Probably the worst VA GOP response to this mess would be to make it look like it wants to undo the 2017 election and take power through resignations, so...

@TimStone i mean is the entire VA GOP not worried about their own past pictures in blackface?

Memor-X

@GodEmperorDune depends on whether they would feel any shame in doing something offensive or that they were caught

GodEmperorDune

@Memor-X ehhh they might take it as a good thing for their supporters

Memor-X

"i am now a different person and i regret how i acted back then" VS "shit i was caught, guess i have to be more careful doing black face in future so no one finds out about it"

This evening I wrote a letter to Prince Charles regarding a trip he is planning to Cuba. As heir to the throne, your visit to Cuba will send a clear message. For the sake of standing up for democracy, I hope that you will reconsider your trip.

Sir, 1. Why do you always look like you want to steal my soul?

2. Did you just ask the monarchs to preserve democracy?

Jill Abramson tells Vox: "Some of these things I should have just quoted in the text. But look, I was trying to write a seamless narrative, and to keep breaking it up with “according to” qualifiers would have been extremely clunky." https://www.vox.com/2019/2/8/18206892/jill-abramson-plagiarism-book-merchants-of-truth

@TimStone "I can't be arsed to do it properly"

GodEmperorDune

how does jill abramson have any legitimacy after this mess?

"we'll pay you to write a book" "ok but .... just hear me out ... what if i copy paste large swaths of it?"

Frank

@TimStone That entire article is about her dodging all criticsm.

Then throwing her team under the bus.

Tim Stone

Yeah, she's...she's bad

I also liked her saying "Ah, I've identified some issues we'll have to correct in a future printing" and it's like mmmm maybe you should actually just not get a future printing?

North Korea, under the leadership of Kim Jong Un, will become a great Economic Powerhouse. He may surprise some but he won’t surprise me, because I have gotten to know him & fully understand how capable he is. North Korea will become a different kind of Rocket - an Economic one!

The footage of my arrest shows you how ridiculous this all is. I was arrested at gun point, my wife was taken away, my dogs were scared. All that for someone who committed minor process crimes. Oh yes, and guess what? CNN were there 10 minutes before it happened. What a shitshow.

Tweeted by MrRogerStone on February 9, 2019 at 12:43 PM

Admitting to doing crimes is a novel defense

his lawyer frantically on the phone to tell him to stop posting

Tim Stone

The judge preemptively told him not to post, basically

Love too do contempt on top of my "minor process crimes"

The most amazing stat in this story for me: Stories *about* Twitter generate more pageviews than Twitter sends to all news stories *combined* http://www.niemanlab.org/2019/02/heres-where-your-new-readers-are-going-to-come-from-in-2019/

Hrm, I feel like we really need to have a national conversation about how out of hand this stuff is getting :/

Like that's…that's not okay. How in the hell doesn't it just have a dumb offline mode?

That is a very good question!

Between that and the smart locks with vulnerabilities and no physical fallback I feel like this is very Not Ideal

The Democrats in Congress yesterday were vicious and totally showed their cards for everyone to see. When the Republicans had the Majority they never acted with such hatred and scorn! The Dems are trying to win an election in 2020 that they know they cannot legitimately win!

@Nzall this is just insane

I actually watched the video - the whole thing was unnecessary

Nzall

Yeah, indeed

sorry, I was trying to make a joke there, but there isn't really something jokeworthy in that story

user15026

The joke would have been inappropriate regardless, honestly

Speaking of inappropriate jokes camera pans to the President's Twitter feed Whew

He appears to be making a Trail of Tears "joke" about Warren 🤷‍♂️
