Katy Tur: 'Sleep when you're dead'

[bigtree]

Katy Tur @KatyTurNBC 16m
I don’t know what you plan on doing between 4 and 5am but I plan on delivering what could be game changing numbers out of PA on @msnbc with @AymanM.

Sleep when you’re dead and join us.

1. I've got nowhere else to be.

[TeamPooka]

2. Winning is coming!

[Delarage]

3. Kick the darkness

Till it bleeds daylight

[greyl]

4. Dischordant(to me) thing for a news broadcaster to say during a pandemic, but accurate(to me) nt

[bigtree]

5. it's dark

...but it's also classic American hyperbole made in a wholly separate context.

6. I am typically up until somewhere between 12 midnight and 2 a.m. in California....

I think I will try to catch Katy Tur. Of all the people at MSNBC I think she would have the most satisfaction in announcing Trump’s demise and demolishment.

During the 2016 campaign she was assigned to cover him, and he ended up singling her out, “Little Katy Tur, there she is folks, little Katy Tur.” Then that unforgettable night when he called the freaking mob on her. Seriously, he did, so much so that the Secret Service collected her after the event, escorted her to her car, and saw her safely away.

13. Mahalo for the backstory on that,

Hekate.. I remembered he harassed her in some way... so yeah this would be divine karmic justice.

[Hugin]

16. Of course, the incitement to violence was then normalized by Campaign Chair Kellyanne Conway.

"According to Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway, '-Trump- didn't mean it in any malicious way', and he did not want anyone to attack or harass her."

My, my... How things don't change.

[Cha]

21. KAC is a complicit ASSHOLE..

TY, Hugin

[Hugin]

33. ...

YVW, Cha.

[Hekate]

19. Some of it I saw in real time, despite not actively following Trump's progress...

He was just appalling to this young woman. He tried to call his mob on her, and I saw that. And she’s gutsy — like her parents before her.

When Katy published her post-election book “Unbelievable” she just put it all together — I hadn’t known the SS scooped her up, nor that her mother was frantically trying to phone her, leaving messages pleading for her to get the hell out of there.

Godsdamn I hate Trump. I hope he rots.

[Cha]

23. trump is Truly Evil & he has all these

brainwashed Idiots praying for him.. how did that work out?

Mahalo for the details from her book.. So glad she's doing the report from Philly tonight. I hope it's excellent news for Democracy.. and historical from Katy!

I just saw Colbert's monologue on trump's WH LIES & it was very emotional, Brilliant, and funny at the end.

7. Eastern, Central or what?

It's 1am here so I'll probably be sleeping.

[bigtree]

8. sorry, she's talking Eastern

[BumRushDaShow]

9. Eastern

Philly updated their count on their elections site at 1:21 am EST and has been providing updates about every 3.5 hours, so the next one would be between 4 - 5 am (and we still had a good-sized chunk of mail-ins still being worked on where Biden has been grabbing 80 - 85% of them).

[Catherine Vincent]

12. Thanks guys

I can't believe I'm going to bed another night and no winner.

Oh well.

[BumRushDaShow]

14. But...

Why am *I*, the robin who gets up between 4 - 4:30, STILL UP????????!!!!!

[Maru Kitteh]

10. well damn. now I have to set a timer.

Okay then.

[Cha]

11. Rt.. that's funny. It's 5 hours

earlier here though. So no problem.

I hope the news is Good!

[BumRushDaShow]

15. WHY AM I STILL UP????

Am considering getting a cup of coffee and just staying up. I can't forget the sick feeling I had on November 8, 2016, laying in the bed with the radio on just incredulous about what had happened... and eventually listening to the incoherent rambling speech of a madman.

[Catherine Vincent]

17. Ha!

I would do that myself but I work in a few hours. Luckily I work from home so I'll wake up when I wake up.

[BumRushDaShow]

18. Thank goodness I am retired (it's been almost 4 years now)

and I did used to work from home a couple days a week too, so that made a difference (didn't have to get up earlier for a commute).

[Cha]

20. You're Very Curious.. like the rest of us!

I stayed up all Election night & Wednesday was Weird.. more refreshed today.

I know.. all the PTSD we have on so many levels is still lurking from 2016.. some from 2000, too.. bush Gore bush Gore.

This is excruciating but not nearly as painful.. so far anyway. not counting on anything until it gets Done.

I just watched Colbert's monologue and feel so much better.. it was brilliant and funny at the end!

22. I had 2 hours of sleep election night

but I did get a good 7 hours last night, so that helped.

I just know the dread that I felt in 2016 watching PA, after 30 years, flip. And yes the past 4 years have definitely caused some PTSD - especially with this damn pandemic, which has officially made it a PITA just to the store or post office.

I am determined to watch my state flip BACK - "live" - if possible!

[Cha]

25. Oh I hope so much Pennsylvania

Goes Blue!💙 for you & the whole World!

[malaise]

24. I am so glad I had my sleep

Nothing changed while I slept. Up and ready!

[Cha]

26. Good on you, malaise!

I haven't eaten yet and it's 11:15pm.. too busy on the phone and posting.

So I better go do that now.. that will refresh me!

💙

[malaise]

27. Going to start the coffee and have a banana

[Cha]

30. Sounds good.. I love bananas

I made avocado toast.

[malaise]

31. Finished the last avocado yesterday

and won't be going to market this morning. I love avocados and start every morning with a banana.

[BumRushDaShow]

28. LOL

There have been some vote changes but you did thankfully miss the 2:00 am crazy tweet storm, so there's that.

ETA - and the latest -
