This underscores why it’s so hard to cover Trump. Every sentence contains multiple lies, true, but *also* each lie is made for a different reason. Some are premeditated, some a product of dementia, some a product of being raised in a cult, some only semiconscious, some born of fear. He’s a mess.

Quite remarkable for a party leader to say this of a man arrested on suspicion of assault & coercive control. Or should be... Farage: “I am sorry for his personal difficulties that he is going through. No one’s life is ever seamless and I am quite sure he will come out of these before too long."

And often cyclists don’t make themselves known often when coming up from behind pedestrians. Perhaps they don’t realise how silent they are. Even on quiet country roads.

For the second straight day, the White House's taxpayer-funded incitement account is attacking me and oddly mentioning I'm in my 40s (which I know makes me way too old for the president) When they do this it results in a flood of harassing and threatening messages, which of course is the point

This is a press wrangler doing her job — and doing it well.

Aaron, meanwhile, is gutter trash (in his 40s) who spends his days hiding behind his keyboard and making disturbing comments about women doing their jobs. Truly a sick freak!

There's an argument for calling them masked thugs, because that is factually true. There's an argument for calling them pathetic cosplaying loser incels, also true, and laughing at them damages their tough-guy self image and hurts recruitment. There is no argument for calling them protesters.
