A footnote: Cuban’s story is quite different than Trump’s. The son of an automobile upholsterer, Cuban started off with nothing and built his fortune from scratch as an early innovator in the computer and internet industries. It’s actually quite a story. Good listen! — PolitiTweet.org

In a new #AxeFiles, a billionaire reality TV star expounds on many subjects, including his own musing about running for POTUS. My convo w/@mcuban, owner of the @dallasmavs, who had a few things to say about that OTHER billionaire reality TV star/POTUS! 👉https://t.co/PEAX6ajt5j https://t.co/NbMWLyjvXL — PolitiTweet.org

It is hard to be a “law and order president” when you flout laws and disorder perpetually reigns around you. — PolitiTweet.org

Statues taken down across the country that lionize symbols of racism are a small but meaningful step along the road to justice and reconciliation. https://t.co/osWEuNdfHi — PolitiTweet.org

This is the “Oh, yeah, well so’s your old man” presidency. But only a child mistakes name-calling for strength. (Ok, not ONLY!) — PolitiTweet.org

So far today, @realDonaldTrump has compared himself to Lincoln. His press Secretary has compared him to Churchill. And there are still several hours left in the day! — PolitiTweet.org

Many asked if Mattis, who resigned in 2018, would break his silence on Trump. Ordering the military to “dominate” the streets of America proved too much for a man who reveres the military and Constitution to which he devoted most of his life. His statement is blunt and powerful. — PolitiTweet.org

General James Mattis, former Defense Secretary under @POTUS, has held his thoughts on his former boss. Until today. “Donald Trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people—does not even pretend to try. Instead he tries to divide us. — PolitiTweet.org

Not at all to detract from the gravity of the this moment, but I have to say the signer at the MN AG’a press conference on the Floyd case is the most passionate and demonstrative I have ever seen! — PolitiTweet.org

I wonder what Mr. Lincoln would think about military police stationed in force on the steps of his memorial as Americans marched below against systemic racism? https://t.co/lCAehJzFZ0 — PolitiTweet.org

Ir should be noted that King became too hot to handle for the House @GOP and even for a WH that has very broad parameters when it comes to playing white identity politics. — PolitiTweet.org

As Americans across the country protest the scourge of racism, it seems more than appropriate that Iowa voters, at long last, have shown @SteveKingIA the door. https://t.co/xODhV4NCwE — PolitiTweet.org

The Attorney General of the United States ordered authorities to move on peaceful protesters in order to clear a park so that the president could stage a bizarre photo op at the church across the street. Think about that. https://t.co/9V0BPcupCZ — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

After a devastating week, @HacksOnTap is back! We’re joined by former WH press secretary @Robt_Gibbs to talk about the impact of the George Floyd murder, the protests and violence, the @POTUS’s biblical photo op and @JoeBiden’s big speech today. https://t.co/0yJ1TDLaQG — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

This thoughtful statement from former President Bush deserves your attention. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Which is more likely? @realDonaldTrump hopes by brandishing the military, clearing out protesters from Lafayette Park and hoisting the Bible, he would calm an anxious nation. Or: @realDonaldTrump sees a chance to ignite a backlash and, with it, his re-election chances. — PolitiTweet.org

More wisdom from Bryan Stevenson, founder or the Equal Justice Initiative, ⁦@eji_org⁩; author or Just Mercy; from a classic #AxeFiles that has particular relevance and meaning in this moment.

We are now months into the pandemic and passage of the first relief act YET a third of those who qualify and NEED unemployment benefits haven’t received them. Don’t TELL us what a great job you’re doing, Mr. POTUS. Actually DO it. https://t.co/j68ZtBUq1g — PolitiTweet.org

.@JoeBiden just gave a very powerful speech in Philly. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Incredible. Tear gas & rubber bullets, horses & batons to break up a peaceful crowd across from the WH apparently to clear them out all so the @POTUS could stage a photo op, holding up a bible. at St. John’s Episcopal Church. He did not go inside to pray for forgiveness. — PolitiTweet.org

There is absolutely no doubt that what the @POTUS just said, and the images of the military police in moving on a peaceful crowd, will further inflame an already dangerous situation. — PolitiTweet.org

You have to wonder if this isn’t exactly the split screen @realDonaldTrump wanted when police were ordered to advance on a peaceful crowd just before he spoke. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

What seems clear on TV is that a peaceful protest was underway in Lafayette Park across from the White House. And, inexplicably, the police moved on the crowd, with tear gas and batons. — PolitiTweet.org
