A great first day for my friend @matthewjdowd. @DanPatrick is at the forefront of political extremism in this country. He is a significant abettor and author of the insanity that has been unleashed that divides and threatens us. He has embraced nihilism as his animating ideology — PolitiTweet.org

It is evolving. Look at all three examples of cruelty in that example. What do those cruel acts turn into? What happens to those people? They get worse and if there is enough of them and they take power, history has proven anything is possible. — PolitiTweet.org

flood of disturbing moments and events that are much more than the sum of their parts. Whether, the conception of what is happening feels more like an unraveling or a spreading cancer, is in the eye of the beholder. What should be clear to everyone is that this moment is dynamic. — PolitiTweet.org

in a democracy. They become deadly in a dictatorship. As Buffalo Springfield once sang “ There’s something happening here, but what it is ain’t exactly clear”. What is happening around us is not a series of disconnected events and moments. Rather, we are bearing witness to a vast — PolitiTweet.org

Changed his perspective on everything but nothing more deeply than his belief in democracy as the only way to protect humanity from the Eichmanns among us. He said there are Eichmann’s all around us. He called them latent Eichmann’s and made the point that they are harmless — PolitiTweet.org

whether it be on the basis of religion, culture, race, belief ect…an hour of great tragedy always looms near. The man who interrogated Adolph Eichmann, Captain Avner Less did an interview about the experience in 1983, more than 20 years after the fact. He said the experience — PolitiTweet.org

people. Each act is a rejection of the divinity and grace of human beings at an individual level but also at a cultural and tribal level. This is the place where sparks have caused great conflagrations in our shared history. When individuals and entire groups are dehumanized — PolitiTweet.org

.@johnpavlovitz wrote this piece in early September and it is profound. I encourage everyone to read it. Here are some additional thoughts around the subject. What all three acts of unmistakeable cruelty share is a foundation of antipathy built on the dehumanization of other — PolitiTweet.org

This Cruelty is the Trump Effect on America. @johnpavlovitz⁩ is someone I follow and would highly recommend. Read this. It is an essential piece. https://t.co/G2W3aADfsb — PolitiTweet.org

faux niceties on a baseball diamond. This moment demands moral clarity. The preservation of the American system and the liberty that animates our highest ideals demands it. We are in uncertain hours and dangerous times. — PolitiTweet.org

to confront the rise of extremism and the rise of dangerous, right wing paramilitary groups? No matter the direction one looks, all around us the signs are clear. We are in a crisis that will grow worse with each day. It’s the type of crisis that doesn’t get settled with — PolitiTweet.org

to prevent lawful authority from presiding in the hands of wing nut political cronies asserting control over the executive branch as Acting Secretaries? What action has been taken to protect voting rights from a full out assault with maliced intent? What actions have been taken — PolitiTweet.org

Soon it will be one year since @potus was elected. Since taking power what has the Democratic majority done to harden the firewalls of our democracy? What action has been taken around cleaning up the lawlessness and ethics abuses of the Trump years? What action has been taken — PolitiTweet.org

Yet, the Congressional Baseball game goes on? What is the purpose of comity with people who seek to topple the Republic with lies, conspiracies and violence. Churchill said in another time “ the malice of the wicked was aided by the weakness of the virtuous.” — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

The GOP is playing by a completely separate rule book. Mainly, they burned it and before this all ends, they will likely burn more books. Neo-Nazi replacement theory has been mainstreamed by Tucker Carlson and Fox News and has been embraced by House Leaders like @EliseStefanik — PolitiTweet.org

What is the greatest difference between the Democratic Party and the Trump/GQP ? What matters most? I believe it is this. Democratic candidates will abide election results and GOP candidates will not. GOP candidates will seek to seize power from defeat by any means necessary. — PolitiTweet.org

1. Texas has an opportunity to elect a good and decent man, my friend @matthewjdowd. Please support him. 2. We need better elected officials if we are going to fix America . Dan Patrick is beyond awful. 3.Dowd would be great. 4. I’m sending a check today. Let’s win. — PolitiTweet.org

Below is the difference between a Million, a Billion and a Trillion. It is helpful to understand when thinking about the 7 trillion of debt Trump and the GOP ran up on the National credit card that the entire GOP Senate just voted to default on. 1 million seconds is 11 days from — PolitiTweet.org

American weakness and decline. It is a vote fit for a Banana Republic which the GQP blend of lunacy, extremism, cynicism, malice and absurdity is producing. It is a vote forged in hypocrisy and an affirmation of the decay they pursue without remorse in the name of self interest. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

The GQP vote to default is an act of vandalism against the American people. The irresponsibility and nihilism evidenced by it demonstrate a cruel and casual disregard for the security, prosperity and happiness of current and future generations of Americans. It is a vote for — PolitiTweet.org

Here is a Churchill quote that despairs of the politics that wrought catastrophe unequalled in human history. It is an indictment that could be levied towards the similar blindness of our political leadership at this present crisis. What will the price be tomorrow? https://t.co/J86jnh03jL — PolitiTweet.org

.@Mike_Pence disgraced the United States during his recent trip to Orban’s Fascist Hungary. He shook hands with a US sanctioned denier of the Genocide in Srebrenica. He did not condemn Orban’s antisemitism. This is a former VP of the US pulling a full Edward VIII. Disgusting. — PolitiTweet.org
