@GuntherEagleman Why? I drive frequently on roads of countries the languages of which I don't speak (at least not fluently) and of which I am not a citizen. Doesn't seem to be a problem for them or me.

@Acyn @svdate Absolutely thigh-slapping hilarious. We need presidents who can bring a chuckle or guffaw to our remembrance of our dead warriors. What could be more appropriate?

@ThePatriotOasis Incompetent

@Acyn But lots & lots of immigrants.
(BTW, are you sure Werner von Braun's arrival in the US conformed to all applicable immigration laws? Wouldn't be surprised to find the coterie of captured Nazi scientists that anchored our space program were given special immigration processing).

@BasedMikeLee Errant nonsense. There's no doubt Russia attempted to influence presidential election in Mr Trump's favor. Some room for debate over whether more because of Russia animus toward Ms Clinton or enthusiasm for destruction Trump would bring to US. But no question it happened.

@liz_churchill10 It is beginning to look like a popular two-term presidency by a man who was intelligent, articulate, and who possessed a well-ordered personality is highly unusual on a going forward basis. That doesn't seem like "fraud", but it does seem "distant" from where we are now.

@luluHru Very much doubt Trump DOJ would rekindle investigations of Gaetz's conduct. The Epstein, what would a Special Counsel "investigate"? The two known perps are either dead or convicted. Are there limitations issues? Are there unprosecuted federal offenses or are they local?

[Jonathan Benner @BennerJonathan]

@TONYxTWO There's no "client list". It was just one of many fantastical fairy tales designed to titillate gullible, reasoning-deficient types into frenzied delusions.

@MilaLovesJoe It would only be a big story if one thought it was true. Most people are sensible enough to understand that the shooter is either nuts or trying to appear to be. If there were the slightest credibility to it, the feds would be all over it.

@bruntworkwear Chocolate proof?

[Jonathan Benner @BennerJonathan]

@spongeworthy2 @exitplanetdvst @RadioFreeTom @neeratanden Yes. And so did Iranians.What wasn't known was if we would do it. The Constitution has a procedure for going to war against another country. There are ways a president can act & seek Congressional approval retrospectively in exigent cases. But there's no evidence this was case.

[Jonathan Benner @BennerJonathan]

@RadioFreeTom They're turning our military into a dancing bear, to be paraded out for DT's entertainment and an extension of his domestic political agenda. It debases proud traditions & culture that ensure strength of military when called to defend against foreign enemies.

@Lagertha333 @WHLeavitt Rule of Law Republicans. A nearly extinct breed.

[Jonathan Benner @BennerJonathan]

@WHLeavitt "conservative" judges are as likely to block illegal acts by a sitting president as are "activist" judges.We don't "arrest" judges for their decisions. We appeal.That's how it works in this Republic.This may be news to middle schoolers who haven't taken basic civics courses.

[Jonathan Benner @BennerJonathan]

@TimRunsHisMouth I thought Epstein was jailed during the first Trump administration.

[Jonathan Benner @BennerJonathan]

@TheEXECUTlONER_ No, of course not. The Congress has a significant role in foreign policy formulation, budgeting, oversight.

Silly question.

[Jonathan Benner @BennerJonathan]

@TRUMP_ARMY_ If that's happening, it's because the benefits are going to US citizens abroad who are entitled to the benefits.

[Jonathan Benner @BennerJonathan]

@JackPosobiec The people being deported, to the extent they were correctly identified as being illegal entrants (many are not) were not eligible for and did not receive benefits from so-called "entitlement" programs.

Try again.

[Jonathan Benner @BennerJonathan]

@bennyjohnson I assume this is satire.

@JoeyMannarinoUS Noted. Saved. We'll get back to you on this.
