Friendship isn’t a transaction and it most certainly isn’t hitting the like button on Twitter to show support for a fellow human beings suicidal ideations. Truly, this is one of the most depressing and saddest stories I have ever read. (15) — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

The sickest and saddest aspect of all this is how the author revealed the shallowness of our empty times by brilliantly illustrating how Internet Culture has incinerated the concept of meaningful friendship. 14 — PolitiTweet.org

the connection to @jimsciutto question then god help us. Lastly, @yashar has used his @Twitter platform to articulate suicidal ideations. This is dangerous for Ali, who desperately needs help and it is dangerous for others in crisis who might be triggered to act because of Ali.13 — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

The other journalist is @jimsciutto who asked a provocative question around whether the United States, today, could lead an enterprise as vast, consuming, costly, ambitious, complicated and daring as DDAY. The answer is an emphatic no. If you read the @LAmag and don’t understand — PolitiTweet.org

I’d like to mention two great journalists. @jaketapper has proven himself a paragon of journalistic integrity. In my view he embodies a style of newsman that most directly connects this era to the legacy of American giants like Murrow, Sevareid and the other fearless, straight 10 — PolitiTweet.org

“Georgetown”isn’t just an entertaining piece of story telling, it is a mirror which illuminates the profound stupidity, naïveté, corruption and self dealing of the ruling class that is held in contempt by tens of millions of Americans. (9) — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

There is a great new movie out called Georgetown. It is about an imposter and conman who seduces the Washington elite. Ullrich Mott is the fictionalized character brought to life from @FranklinFoer original true story. It is every bit as bizarre a story as the @LAmag Ali profile — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

I hope this will be a topic of discussion in every newsroom in America. @nyt @washingtonpost @WSJ @MSNBC @abc @CBSNews @cnn @HuffPost @NewYorkMag . Real journalists and good journalists should be appalled by this. (7) — PolitiTweet.org

“ fellow journalists” twitter mob, we don’t have a free press . How many people are afraid to react to the insanity of this story out of fear? Democracy can’t survive without a free press and we have a real crisis of belief around the integrity of the media in this country. (6) — PolitiTweet.org

is disturbing. @Liz_Cheney said that Members of Congress are intimidated by Trump’s mob and yes votes are turning to no because of the threat of violence. When this is so we don’t live in a free country anymore. When Journalists like @jkbjournalistare feel threatened by a (5) — PolitiTweet.org

Please meditate about the tweet above from award winning Investigative journalist @jkbjournalist who broke the Epstein story. She works for the @MiamiHerald. She is legitimately worried about being destroyed by this Twitter bully for offering the comment that this profile (4) — PolitiTweet.org

This CATFISH has been given a license to kill by America’s journalistic elite. It’s ok to annihilate careers and reputations in stories with 34 anonymous sources? That’s journalism ? What about his conflicts, finances and methods? It’s chilling,obscene and utterly disgraceful (3 — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

It is among the most depressing cultural stories I have ever read. If you want to understand how Trump got elected President, read this story. This isn’t the profile of a journalist, it is the portrait of an internet bully and character assassin. (2) — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

This is an astonishing story that every person in America who calls themselves a journalist should read . The @LAmag story written by Peter Kiefer is a journalistic masterpiece that illuminates both the profound crisis in American journalism and a sickness in our society. (1) — PolitiTweet.org

There is a letter that was written by Antoine Saint de Exupery, author of the Little Prince, traveling across the Atlantic in 1943 in an American convoy. It speaks to our national character in that moment. We are not them. https://t.co/8UtEzd5Cxh — PolitiTweet.org

@cinderellaicius I think this is hard to process. There are no moderates and there are no divisions in the party. The choice will be a less electable gop candidate or a more electable one. We are for the less electable one — PolitiTweet.org

Against voting rights on the basis of a premeditated lie that has been nourished by conspiracy theories in the name of Trump: The failure to recognize the nature of this fight and the absolute urgency of the moment might be the reason we lose American democracy for our kids. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

Democratic leaders are making it easy by living in a delusional world where cooperation and bipartisanship are always just around the corner. There is an urgent national necessity to account for the attack on America by a Commission and to respond to the full frontal assault 16 — PolitiTweet.org

It must not. It defines our present and will write our future if we do not treat the growing Metastic cancer in our democracy before it is too late. The GQP wants to run a campaign about critical race theory, cancel culture and a noxious stew of grievance, resentment and fear.15 — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

Who seek to destroy you. Always, always always this is the message. The Fox hate and lie machine is running at full blast. It’s why they won’t run the @MeidasTouch ad that offers Police testimony about the 1/6 attack. They will do anything to make the memory of that day fade. 14 — PolitiTweet.org

Effectively stoked fear of an imaginary left that is directed by unseen and nefarious forces, usually Jews, but in this case it includes black, brown and Asian Americans. The story is always the same. It is the message of the gangster. I’m here to protect you from those people 13 — PolitiTweet.org

The GOP is shrinking. It is getting smaller. It is important to understand basic political physics in order to understand the result of the “shrinkage” ht @IJasonAlexander. When political parties shrink they become more extreme. Extreme movements impose purity tests and those 8) — PolitiTweet.org
