Yes, it’s hypocritical for @realDonaldTrump to have attacked @BarackObama for seeking some relief from the pressures of the presidency on the golf course when Trump has logged many more rounds. It’s also hypocritical to attack Trump for it now if you defended Obama then. — PolitiTweet.org

I don’t often defend this @POTUS but I don’t begrudge him a round of golf. Besides, it gives the rest of us a respite from those crazy tweets! — PolitiTweet.org

If you’re mission is to drive a further wedge in our politics and create maximum chaos, set your algorithms accordingly and unleash an massive Internet virus. “Russia, if you’re listening...” — PolitiTweet.org

Jerry Sloan, a farm boy from McLeansboro, IL, was as hard-nosed a player & coach as the @NBA has seen. All-time great for the @ChicagoBulls, his uniform still hangs from the rafters. Hall of Fame coach of the @utahjazz. Solid as an old oak tree. RIP. https://t.co/8NNIOVcUSk — PolitiTweet.org

I once witnessed a press scrum w/Sloan after his Jazz had lost to the Bulls. Reporters asked if his team was tired, having played 4 games in 5 nights. He was incredulous. “Tired? These guys work 2 hours a night! There’s folks out there in the stands who work 12-hour days!” — PolitiTweet.org

As a top econ aide to ⁦@BillClinton⁩, @genebsperling helped write a landmark deficit reduction law. But on #AxeFiles, Sperling argues that throttling down emergency spending now would be a devastating mistake. Full pod: @CNN.com/AxeFiles https://t.co/jp7n06x5Uh — PolitiTweet.org

You ever notice that when @realDonaldTrump is reading a speech, he often stops and considers the words that have been written for him and comments on them? “So true.” — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

@matthewjdowd Yes, @matthewjdowd. But the federal government has a central role and when the @POTUS declared that the virus will miraculously “disappear” and was “under control”; when they dropped the ball on testing; when he delayed social distancing guidance to states, he made this worse. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @matthewjdowd: @davidaxelrod Shouldn’t this be an indictment as well of local leaders in places where there are thousands of deaths? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

This is a stunning indictment. The denials of science and delay in acting were catastrophic. (And had nothing to do w/China!) The question is whether the same reckless disregard will be repeated now, as the country reopens? https://t.co/zNKp8lZYmA — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

With Michigan battling COVID-19 AND devastating floods, what spectacularly awful timing for @realDonaldTrump to be threatening the state w/loss of $$ simply for sending every voter an application for an absentee ballot. I’m sure this will be well-received when he visits today! — PolitiTweet.org

.@genebsperling was the top econ adviser to @BillClinton AND @BarackObama. (In between, he helped craft the WH of his dreams as a writer on The West Wing.) His timely new book, Economic Dignity, offers an RX for a worker-friendly economy. New #AxeFiles! https://t.co/oZMsoGhyTk. https://t.co/MCKDi2OedF — PolitiTweet.org

The is something incredibly cynical about making blatantly fraudulent fraud charges for the very purpose of gaming the election by holding down voter participation. https://t.co/kLFXsYs6e3 — PolitiTweet.org

Beyond questions of misuse or staff for personal chores and “Pompeo and Circumstance” political dinners at taxpayer’s expense, is the IG’s inquiry into how this whole sale of arms to the Saudis came about. https://t.co/hNlbOCIU6h — PolitiTweet.org
