@NPRinskeep NPR and Fox both report news through partisan filters. Same with every major news org we could name. The unicorn is the rare partisan outlet than can report against interest to reach toward fairness and objectivity. @nprnews has not been in that category for a generation.
@Kasparov63@EWErickson In many ways, this was the “horse head in the bed” scenario. The enemies of the USA carefully calculated what the Don could and couldn’t do—and were set to absorb his best shot. But this was beyond their imagination & proved they really couldn’t comprehend what he was capable of
Media created environment in which Dems cause pain and blame the opposition w/ impunity. Why not cause even more pain? But Dems always overplay their hand. This backfires fairly soon. Totally down w/ a Trump campaign to shame media into reporting the obvious truth. Fact Check?
The power of @megynkelly blows me away. 1hr25m of @wethefifth guys yucking it up and mostly singing the Amen Chorus. @mcmoynihan and @kmele can do better. @MattWelch probably maxed. I don’t think this relationship is sustainable. Even apologetic pushback offends the host.
The vaunted @realDonaldTrump instincts and penchant for the pivot. Assuming nothing more to his association with #Epstein than we already know, won’t be surprised at an about face and determination to give Dems the transparency they suddenly desire. Flipping the script again.
Framer’s Premise. We can trust GW with a lot of exec power but we know even GW has human flaws and also he will die someday. Limit exec. Age of Trump premise: DJT is infallible and he will be president forever. We need a few checks. Let’s avoid placing too much faith in princes.
The speech was not Lincolnian—not at all in the grand inaugural tradition. It was a cross between a SOTU and campaign victory speech. No grace notes for the vanquished. But, having said that, it was an inspirational inaugural. God bless Carrie Underwood and Pastor Sewell.
Call it @twitter. Fine. My family called refrigerators the “ice box” into the 21st century. Call it @X . Fine. It’s how it identifies. But stop calling it “@X the social media formerly known as @twitter.” The joke is totally played and a waste of words and time.
Remembering #DianneFeinstein. God rest her soul. She was a statesman who understood comity, patriotism, and the role of the upper chamber. She was my favorite California senator for three decades. Not replaceable.
Senate Majority Leader Schumer directs the Sergeant at Arms to no longer enforce the Senate's dress code -- to accommodate the senator who wants to wear this outfit to perform his duties. From @axios: https://t.co/M6NwVLTi3z
I have not said this for more than 20 years regarding a Texas Democrat, but I think this fellow has a real shot. Of course, he will need to run approximately 10-15 points ahead of the national party standard bearer. Tough. But maybe not impossible.
🇺🇸 I’m Colin Allred, and I’m the Democrat running for Senate against Ted Cruz. I’m counting on 50,000 supporters to endorse my campaign by 11:59 p.m. Please, will you personally endorse my campaign now and join our people-powered movement?
