President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

On the whole duct taped women thing:
If we are worried about immigrants trafficking women INTO our country, that's a pretty sad indictment of our country.
Wouldn't he do better at stirring up sentiment by claiming immigrants were coming up here, stealing women and taking them out of the country?

 

Ann Coulter is booked on Bill Maher tonight. Should be fun.

 

Millennials/Gen Z are absolutely the driving generations of Twitter.

I don't necessarily disagree with your analysis, but I'll say this: The threshold of how these stories get covered will be tested. A full conversation over ableism, for example, is coming, I suspect, and it will challenge the notion of what is and what isn't news.

 

Is Bannon next?

Steve Bannon is the 'high-ranking Trump campaign official' mentioned in Roger Stone's indictment

 

it's only January 25, but this is an early leader for the oddest simile posted to SJ in 2019. I imagine myself having a dream about this Natty Light scenario sometime in the next week.

 

Not sure the rank and file Trumpists understand there's no good (or even bad) way to spin today.

He got beat flat.

So don't stand by the fax machine waiting for this afternoon's newsletter.

 

bahaha.

 

It's funny how surprised people are to see veterans disrespected by "conservatives" like Coulter.

Say what you want about the "Wimp Factor" magazine cover, but George HW Bush was a fucking war hero.

 

You're really contorting yourself trying to make this a referendum on the young'uns.

Clara Jeffery, Mother Jones, 51 years old.
Ilhan Omar, congresswoman, 37 years old.
Jake Tapper, CNN, 49 years old
Scott Adams, Dilbert creator, 61 years old.
Kara Swisher, Recode, 57 years old
Ron Perlman, actor, 68 years old
Kathy Griffin, comedian, 58 years old

These are some of the more prominent figures who were beating the Covington drum on Twitter early on. Most of them have retracted, apologized for, or softened their stances since.

How many Tweets from millennials do you see embedded on this thread. Any?

Anecdotally, my breakdown would be:

Facebook: Baby Boomers
Twitter: Gen. X/Seinfeld generation/post-Vietnam
Instagram: Millenials, Gen. Z

The kids are all on the Insta these days

 

If you're telling the tail wags the dog, my man, no argument here. The Baby Boomer/early Gen X fascination with millennials' activist tendencies and proclivities - which, really, is a desire to recapture or refeed their own youth for the sake of scoring cool points - fascinates me.

80% of Twitter's users - according to Twitter - are affluent millennials.

WH should get him on a plane to Florida ASAP. If he watches cable news tonight or in the morning, we might bomb Syria.
