“In battle, in forest, at the precipice in the mountains,
On the dark great sea, in the midst of javelins and arrows,
In sleep, in confusion, in the depths of shame,
The good deeds a man has done before defend him.”
R. Oppenheimer translation of the Gita

@SenatorLankford your responses on @FaceTheNation were eloquent. And although we disagree on policy priorities, I wanted to thank you for your intelligent comments.

@thehill Wrong 2 discriminate based on physical attributes & orient. But open season 2 dislike folks 4 their ignorance/bias. Ppl believ’g trump did no wrong deserve shame inflicted. In 2019, there’s only one thing that unites us: just how divided we think we are. https://t.co/NVsIV6HMmT

@Franklin_Graham Agree. But you forgot the biggest one of them all...the president of the USA holding back military aid to an ally fighting a war to pressure them to fabricate lies against POTUS political opponent.

@thehill Quid Pro Quo corroborated.. Washpo - “Taylor recounted that he’d learned that Gordon Sondland, the U.S. ambassador to the European Union, had informed Ukraine that the frozen military aid would be conditioned on launching the ‘investigations’ Trump wanted.”

@RepKenBuck @freedomcaucus @HouseDemocrats You should reflect on the founders....”Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” John Adams

@thehill WaPo..”Speaking off the cuff, Mulvaney told reporters that Trump had intervened to block nearly $400 million in aid in part because he wanted Ukrainian officials to investigate a conspiracy theory that Ukraine was involved in election interference in 2016”

@seanhannity WSJ “Mr. Trump acknowledges that he asked Ukraine’s new President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate Joe Biden as part of his effort to clean up corruption”. Whistleblower irrelevant. POTUS ADMITS ask’g foreign natl 4 dirt on political opponent. Quid pro quo given pending aid?

Key line: “But as former federal prosecutor Renato Mariotti argued in Politico Magazine, if the allegations are true, ‘it is a kind of corrupt conduct that the criminal system is not equipped to handle.’” https://t.co/209w95CHPr

@AP Iran should be worried. Trump, who really doesn’t want a war, may feel the best chance to remove the “Ukraine-gate” headline would be to force it underneath a war headline.

@thehill Everyone should want to see the transcript. If it’s innocuous, let’s move on. If not, he should resign.

@JohnJHarwood Symptomatic of having a leader who’s inarticulate and a polemicist. One wonders how much stress Trumps falsehoods and mixed messages impact his loyal base. Not even Fox News can keep the lid on this massive amount of cognitive dissonance.
