So, the bird found this account in violation. It's the most vile I've seen there. Is it gone? No. Still there. They helpfully tell me that it has 370 tweets today. So WTF does in violation mean to them?
Still dangerous.

@ZonaPellucida HRC got pilloried for her "basket of deplorables" comment, but I think she mostly had it right.
One thing that bothers me most is idea that there are wonderful people who are just misled enough to still be supporting Trump and what he stands for, and that it's our fault for disparaging them. Take Alabama as example. Maybe it's possible a "good person" is convinced child molestation charges against Moore are false. But that AND hatred of Muslims AND all immigrants AND support for white supremacists, neonazis and antisemites? I reject entirely the idea those can still be "good people."
Beau Willimon:
"Don't fall into despair over the #TaxScamBill. Let it motivate you. We fought the bans. We fought for the ACA. We fought to win big victories in the VA & NJ elections. We must keep fighting: in Alabama, the 2018 midterms & beyond.
Stay strong. โ"
@ZonaPellucida If Trump knew that Flynn had committed a crime (lying to a federal agent) and he tried to stop the investigation, he's arguably obstructed justice. He's effectively admitted to that here. (I don't do criminal law anymore, but this is fairly straightforward)
@ZonaPellucida You're absolutely right - it would all come down to his knowledge and state of mind. I don't know that one tweet is sufficient to convict (or impeach) and he could argue that it was just inartfully worded and that he didn't mean that. But, if you read it literally, he does seem to admit knowing about the criminal offense at the time of firing Flynn, which is a big deal if he tried to make the investigation go away later on.
@ZonaPellucida No, but this guy is:
