- Feeling the same. We got burned by assuming Trump v United States was a slam dunk and then boom, new doctrine of presidential immunity.
- given the overwhelming number of targets with the trump administration and the republican majority in congress, it is actually bonkers to think that democrats have anything to gain from litigating biden. let the guy disappear and focus on the stuff that is unpopular with voters!

- yesterday i published this piece about Trump floating a bullshit plan to "raise taxes on the rich" in order to bait the media into talking about it. shortly after, the GOP released their tax plan, which naturally includes no tax such increase on the rich.

View full threaddespite the fact that literally nothing of import happened, trump will benefit from what the media gifted him: some group of people out there absorbed those headlines and think that he either taxed the rich or wants to. but he didn't and he doesn't. he's just working the world's dumbest refs.

- “Joe Biden did nothing to fix the system that they knew was broken.” He did nothing — except pass a $105 billion program to fix the system. Reporters, Sean Duffy thinks you’re incapable of a simple Google search.
- To be fair, it is true that Biden did not pass a meaningless EO targeted at this exact issue which is patently illegal and ineffective.

- TODAY the NYT publishes an investigation into the Trump memecoin $TRUMP and how it has turned into a extraordinary venue for foreign influence campaigns. What we are seeing is potentially corrupt attempts to change US policy by paying the Trump family money. This is no "Russian Hoax" nyti.ms/4kkv7D7

View full threadCorruption requires explict quid pro quo. It is not corrupt to take an action that aligns with the interest of a person who gives you a gift, unless the official action was in direct response to that gift--a bribe. Terms matter. Accuracy and fairness matters. Regardless of what social media wants.
- So your argument is hopefully Trump will be ethical enough to not take these massive personal gifts from supplicants into account when discharging his office? Seems awfully naive, bro.
