@jaketapper @DukeStJournal Meh. I'd probably call him a pathological liar and then move on. At least he didn't dispute my citizenship or tell people I have mental problems or question my faith or spread rumors about my marriage or send goons to my favorite restaurant offering waiters $$$ for dirt on me. — PolitiTweet.org

I don't know Greg Pence but if some dude incited a mob to lynch my brother I'd want to beat his ass, and if that dude was the president yeah I'd settle for impeaching him. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Alberta @TimAlberta

This takes gold in the false equivalence olympics. "Kevin and Steve backed the president's dangerous campaign of mass deception and said nothing to counter his lawless claim that the Vice President could unilaterally revise the election result...and Liz voted to impeach him!" — PolitiTweet.org

I set the over/under on GOP yays at 10 last week via @thedispatch podcast. Bunch of conversations since then about what that number would be on a secret ballot. My guess: 50-60. What would that number be if Obama incited a mob of black militants to storm the Capitol? Unanimous. — PolitiTweet.org

@JordanAckerMI @dustindwyer @twizner @Timodc @justinamash @RepMeijer Indeed... the thing is, tons of districts *used to* behave that same way. I think what Tim was asking is, why has MI-03 clung to those behaviors in an era when hundreds of once-purplish areas have radicalized? For that I give Amash outsized credit. — PolitiTweet.org

The Johnson comparison held up for much of the past 4 years. But this president can no longer be compared to any of his predecessors. He will stand alone in the annals of history, shadowed by eternal infamy. Donald J. Trump, the only American president to be impeached twice. — PolitiTweet.org

@Timodc Besides the quality beer and Dutch sensibilities... I give considerable credit to @justinamash, who by years of operating in a non-partisan manner conditioned many of his constituents to view governing as a responsibility that transcends binary choices. — PolitiTweet.org

Here's another thing about Peter Meijer -- he's from the Meijer family. He has money. He has a resume. He has opportunities elsewhere. He doesn't NEED the job in Congress. Imagine if everyone operated that way, instead of voting to protect their flank and preserve their career. — PolitiTweet.org

I named a chapter of the book thusly... not because of what it taught us about the past, but because of what it promised us about the future. https://t.co/L2vOvlfa0O https://t.co/pD0c8wxCFv — PolitiTweet.org

"American Carnage" wasn't the original title of my book about Trump's GOP. It was a quote from John Boehner's chief of staff, Mike Sommers, describing the rise of the Tea Party, efforts to appease the far right, and the Speaker's ouster: "We fed the beast that ate us." Indeed. — PolitiTweet.org

And yes: Trump’s rhetoric the last 5 years has stirred constant threats of violence against immigrants, journalists, Democratic lawmakers and others. Republicans are not the only ones being terrorized here. All the more reason for Americans to band together and say never again. — PolitiTweet.org

This is why, as I’ve written/said before, Republicans should have asserted themselves and held Trump accountable from Day One. Their silence in the face of his manifest abuses contributed to the formation of a cult that now threatens their lives. Never should have come to this. — PolitiTweet.org
