(PS4) Giuliani has a history of lying publicly to raise money for himself, stoke cultural grievances that help his client Donald Trump politically (e.g., spreading the narrative that pro-choice Americans are violent) and project criminality onto others to evade suspicion himself. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

(PS3) If you read the media reports on this, you know that the only reason this man was arrested was because Giuliani specifically insisted on it to make what he admitted was a *political statement*. I believe that in any other circumstance, this man would not have been arrested. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

(PS2) The simple fact is that Giuliani is an insurrectionist and suspended lawyer who’s sold out his country for money repeatedly, should be in federal prison, and is clearly lying about the severity of this incident to get public sympathy at the expense of another man’s freedom. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

(PS) The man absolutely should not have done that, and I do not condone what he did whatsoever. But Giuliani saying that if he weren’t in such good shape he would have been seriously injured is so close to a False Report to Law Enforcement it makes me *exceedingly* uncomfortable. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

Anyone who reads this feed knows how anti-violence I am. But watch the video below, read Giuliani saying the pat on his back felt like he’d been “shot” and if someone hadn’t held him up he’d have cracked his skull, then tell me that him calling the police wasn’t an overreaction. — PolitiTweet.org

PS/ Never forget that the leader of the Republican Party, who sets the tone for his party in every conceivable sense, absolutely adores Putin—and nothing about Putin murdering women and children has arrested his admiration because his party is a party of violence, hate and death. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

After insisting his ambition was to liberate eastern Ukraine, Putin—both a liar and a butcher—again lobbed missiles into Europe today, but this time at Kyiv, which allegedly is no longer part of his objective. He hit a kindergarten and an apartment block. https://t.co/pz5PVn0Ggs — PolitiTweet.org

@DamianMorrissey Keep in mind that I’m speaking of events that would happen over the next 20 years—not the next 2 years. If Trump returns to power in 2025, most likely the U.S. ceases to be a democracy and NATO collapses. Do I think Putin would move on the Baltics in the 2030s if he’s alive? Yes. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

@DamianMorrissey Of course not. But non-NATO nations have no protection, I do believe the Western alliance would falter if a Republican House forces a withdrawal from it, and John Bolton has already told us that Donald Trump would likely withdraw the United States from NATO if re-elected in 2024. — PolitiTweet.org

@Taylor_Spliff1 Can you imagine any scenario in which you’d read the phrase “right to life” off a piece of paper as “white life,” especially when the latter phrase is never used outside of KKK rallies and the former one is *directly relevant* to the situation you’re currently in? Neither can I. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

Everyone is entitled to a flub, but not *this* sort of flub when you’re publicly adulating and adoringly introducing a known racist who according to his ex-wife slept for years with a book of Hitler’s speeches next to his bed. Some “flubs” are actually semi-conscious revelations. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

She says “white life” from 17 seconds to 18 seconds in the video; Trump *nods* at 20 seconds—and never corrects her. What Miller “meant” to say hasn’t been explained—nor why the Trumpist crowd *cheered* at hearing the phrase “white life.” This is indeed the quiet part out loud. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @JoyceWhiteVance: White life. There it is. The quiet part out loud. Followed by applause. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

@JasonRuderman Yes, because Democrats control the House. If Republicans control the House beginning in January 2023, you will see an end to that bipartisanship. And if Trump controls the White House in January 2025, we will see active assistance for (and capitulation to) Putin and the Russians. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

PS/ To return to where the thread started: if Putin takes Moldova, Georgia, Kazakhstan and the Baltics, it’ll plunge the world into a conventional war AND a global depression. You think food and gas prices are high? Wait and see what happens if the GOP gives Putin much of Europe. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

The Democratic Party is going to hold onto normalcy until the very moment free and fair elections end—along with most of our civil rights and civil liberties. The Democrats’ obsession with keeping up appearances and playing nice with those who want to kill America is killing us. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

...not just because the first land war in Europe in 80 years is collapsing the world economy, but because the Republican Party has decided to let millions die in a pandemic purely for political gain and Donald Trump is leading an insurrection against our government *right now*. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

Congress should be expelling insurrectionists not just from their committees but from the body as a whole. A vote should be taken under the appropriate constitutional provision to bar Donald Trump from ever holding public office again. Biden should deem himself a wartime POTUS... — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

The FBI should be appearing before Congress monthly to issue a report on how it’s addressing the ongoing right-wing insurrection. And if there’s a single point of leverage not being used on Manchin or Sinema to end the filibuster, it is an abomination and profoundly unprincipled. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

Fox News should lose its access to government agencies, as it’s no longer a news outlet. Media companies that actually report news should no longer air any information from or about Trump. DOJ should investigate whether Truth Social is being used to instigate domestic terrorism. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

The Supreme Court must be expanded as a matter of equity after the theft of two seats via administrative insurrection and one seat via perjury. An impeachment investigation into Clarence Thomas should be initiated. DOJ should indict all coup plotters and their co-conspirators. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

As America lies dying on the operating table, what significant changes are you seeing in how media operates? None. What significant changes are you seeing in how government operates? None. We’re told to vote—and should—but not that those we’re voting for will change how they act. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

The first step in resolving a problem is acknowledging that there *is* a problem. America is broken. Not just our political, legal and media institutions but our cultural institutions too. There’s no reasonable doubt about who’s destroying America—just the shrieking of cultists. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

We keep not drawing lines we know we should draw. In 2016, media knew it was wrong to put a sociopath like Trump on the air, but they couldn’t give up the money. And Democrats knew there was no purpose in debating a madman, but they had to do things as they had always been done. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

...the Senate as we knew it ended. Democrats should’ve shut down all operations and cross-party comity on every issue until order was restored. There was no option that should not have been on the table for the Democrats, with the obvious exception of violence. They did nothing. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

When something is broken—like the Senate is broken and media is broken and political analysis is broken and the SCOTUS is broken and America is broken—you don’t stagger on doing all the same things you did before. You STOP what you’re doing and FIX IT. When Garland was blocked... — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

...should’ve realized when McConnell unilaterally decided, contra the Constitution, that a Democratic President of the United States lacked the authority to appoint Supreme Court Justices, that the federal government as we understood it was over and we couldn’t pretend otherwise. — PolitiTweet.org
