blue-check account posts about any Trump-related issue. Notice the thousands of likes and retweets; our bot will be reaching a percentage of those very big numbers ARGUMENT, PART 1:

Whataboutism is a favorite Kremlin debate technique. (I use the term 'debate' loosely, as it implies actual give-and-take.)

I have OFFICIALLY had it with the "concentration camp" linguistics. I will now settle the issue once and for all. 1. AOC et al. only brought it up in the first place as a way to cause this argument.

Quick Public Service THREAD about Who Is Good, Who Is Real, and How To Tell
1/8
We all know there are bots, trolls and complicit Americans (a/k/a treasonweasels) all over Twitter.
We all know Twitter won't properly police their site because the Russians own a big piece of it.
So what if we're unsure of someone's identity or loyalties?

LIAM NEESON THREAD: Don't get overexcited.

First and foremost: Thank goodness he didn't actually do anything violent.
/1
Second: This does not mean he's a psycho killer.
Men over a certain age in our culture were taught all their lives to direct their emotions into a couple of stock responses, mostly not involving expression of those emotions.

NEW IMPROVED TREASONWEASEL THREAD
No need to scroll, or even come to this thread. Just search the name you're looking for with the hashtag #Treasonweasel.
I've given the name of the researcher whose work supports the naming of each Treasonweasel. It's your call whom to trust. First order of business: link to the old #Treasonweasel thread, which has all the sources and references. I personally trust all of them. But trolls have robbed us of a lot of Nethery's work, among other things, so rummaging through the thread isn't easy

Ronald Reagan: The Trump Dry Run
THREAD
Reading The American President by William E. Leuchtenberg, I was brought up short by the comparisons to be made. /1 "Reagan spun one narrative after another that was palpably untrue.... 'He finds it next to impossible to say anything that is not in some crucial way untrue. It's not a credibility gap...it amounts to a reality gap' "--Jack Beatty (page 584) /2
