Cal alum. Ex-GOP. Suspended twice by Twitter for wishing ill on members of the North Korean regime and restating Trump’s preferred border control policy.
@AntSpeaks Agree. Among the things I’ve seen that break immersion:
Jason Bourne
Lupita Nyong’o
Anne Hathaway
Zendaya
Spider-Man
Batman
“Daddy”
“Let’s go!”
Nolan’s thesis that “Daddy” connects better with modern sensibilities than “Father”: that is demonstrably false. If he’s wrong there…
@ProjectLincoln@TheRickWilson The end of the Trump presidency may involve a Scarface-style bullet bacchanal with blasted fortified doors, grenade launchers, smoke…Oh, and Tony’s little friend.
@THR@RadioFreeTom As a fresh-off-the-boat immigrant kid from Korea, I learned English from Randolph Mantooth and Kevin Tighe by watching shows like “Emergency!” And “Adam 12.” They were early American archetypes for a kid discovering American popular culture. Not bad models for a kid to have.
@RadioFreeTom If Trump truly believes his own cognitive test 🐂 💩, that is genuinely troubling for a sitting president of the United States. If he knows that those cognitive tests are merely to exclude things like Alzheimer’s as a cause for his bizarro behavior, that’s not reassuring either.
@svdate@RadioFreeTom This answers a burning question I had: What would be the architectural design expression equivalent to a hypothetical love child between Uday Hussein and Liberace?
@charlescwcooke It’s reasonable to judge from the trailers that Nolan made some goofy calls: black Helen; Daddy?: Let’s go? Many are wary of Refresh Revisionism to sync with modern tastes. Hooked On Classics sought to popularize Beethoven by overlaying synthesizer drumbeats on the Ode to Joy.
@JonahDispatch Pointing out MAGA hypocrisy should be an imperative at every turn. That doesn’t justify Platner, and sensible people are not. Your article is meant for the partisan nihilists. The Dems ultimately did what The GOP couldn’t with Trump, though I do concede it’s not 🍎 to 🍎 case.
@EricLDaugh I will accord you the respect of assuming that you are fine being a regime propagandist because it’s a nice gig and that you simply can’t be the MAGA incel your daily - hourly - posts suggest you are because no one can be this gullible who doesn’t choose to be.
I would be bad at my job if I applauded every thing a politician did. I do my best to give policy advice. Trump’s efforts to get NATO to rearm have been successful. Rubio working with Denmark privately to meet security needs in Greenland works. Trump’s threats are indefensible.
@SarahLongwell25@gtconway3d Whenever they do Fox News spots, they have to check their souls in at the front like checking in cell phones before entering a SCIF. They know the narrative. They know the assignment.
There is an obvious hypocrisy in the right’s smugness over the Dem’s Platner debacle. This is ground the GOP gave up when it endorsed Trump in 2016. The party of morality and character is also all in on Ken Paxton. Gleeful righties need to sit this one out. It looks ridiculous.
🚨 NEW: Rep Debbie Dingell (D) SLAMS Democrats for ignoring Platner scandal, telling Fox’s @DanaPerino that Dems made a mistake by not believing Lyndsey Fifield's concerns: “I didn’t sleep the other night. When are we actually going to believe those who come forward? We’ve made progress, but we haven’t changed.”
@BillKristol@RadioFreeTom Trump just nixed a bi-partisan election agency. We know where this is going. If you accept that part of Trump’s psychology in running again was staying out of jail, imagine what the threat of endless, embarrassing congressional investigations is doing to that bean in his head.
Trump ousts the three remaining members of a federal election assistance panel, crippling the bipartisan agency ahead of the midterms. https://t.co/ieZXWrxlOy
@sousi_brown@guypbenson He had organic, passionate support from Mainers, so good people were hungry for a leader who seemed plugged into their hopes and fears. But smart Mainers must’ve realized Platner would be damaged going in and likely wouldn’t survive DC, and the ultimate loser would be Mainers.
