Twits on Twitter 0

Jason330 makes a valid point:

I’ve said from the beginning that the press should not call them “tweets” but “statements.” We’ve given Trump’s statements through twitter a special status.

Hannah Arendt quote:  The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists.

Vindictive frolics.

Aside:

I’m not sure I agree wholly with Farron’s comments about how telling lies on “social” media does not constituted “election interference.” Certainly, it’s not the same as interfering with the casting or counting of ballots, but I submit that the line between “election interference” and “electorate interference” is a fuzzy one.

Rules of Derangement, Reprise 0

Dan Simpson, writing at The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, also takes a shot at understanding Donald Trump. A snippet:

How do we make sense of Mr. Trump and his actions? Anyone who has been a parent knows that there often is one child at a play date who breaks all of the toys. In this case, among the toys getting broken are the U.S. justice system, America’s relationships with its allies and the morale of America’s armed forces, which were ordered to deter aspiring immigrants at the Mexican border and who missed Thanksgiving with their families so that Mr. Trump and Republicans could score political points.
