Bruce Hornsby just entreated me to "listen to the tears roll down [his] face as she turns to go." I'm in favor of being sensitive to others' pain, but I'm afraid my ears aren't powerful enough for this. #mandolins#rain#hornsby#iftearsarerollingaretheyasloudasamandolin
Via wife, Rep. Roy lays out the Trumpist ideology perfectly: Americans should not educate themselves via a free press or judge their elected officials, but rather keep their head securely in the sand. #CohenHearing#ChipRoy#Publicgood
Human beings: That's an interesting color.
Rep. Jordan: Is it black or white? HB: I don't think it's either, maybe it's--
RJ: So it's white!
HB: No, I didn't say that . . .
RJ: So it's black!
HB: Not exactly . . .
RJ: Ah ha! I've caught you!
Rep. Gibbs can't believe we're having this hearing while DT is in Hanoi, trying "to make the world a safer place." In other words, he's baffled how Congress could waste time neglecting its duty of worshipping the President.
With no hint of irony, Rep. Gosar asks Cohen: "How can anyone trust this pathological person, he doesn't know fact from fiction?" #CohenHearing#emperorsnewclothes#firststone
Finally, Rep. Lynch addresses the glass house stone throwers. Rep. Jordan rebuffs by mentioning, again, all the people DT has fired to keep everything covered up.
Rep. Hice, on performative definitions: if you lie, you are a liar--a definition so precise as to exclude no human ever. It's this performative definition of criminality that's the shame of the criminal justice system. #MichaelCohenTestimony#LiarInChief#CriminalJusticeReform
Rep. Meadows, re: Trump's racism, expresses the inviobility of anecdotal evidence: I have one person here who doesn't think the Earth is a sphere, so how could it be!
Mark Green wonders how we could take seriously someone who likes so often, so openly, someone who is so self serving. Rep. Green likes liars who "win." #MichaelCohenTestimony
Given his early testimony, Jim Jordan doesn't understand how Cohen could stay with DT for more than 10 days, while he and the Republican party have been ignoring those same behaviors for 2 years. #MichaelCohen#willfulignorance
