The crime charged in the search warrant included either retaining or, even worse, TRANSMITTING, defense-related materials. So Trump thinks the fact that some folders found in his resort and marked CLASSIFIED had MISSING CONTENTS makes his “defense” stronger? He can’t be that dumb — PolitiTweet.org

In saying “Americans will resort to violence because of a harsher standard for Trump compared to the treatment of Hillary Clinton,” Graham compounded his IMPLICIT THREAT with an EXPLICIT LIE designed to JUSTIFY the violence he predicted if Trump is charged https://t.co/BjngS4roAE — PolitiTweet.org

I’m not sure how accurate this is but it’s how things looked to me when CNN fired @JohnJHarwood and canceled @ReliableSources. I retweet it to encourage @CNN to reply if they think these inferences are unfair. As of now, I’m reluctant to accept any more @CNN interview invitations — PolitiTweet.org

“The GOP is salivating over the prospect of taking control of the House, not because of their power to legislate but because of their power to harass President Biden though endless congressional investigations.” Deny sadists that pleasure: Vote Democratic https://t.co/uLFg40Zjwc — PolitiTweet.org

Unless Cannon “wants to rewrite decades of law, let Trump hold the nation hostage and deepen our national security crisis, she should follow Barr’s advice, dismiss Trump’s claim and let the FBI get on with an investigation and any necessary prosecutions.” https://t.co/m3uXoXJQnX — PolitiTweet.org

The great activist writer and thinker, Barbara Ehrenreich, “was never much for thoughts and prayers, but you can honor her memory by loving one another, and by fighting like hell,” as her son Ben aptly put it.  Let’s all do that. https://t.co/oZcaT2JvB2 — PolitiTweet.org

Is it truly “time to consider a radical solution to stave off the prospect of political violence and even civil war in the US.”? This chillingly rational look at the crossroads we may reach in 2024 is essential reading for everyone. Please do read it. https://t.co/WNV751izfG — PolitiTweet.org

“Many Americans—conservative as well as liberal—would see defederalization as tantamount to an admission that the US can no longer boast of an enlightened and ideologically cohesive citizenry, and is no longer a large and powerful unitary democracy.” https://t.co/WNV751izfG — PolitiTweet.org

“According to a 2014 survey of experts, there’s a 50 percent chance ‘human-level machine intelligence’ is reached by 2050, and a 90 percent chance by 2075.” AI is bound to outsmart us by 2082 and could well destroy us all by 2092. Oops! https://t.co/wspaQ0VaRQ — PolitiTweet.org

“A crock of shit” is what Barr rightly called the “special master” proposal being mulled by Judge Collins. Those were his words to the New York Times. Good for him! Calling it like it is at long last is good for the soul. If only some MAGA types would try it! They might like it. — PolitiTweet.org

“The insurrectionists of Jan. 6 busted into the Capitol, hit police with fire extinguishers, flagpoles, bats, stun guns and pepper spray; threatened to kill the vice president and tried to overthrow the 2020 election. And now, they want an apology.” https://t.co/5fjyuSxGIa — PolitiTweet.org

I think @JohnJHarwood was the best of the CNN journalists. Pushing him out, as Chris Licht, CNN’s new CEO has done, shows that CNN is on a scary new path. We don’t need a #FoxNews light. One dishonest cable network is more than enough. — PolitiTweet.org

“For Trumpists, no system that results in a Republican loss can be considered legitimate.”  That’s the very opposite of the core premise of government of and by the people.  https://t.co/dd7anWp9U1 — PolitiTweet.org

“More than half the GOP winners so far — about 250 candidates in 469 contests — have embraced Trump’s false claims about his defeat two years ago.” That’s genuinely horrifying. https://t.co/QA4T1MAES0 — PolitiTweet.org

“Stunning” is a vast understatement. There’s no way Trump would’ve bothered taking 43 EMPTY folders to Mar-a-Lago! So a trove of military-related secrets is STILL OUT THERE, HEAVEN KNOWS WHERE! Trump’s criminal espionage is an ONGOING FEDERAL CRIME. — PolitiTweet.org
