Trump, Alicia Keys and @ScottAbbot put this banger together. City demonisation has never been so catchy! From Monday's Planet America.

@PeterJamesRoth6 @GrogsGamut Peter, questions can be just as likely answered YES or NO. That question in no way implies an answer - it simply describes what we will be asking on the show. And I think the answer was emphatic - you seem to agree with the answer. And yet, you are still angry for some reason. 🤷‍♂️

[Chas Licciardello @chas_usa]

@theredbrigade Totally fair call, Simon. Dunno if you listen to the pod but I have copped it on the chin there. MediaWatch was right- I clearly was breaching the charter. And when they woke me up to it, I stopped doing so. No complaints from me. Like they say: Play up, Own up, Pay up, Shut up!

@PeterWMurphy1 Thanks Peter! It was certainly from the heart. Nancy Mace's campaign made me incredibly angry - I just feel terrible for Sarah McBride. I'm glad you thought I hit the mark.

@Curieus56524179 @marycatedelvey 6/6: I particularly have no time for the Venus person in the video. She seems to really enjoy threatening people with murder. Even though I'm a free speecher, she should be arrested in my view. Or at the very least thrown off all social media platforms.

[Chas Licciardello @chas_usa]

@Curieus56524179 @marycatedelvey 5/x: Sometimes compromise will be impossible - then we try to muddle our way through with as little harm done as possible. But that's not how Nancy Mace played it last week, or how MaryCate is acting in that video, or how those trans people are behaving in the clips spotlighted.

[Chas Licciardello @chas_usa]

@Curieus56524179 @marycatedelvey 4/x: 5) Like I said on the show, the problem is that women's rights will frequently be in conflict with transwomen's rights. I think the only way we get through this is by showing empathy and understanding to both grouping, seeking compromises where possible.

[Chas Licciardello @chas_usa]

@Curieus56524179 @marycatedelvey 3/x: But it WILL get her likes, which is probably all she cares about.
4) I am VERY concerned about women's rights - I get why a woman might be scared of having transgender women in their bathroom. My point was that Nancy Mace can make her point without being exploitative & mean.

@Curieus56524179 @marycatedelvey 2/x: 3) This dimestore "Libs of Tik Tok" wannabe is performing the easiest task on the internet - spotlighting nutjobs, and pretending they are representative of their opponents. It's not helpful, and achieves nothing except making angry partisans feel good about themselves.

[Chas Licciardello @chas_usa]

@Curieus56524179 @marycatedelvey 1/x: 1) Every single person threatening violence and being awful to Nancy Mace are horrible, obviously.
2) Do you think I couldn't make a similar video from the other side? Social media empowers nutjobs to be as loud and extreme as possible in the hopes of getting attention.

[Chas Licciardello @chas_usa]

@marynolanfan Mary, not sure you understand that I was talking about the Senate - not the Presidency. The Dems are very likely to win the Presidency in 2028. But my point was they are terribly positioned to win the Senate for years and years, unless things change considerably.

[Chas Licciardello @chas_usa]

@Spanks31 My prediction is - within 3 months R partisans will be talking about how amazing the economy is, and they'll give Trump credit for it - even though the actual numbers won't have changed very much by then. That's exactly what happened in 2016 (even though it wasn't as good then).

[Chas Licciardello @chas_usa]

@DanielJMattes Sorry Daniel! The best I have for you is that there’ll be another election in 4 years!

[Chas Licciardello @chas_usa]

@minke555 At the abc we get ap vote cast which isn’t public. But the wapo site is looking pretty good at the moment generally.

[Chas Licciardello @chas_usa]

Screw going on a sweet junket. The party’s at the ABC!

[Chas Licciardello @chas_usa]

I don't know who the cameraman is, but their silent response was hilariously brutal https://t.co/Eqsays6Ngp

[RockGod @TheHoustonWade]

Trump: "we always have huge crowds and never any empty seats."

Cameraman: *pans camera*

[Chas Licciardello @chas_usa]

@NorelleFeehan @PeterWMurphy1 Well I just recorded 1 hour 40mins comparing Trump’s and Harris’ tax policies for Pep. So get into that this afternoon!

[Chas Licciardello @chas_usa]

@JillMartinek @PeterWMurphy1 Except I obviously don’t have trumpist views. I’d love you to tell me some of these trumpist views of mine!
