And this isn't keeping Epstein out of the news, either.

Yeah, the stories feed into each other in this case. Sort of why it happened.

Oh, nevermind, I got a bit mixed up there for a second about what that meant.
---

It isnt keeping acosta/epstein out of the news, but was the attempt to
---

The writing was on the wall with the census question and they had still been making attempts to keep it alive before and after Epstein's arrest. If you're right, and you may be, it was one of their more feeble attempts at this.
---

LOL Trump is out there defending Nancy Pelosi now

Also I love this nonsense statement

https://twitter.com/ddale8/status/1149689621321846784?s=21

Trump on Acosta: "He was a great student at Harvard. He's Hispanic. Which I so admire. Because maybe it was a little tougher for him. And maybe not."

---

This truly is the dumbest timeline
---

maybe trump remembered mid-sentence that he's supposed to be against universities having affirmative action programs
---

Well you know Justice Thomas has been saying for ages that one of the reasons he feels so strongly about affirmative action is that it cheapens the value of his Yale degree. People think he got in based on affirmative action rather than merit.
---

Thats their problem then. He sounds insecure

I love these directly contrasting tweets about Paul Ryan

https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/984066131303583746?s=20

Speaker Paul Ryan is a truly good man, and while he will not be seeking re-election, he will leave a legacy of achievement that nobody can question. We are with you Paul!

https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1149516400341348354?s=20

Paul Ryan, the failed V.P. candidate & former Speaker of the House, whose record of achievement was atrocious (except during my first two years as President), ultimately became a long running lame duck failure, leaving his Party in the lurch both as a fundraiser & leader......

---

Why is he even talking about Paul Ryan right now? What did I miss?
---

Paul Ryan is quoted in some book thats coming out about how Trump knew nothing about government, and that he and other people had to constantly rein in Trumps worst impulses, some of which are now happening anyway now that the adults in the room are gone

This is sort of like the US Congress making Robert E. Lee's house a National Monument to honor his services to the United States before and after the Civil War (no mention of during).

Video of the staffer Trump supposedly forced himself on and kissed against her consent.

Take it as you will.

Disclaimer: Not sure this video matches the description of the account of when it happened.

Edit: Nevermind. It seems this is legit. She said the video proves her claim.

Frankly, I think shit like this does nothing but help him out. The video clearly shows him going for the cheek and she leans into it, not away. All this is going to do is make those who say every accusation is a lie get even louder.

So goddamn embarrassing.

On one hand, more people are seeing the blatant bullshit Ive been talking about forever.

But on the other hand, boy are the Democrats blowing it.
---

The progressive dems insinuating that the moderates are racists don't look great here either

In any case, all of them should be focused on combating the Republicans
---

I've always felt pretty safe about the 2020 elections, but since winning the house Dem leadership is doing and incredibly good job of revealing how gutless they are when they're just constantly punching left at the same time as they drag the brakes on fighting the Trump admin.

The tweet the actual House Dems Twitter is responding to said I dont think shes a racist person, but her votes support a racist system.

Its worth noting that all of the coverage about AOC calling Pelosi racist originated on the Daily Caller and Daily Wire (when it first dropped, I even googled AOC Pelosi racist and they were the only two news results). It got more widespread when Trump, who obviously consumes Right Wing talking points, defended Nancy Pelosi about it.

Just my opinion, but maybe the Dems best bet would be to not repeat the same lines the Republicans are using?

I would pay money to get Gravel's twitter handlers on the debate stage

Well sadly we won't be getting the teens, but it does look like Mike Gravel might have made it into the next debates! Got enough donors anyway.

this is where those cartoonish disguises of kids sitting on their shoulders comes in

god that would be incredible, one debate gets disguised Gravel teens and the other debate gets Williamson

Contrast Republican infighting (Trump/Ryan) with Dem infighting (Pelosi/AOC) and that's all you need to know about why the GOP has completely dominated policy this century.
---

As always, this meaningless statement has been brought to you by SephG.
---

The difference between the Republican debates and the Democratic debates is that the Republican ones were driven by the candidates while the Dem ones were driven by the moderators.
---

I just stumbled into some Q shit on Twitter... apparently they think Tom Steyer only joined the race so when its revealed he was an Epstein pedophile bro he can claim its a baseless attack on his campaign (?)

great stuff

When Republicans fight, it's not through cowardly subtweets. They either resolve things behind closed doors or they act like men and directly bash one another in as mean of terms as possible. And then they get back to work.

Basically this is a classic example of a masculine way of conflict resolution vs acting like bitches. Most people do not like the latter, as it's a serious display of weakness.

Pelosi's CoS pulled the Kevin Spacey Defence for him retweeting the House Dems garbage last night

It is representative of the generation gaps associated with them. It is why Pelosi is telling her to keep it off Twitter.

That guy is such a coward, he doesn't even tag the accounts of the people he's insulting. He even gives them stupid nicknames to make it harder to search.

"The Democrats are such cowards when they fight, they do it over Twitter!"

While Trump uses Twitter more than anybody and fires people from the safety of Air Force One

Literally any "The Democrats are thin skinned cowards!" flat out does not work when Trump is a thing.

EDIT: Then again, it does make sense coming from Seph, the most thin skinned person in this topic

I specifically said they SUBTWEET. Do you not know what that means? They don't actually do what Trump does, which is go right for the jugular. His approach is more honest.

Democrats actually tag who they're talking about instead of hiding behind using nicknames that allow the tweets to fade more quickly, so that automatically puts them leagues beyond Trump

Yes. That's how men argue. The Democrats argue like soft nancies who are afraid to accidentally hurt feelings. Generally society despises those kinds of people.

You and I have distinctly different ideas of what honesty is.

Do you believe Trump actually believes the things he said about Ryan, or do you think hes just flailing about like a toddler trying to hurt someone who hurt his feelings?

Look at silly ninny SephyGooGoo ignoring my 100% correct point that everybody knows is right, because he has no real comeback. He's soft and can't get anything done, which is why he makes up all of this fake news to pretend he knows what he's talking about. INEFFECTIVE!

Also I see Sephs attempt at wordplay, and I reject it as clever.
