Republicans: it's more important to defend holding human beings in filthy, standing room only cages than it is to defend fellow Americans from racist slurs. They can hold humans in filth because those humans are brown. They can slur fellow Americans because those Americans are brown. They can accomplish both for the same reason. Makes perfectly logical sense.Eschew obfuscation. Habituate elucidation.

They really are implacably opposed to the rule of law. Except when they can make up their own law through executive action.Eschew obfuscation. Habituate elucidation.

I can't see the tweets using the Duck Duck Go browser. Probably has something to do with the built in privacy features, and there may not be anything you can do about it.
They do show up when I use Chrome.It says something about the qualities of our current president that the best argument anyone has made in his defense is that he didn’t know what he was talking about. -- Paul Krugman

The Twitter war between Trump and four Democrats in the house (Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and Ayanna Pressley) continues:
If anyone knows what Trump is referring to when he says the Congresswomen "have been spewing some of the most vile, hateful, and disgusting things ever said by a politician in the House or Senate", please enlighten us. His reference to "shouting the F...word" refers to Tlaib's promise to "impeach the motherfucker" when speaking to a small gathering shortly after the 2018 election where she was not shouting, video in this tweet:

He's referring to the voices in his head.

From The New York Times:
Trump’s Aides, Not Eager to Defend His Tweets, Also Don’t Condemn Them This main thrust of this article is to describe how, even if uncomfortable in private over Trump's overt racism, in public cabinet appointees and aids refuse to condemn it. But what I found interesting:
More frustrating to many internally, they said, was that Mr. Trump interrupted an intraparty Democratic fight between Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the freshman congresswomen known as “the squad” by uniting them against a common enemy in the White House. Intending to rally the support of his white nationalist base, Trump's tweet may have the unintended effect of uniting the Democrats and taking their current fight out of the headlines. In that regard, now that the spotlight is no longer shining on them I hope the Democrats can work out some kind of accommodation with each other.

"Conservatives are wrong." The Right Wing seems to view that as hate speech.It says something about the qualities of our current president that the best argument anyone has made in his defense is that he didn’t know what he was talking about. -- Paul Krugman

Ha! I'm not the only one!
From The Guardian: Trump accuses the members of Congress of not loving the USA. The members might reply that their whole point was that a great country like the United States can do better than caging children. But in Trump’s rubric criticism amounts to treason. It says something about the qualities of our current president that the best argument anyone has made in his defense is that he didn’t know what he was talking about. -- Paul Krugman
