This morning on Meet the Press Rudy Giuliani said that Don Jr. didn’t even know the email came from the Russians. It could’ve been anyone, he laughed.
Uh, it specifically said “this is on behalf of Russia & its government’s support for Mr. Trump.”
AND NO ONE CORRECTED HIM.
Catch me on
@NRATV
this morning talking about my challenge to
@davidhogg111
to arm wrestle over the fate of the 2nd amendment. Think twig arms will tune in?
Can I explain a little something about Hillary Clinton supporters? We are extremely protective of her. We feel like she has been unfairly maligned for 30 years. (We feel this because it is true.) As a result, we are very quick to defend her.
Tonight I’m thinking of my hero
@HillaryClinton
, who attended Donald Trump’s inauguration despite the vile hatefulness of his campaign against her because she is a true patriot.
Yesterday, an article was published suggesting that Jimmy Fallon is a rage monster and Twitter was like, “Yeah, that checks out.” Today an article was published suggesting Martin Short is not that funny, and Twitter was like, “We rally at dawn!”
Has Donny Deutsch ever HEARD Elizabeth Warren? She’s the opposite of strident. She’s folksy. It is so bizarre what some men hear when intelligent women speak.
I do believe Mattson wanted to fuck Shiv but I think he was testing Tom in that scene. He wanted to make sure Tom was fully compliant, a man with no sense of honor, no moral code. Needless to say, Tom passed.
I was shocked to discover that the girl washing my hair at the salon today was too young for Twilight or Harry Potter. I said to her, what was the pop-culture phenomenon of your high school? She paused for a second, and replied “COVID?” ☹️
For people saying Taylor Swift isn’t forthcoming enough in MISS AMERICANA. She talks about an eating disorder, low self esteem, her fear of rejection, and sexual assault. What do want, her social security number?
The Ben Shapiro thread on the GLASS ONION is legit hilarious. Putting the (predictable) politics aside, he says that Johnson misdirects and deceives the audience. Sacre bleu! A misdirection in a murder mystery? Now I’ve seen everything!
One of the funny things about Hillary Clinton’s podcast, which I love, is that guests are always talking about how depressed they were when she lost. And she always responds with an enthusiastic, “I know, right?”
It wasn't about the mean tweets. The mean tweets were an excuse. It was because she was seen as a surrogate for Hillary Clinton, a kind of deranged hatred that unites the right and the far left.
Joe Scarborough suggests that Democrats start wielding the word fascists as indiscriminately and irresponsibly as Republicans wield the word socialists. I think he’s onto something.
I understand you can’t always fact check in the moment. (Although that one was a softball.) But I have a solution. If a mouthpiece goes on a show 3 times and tells a flagrant, demonstrable lie they are not ever invited back.
I really do challenge anyone who has demonized Hillary over the years—you know who you are—to listen to three episodes of her podcast. You’ll find her to be an uncommonly wise, kind, curious, erudite, and witty person. The opposite of who you think she is.
It’s not a coincidence that Leonardo DiCaprio has only worked with one female director. A middle-aged dude who keeps dating women under 23 doesn’t respect women. As always, be more like Keanu.
@stevanzetti
@elonmusk
How had this never occurred to me? All of these people who say they’ve been “red-pilled,” who think they’ve seen the light and that wokeism is ruining this country are quoting a film created by TWO TRANS WOMEN. The irony is *chef’s kiss*
Time to face the harsh reality, socialist Bernie Sanders will become the chairman of the Sen Budget Committee. He has vowed to use his position to enact his progressive agenda on healthcare, climate, infrastructure spending, & cutting defense spending.
@standamericanow
This Neera Tanden thing is gross. Feels like one of those things where forces on the right and forces on the far left are joining together to take down a qualified woman. Sound familiar?
On a very fundamental level, Bernie thinks that Trump voters are decent people who are just disenfranchised. That’s why he’s using Rogan as a conduit to get to them. He truly believes (and has always believed) that his message will resonate with them.
JOJO RABBIT is being re-released in theaters today. A lot of Film Twitter sophisticates hate it. I love it—and here's why. Primarily, it's a film about maternal love. About whether you'd let your kid be an actual Nazi if you thought it would protect him.
Can we just take a moment to praise journalist
@atrupar
for always having the exact video clip or transcript that we need? The man's like Google, but for Twitter.
I will say this. If you’re going to nominate TOP GUN: MAVERICK For Best Picture, you’ve gotta nominate Tom Cruise. He’s the whole thing. He’s the Top Gun AND the Maverick. He’s the movie and the movie is him.
@chrissyteigen
It’s so important you share this story. Many people don’t realize that a total abortion ban includes lifesaving procedures like this. Thank you. 🙌
Here’s a question I have about our current pandemic. People keep saying life as we once knew it is never going to be the same. But there was a flu pandemic in 1918 and life returns to normal pretty quickly after that. What makes this different?
@TulsiGabbard
Hillary Clinton got 66 million votes in the last presidential election. You’re polling at...checks notes...2 percent. Only in your fevered imagination is this race about you in any way shape or form.
In the
@intouchweekly
interview, Stormy Daniels says
@realDonaldTrump
wouldn't give to shark charities. I checked: the Trump Fdn. gave $0 to any shark-focused charities. Closest was $10K to Florida Keys Reef Relief, where a Trump friend is on the board.
One day I’ll be able to watch a Hillary Clinton interview and not be filled with a potent combination of rage and sorrow that she’s not our president. Oh, who am I trying to kid? That day is never going to come.

Another reason why we need media literacy training in high school: People lump all "media" together. They make no distinction between a news page or an opinion page, a news bureau or a cable talk show host, a pundit or a reporter, etc.
It’s not just that he’s wrong and it’s not just that he’s racist, although both things are demonstrably true. It’s his mocking, derisive laughter that makes my skin crawl. That brand of gleeful nihilism has fully permeated the right.
One problem we have in this country is that the left is very concerned about dividing the country further, whereas the right has essentially made dividing the country its primary platform.
I’ve heard some Republicans suggest that the Dems have been crying racism for so long that when *actual* racism comes it falls on deaf ears. Here’s a new narrative: It’s been racism this whole damn time and we’ve been warning you and it’s exactly what led to this ugly moment.
Most popular responses:
Idris Elba
Oscar Isaac
Chris Pine
Michael B. Jordan
Bradley Cooper
Ryan Gosling
Jason Momoa
None seem right. (Elba is closest but not quite Pitt/Cruise level.)
Can we say Hannah Gadsby’s It’s Pablo-matic is dumb without rewriting history on NANETTE? It was a fascinating meta narrative on comedy, homophobia, and self-loathing. It wasn’t ha-ha funny but it was interesting as hell.
I just heard some pundit say that if Hillary Clinton hadn’t used a personal email server, she would have won the election. Repeat after me: IT WAS NEVER ABOUT THE EMAILS. It was never even about Benghazi. They hated her, attacked her, and far too many of you were easy marks.
To say I love Bernie Sanders but I hate his followers on Twitter is the moral equivalent of saying I love Donald Trump but I hate his tweets. His followers are created in his image.
Who's the big male heartthrob movie star right now? My whole life we've had one: Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio. There isn't that one guy right now, is there?
@kylegriffin1
It is so bizarre when people have no moral code and no personal integrity. They just fling around their hypocritical and self serving opinions like a monkey throwing shit.
I can’t believe Trump is out there encouraging violence against journalists and it’s not the biggest scandal of the year. We are all so desensitized. It’s terrifying how quickly that happened.
It's going to be so hard to convince anyone under 30 that the GOP used to at least have SOME serious people in congress and they weren't all trolls and grifters and criminals.
