    Hey US media folks, here, I would argue immodestly, is how you interview a Trump supporter on Trump's lies:

    Who will be the 1st White House correspondent to ask Trump - what about your use of ‘pussy’ for Cruz? ‘Son of a bitch’ for Kaepernick? ‘Motherf*ckers’ for Chinese government? ‘Slobs, pigs and dogs’ for various women? Anyone? Will any reporter ask Trump about his own profanities?

    Nixon won 49 states. House Judiciary Committee voted to impeach him 18 months later.

    Ben, your staff is constantly replying to every AOC tweet begging to get dunked on as if it's some badge of honor. Maybe instead of passively aggressively tweeting about it, you should take a look at yourselves.

  8. This is a key point from Chris - folks keep saying ‘don’t call him mentally ill’, and ‘don’t diagnose him from afar’, but we would all be seriously concerned if someone we knew personally spoke and behaved the way the U.S. Commander-in-Chief does (!)

    I am 100% sure that NOTHING unnerves Trump more than a Palestinian American Muslim WOMAN, newly elected to Congress from Deroit, saying “Impeach this Motherfucker.” I’m here for it. And I’m here for how damn dumb conservatives now look calling for nice language & civility.

    “Trump proceeded to tell the room he was too popular to impeach. Along with saying the word “fuck” at least 3 times throughout the meeting, the president bizarrely stated that he did not want to call the...shutdown a “shutdown”...Instead, he referred to it as a “strike.””

    i'm always amazed that there's never one WH reporter, after being showered w/ lies from Trump for an hour, who has the courage to raise his/her hand and say, 'why do you lie about everything?'

    Yet another Tory MP linked to Tommy Robinson: today 's FB "found to be a member of a group supporting the far-right leader" Why does this keep happening? Note: you can't be added "without accepting an invitation...or requesting to join"

    Last note: There will be many on the right & in the media who will mock for calling for tax rates at 60 or 70, but they're the ones who are economically illiterate. They're basing their view on an outdated and ideological understanding of taxation, not on the best research.

    A quick thread on the economics of a much higher top rate for the super-rich. TL;DR version is that is on very solid ground here. There is a lot of evidence that from an economic and fiscal perspective, we'd be way better off with top rates approaching 70.

    Of all the Palestinians living under Israeli control in the de facto, single state that exists between the Jordan River & Mediterranean Sea, *only one in four* have the right to vote in Israeli elections.

    Ted Nugent went on stage and called President Obama a “piece of shit” and Hillary Clinton a “worthless bitch.” Then Trump invited him to the White House. Spare me all your fake outrage about Rashida Tlaib using a bad word to call for Trump’s impeachment.

    So yeah, Trump was just completely making stuff up in the Rose Garden today when he was making the case for his border wall. Here are some examples.

    To all the plutocrats and philanthropists who write me saying, “OK, fine, you got us, we’re guilty of upholding a bad system, but what can we practically do right now?” Be a traitor to your class and publicly support something like this.

    I was thinking the same thing when he used that particular word. He made sure that someone showed him who she was beforehand to see how best 2 characterize her & his insult. I’m sure that he was quite proud 2 use that 2 describe her. Reminded me of when he talked about Mrs Khan
