These fucking idiots took emails of Hillary Clinton ordering pizza and turned them into a child trafficking scheme, but they’re perfectly fine with Donald Trump being best friends with the most notorious sex trafficker of our time.

This is why "you're right, it isn't what you voted for, because your values aren't shared by the Republican Party" is a much more effective message to help build a better America than "yes you did vote for this, you bad person" which fails to take advantage of this once-in-a-generation opportunity

I think, done properly, they merge into one. She may not have explicitly wanted this to happen, & not thought it was what she was voting for, but she did, in fact, vote for it. That's the gap that needs fixing: between what she *thought* she was voting for & what she *actually* was voting for.

It’s insane to me that the orange felon was even able to run for President after being federally charged with interfering in an election whilst being a convicted felon, but it’s more insane that those charges are now being dropped because he “won” an election that he began saying was rigged.

The REAL story on Pam Bondi, Trump University, and Trump's $25,000 payment to Bondi: 1/ In August 2013, I was at the NY AG, and Bondi was Florida AG. On August 24, 2013, I filed the NY AG's prosecution of Trump University and Donald Trump, for $42 million in fraud. 🧵

I really, seriously don’t wanna be a jerk but academics need to stop talking about “academic freedom” and start talking about “administrative harassment” or “political bullying” or something Use words other people understand and have sympathy for
