THREAD 1.Soros has long been hate figure for Putinites & nationalists like Trump. #NeverTrumper Louise Mensch pushed the same antisemitic trope. Watch at 4:18 Louise on FOX. “We were lined up to join the Euro & we were bounced out of it by George Soros”

2. Brexiteers like Trump repeatedly blame Soros a wealthy Jew for their problems. #NeverTrump Mensch at 1:12: “Soros--As a Greek American he should look at the disaster in Greece.” Louise knows Soros is NOT Greek but a Jewish Hungarian Holocaust survivor video.foxbusiness.com/v/484438137100…
3. 3rd time #NeverTrumper Louise Mensch takes a dig at Soros on FoxNews. At 1:18 “The pound was shorted by George Soros” Louise promulgated the Brexiteer's antisemitic myth of “the Soros web” while reinforcing it on Trump's station FoxNews here in the US.

I called this.
More of these #NeverTrump 'allies' will defect to Trump.
Rick Wilson, Molly Mckew, Liz Mair, Louise Mensch, Erick Erickson, Tom Nichols are not liberal allies. They are working to keep GOP in power & therefore Trump. They share same ideological goals. #VoteBlue

For all you people that keep posting @ me that "the enemy of my enemy is my friend." This is why I say No. #NeverTrump republicans are extreme conservatives with extreme goals. They believe Trump is an "anti abortion liberal masquerading as a conservative." He's proved them wrong
#NeverTrump republicans like Rick Wilson believe that Rand Paul is a "strong voice for limited gov't & criminal justice reform." Rand Paul is against the Civil Rights act of 1964 barring discrimination. This is what Rick thinks gives him a strong voice for justice reform. #Bigots
That Bret Stephens column is the usual mix of bad faith double standards, slippery rhetoric, and calculated omissions
But there IS something clarifying in the meant-to-be startling revelation that, in this case, Bret Stephens Approves of Trump, which is that "a man is being accused of sexual assault" is the point at which #nevertrump becomes #actuallytrump
This, however, is the most stunning rhetorical move: three women who have are testifying have become--without the benefit of "corroboration"--an accumulation of hearsay.
I struggle for an interpretation that isn't "Women can't witness without someone vouching for them"

How do you feel about this direct attack on Prof Ford and “Lock her up” chants directed at her, @JeffFlake @SenatorCollins @lisamurkowski @Sen_JoeManchin @SenatorHeitkamp?
2/ Trump mocked and misrepresented Ford, attributed her charges to “evil” people. The crowd reportedly chanted “Lock her up.”
This morning, @JeffFlake just called his conduct “appalling.”
A “yes” vote would also be appalling.

3/ Can a President’s conduct disqualify a judicial nominee?
Ordinarily no. The usual remedy would be recusal.
But this isn’t an ordinary case.
Kavanaugh bears responsibility for Trump’s reprehensible conduct last night by his own conspiratorial partisan attack on his accusers.

Thread: A Theory About That Week-long FBI Investigation
1. There has been a LOT of consternation among Republican stalwart voters after a week-long FBI investigation into the (scurrilous) allegations against Judge Kavanaugh was announced. today

2. And of course, we have been deluged with TV interviews of jubilant Democrats and their media enablers since them too. Republican voters detect the standard Republican senate leadership capitulation to Democrat political pressure for the umpteenth time.
3. I’m going to postulate an alternative theory because I find conventional wisdom to be suspicious – and frequently wrong!
Out of everything that’s happened during these past few weeks, THIS is what angers (and terrifies) me the most.

The Brett Kavanaugh confirmation process has exposed the Democrats for the threat to the American constitutional republic they are.
(Surprising too, as the Democrats have been telling us for two years that TRUMP would be the one to destroy our democracy. Innumerable articles have been written about what Trump “may” do, while @TheDemocrats are right now, actually DOING it).
A thread on Judge #Kavanaugh & perjury.
I’m an attorney & have followed the Kavanaugh nomination closely. I want to discuss why I think it's important to use the word perjury to discuss some of #Kavanaugh's dishonesty. Continued ⤵

salon.com/2018/09/14/bre…
A major problem with news coverage of Kavanaugh's deception is that the news relies on experts for its stories & that many of the legal experts including #NeverTrump conservatives & anti-trump progressives know #Kavanaugh to be a thoughtful lawyer. (Cartoon via @tomtomorrow)
A good example of this came from 1 of my favorite podcasts, @NSLpodcast. Hosts are 2 attorneys—1conservative/1progressive—both critical of Trump. Both set aside evidence of #Kavanaugh's dishonesty bc they believe him to be honest. They know him personally
To liberals who think #NeverTrump Republicans are allies. Here is Erick Erickson an early #NeverTrumper spreading ugly propaganda on @BetoORourke. #NeverTrumpers Erickson, Mensch, Rick Wilson, Mair have always backed Cruz who's just a Trump sycophant. They still do. #VoteBeto
#NeverTrumpers back Ted Cruz who has ties to racist extremist David Horowitz. Horowitz has hosted Bannon, Milo, Farage, Sessions, Geert Wilders. Here's a link to Ted's 2013 speech from Horowitz' TX retreat.👇#NeverTrumpers are not liberal allies

#NeverTrumpers oppose Trump because they think he is a "pro abortion liberal masquerading as a conservative." See Rick Wilson & Erickson's quotes below. #NeverTrumpers are pro NRA, anti choice, anti immigrant, anti ACA. Mensch wanted Cruz appointed to SCOTUS. #VoteBeto
There's a chance that Republicans cooperating on a Trump impeachment is just #NeverTrump fantasy. But there's also a chance the polls keep slipping and the GOP decides they're better off trying to run Pence in 2020.
The question is, what's the baseline below which he can't fall?

Trump fans will assess it high, but introspection is a lousy substitute for data.
However, the same warning applies to #NeverTrump folks.

However, with the caveat that this is highly speculative and pretty unlikely: what happens if the GOP goes to Trump and says "We're getting ready to impeach you. You wanna resign, or you want us to take you out?"
I suspect Trump holds on until the bitter end.

Thread: What to do with the Political Class?
1. We have witnessed three amazing spectacles from the political class over the past week: the Uniparty wake (aka the McCain funeral), the Democrat tantrums during the Kavanaugh hearings, and Obama’s ranting against @POTUS.
1. We have witnessed three amazing spectacles from the political class over the past week: the Uniparty wake (aka the McCain funeral), the Democrat tantrums during the Kavanaugh hearings, and Obama’s ranting against @POTUS.
2. Let’s examine each one briefly before answering the question posed.
3. The legacy media gave wall-to-wall coverage of McCain’s funeral over several days – before, during, and after. It was a Trump hate-fest from start to finish, as orchestrated from the grave by McCain himself. Many have commented and written about the spectacle.
Venting that the president is an idiot and throwing a link to a Times piece on Bob Woodward's new anti-Trump book, Fear, is hardly a profile in courage reason.com/blog/2018/09/0…
Few outlets have been more stridently #NeverTrump than The New York Times, a fair stand-in for the legacy media which also has nothing but contempt for Donald Trump and sympathy for Hillary Clinton (it was her time!) and a broad Democratic agenda of more-active government.
The anonymous op-ed can only be read through that light and thus discounted.
Darn I missed this... I have SO many questions...
1. Who is Rick going to work to elect in the FL GOV's race. Servile racist Trump GOP sycophant DeSantis or Democrat Gillum. If it's DeSantis then EVERYTHING Rick and his #NeverTrump posse has touted for two years is utter BS.

2. In 2005 Rick worked on virulent bigot and legal architect of Trumps anti immigrant voter laws. Rick Wilson endorsed Kobach's voter ID law proposals in 2011. Is Rick still a fan of "strong conservatives" aka: racists Kris Kobach and Sam Brownback?
3. Rick Wilson has used the word "illegals" for years to describe undocumented immigrants . Is Rick Wilson aware that illegals is a racist and derogatory term and that when he uses this Trumpian term it perpetuates negative stereotypes against Latinos?
@GOP The “verdict of democracy” can never be authoritarianism, whether fascism-lite, statist autocracy or some variant, w/ blends of kakistocracy & kleptocracy.
GOP is responsible for the rise of autocracy (allowing Trump to be nominated) & complicit in it’s continuance (passivity).

Thread: The Weekly Standard Belongs in the Dumpster
1. Are you growing as tired as I am of seeing the likes of Bill Kristol and Steven Hayes from the “neoconservative” Weekly Standard bashing @POTUS on Tw@tter or the boob tube?

2. I ran across an article that provides some insight into the beginnings of their #NeverTrump ways. Here are some excerpts:
3. “On July 24, 2016, just days before Strzok helped launch a counterintelligence probe into the Trump campaign, Kristol gave Strzok and the Obama Justice Department a big assist from the anti-Trump Right by posting a flawed and questionably-sourced article.”

Open to suggestions to fill out the verses :)
1. Remember how those #TeamPatriot #NeverTrump-ers Louise Mensch and Rick Wilson assured us Bolton was a solid? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
2. Just this last March Rick Wilson was defending Bolton. According to Rick Bolton is fine as long as he is working with a "rational president."
3. Louise Mensch enthusiastically endorsed Bolton on her NewsCorp platform HeatStreet. Like Rebekah Mercer Louise wanted "heavyweight" Bolton to be named Secretary of State.
"Who told you to have faith in McConnell?" Rick Wilson that's who.
Wake up Wilson fanboys/girls. He opposes Trump, not his vile policies or the GOP congress. He's long been part of the machine that has put the politicians at the core of this atrocity into office. #NeverTrump 🙄

"While Obama's a** is on fire why wouldn't we distract ourselves by turning Mitch McConnell into greatest monster?" asks RW political strategist Rick Wilson in 2013. Y'all can thank Rick who helped create the Mitch monster to enact the corrupt GOP's hateful policies. #NeverTrump
Nov 5. 2014 GOP takes back the Senate. "McConnell is this close to Maximum trolling achievement." cheers Rick Wilson who helped unleash McConnell one of the biggest GOP "trolls' to inflict terrible harm on the American people. #NeverTrump

Laughter takes down Power.

It exposes the absurd positions, pokes fun of authority, and creates real dialogue.
Laughing at hypocrisy and stupidity make Liberals lose control.

It is good that there are Republicans and others in the small coalition of #NeverTrump conservatives. But criticizing Trump and/or leaving the Republican Party is insufficient. Never Trumpers and others must do much more to repent. My new .@salon

salon.com/2018/07/30/rep…
Many anti-Trump Republicans are concerned about Trump's fascism and other rule breaking. But they are also worried about how history will remember them now. All Republicans and conservatives must be held accountable for how they helped to birth Trumpism's evil. This took decades.
In essence, the #NeverTrump Republicans who now stand against Trump and his movement watered the roots of the tree for years and are now aghast at how it gobbles up innocent passers-by like a monster in a children’s fairytale.
