Also an overall great guy off the pitch by all accounts.

This is anti-football. I can't watch a whole season of this.

I mean, I’m not trying to absolve the guy, but…is this him? It sure didn’t seem like him on the night of thanksgiving, so who else has the login? Then again, if it’s not him, I’d hope, like, Susie Wiles would have stepped in to shut it down hours ago.

Not sure it changes anyone’s mind, but this is the context: bsky.app/profile/notd...

There is an epidemic of Arsenal bars in Brooklyn and yet I still ran into a bunch of Arsenal supporters at a neutral pub for the NLD.

I think they thought they could steamroll the story, but it does seem like they've sufficiently pissed off the press (and in particular, the Pentagon press corps, who always were extremely professional and smart when I was at OATSD(PA)) enough to keep this story alive.

I hate to share a screenshot from the other site, but I do think it's relevant that this guy has 2.3M followers and is basically turning into Radio Télévision Libre des Mille Collines. I also saw tweets from Loomer basically arguing for banning Islam. These people are outright lunatics.

Follows a similar trend from the NYT too. For instance, why did that “Trump is old and tired” piece run out of the blue this week, when most of the events in question happened weeks, if not months, ago.

What’s extra wild is that the WH Rapid Response account quote tweeted it and said it was “one of the most important messages ever released by President Trump,” which makes me wonder if Miller has access to both accounts, or if there’s just a groyper on the WH digital team’s Thanksgiving night shift

Exactly. Pure Miller (or Vance, if we’re being honest). I also saw that the WH Rapid Response Twitter account retweeted it and said it was “one of the most important messages ever released by President Trump” which, to be frank, makes me question who is running the account on Thanksgiving at 11:45

To be frank, this reads like a Stephen Miller ragepost (which is what I suspect is what this is). The president does not have the legal ability to do what he's saying here, as far as I know, specifically "denaturalizing" (online white supremacist term) anyone he wants.

Yeah, it’s miller. Trump doesn’t know the word “denaturalize” because he’s not online like that. bsky.app/profile/atru...

This reads like Stephen Miller, not Trump, to me. I’ve suspected he’s had a login to his Twitter account for a while now.

It would not surprise me if that was the case. I've sure seen a LOT of conservative influencers using that exact nomenclature on Twitter over the past few months which is...not something I'd call a coincidence.

I would also posit that conspiracies about USAID (and NED, and other groups that protect civil society orgs abroad, especially in authoritarian contexts) did not originate in the US and instead are downstream of propaganda being pumped out of Russia and other dictatorships, for obvious reasons

It's about modeling virtuous behavior for people who look up to them, so that those people go out and do the same things! This has always been a thing, and every good boss I've ever had has done the same thing.
