FACT CHECK: WE ARE

Fact Checkers: Do not need to "turn up the volume" unless you are having a dance party.

All of the DC policy wonks on my timeline, both Republican and Democrat, are scornful of Trump's performance. So he's probably winning.

Another novel Trump econo-historical theory: Without Iraqi oil (ie if we'd taken it--all of it?) ISIS wouldn't have founded and been funded.

Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Guess that settles it.

TAKE THE OIL: Trump doubling down on his plunder theory of warfare.

Taking oil = violation of international law.

It's a hard out at half past, right?

If Clinton addresses DNC hack, it could be embarrassing. So it looks like she'll talk about destroying ISIS, not who hacked her party.

Trump is not wrong that 10 year olds are generally very great at computers compared to the rest of us.

The fight against #ISIS needs to go beyond the military, Eric Rosand says. We need a nat’l prevention network: brook.gs/2d1OG7a

Perhaps Donald Trump's son is a 400-pound cyber criminal. I don't know, but this is what people are saying.

New Trump cyber theory: Obama lost control of internet, so hacks from Russia (or China or who knows) are his fault. Will Clinton address?

Let's be clear: ISIS is NOT a player on the cyberwar field. Propaganda on social media? Yes. But that's not cyberwarefare.

So this is a really subtle objection to the ICANN story?

400 pounds? What? Did I have a stroke?

Sitting on their bed that weighs 400lbs? What the hell...

There is NO QUESTION that the hack came from Russia.

I’m pretty sure ICE didn’t endorse Trump… it’s a federal agency, which can’t endorse candidates. #debatenight

Birtherism to Russia. If Clinton is going go for a choke hold, now is the time.

by Adam Allington via twitter 9/27/2016 2:09:55 AM
So far, 17 people in my group say Hillary is winning; 3 say Trump.

Tax question weakened him, birther question destroyed him. #DebateNight

Trump record on treatment of renters of color vs. Clinton's treatment of welfare recipients of color. Who has more failure, did more harm?

"just one of those things" -- racial discrim in real estate. Trump settled, no admission of guilt, others sued too. Does that excuse wash?

by mhartman via twitter 9/27/2016 2:07:05 AM
OMG, the only thing worse than a "I have a black friend" answer is "I let them into my private club."
