Republicans do what he tells them. The media gives him the oxygen the dumpster fire needs to burn. The solution is to show that the man behind the curtain is senile & decomposing pile of lies and nonsense. And spotlighting his decline is one way to get it started. [2/2]
@jonfavs, gotta disagree with you on @PodSaveAmerica about #TrumpDecline not mattering. No, he's not running for re-election and no, there's no 25th ouster coming either. But the problem is not just that he is President - it's that he is in charge. [1/2]
@jonlovett and @PodSaveAmerica, thanks for the great dialogue on #DaylightSavingTime. Jon's conclusions match what I wrote about in a blog post 3 years ago and then reposted on Medium more recently.
The key is that the time zone boundaries are fundamentally flawed and any solution that doesn't allow for fixing the boundaries will be met with jusified tesistance. Jon's suggestion seems like a clever way to get the most people to agree on at least the first step forward.
@SamoasCookies How can something be "certified gluten free" but then have a warning about being manufactured in a shared facility with wheat!? @girlscouts#glutenfree
@carlosodio@PodSaveAmerica Fair point. I'm more hung up on the distinction between reality and fiction in the world at large but I see your point about the information silos about the reality of the world and how that results in votes.
@carlosodio on @PodSaveAmerica you said "the people who voted for donald trump essentially live in an entirely different reality". We should be more deliberate with the words - it isn't a different reality, it is a fiction and we need call it what it is. https://t.co/02bqdV6nEO
@itscjonair, my take was that Allred was being really clever about his wording. He didn't say he was against trans athletes - he said he was against the kind of thing Cruz's ad was showing. That kind of careful wording is what you need to do in politics these days.
@MaryLTrump Maybe that's a way to actually break through the cult hold Donald has over them. So I don't see it as Schadenfreude; I see it as sanity starting a comeback.
@gtconway3d Somebody with the tech ability needs to do a deep fake of Biden saying what Trump said and then part way through the video have it swipe to the real video of Trump so that people can see that if the gibberish were coming out of anyone other than Trump, it would end their career.
