17:20:48 Talked about this some on the latest Curmudgeon’s Corner podcast as well as the latest @ElectionGraphs blog post. I suspect this is indeed mostly name recognition.

01:10:28 Retweeted @IsaacDovere 2019-06-21 16:03:56 I spent some time digging through Biden’s comments on race over the years…. what he said this week is part of a career-long pattern of thinking his own party’s activists go too far and even the awful the opposition on the other side can be understood:
https://t.co/3y4FVLwmys
01:45:41 Retweeted @Popehat 2019-06-21 17:52:06 @radleybalko I wrote some time ago how even the best legal advice — shut up and dont’ talk to the cops — can have dramatically harsher consequences for poor people.https://t.co/RSwkFETbT4 in reply to radleybalko
01:47:38 Retweeted @radleybalko 2019-06-20 23:38:06 This is a thread about time and the criminal justice system. We tend to think that the time of judges and lawyers is expensive. They’re professional people doing important things, so their time is scarce. We also tend to think that accused people tend to be poor…

01:58:51 Retweeted @gtconway3d 00:40:58 So, as usual, Trump lied.вЂњAdministration officials said Trump was told earlier Thursday how many casualties could occur if a strike on Iran was carried out and that he had given the green light that morning to prepare the operation.вЂќ https://t.co/bsWU4bNub5

02:06:56 Retweeted @goldengateblond 2019-06-21 21:52:48 The president was accused of rape and it’s barely a blip in the news cycle. I just think it’s important to mention just how fucked up that is. Carry on.

13:15:52 Retweeted @NPRinskeep 13:03:38 One may use these numbers to argue that Trump is not so bad.

20:45:58 @DaveMc99TA I think the press feels like this is the 16th public accusation, not counting the ones who won’t go on the record, and if #1 to #15 didn’t go anywhere & didn’t change anything, why would #16? So therefore it is old news & not all that interesting compared to other shiny objects. in reply to DaveMc99TA
20:56:39 Retweeted @Mimirocah1 19:23:59 Lots of talk about whether Trump could be prosecuted raping Ms. Carroll. He can’t be. The statute of limitations is the one in effect in 1990 which was 5 (or in some cases 10) yrs. In 2006, NYS eliminated the statute of limitations for rape but it can’t apply retroactively.@MSNBC

01:40:02 Retweeted @MaxBoot 2019-06-20 17:09:13 Rubio has decided that Trump is the future of the Republican Party. He’s probably right.

13:54:27 Retweeted @gtconway3d 13:35:04 Resign. If you didn’t know this until it was almost too late, you’re even more of an idiot than people think you are. Do the country and the world a favor. Go back to real estate, where the worst you can do is kill banks. https://t.co/k7z9KW4Elt
13:55:54 Retweeted @saletan 13:34:30 Possibilities:
1. He didn’t ask for a casualty estimate until 10 minutes before the strike.
2. He did, accepted it, later aborted the strike for other reasons, and is lying about his reasons.
3. He never intended to go through with the strike.
4. He never authorized a strike. https://t.co/LEuE00duBQ
14:58:41 Retweeted @ksadjadpour 11:32:19 It’s remarkable to what extent the decision of war and peace is being micro-managed by two cynical elderly men (73-year-old Trump and 80-year-old Khamenei) who’ve always put personal interests before national interests. The consequences of their decisions will long outlive them. https://t.co/3BsGXQ54vK
15:06:19 Just to be clear, not going through with attacking Iran was the correct action. The aversion to this kind of thing is one of the few places where Trump’s instincts are good. But the process that led to that moment is still stunningly incompetent.
15:14:37 Retweeted @nycsouthpaw 14:58:34 Probably uncouth to say this, but it’s been patently obvious for a couple months that Democrats aren’t going to get any meaningful factual testimony at all using these tactics and likely need to grab someone up and put him in a borrowed cell to change the prevailing winds. https://t.co/CwrfzLSy9W

19:07:42 Retweeted @OhNoSheTwitnt 19:02:23 If Liz Warren tweets a selfie in front of Air Force One with the caption вЂњI Have A Plane For ThatвЂќ she should automatically become president.

19:27:51 Retweeted @ProducerMcD 18:44:41 You know what would be really bad? If there was proof – like, maybe a taped recording – of Donald Trump gleefully admitting that he sexually assaults women just like this latest accusation says he does.

23:08:44 This is a difficult case. Removing the child in the first place was a great injustice and should never have happened. But having lived 4 of 5 years of life with the adopted parents, removing the child from them at this point would almost certainly be harmful to the child too. https://t.co/SOnY1dVFNI
23:30:11 @DaveMc99TA Yeah, taking the child away from the only home it has ever known is one thing, but there is no excuse whatsoever for no visitation. There should be some mechanism to at least allow regular contact. in reply to DaveMc99TA

01:21:24 Retweeted @justkelly_ok 00:34:30 I’ll just leave this here. Let’s be clear: Biden didn’t collaborate with segregationists on some unrelated policy. He collaborated with them to stop school integration via busing. https://t.co/qACEJiK5pB

The whole thing has the stench of mass psychosis, murderous rage, and a fatal disconnect with reality. It’s Jonestown but much worse.
05:35:24 Retweeted @mirandayaver 04:17:07 We need a total and complete shutdown of anti-vaxxers until we can figure out what the hell is going on. https://t.co/4Sv5Rv0SrO
06:39:44 Oh good. I’m sure that’ll help calm things down. https://t.co/swaGMDSyEh
07:03:05 Retweeted @NumbersMuncher 02:04:21 This (real) video from GE on how to reset their “C” light bulbs is the most incredible how-to video you’ll ever see.They want to see how far they can push their customers before they snap. https://t.co/gbXOc543fy

“there’s only so much we can do. This is his decision.” story from @MarcACaputo https://t.co/B8ZhA2hpTd
15:37:12 Retweeted @adebradley 11:24:19 Amazing: 20,000 people sign a petition to cancel Good Omens as it makes satanism appear normal, and seem unhappy that God was played by a woman. However they petitioned Netflix. Good Omens of course was made by the BBC and Amazon: https://t.co/VsWveY2sUj (ht @ClaudioAlbertin)
16:17:33 Retweeted @drvox 15:41:12 “The Trump administration argued in front of a Ninth Circuit panel Tuesday that the gov’t is not required to give soap or toothbrushes to children apprehended at the U.S.-Mexico border & can have them sleep on concrete floors in frigid, overcrowded cells.” https://t.co/EQnypgwrNt
20:47:37 Retweeted @dsamuelsohn 20:12:21 BREAKING: Federal prosecutors say Roger Stone has violated his gag order, citing his recent social media posts and file motion to Judge Jackson requesting an immediate hearing. Story TK. https://t.co/lRy8tQYaSh
20:57:19 This is all so horrifying. https://t.co/UoS9P6GUse
22:19:43 Guess I should look this over when I have a chanceвЂ¦ https://t.co/PsyPUgU01d
23:13:37 Retweeted @ryanjreilly 23:09:21 Having Hope Hicks sit at the witness table quietly as Trump’s lawyers objected to basic questions over and over and over again would have been pretty compelling television, and likely would’ve shifted public views in ways that this transcript never will. https://t.co/pWwrE3a1mL in reply to ryanjreilly
23:32:42 Retweeted @RVAwonk 17:22:31 This is dumb. We know, with absolute certainty, that Russian operatives posing as Americans on social media convinced Trump supporters to organize and show up at real-life rallies.In other words, they influenced voter behavior in the 2016 election. https://t.co/mSsN5NHYN6
23:48:35 Retweeted @notcapn_america 2019-06-19 23:35:57 At this point I think Joe Biden would have a more successful primary if he literally just went home, took a nap for 7 months, and woke up on Iowa caucus day.Every time he opens his mouth or makes an appearance he’s a disaster.
23:51:50 Retweeted @cjchivers 16:59:40 this panel should be on the screens/whiteboards/tables of every editor or producer meeting in every newsroom in the united states. https://t.co/CfwkMIz0K3

but of course it is https://t.co/kSqMi14UL2
15:33:27 The idea that people would pay much attention to bills the House passes that don’t actually become law was always silly. That is not how you drive public attention. https://t.co/y5GxXxndZ6
19:22:34 Thread and article https://t.co/HABZFdG60T
19:23:59 Retweeted @tedlieu 18:58:35 One reason @HouseJudiciary did this interview of Hope Hicks?(1) To put on the record the absurdity of the immunity claim so that we win in court. Ruling would then apply to other witnesses.
(2) To make the judge laugh. But that’s a function of (1) above.
