@jhudorafeingold Yeah, but what’s it say about the millions of Americans who actually voted for this moron?

@Dbregernyc I share your fantasy but want him prosecuted too. Apart from the politically disgraceful impeachment escapes he has never faced an actual criminal indictment and it’s time he did. And soon!

@osiris687 thank you!

@Nonya_Bidniss Not sure where the Second Amendment covers keeping and using a weapon “for fun”, nor even “sport shooting”. There really is NO justification for the civil ownership of a firearm in an urban situation and no justification for a semiautomatic weapon anywhere at all.

@emptywheel To save wasting court time I’ve sent him one of my Celine Dion pictures. All Canadians have boxes of them …

@jayrosen_nyu of course. Much more interesting discussion than your average angry “You’re an asshole” debate on Twitter though. Cheers.

@jayrosen_nyu I think it may depend on the definition of journalism . If it is simply the gathering and dispersal of news and information then “citizen journalism” was that for a short while only, but subsequently morphed into virulent opinion. Surely it’s intended to be more than the acerbic monologues Twitter generates? It is all opinion and very little journalism, citizen or otherwise.

@jayrosen_nyu The problem with your original definition is that in far too many instances citizen journalism has become the tool of MISinformation. It is precisely that that drove the MAGA movement in the face of American journalism which, at the beginning of Trump’s interregnum, was too well mannered to call a lie a lie. If the professional media had not
sat on its hands and simpered when he pilloried them, we might not be where we are now.
