If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”
Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

„Quiet, Piggy!“ Just think about that for a minute, and what it means to live in a time when a President can assault a woman in public like that without any consequences.
It‘s quite a testimony to the age of regression we live in.

I think it should be a mandatory job requirement that the chair of the DNC be social media savvy with a strong presence on camera.
Ken Martin doesn’t have those skills and doesn’t seem to want to invest in fixing that.

I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution.
Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

Now is the time to really fuck them. Boycott Target and others on the Trump train this holiday season. Make it a Red Friday, to match their MAGA hats.
Target said it doesn’t think holiday sales will be enough to turn around a tough year.
