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

    This is how people like Trump and Weinstein manage to survive for so long. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/08/us/politics/trump-corker.html?action=click&module=Top%20Stories&pgtype=Homepage&_r=0 …pic.twitter.com/ctvkCQNTwO

        How you can "like" someone who you recognize is so unstable and threatens WW3 is just beyond me. These guys really know how to compartmentalize

        I sort of hope Corker's just calculating Trump will want to be loved again by his friend but we're so far beyond that. Man needs shunned

        There seem to be a fair number of people who find Trump nice in person (from https://poetsandquants.com/2016/07/17/professor-donald-trump/ …).pic.twitter.com/PdccMNrA3j

        Oh, definitely. But that's because they compartmentalize what is visible abusiveness. Bc Trump is abusing others, he's fine to hang with.

        Up to a point--per that article, the prof and Trump had been insulting each other. It was personal--but the prof *still* came away happy.

        turning on people with power or influence is dangerous. Much of the harm can be invisible. Shit just dries up.

        “He’s done XYZ horrible/racist/rapist act but he’s a good guy.” is a pretty solid theme in white guy land.

        Even when you know they’ve done wrong, it’s hard to condemn those you know personally.
