So Steven Bannon was arrested on a $28 million yacht owned by a Chinese fugitive stuck in a Connecticut swamp. This is B-list movie worthy. https://t.co/BWqdqRmr7e

In @nytimes story on indictment of Bannon: He was arrested in CT on yacht owned by Guo Wengui, Chinese tycoon in NYC said to have ties to China’s spy agency. Bannon took $1 million. Donald Trump Jr. endorsed the “fundraising.” Kobach was on its board. https://t.co/jbHIleNgCJ

Trump’s monument to hate at the border has always been one big con to fan the flames of bigotry and help his buddies get rich. Every available penny of government funding for that wall should be redirected to fight COVID-19. I’ve got a bill for that.https://t.co/tUQ6628q6A

the right wing has become a coven of crooks and con men, so no surprise at all when Bannon was arrested Thursday on a boat (by officials from the U.S. Postal Service, which sounds like an over-the-top plot point in a bad movie) https://t.co/IB9ewXHVNl

McEnany said Trump "does not know" the people involved with Bannon's wall initiative.

In addition to Bannon, Trump actually knows most of its board of directors.

— The New York Times (@nytimes) August 20, 2020

Judge: Manhattan DA can get Trump’s tax records from Mazars. There may be an appeal, which means a little delay, but it’s all over except the shouting. Trump’s taxes will be in the hands of prosecutors either shortly before or after the election. https://t.co/kj5kC89jUm

With the necessary caveat that there's still a lot that we don't know, the fact that Alexey Navalny, the only real leader of the Russian opposition, is allegedly poisoned just as Putin deliberates what to do with the protests in #Belarus sure is a funny coincidence.

The anti-corruption blogger Alexey Navalny has been Vladimir Putin’s only formidable opponent for years. Why try to assassinate him now? There are two possible explanations, @mashagessen writes. https://t.co/jDPWqSXP74

Putin's reign of terror will continue until he is stppped. Dictators do not stop on their own. Yet there are always voices in the free world calling for resets and engagement—appeasement by other names—and they have blood on their hands.

— Garry Kasparov (@Kasparov63) August 20, 2020

Yes, @Twitter followers, I am more emotional here than normal because I am upset about @navalny poisoning and I am dismayed at my government's tepid response. There is good and evil in the world. It's time we get on the side of this divide. https://t.co/cXOwVYw8qG
