04:40:20 Retweeted @varadmehta04:05:41 All people will be talking about Wednesday about the CNN story won’t be its substance but its ethics. Trump wins again. Bravo, everyone.
22:57:50 Retweeted @SykesCharlie20:28:38 Let history record that the day after NK launched 2-stage ICBM capable of delivering nuke to US, social media was obsessing about a GIF
02:47:48 Retweeted @ddale802:31:27 Trump on pursuing women: “I moved on her very heavily.”
Trump on Asia: “Perhaps China will put a heavy move on North Korea.”
03:02:10 Retweeted @HeerJeet02:59:17 I hate to be a downer but this Trump shit could end really, really badly. I mean in the worst possible way.
03:20:41 Retweeted @profmusgrave02:27:10 It’s just the president accidentally issuing a threat to China via his unsecure social media account. Happy Fourth of July!
03:34:19 Retweeted @Olivianuzzi03:04:09 Remember, the White House spin is Trump’s tweets don’t matter & we shouldn’t pay attention but also they’re official presidential statements
06:23:37 Retweeted @herminghaus2017-07-03 11:16:00 If you don’t care about latency, ship a 20ft intermodal container full of 32GB micro-SD cards across the globe. It’s a terabyte per second.
Here is a quick and dirty Google Maps chart showing the areas of the world roughly within range of the North Korean missile tested today if early analysis is correct. Pyongyang and Seattle marked for reference. Everything on the Pyongyang side of the red curve potentially in range.
(Created by constraining my random spot generator to points 6700 km from Pyongyang, apologies for the Mercator projection.)
04:05:58 Retweeted @SethAMandel01:35:43 Surprised it needs to be said, but: the problem w/ the wrestling tweet is that is was stupid & juvenile. Not that it was literal incitement.
03:12:52 Reading – An Open Letter to Rev. Franklin Graham from a “Small Church” Pastor (Rev Peter Olsen) https://t.co/nnHpjXfmuX
03:56:44 Retweeted @mitchellreports03:44:16 Trump quote from speech is: “the fake media tried to stop us from going to the white house, but I’m president and they’re not.”
08:23:17 Just finished “The Doctor Falls”. Excellent. Just excellent. #DoctorWho
17:19:29 Retweeted @dangillmor15:11:12 Is anyone at CNN reflecting today on the consequences of giving Trump unlimited, unedited, free airtime to Trump in 2015-16?
20:42:26 Retweeted @timothymfrye17:26:27 Serious question. What will it take for someone in trump administration to resign in protest? And who might that person be?
18:23:32 Retweeted @normative18:15:31 Kobach knows full well states are legally unable to hand over most of the data he requested. That’s the point.
18:23:38 Retweeted @normative18:17:12 Now they can say they were unable to carry out their voter-fraud snipe hunt & darkly insinuate states are deliberately hiding it. in reply to normative

00:44:41 Retweeted @davepell00:34:41 We can overcome the damage Trump is doing.But I have no idea how we overcome the fact that 60+ million people like what they see.
02:36:22 Retweeted @JenniferJJacobs01:20:16 NEW: Trump administration will put its travel ban on refugees and migrants from 6 countries into effect at 8 p.m. ET tomorrow.

15:46:00 Retweeted @daveweigel14:40:48 If Trump doesn’t watch out, key Republicans may pronounce his comments “disappointing” before donating to his re-elect and voting for him.
17:57:39 Retweeted @chrislhayes17:05:30 Again, ten women came forward to say the president had grabbed/groped/assaulted them. The GOP shrugged and chanted “Lock her up!”
17:58:47 Retweeted @TheRealDratch14:53:25 Every time someone says the president is a child or a toddler all I can think of is I’ve never met a child who’s this much of a dick.
