I can't believe Bill Barr would shield the executive branch from accusations of shady dealings with foreign powers and obstruction of justice. I just can't believe it.

The ironic thing is that if indeed they did rush the summary to fudge the findings in the report, it hasn't seemed to make a bit of difference in Trump's approval ratings.

This is really bizarre. Is there any basis in reality for what he's saying here?

Of course not. But try telling that to any of his supporters. Just like getting cancer from windmill noise.

Looks like this is what's being referenced. Clearly Northam doesn't say anything about killing babies, but his comments are a little confusing.

I agree with Peeps (have I ever typed those words before?). Clearly Trump has gotten cancer from listening to windmills [wind turbines].
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

Northam, a pediatric neurologist, is trying to demonstrate the care and concern that goes into dealing with nonviable live births by explaining what is done with them TODAY. What he describes in that clip is how doctors and families address a painful and hopeless decision every day in this country, and it really fucking sucks to watch it misrepresented for political gain.

It sucks, but that's politics, right? When addressing the people you've got to keep your message clear and simple. Trying to be too nuanced will get your words taken out of context.

1. The president posting memes from Reddit....ugh

2. This is a 21st-century version of a particular type of “mocking feigned sincerity” political messaging that used to get used more often. Early Limbaugh was a fan of it during the Clinton years. It fell out of favor because research showed that it pretty consistently enhanced exposure to and appreciation for the original message. It backfires. People laugh and go “ok, that’s pretty funny,” but the thing is....they heard the words.

It has worked better on the internet, because it generally only reaches the people who are already in its bubble. Public messaging research continues to find that the more exposure it gets outside that bubble, the more it backfires.

3. Biden’s apology was well crafted as an early messaging effort, but was kind of narrow and light. I assume he has more to say at upcoming appearances, but if this is his entire reaction it’s...not all that great. Trump’s childish mockery can only serve to make it look more mature, earnest, and reflective than it actually is.

If DJT wants to bring up the way men treat women as part of his campaign, he probably shouldn't.
