If there's anything I've learned in the last 48 hours, it's that the media (and Twitter, and Facebook) really did know all along what to do about Donald Trump, and yes, they did know how to call him a liar -- they just didn't want to. But better late than never, considering the fate of the world was on the line!

Heckuva sentence from @peterbakernyt @maggieNYT: "A presidency born in a lie about Barack Obama’s birthplace appeared on the edge of ending in a lie about his own faltering bid for re-election." https://t.co/eLVPgBaxql

This is about as chilling as it gets. Shep Smith had to abruptly cut Trump off in order to prevent the American people from hearing blatant lies which attack our democracy. #TrumpIsLosing pic.twitter.com/5C5GWVFqhA

.@jaketapper on Trump’s briefing:
“Feast of falsehoods”
“Lie after lie, after lie, after lie”
"It’s ugly. It’s frankly pathetic”
Trump “is lying about the election”
Trump “is smearing the American people”
“Frankly, watching him flail like this is just pathetic” pic.twitter.com/CRwPrKrytQ— Peter Wade (@brooklynmutt) November 6, 2020
In just over 24 hours Trump has racked up NINE warnings for misinformation and lies on his Twitter feed.

Facebook has removed a huge group where some members called for 'civil war' and violence over unsubstantiated claims about voter fraud and a rigged US election.
Viral disinformation causing real-world harm is the worst fear of many in coming days!

The worst thing an abuser does is make you afraid of your own voice. Of joy. Of victory. THEY DON'T GET TO TAKE THIS AWAY FROM US TODAY.

Some in the media may call it “defeat” & go back to calling states “red,” but they are not “red.” They are transforming states. They are voter suppression states. The very closeness of the race lets us know that in just a few years we will see the transformation of this country. pic.twitter.com/QbHGfP0OD7
