Hillary

"Hillary Clinton wouldn't have been capable of the malice and malpractice Donald Trump is capable of, simply because she's a rational, level-headed, intelligent, articulate, compassionate human being—and he is none of those things."#ThursdayThoughts https://t.co/inz8Z5c61R

OBSTRUCTION

ending investigation?

Now that you’ve exhausted all the unnecessary drama.
1) Barr’s been on the job for what? 3 days?
2) these little nuggets observed last week
3) Mueller & his team have farmed out numerous cases
3a) do you really think he isn’t prepared?

SDNY management – Cohen

"…Mr. Trump called Matthew G. Whitaker, his newly installed attorney general, with a question. He asked whether Geoffrey S. Berman, the United States attorney for the Southern District of New York and a Trump ally, could be put in charge of the widening investigation…"

This is an important story with many critical issues. But I would say the bottom line is that Trump has obstructed justice. And innocent people don’t obstruct justice. https://t.co/VN1gWJfJ56

voter fraud – NC

"North Carolina poll workers told election officials on Tuesday they illegally viewed early election results last year, the latest evidence in a probe of voting irregularities in a still unsettled congressional race." https://t.co/zmOmWVY1an

This is voter fraud, pure & simple. Trump accused Democrats of this & created an election integrity commission to find it. They came up empty-handed. Apparently, they were looking in the wrong place. https://t.co/Pg3HwY5fCn

Identity politics

Just a reminder that "white and male" is an identity. "Working class" is an identity. "Worker" is an identity. "Real American" is an identity. None of these are neutral, universal defaults. Running on them is also identity politics.

message

Reminder that Hillary’s top line message in 2016 was to

“build an economy that works for everyone not just those at the top”

but we always pretend that Hillary has no msg and then praise 2020 folks saying almost verbatim the same thing.

This is not shade but an observation.
