Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

    Not my beat, but it'd be useful to have a brand of journalism that talks abt likely consequences of Trump actions, so when people suffer bc of them they know to blame him and not the brown people Trump will scapegoat.

        It effects Iowan farmers and white women Trump voters. They just don't have the awareness to know

        Their awareness or not is wilful. I have more respect for the intelligence & agency of both groups to believe that the problem is a lack of information.

        Almost any brand of journalism would be preferable to the one we have observed non-stop since the election: the uncritical parroting of anonymous sources espousing the Russia, Russia, Russia theme.

        Says the guy who thinks Papadopoulos was set up so Hillary and the FBI could blame Russia for some reason. Lol

        Papadop was plainly set up ("Putin's niece?" Come on, man). The issues are by whom and whether he was just eagerly gullible or something more nefarious. No conclusions are possible without understanding who Mifsud was acting for. Where are the journalists?

        Unfortunately, unless it aired on fox, it'd be lost on those most in need. The trumpers I know, though small in number, all believe fox and disbelieve other media. #FairnessDoctrine is needed to right our ship. We're on the shoals, the only thing that'll lift us is truth.

        That would work if people gave a shit about evidence when they thought about politics.

        I’ve been screaming this since Jan 20,2017. Is there a reason why Democrats couldn’t hold daily press conferences outlining every action taken by this admin along with the consequences?Like sky rocketing health ins premiums and oil prices-ppl should know why & blame accordingly
