3 Threaded Spouts
“I try to imagine how our body politic can begin to repair itself when the leaders of one of its two major parties have abandoned factual reality and remain wedded to spreading poisonous lies.

“He uses violence, not imagination. Conflict, not collaboration. Cruelty, never kindness. Retribution, not affirmation. These are the tools of a weak man inciting the mob to satisfy his hunger for carnage.“

Donald Trump lives in private clubs.
Donald Trump assembled a private militia to attack the Capitol.
Now he gets his own private system of justice — available to him alone.
NO ONE ELSE would get the special treatment he gets.
NO ONE should.
06:59 PM - Mar 25, 2024
The NY appeals court dropping the Trump bond to $175M? One system of justice for him, another for everyone else. Beyond appalling.
11:41 AM - Mar 25, 2024
If only the story were only about Ronna McDaniel. So many other Trump enablers that must be held accountable, not sanitized and funded.
08:33 PM - Mar 24, 2024
I wonder why we don’t hear much these days that Donald Trump is a successful businessman and multi-billionaire.

Nikki Haley: Be a Liz Cheney, not a Mitch McConnell. Make your campaign mean something.
07:15 PM - Mar 06, 2024
The most important contribution Nikki Haley can make to her country is in front of her—to not just roll over & endorse the malignant danger, but to continue to critique him, to raise the alarm with that sliver of Republicans who’ll listen. Anything else is a mockery of her duty.

Please, don’t rely on polls 8 months before the election as if they will tell the outcome. It’s a waste of emotional energy. Focus on what you can do to increase turnout.

“It was stunning to watch the WH press corps go on the attack with Joe Biden about his memory—this after letting Trump get away with for four years (and more) degrading the public’s ability to know what’s true & what’s false.” https://america.substack.c...

Taylor Swift seriously helping to bring down Trump and cause the GOP to implode was not on my bingo card. But I’ll take it.
10:54 PM - Jan 30, 2024
After being ordered to pay $83.3M in damages for his defamation of E. Jean Carroll, Trump posted the jury’s decision was “absolutely ridiculous” and concluded “THIS IS NOT AMERICA!” In fact, this is justice in America—a reality the entitled and contemptuous Trump has rarely if ever experienced.
06:51 PM - Jan 26, 2024
How was Joe Biden’s week? The New Hampshire primary, a major union endorsement, record Obamacare enrollment and strong economic reports give the president reason for optimism.

The Ron DeSantis run for president? What a waste of time and money. He never could bring himself to attack the malignant one. What a disservice to the country.
06:51 PM - Jan 21, 2024
I’ll never get over the Republicans’ spinelessness these last seven years—and their shameful disservice to America.

“Let’s not lose sight: Those of us in the majority have the ability to overcome the dark desires of the MAGA minority, sustain democracy and enable an empathic leader to continue pursuing a positive future.” https://america.substack.c...

Are most journalists really going to keep treating Donald Trump as a presidential candidate rather than a criminal defendant with 91 felony charges bent on gaining immunity and pursuing retribution if he does?
03:22 PM - Jan 06, 2024
Don’t forget it’s a minority—albeit a tyrannizing, anti-democratic one—that’s trying to shape our future. The democratic American majority still has the power to define the outcome of this year and the coming years.
12:39 PM - Jan 03, 2024
We shouldn’t apply the law to Donald Trump as articulated in the 14th amendment of the US Constitution because it might upset his cult and help him politically? Really?
03:37 AM - Dec 31, 2023
“Even as we must aggressively confront the worst among us who are drawn to cruelty and dictatorship, we can and must continue to appeal to our better angels. In the year ahead, I hope voters will back more caring leaders capable of kindness, compassion and empathy.”

Dear Santa,
All I want for Xmas is the guilty to be held accountable for his crimes and not get off the hook for some false idea of presidential immunity or trials delayed until after the election when he will lie it was rigged when he loses.
Signed,
A concerned American

I think Democrats soon must decide whether they are going to keep criticizing Biden and fellow Democrats or turn fully to the necessary work to defeat Trump and his MAGA cult.

Donald Trump has turned the GOP into the anti-science, anti-education, anti-facts, anti-democracy, pro-violence, pro-authoritarian party of crime. Decent thinking people who used to be Republicans know better than to stick around and pretend it’s not.
12:11 AM - Dec 15, 2023
"What if all these knowing critics agreed to pursue a sustained effort to warn the country?...What if they let America know they will not be intimidated by Trump, his violent rhetoric or anonymous threats from his ugliest followers? What if they recognized this must be their duty to their country?"

I’m all for Hunter Biden being held accountable if he broke the law, but how long will we wait before former government employee Jarad Kushner is criminally investigated for exploiting his position for personal gain in the billions?
04:07 PM - Dec 08, 2023
In this time when democracy’s survival is in danger: “We need journalists to actually think critically about the ways in which they're approaching stories. Is the old way of doing it actually the way to do it going forward?”

Steven Beschloss @StevenBeschlossI know most Americans want a better, more hopeful outcome for our country. But we have to recognize this grim push toward dictatorship is real…and the time is shortening to ensure it doesn’t happen.
