Happy to have Trump fans defend him pardoning corrupt Congressmen and staffers. Sure, I’ll read your deranged explanation. — PolitiTweet.org

Matt Fuller @MEPFuller

Trump’s whole thing is accusing other people of the things he’s guilty of. It’s one of the reasons the word “gaslighting” has been a staple of the last four years. But Trump’s promise to “drain the swamp” was so empty and so in contrast to his corruption it’s infuriating. — PolitiTweet.org

In a sea of horrible and corrupt actions, I really think this one stands out. — PolitiTweet.org

Matt Fuller @MEPFuller

Two Congressman who thought they were above the law, who used their positions for self-enrichment. These are two men who deserve no sympathy, no clemency, and yet they get it because they were quick to support Donald Trump. Just obvious corruption and abuse of his power. — PolitiTweet.org

Honestly didn’t see the obviously corrupt thing happening. Can’t *believe* I didn’t see the obviously corrupt thing happening. — PolitiTweet.org

The corruption is so blatant and so outrageous. And Republicans could not care less. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Collins and Duncan Hunter — the first two Republicans in Congress who endorsed Trump. Collins went down for insider trading and Hunter was convicted of using campaign funds as his own personal piggy bank. Extremely drain the swamp. — PolitiTweet.org

Financial disclosures are awful and they don’t give an accurate picture of the finances of ultra-wealthy politicians. I wrote this four years ago and it holds up. https://t.co/2r0nLc7JC2 — PolitiTweet.org

@JaredHuffman @MattGlassman312 Well, this is where the Constitutional hurdle might be beneficial. If you make it so that it’s *basically* an agreement to raise pay for the next term based on those conditions, it removes some of the immediate political pressure and paycheck games. — PolitiTweet.org

Matt Fuller @MEPFuller

@MattGlassman312 The way to get it through is some twist on No Budget, No Pay. Members get performance bonuses for no shutdowns, no continuing resolutions, individual appropriations bills, etc. Now to just figure out how to make it Constitutional... — PolitiTweet.org

Luv 2 make policy the same way the Home Shopping Network decides on pricing that immersion blender as three easy payments of $19.99. — PolitiTweet.org

Matt Fuller @MEPFuller

A neat thing to remember is that the coronavirus relief portion of this bill is roughly $900 billion not because that’s all we need, but because some Republicans didn’t like the idea of passing a bill that was more than a trillion. Totally arbitrary. Not based on anything. — PolitiTweet.org

Matt Fuller @MEPFuller

@ProcessParty @garlicksauce And this is where that “most people” comes into play. It’s almost every omnibus that there’s some controversial provision tucked in there that we learn about only after. — PolitiTweet.org

@koos_h Yes, I kind of do like the people making laws being able to read laws. — PolitiTweet.org

Matt Fuller @MEPFuller

Phaseouts are generally good policy, but they usually mean lawmakers don’t intend on extending those provisions. A congressional paradox is that you try to make bad policy (sequestration, cliffs, etc.), so that lawmakers have to make good policy (extend unemployment benefits). — PolitiTweet.org

To be clear, reading a bill is extremely tedious and not very fruitful. Most people — most people! — are better off reading a summary than “Strike section 188(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 through section 188(e) and insert as follows:” — PolitiTweet.org

In contrast, the Venn diagram between people who say “Stop the steal!” and “Read the bill!” is basically one circle, with two little sections reserved for Kevin McCarthy for just the former and Justin Amash for just the latter. — PolitiTweet.org

Matt Fuller @MEPFuller

What’s the Venn diagram between people who scream “Read the bill!” and people who actually read the bills? I’m guessing it’s basically two distinct circles with a sliver of crossover reserved for, like, Justin Amash. — PolitiTweet.org
