@LarrySabato I think it’s pretty clear Ford’s decision to pardon Nixon didn’t move the nation beyond that nightmare. Instead, it pretty clearly laid the groundwork for our current situation.

@LarrySabato Gov Jesse “The Body” Ventura’s sleeper hold knocked them out and now they’re looking for a pillow! It all makes perfect sense!

@RadioFreeTom Notice how he refers to them as “Big TRUMP Rallies” instead of rallies for Collins. He just can’t allow anyone else to be the center of attention.

@LarrySabato May I have a German word: WIRRWARR (confusion, jumble, chaos). Plus, it has the added benefit of being fun to say!

@dieworkwear Did any of the press corps ask about that little conundrum? Seems like a pretty obvious question, but the state of our press being driven by access over everything else is genuinely depressing too.

[George McDaniel @GeorgeHMac]

@LarrySabato Yes, but do they vote?

@Acyn @MeidasTouch Ok, I would appreciate any member of the White House Press Corps to print this out and ask him to point to Iran. For the love of God, can we please stop giving him the benefit of the doubt that he actually knows anything.

Hello again! Here's our piece from Sunday about Twitter. Bye! https://t.co/KqA7EUY18B

@nicklopiccolo Fin/ Both Jesus and St Nick were historical figures whose existence became intermixed with myths and, in Jesus’s case, divinity (Council of Nicea was convened to decide that). Anyway, believe whatever you would like to believe, but just don’t use that belief to harm others.

[George McDaniel @GeorgeHMac]

@nicklopiccolo 4/ It’s noteworthy he compares Jesus to Santa Claus because there was also an historical figure Saint Nicholas. He was a bishop from Myra who attended the Council of Nicea in 325. There’s no archaeological record of him either, but again that’s meaningless…

[Larry Sabato @LarrySabato]

Absolutely! You wouldn't want "academics and elites" who have actually studied a subject to outweigh the off-the-cuff opinions of village idiots. This is how we're seeing the resurgence of measles, and the widespread belief in almost non-existent vote fraud, among many other great leaps backward in the Trump era. Cronkite would be so very proud of you. @CBSNews

@LarrySabato The press should just carry around a printout and hand it to anyone who claims not to have seen it. Then stand there and wait for them to read it. And ask again!

[George McDaniel @GeorgeHMac]

@Smuphy If you’ve not seen it, the “20 Feet From Stardom” documentary is a must-watch.

@nut_history Tommy Gregg…When I was 6 we went to an event in Charleston, SC for Hurricane Hugo relief (early 1990)…Dale Murphy, Tommy Gregg, John Smoltz, and Tom Glavine were there…Got a ball signed by all 4 and had to ask Glavine and Smoltz what position they played…

@AstorAaron Does this mean that simply firing the labor statistics person doesn’t actually work?

@BunkiePerkins Waffle House is too busy making real food to concern itself with cheap gimmicks
