Tweets on the White House Correspondents Dinner

While we debate whether the comedian at the press dinner told appropriate jokes, Trump has managed to convince millions of Americans that the press is the “enemy of the American people.” https://t.co/r8db5r6cU3

I would argue that’s more a problem with Twitter as a medium than anything people individually posted on it. https://t.co/89rpiUllxI

First question at the WH briefing should be: “Sarah, considering how you may have felt during the comedy routine at the WHCA dinner last night, can you understand how offensive the President’s words about Muslims, Mexicans, women, paralympians, Chuck Todd are? Will he stop?”

This was, to me, the most important line in her speech https://t.co/jwepRjRj76

I agree with @RepJeffries. It’s fine to mock what others say and do, but now how they look or sound. Such ad hominem or ad feminam attacks do much more harm than good. https://t.co/zn05ecAUyX

Sarah Sanders needs to suck it up. She spends her days lying and making excuses for a guy who once called Miss Universe "Miss Piggy" and made her exercise for TV cameras. When she can't justify what he says, she claims he was joking. What she and her boss never do, is apologize.

Deleted my WHCD tweet b/c I don't want to start parsing the jokes. My point is this: Responding to objections to X by Trump supporters by saying Trump is worse than X is whataboutism. If you want to defend the jokes or comedy or whatever, fine, but whataboutism is a weak argument

I attended the WHCD last night. Donald Trump has so poisoned the atmosphere by attacking the disabled, gold star parents, Muslims, Mexicans, Blacks, women, the press, the rule of law that a comedian who simply tells the truth is offensive? She’s joking. He’s not.

Students walk out of speech: mocks them as “children fleeing from political speech that they disagree with,” also talks about the importance of “learning to listen to a different POV.”

Good Point

Trump visits to his properties

Trump has been president for 464 days, which means he’s visited a Trump property 1 out of every 3 days in office. There are so many reasons why this isn’t in accordance with democratic ethics guidelines and yet it’s another unacceptable action that is now broadly accepted. https://t.co/LkREdedlc7

The news media should stop giving Trump businesses free publicity by mentioning them by name.

Trump as a toddler

This column in the Washington Post discusses the author’s year of instances of Trump acting like a toddler. Sad!

The Trump administration stresses abstinence as birth control

From this article: “The Trump administration has published its new plan for fighting teen pregnancy and its message to teens is clear: don’t have sex.

Anyone who wants federal government money to fight teen pregnancy must choose from two approaches that includes preventing teens from having sex, or persuading them to stop.”

There is no evidence this approach works.

Abstinence-only programs do not work.

How many more times is the Trump Administration going to value their ideology over scientifically proven methods that actually help our teens? https://t.co/s2pf6BtCF4

Sad!

Trump humiliated Cohen at his son’s Bar Mitzvah

This is an amazing story that shows what a piece of crap Trump is. How can anyone work for him? Sad!

Trump thinks people are like him

I think Trump’s attitude toward others reflects his own terrible behavior.

Trump accuses opponents of lying. He lies virtually everyday so I think he believes everyone does it.

Trump accuses everyone of making bad deals. Trump cheated people (Trump University) and many subcontractors. He thinks because he cheats everyone that everyone is out to cheat him. He has no understanding that a deal can benefit both sides.

Sad!

Trump’s hypocrisy

Trump blasted Clinton (and was correct) for having a private email server. Now he’s doing something which has similar security issues. Sad!

Dear @realDonaldTrump: You can either use secure communications & Gen Kelly will know who you are talking to, or you can use your unsecured personal cell phone and foreign intelligence agencies will know who you are talking to (and record your conversations). I'd go with Kelly. https://t.co/CFPpMz9ocu

Trump supporters are like Trump

They’re hateful and they can’t spell. See the entire tweet below for an example of the email that Stormy Daniels’s lawyer gets. Sad!

Here is a glimpse into what we deal with on an hourly basis. Retweet if you are outraged by this type of behavior. #basta pic.twitter.com/F1Gm3AkzWk

Disagreeing with you doesn’t make me unpatriotic

The Trump White House has said several times that people who disagree with them don’t love our country.

The column states: “It’s one thing to accuse the other side of playing politics on very serious matters and harming national security; it’s another to question whether they are acting in the interests of their country and how much they love their country.”

This is disgusting. Just because I don’t agree with Trump and his supporters doesn’t make me any less patriotic. There is room for disagreement without saying I am un-American if I don’t support Trump’s views. This is just another dangerous authoritarian action.

Sad!
