Both times, GOP Presidents. Coincidence? Or clear and present danger?*It has taken 49 years, almost to the day, but on Tuesday we finally heard congressional testimony about presidential misconduct whose shock value might rival John Dean’s, @MaxBoot writes: https://t.co/xDM6Okx3VI

Bullies do the same thing. People understand that better than “stochastic terrorism.” They also understand the simple sarcasm of “just kidding!”For years, Trump's defenders often dismissed his violent rhetoric as just a guy who was just joking around. The joke was that the "joking" was actually part of his strategy to incite violence but be able to plausibly deny that was his intent. #stochasticterrorism @markfollman. https://t.co/9cjwnOm3gm

What’s cute here is taking “originalism” so seriously you think it matters. Read the collected opinions of an originalist like Scalia. I defy you to find any consistency. Originalism doesn’t matter; it never did. It’s MAGA for the legal crowd.It is also worth emphasizing that no sitting Justice who has endorsed the “independent state legislature” theory/claim has provided a minimally sufficient originalist/textualist argument FOR it. https://t.co/nLjT1UF6ha

It’s never the crime. It’s always the cover-up.The irony of anonymous Secret Service member(s) is that they/he helped launch more rounds of investigation, resulting instead in exposing Ornato and undermining the agency. The Service doesn't know it yet, but they will need to come clean. Ornato, not Hutchinson, is the problem. https://t.co/AxTEK3UdIY
