@EricKleefeld It's what's known as "the Trump thank-you" -- sort of like the Bronx cheer. He gives it out freely to those who have sold their souls to the Devil to help him out.

Mitch McConnell made it possible for Trump to run again, by shamefully not leading Senate Republicans to convict him in the Jan. 6 impeachment. This is the thanks he gets.

@AP How did the stenographer hear that there was no apostrophe? People sometimes say "Quote . . . Unquote," but I've never heard anyone say "apostrophe" or "no apostrophe."

BREAKING: The White House altered the transcript of President Joe Biden's "garbage" remarks despite stenographer concerns, AP sources say. apnews.com/article/biden-…

@BGrueskin @davidfolkenflik This is a tragedy for a newspaper that depends much more on subscriptions than it did generations ago. There must be a better way to convince or punish Bezos without diminishing the capabilities of the Post. Meanwhile, focus on defeating the autocrat whom he so pitifully fears.

@NicolleDWallace Can you post (or where can I find) that short clip showing J.D. Vance's attack on supposed Democratic rhetoric and Trump using the exact language cited by Vance?

They aren't illegal, they didn't "descend" upon a town, and they're not destroying anyone's way of life. What would destroy our American way of life is if this kind of lying, bigotry, demagoguery, and incitement were to prevail. We cannot let that happen. Never Trump.

@MeghanMcCain We progressives who disagreed with Sen. McCain on most issues nevertheless greatly admired and were enormously grateful for his decision to preserve Obamacare. We feel the same about both Cheneys' decision to vote for Harris. If you find that "objectively hilarious," so be it.

Seeing all of these extreme progressives suddenly become Dick Cheney fans is objectively hilarious.

@ScottJenningsKY @CNN Others have pointed out the joint interviews that most past nominees have done with their running mates. I'll just point out that neither CNN nor any other news outlet with ever think it worthwhile to interview Scott Jennings alone and not on a panel with others.

Weak sauce for Kamala Harris to demand an emotional support animal for her first interview. Shows an extreme lack of confidence for Thursday night event on @cnn

@Amy_Siskind @FoxNews Let's be honest about this. Jesse won't be fired for this because he is paid for this.

Jesse Waters should be fired for this. Even the two women on this panel were appalled. What say you @FoxNews?

@matthewjdowd My respect for the Editorial Board has never been the same ever since I watched that episode of The Weekly showing them deciding on their (two) 2020 endorsements for Democratic nominee.

@murphymike The first thing that comes to my mind is Trump saying “This is just the way I am. I hate my opponent. I hate my opponents.” thebulwark.com/p/donald-trump…

Democracy

Goddamn. @PeteButtigieg does not miss. As powerful in a small room as he is in a big state.

@JamesSurowiecki The spitefulness and urge to deny the legacy of racism and privilege leads to such stupid arguments.

Were white people ever prohibited by law from attending state-funded public universities, forcing them to set up institutions of their own if they wanted a chance at a college education?

@TheRickWilson A flop.

Reservoir Douchebags

@Acyn It's a good question because, of course, there is no such evidence. At the same time, we do know that it is possible for a person whose daughter is married to a Jewish man to somehow be anti-semitic.

Reporter: You have repeatedly suggested that the only reason Kamala Harris didn't pick Josh Shapiro is because of his Jewish faith. Do you have any evidence to support that assertion that a person who is married to a Jewish man is somehow anti-semitic..

@GarrettHaake I'm old enough to remember that the Clinton campaign unfortunately forced Kaine to be an aggressive attack dog instead of his normal appealing self in his debate with Pence.

Lots of Dems love the meme-ability of Walz, but some people may be old enough to remember Tim Kaine: America’s Stepdad. Just a thought.

@BillKristol All the deals of his predecessors and his successor are bad. All his deals are good. Yet somehow all his businesses go bankrupt.

Boy, Trump really is just a repulsive creep and an inhumane jackass.

@newsjohnson @JamesFallows You can see how much this crowd is put off by it and feels like it's condescending. 😄

@JamesFallows It’s still weird. And no, not everyone does it. And yes, it’s still condescending.

@ChrisMurphyCT @threadreaderapp unroll

2/ First, what did VP Harris do? She created something called The Partnership for Central America, and convinced 56 companies to invest more than $5 billion to bolster Central American economies to address the causes of economic migration.

VP Harris was not made "border czar". That's made up. She WAS put in charge of addressing the root causes of migration from Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala and Mexico. A targeted but important task. 1/ And I got my hands on some data about the results that you need to see.

@marcthiessen When you're perched way out on the right wing, even the center looks like the far left.

For Never Trump or Trump reluctant conservatives the Harris nomination is a catastrophic development. At least Biden pretended to be a moderate. Now they have to choose between Trump and the most left wing Democratic presidential nominee in modern times — between Trump and a Democratic Socialist who is to the left of Bernie Sanders. Even the pretense of a benign alternative has been eliminated.

@Acyn The test really isn't whether he CAN win, is it? It's what are the odds, and are those odds good enough, compared to other qualified candidates? The nomination for a second term isn't a reward bestowed by the party for good performance. That may sting, but politics ain't beanbag.

Lichtman: They've spent weeks trashing him, and lo and behold, his poll ratings have slipped. Talk about a self-defeating prophecy. They push down his poll numbers and then say, "See, he can't win because his poll numbers are down, so we need to push him out." It's a spineless exhibition.
