    Before the results come in, I want to go on record saying I think the caucus model is undemocratic. Not a sufficiently blind ballot.

    This is potentially more dangerous than (falsely) claiming not to believe he did it. Gaslighting is a totalitarian tactic, to be sure, but openly declaring the President is free to manipulate an election is just totalitarianism.

    Powerful myth pushed by gun advocates is that things like stabbings in London wouldn't happen if people had guns. Problem? It's bullshit. US has 24x more guns per 100 people than UK & US still has higher rate of knife murders per capita than UK (on top of gun murders).

    I have also thought this. Tbh, I was sure I had simply missed a constitutional provision that prevents a president removed from office from running again later.

    My best friend in elementary school was from Nigeria. I have no words for how it feels to know that my entire childhood would have been different had the Clintons not then occupied the White House.

    I post a lot of sarcastic tweets but the reality is that it’s taking everything I have not to cry on the metro as I ride home. My home country is no longer a democracy.

    The idea that Murkowski “took the fall” for Roberts is an absurd narrative. He has a seat for life. He could do the right thing. RBG championed LGBT and women’s rights long before it was “safe” and “mainstream”.

    Or that the reported results will be accurate.

    If the president can try to rig an election and face no consequences, we should not assume that his party will accept the results if he loses.

    He’s guilty but we are just not going to do anything about it - that’s a hell of an answer.

    Very odd for Republicans to decry impeachment as "partisan". It is only partisan because they have chosen to defend a corrupt and immoral president. If they were acting as neutral guardians of the constitution they would have found him guilty already. They all know that he is.

    The fact that they know this and think it’s not impeachable is devastating. Call me naive but I had more faith in the United States than this. A dark day.

    If the trial is rigged, there is no aquittal. We need to say this every day through November.

    Lamar Alexander may very well go down in history as the man who threw the match on the gasoline dousing American democracy and rule of law.

    Republicans are 24 hours from legalizing partially foreign-run elections in America. Can anyone here explain why a voter would presume the election of Mr. Trump in November 2020—should it happen—to be legitimate, given we know he has cheated, is cheating, and says he will cheat?

    I don't think people fully grasp the constitutional danger of this moment. If the Senate were to refuse to call relevant witnesses with direct testimony of grave presidential wrongdoing then we can no longer understand impeachment to be a genuine check on executive overreach.
