@otlassie @Ronxyz00 @gtconway3d He can be both. Pull up one of the well-known interviews he did 15-20 years ago. He was just as narcissistic then, but he was speaking in complex sentences, with dependent clauses and a good vocabulary, without losing his train of thought. Contrast that to the present.

@OccupyDemocrats Please don't misdirect people. There isn't going to be an impeachment--it would require a majority vote in the House and 2/3 vote in the Senate. A much more realistic goal is to retake the House, elect at least 2-3 more Dem senators, and expand the Court.

@Gideon_6ix @MikeSington Journalism 101: If one person says it's raining and another says it's not, your job is not to report both sides. It's to stick your head out the f'ing window and report the truth.

@thejackhopkins @POTUS The sweetest moment was when he gave Paul Whelan his own flag pin. Not as a publicity stunt in front of the cameras, but in a private, quiet gesture. It brings tears to my eyes again just remembering it.

Pls use self-care! Any breathing exercise will help, but my favorite is to breathe in for 4 sec, hold for 3 sec, breathe out for 7 sec. Easy to remember because 4+3=7. The long, controlled exhale is even more important than the inhale at resetting the fight/flight panic response.

@markmobility @AuntiePinky @BrianKempGA Here in Georgia, we've known that from the beginning. What ethical person refuses to recuse himself from overseeing *his own election*? Plus he & cronies are helping themselves stay in power by choosing hackable touchscreen voting machines at 3x the cost of optical scanners.

Democrats have *proven* that they can deliver--if we give them the majorities they need to get things done. Great thread.

What have we done? With the American Rescue Plan, the Infrastructure bill, and the climate/drug bill, in 2 years Dems have invested 2 1/2 to 3 times as much as the ENTIRE New Deal AND Interstate Highway System COMBINED. 1/7

@thejackhopkins People's anxiety and frustration are understandable. But whatever you're feeling, you can choose how--or even whether--to share it and with whom. There are many bots and trolls intentionally feeding apathy and demoralization to depress the vote. It's important not to help them.

@BWJones @SusanCarver19 Trump really seems to believe that if you don't test for the virus and don't talk about it, it doesn't exist. Young toddlers have a better grasp of object permanence than he does.

@henrynathanmia @steve_vladeck Clinton wasn't convicted. No president ever has been. You might be remembering that his impeachment and trial spanned two Congressional terms.

@sandibachom @maddow Yes. Read this thread, which explains that the memo is an adroit, lawyerly move that shields his staff. If/when someone is indicted, it will focus the firestorm on him. And he can handle it.
@RanchHand0351 @capitolhunters No, speaking as someone who went to law school with Merrick, it’s a very lawyerly move. It’s also a double dog dare, a “Come at ME, bros,” to shield his staff:

@7brdgesroad @InFNsanity @ValkyrieTurner @votecumby @xIpsoFacto @dianaprince1984 @boscobaby @mea_mark @SethAbramson @realDonaldTrump His hand gesture to Putin at the G20 dinner clearly said, "You and me, you and me, buddy. We're solid." Watch the video. It was sickening.

Wow! Another beautiful thread by @Teri_Kanefield summarizing the Impeachment Report and the answers to the Republican talking points.

@PrezLives2022 @arie_verboon I thought I heard that, if you sign a cooperation agreement, it includes having to testify wherever you're asked to (in related cases). If that's correct, then yes, they'd have to talk to all of the various prosecutors.

@kellymoffatt4 @Kivrin1978 @nickdraper @MarkJKremer Yes, blueberries handpicked from a local grower. The cake is baked with a sugar crust, so I don't glaze it. But if we're really being decadent, I've been known to serve it warm with a scoop of ice cream with caramel topping.

@bridget_joy_ The best advice I've heard is to think of it like the bus. If the bus isn't going to your exact destination you don't just stay home. You take the bus to the closest to your destination then figure it out from there
