Apt reading for the afternoon, courtesy of Chaucer: "The Pardoner's Tale." I am sure that Michael Flynn makes an appearance somewhere in the narrative. https://t.co/NT6HV0Zenw — PolitiTweet.org

The words “That’s not how quotation works” have been attributed to the Bible. It’s not in any Bible I have checked. But I am sure it is in there somewhere because it’s so true. — PolitiTweet.org

@mattizcoop Under this theory, it is better to have an administration staffed by people who took no public positions prior to the elections of The Squad. — PolitiTweet.org

Such an important point. Simpson-Bowles (even if its recommendations don't stand up nearly a decade later) was a commission blessed by a Democratic president. I've known Bruce Reed since the Clinton years -- and I can think of few people better suited for a return to government. — PolitiTweet.org

My latest in @newrepublic: "What is striking about Biden’s band...is how experienced and non-controversial they are. Almost all of them have worked closely with Biden over the years. Even more unusual, none of them carry reputations as prima donnas." https://t.co/pKfKYbAcVH — PolitiTweet.org

My @newrepublic piece: "Yellen and Kerry could have easily spent the twilight of their careers giving speeches and gracing global conferences. Instead, both of them have signed on for the 16-hours-a-day rigors of government service at a time of crisis." https://t.co/pKfKYbAcVH — PolitiTweet.org

The folly of writing pieces on Biden's Cabinet picks weeks in advance. Did anyone pick Mayorkas for Homeland Security, Thomas-Greenfield for the UN and Haines for DNI? Moral: Top appointees in normal times are not just famous political figures. https://t.co/9KCElG45yq — PolitiTweet.org

Their cluelessness is impressive. It is almost a business school case study about what not to do. I wonder how much @SherwinWilliams will now pay its crisis pr firm. Somehow I would guess that it will be more than the creative college student and part-time employee was making. — PolitiTweet.org

My favorite blind quote of the day. Related, of course, to the tragic sacking of Sidney Powell: "Trump believed she was causing more harm than help, a campaign official said: 'She was too crazy even for the president.'” https://t.co/UpkjKS1o84 — PolitiTweet.org

I will never forget where I was when I learned the awful news about Sidney Powell's legal employment status. But I wonder if this makes Trump and Giuliani part of the vast Hugo Chavez conspiracy. If Brian Kemp could be suborned by Chavez's people, why not Giuliani or even Trump? — PolitiTweet.org

@jonathanalter It's a hard question about Christie. One should find a way of encouraging prominent Republicans to see the light and acknowledge it however belatedly. Since COVID, Christie has been on the right side of issues from masks to election returns. That should give him some credit. — PolitiTweet.org

From JFK's undelivered Dallas speech: "Voices are heard in the land...preaching doctrines wholly unrelated to reality... doctrines which apparently assume that words will suffice without weapons, that vituperation is as good as victory and that peace is a sign of weakness." — PolitiTweet.org
