@rossacrosswi Let’s not forget his comfy seat in the Fox Board Room, where he serves as the chair of the corporate governance committee for a corporation that spreads toxic informational waste into the nation’s bloodstream every day.
🚨 Kelly speaks to the NYT
"He said that, in his opinion, Mr. Trump met the definition of a fascist, would govern like a dictator if allowed, and had no understanding of the Constitution or the concept of rule of law."

@craigcalcaterra My 18-year-old surprised me the other day walking around with new clothes I thought looked like they were straight outta the 90s , turned out they were, he bought them online vintage.
Mark Milley to Bob Woodward: Trump “the most dangerous person ever. I had suspicions when I talked… about his mental decline & so forth, but now I realize he’s a total fascist. He is now the most dangerous person to this country.
“A fascist to the core.”

Obama on Trump's lies and manipulation: "I want to ask Republicans out there, people who are conservative you didn't vote for me ... when did that become okay? Why would we go along with that? I mean if your coworkers acted like that, they wouldn't be your coworkers very long"
@AnnJacobsMKE @kcasper13 I say that as a US congressman he is presumed to know the truth before posting and therefore must also be presumed to be lying to stoke outrage and foster the belief there is no truth, there is only power. It's malignant.
@RadioFreeTom The amount of stress it would take for someone to break from Trump after accumulating 9 years of severe cognitive dissonance would seemingly be in the million megaton range for lots of folks. Still feel we have to believe it can happen on the margins that matter, though
Trump and Vance's demagoguery is disgusting. But what strikes me is the reaction from Trump's cultured apologists and sophisticated enablers, in magazines and in boardrooms. What reaction, you ask? That's the point. There's none. Just pitiful silence in the face of rank bigotry.
For Trump, Republicans repudiated their former political principles on everything from NATO to trade. For Trump, they acquiesced in a violent coup against the Constitution. For Trump, they jettisoned the family and sexual morality they supposedly cherished. All - to lose.
@kurteichenwald The dividing line in America today is between people who believe the law is like a strike zone and judges are supposed to call balls and strikes and those who believe the law is is whatever MAGA wants, facts and precedent be damned.
The greatest challenge for the Harris-Walz campaign is rejecting the narrative that this is a normal race. Yes, talk about the economy, but this isn’t a race about the economy.
This is why Harris should use the debates to prosecute Donald Trump. It’s not 2012 with two candidates who loved America but had differing ideologies. Republicans have nominated a criminal, a sexual predator, a pathological liar, a candidate of Russia.
Great campaigns lead voters, not follow polls. No poll showed hope and change a driving issue in 2008. Or restoring honor and dignity to the White House in 2000.
Republicans want to pretend Trump is like a normal candidate. Our media was taught to believe objectivity was the greatest good. The latter helps the former, denying the truth of the moment as they struggle to tell both sides of a lie.
Supporting Trump is not about left vs right. It’s a character test. Embrace that truth. Prosecute Trump and make it impossible to deny if you are supporting Trump, you are accepting that character doesn’t count.
What is “weird” and what is “normal” in America?
Democrats are, finally, asserting their right to define the boundaries of normalcy – and their claim to be defending the nation’s true ideals against the reactionary assault.
