@ColinKahl@jonathanchait It must be such a mindfuck to want to help your country at such a high level, but to be working for someone who is literally antithetical to everything you believe & want.
@radcheet @bernardigiri @trucollector74 @KaivanShroff @davebabler But maybe we should recognise that he has done a lot more than most of the other billionaires, and instead of shame him, instead try the good old fashion nudge.
@JamesHasson20@jaketapper This article is the perfect prism for why HRC was a terrible candidate.
Trump is manifestly a terrible human being, in almost literally every way.
But HRC's husband rode a plane with a pedo nickname 26 times, and that's supposed to have no bearing?
@realDonaldTrump BAHAHAHAHA!!! I'm not sure what's funnier/sadder: that my 8 yo could come up with a better excuse, or that millions of idiots will choose to believe yours.
@DanPoyourow @MaddowBlog My biggest concern is that they'll boost Dems just to amplify the distrust in democracy.
Putin's intuitions align with the GOP's, but taking down democracy and the rule of law is a greater prize than just political alignment.
@shills4jill@RadioFreeTom @AltaCalifornian @StephanieCarvin@carolecadwalla@nprfreshair I'm not American. And I agree, wholeheartedly, that Russia-Trump is a distraction from important problems, including Leftist overbearing.
But that's a reason why info warfare is so important: attention. Where we spend our time & focus is inherently important.
@shills4jill @AltaCalifornian @StephanieCarvin@carolecadwalla@nprfreshair Also, damaging or strengthing Trump are almost equally positive outcomes for Putin; either he gets explicit help, or he damages US leadership in such a way that that the power vacuum leaves him stronger.
@realJeffreyLord@brianstelter "Let's make this"
It's like you people assume we are deaf & blind, and can't judge what we see Trump do & say without an interpreter.
@shills4jill@RadioFreeTom @AltaCalifornian @StephanieCarvin@carolecadwalla@nprfreshair Of course, there isn't a tally golf blood. I absolutely agree that that it's not Dresden, or Nan king.
But war isn't just the body count, and if your generals are only looking at that score today then they will lose.
@RadioFreeTom @AltaCalifornian @StephanieCarvin@carolecadwalla@nprfreshair Sorry Tom, but you're not right. You have a significant portion of your countrymen inviting Russian interference, and this has been cultivated almost entirely online.
