Bad...Takes

An NBC producer talked to Rep. Greene’s constituents in Rome, GA yesterday. Many were not bothered by her conspiracies.

“Noah was a conspiracy theorist himself when he built the ark,” one supporter said. “So who are we to say that it’s true or not?” https://t.co/vRn2tEAPrj

The bad take here is the number of people on Twitter who don’t realize this is satire.

“Domestic terrorists can’t be charged with a crime” is the dumbest thing I’ve heard this week. https://t.co/Ze13XMRBAQ

The rule of thumb is: nobody on “legal Twitter” knows what they’re talking about. It’s safer that way.

The gift that keeps on giving.

On Jan. 4, Hawley said when asked if he was saying Trump could still be POTUS on Jan. 20: "That depends on what happens on (Jan. 6).” Hawley now says his objection wasn’t meant to overturn election. Also says he wouldn’t have answered that differently. https://t.co/9WPd4SNTWK

Because that’s the problem with how we elect Presidents: not enough people involved in the election outcome.

New w/ @GabbyOrr_ and opinions about this lede from @samstein: Three weeks ago, Trump was radioactive, even in the top quarters of his own party. Now, those same Repubs are convinced they can't live without the energy he gives off, even if it proves toxic.https://t.co/feKJP8HiTn

And in Russia Putin punishes Navalny because Putin doesn’t want to lose either, but he controls the government. Trump only controls the GOP, so we’re not a dictatorship. See?
