@leo - very good show - this is TWIT at your best - everybody clicking and joking around.

We used to only hear this “slavery benefitted black people” racist horseshit from the farthest of the far right.

Now it’s mainstream Republican politics.

To all the dismissive, smoothbrain, libertarian incels who chime in on my posts, mitigating Trump’s sexually violent crimes—let me make this abundantly clear:

Trump is a rapist.

The Republican party’s presidential frontrunner, Donald Trump, is openly running a campaign based on turning America into an autocracy. Joy Reid's panel of experts discuss this move many consider to be unprecedented.

@FinalOverdrive - I don't think it's fair to redefine "straight" as "someone who hates queer people." Except for a tiny religious minority, even people who are not actively conscious of the socio-political issues surrounding non-straight identities, most people know somebody they care about who is not straight. It's unfair to conflate straight with bigot.
@FinalOverdrive - OK if that's how you feel, I will unfollow you so I don't pollute you with my straight cooties.

The mainstream press is finally catching on to what some of us put together last week: Donald #Trump appears to have inspired an assassination attempt on Barack #Obama

Trump posted what he said was Obama's address, prosecutors say. An armed man was soon arrested there

Federal prosecutors say former President Donald Trump posted on his social media platform what he claimed was the home address of former President Barack Obama the same day a man with guns in his van was arrested near the property. They said Taylor Taranto kept two firearms and hundreds of rounds of ammunition inside a van he had driven cross-country. Prosecutors included the new details of the case in a motion filed Wednesday aiming to keep Taranto behind bars. They said Taranto told followers on his YouTube live stream that he was looking to get a “good angle on a shot” and locate the “tunnels underneath their houses” shortly before he was arrested by the Secret Service.
