"Mr. Kelly, who served for more than 40 years in the Marines, has told associates that a retired four-star general should not come out against a sitting president in the heat of a political campaign." Urgent Memo to Gen. Kelly: These aren't ordinary times or a routine election. — PolitiTweet.org

All I can think of are Bill Mauldin's great cartoons of Willie and Joe for Stars and Stripes during World War II: https://t.co/lVR5v7kdAU — PolitiTweet.org

Agree that a lot that arouses Twitter doesn't penetrate with typical voters. But the "losers" lounge story only broke very late yesterday afternoon in the Midwest, so I doubt if many had heard about it. I could be wrong, but my hunch is this story may be a rare exception. — PolitiTweet.org
Charlotte Alter @CharlotteAlter
It's also worth noting that, in the case the "losers" comment specifically, it's very possible that people just hav… https://t.co/s9zcGmBR0k

@ClydeHaberman @newrepublic Somehow the old Hollywood line popped up in my head, "I knew Doris Day before she was a virgin." — PolitiTweet.org

@ClydeHaberman @newrepublic But the 1960s are relevant example since baby-boomer kids growing up in the 1950s were so sheltered by a society that didn't want to talk much about the privation of the Depression and World War II. — PolitiTweet.org

Me in @newrepublic: "Anyone who didn’t live through the 1960s will find it hard to grasp the disorienting destruction of American postwar innocence. That's why I become enraged every time I read glib commentary suggesting that 2020 is 1968 revisited." https://t.co/d73h5n0E7m — PolitiTweet.org

@warnaarsgirl We are 99 percent in agreement on this. If I were writing about the military at large, I would have written “men and women.” But in this case, I think it is a tiny universe of sources made up of people like Kelly and Mattis. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@grapesofass @OsitaNwanevu If so, I regret the tweet. — PolitiTweet.org

@warnaarsgirl I think in this case, they are overwhelmingly male. Hence my choice of pronoun. — PolitiTweet.org

One of the questions I have been wrestling with all night is how do you convince military men used to whispering off-the-record for years about the necessity for going completely public now. — PolitiTweet.org

Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@OsitaNwanevu Totally agree. There is something so shocking about this that it transcends normal Trump outrages. And based on the confirmations by the AP and the Washington Post, people who know are more emboldened than usual to talk. Though I wish somebody would go on the record. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @JRubinBlogger: Mr. Kelly, Mr. Mattis, enough. Show an ounce of courage that our wounded men and women displayed and speak on the record. — PolitiTweet.org

Warning to the young invincibles: Yoan Moncada, star third baseman of the White Sox, admits that he "hasn't felt the same" since getting COVID-19 in July. It is not just the elderly who are devastated by this disease: https://t.co/9BkIDWizhO — PolitiTweet.org

With less than nine weeks to the election, this is the moment for everyone with a firsthand story of Trump's unfitness to be president to come forward on the record. November 4th is too late for truthful candor. Great reporting cannot transcend the timidity of insiders. — PolitiTweet.org

@Ed_Realist Afraid we are doomed to disagree once again. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@Ed_Realist In 40 years in journalism, I have learned why sources do not have the courage to speak on the record. But I have also learned to respect serious journalists with good track records who have multiple unnamed sources for their stories. Also, lying takes all of 90 minutes to write. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@Ed_Realist Your trust in Donald J. Trump is truly inspiring. I wish I had your faith in any president in US history. — PolitiTweet.org

@rclong1997 AP is very conservative on these things. I believe them. — PolitiTweet.org

I had a grandfather who volunteered for Walter Reed’s yellow fever experiments in the Spanish-American War. Had I been as knowledgeable as Trump I would have called him “sucker.” This is most horrifying Trump story ever. And that’s a high bar. — PolitiTweet.org

@ClydeHaberman I grew up in suburban Connecticut but I was in Manhattan for a doctor's appointment and was on a bus when the city had a nuclear war drill in the early 1960s. And I remember being told to get off the bus and to shelter under a cloth awning, which is all the protection you need. — PolitiTweet.org

@MartyDavis Norwalk, Connecticut. Though after my nuclear-war fears, I did go to the University of Michigan where I developed more realistic Vietnam fears. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@MartyDavis I'm roughly your age -- and my childhood was filled with depressing dread of nuclear war. Not only the duck-and-cover drills but books (and movies) like "On the Beach." — PolitiTweet.org
