Twitter talks, we listen

McCarthy is asked about when Trump said, “I would like you to do us a favor though.”

MCCARTHY: You just added another word.

PELLEY: No, it’s in the transcript.

MCCARTHY: He said-“I’d like you to do a favor though”?

PELLEY: Yes, it’s in the White House transcript. pic.twitter.com/Sc8Lsv25xX

The brilliance of the Sunday morning defense of Trump carried on into the evening.

This twitter thread is independent grounds for impeachment, evidence of consciousness of guilt, active obstruction of justice, and just plain old unhinged & terrifying. pic.twitter.com/T5RLcECUMb

It is quite the revelation.

Trump won with 46.1%. Romney lost with 47.2%. The difference is third party increase and decline in non-white vote.Take Wisc. Romney lost by 7%.Trump won by 1%. Romney got more votes. Unless you think 46.1% will win again, there is no need for D’s to convert a single Trump voter. https://t.co/03kGjDT71x

Worth keeping in mind.

If Trump made a “perfect call” to Zelensky and nobody did anything wrong then nobody — including Barr — would feel “surprised and angry” about being lumped in with Giuliani. https://t.co/QFVKmUWU6G

And because I can't get enough of this:

The worst, laziest argument about the whistleblower complaint is that it’s inaccurate. It’s been shown to be quite accurate — by the White House. https://t.co/Moe6RFVQQV

Still looking for how low "low" is:

I have visited nations ravaged by civil war. @realDonaldTrump I have never imagined such a quote to be repeated by a President. This is beyond repugnant. https://t.co/a5Bae7bP7g

Excuses are running out:

Best argument for Trump remains that, much like a child reared by wolves, the Trump and his family had no acculturation or experience following the law. And yet, having gotten a pass on his first collusion, three years into his presidency, that excuse is getting pretty thin.

Well, that and after age 18, you're responsible yourself for your own actions.
