@jonathanchait Truman: "The buck stops here." Trump: "No I don't take responsibility at all."

From @24aheaddotcom_
.@KeithELaughlin: Trump never taking responsibility says a lot about him, but more about those like you & those like @jonathanchait. It'd be incredibly easy for those with access to make Trump take responsibility. Chait lacks smarts/patriotism. By enabling him, you *help* Trump

.@ebchristen: have you ever been in a survival situation? That's what #covid19 is. @jonathanchait is like someone in a survival situation who just puts on show but never contributes. He has no ability to/interest in helping force Trump to be better. Enabling him *helps* Trump.

Conservatives think the coronavirus story is a about having the guts to admit it came from China. It's weird. https://t.co/38yEuDqKpP

@jonathanchait Your job appears to be to always seem surprised to learn the obvious things we all already know.

From @24aheaddotcom_
.@tommymiles: in a survival situation, those like @jonathanchait only snipe w/o ever presenting or helping with a solution. He could easily help make Trump better (apply this plan to Covid19). Ask him; when he won't, help destroy his career. https://imgur.com/a/88QcxX8

This does not require inventing new drugs, changing laws, shutting down cities, or passing legislation. It can start immediately.

From @24aheaddotcom_
You enable the wrong people. Ozimek etc only care about RTs & clicks. Challenge him to find smart ppl to develop Socratic questions then ask them of Trump proxies on video. MT @nathanking Brains across America needed MT @ModeledBehavior [worthless cutesy "joke" re Covid19]
24AheadDotCom_'s avatar
From @24aheaddotcom_
.@LucioMM1: a better response would reduce Covid19 deaths. To force Trump to do that, undercut him to his base. To do that, force a Trump proxy to admit on video the flaws in Trump's response. To do that, find smart ppl to develop smart Socratic questions & others to ask them.
24AheadDotCom_'s avatar
From @24aheaddotcom_
.@LucioMM1: the problem people like you have is you enable worthless wannabe 3rd-grade class clowns like @ModeledBehavior. As the last 4+ years should make abundantly clear, they don't have the smarts/deviousness/street smarts/balls/patriotism to hold Trump accountable.

Low-watts like you have been helping Trump with such childish plans for 4+ years. You'll never get tired of being low-watt. RT @thefungramma Let’s give Trump a glass of water, telling him after he’s gulped it down that it’s infected with the virus (like in Erin Brockovich).

From @24aheaddotcom_
.@SavvyLindz: the only people who care what @jonathanchait thinks already dislike Trump; he's never changed a single mind about Trump. If that's your goal, he's worthless "entertainment". If he were serious, he'd do this (on Covid19 or other issues). https://imgur.com/a/0VUS5lZ

Lots of events *should* have finished Trump off politically. But I think this is finally the thing that will. https://t.co/bS2lHn7u2W

From @24aheaddotcom_
.@thomaschattwill: @jonathanchait is just about getting clicks from those who already dislike Trump. In 4+ years he's never once done anything that would force Trump to be better. Demand he finally does something: https://twitter.com/24AheadDotCom_/status/1237220428701188096

24AheadDotCom_'s avatar
From @24aheaddotcom_
.@sunraysunray: Trump is extremely vulnerable to his base. A few smart campaigns & he'd be as popular as Steyer. @jonathanchait has the means to at least help with those. Either he lacks the will or the smarts, which do you think it is?
24AheadDotCom_'s avatar
From @24aheaddotcom_
.@willmenaker: both you & @jonathanchait have access to Cortes/Jennings/etc. Here's how you or Chait could easily undercut Trump to his base. Will you be first? If you won't do this plan, then list what you've done that has been more effective. https://imgur.com/a/Uwxdk62

From @J_Leap
@jonathanchait I certainly would welcome it. No doubt an effective attack against Trump (insofar as anything can be).
24AheadDotCom_'s avatar
From @24aheaddotcom_
.@J_Leap: the effective way to undercut Trump is to call his proxies on the huge flaws in his plans. I pointed out in 2015 how the wall would fail. Trump would be a footnote if @jonathanchait had done that. He has access to Trump proxies, he just lacks smarts & patriotism.
