@MattHaneySF But abortion IS deeply rooted in history. The founding fathers adopted British Common Law on abortion (legal in the first 2 trimesters, a misdemeanor after). It was legal and prevalent during the Roman Empire and in Ancient Greece. Even the GOP was for it until 1979.

@Ferrydogmother@SteveSchmidtSES Yes, and then Chris Rock should have demanded a refund for After Earth, and it would have been a perfect moment all around.
@realThomDurbin @Aviatrixone @realDonaldTrump@POTUS Is that why:
1) the transcript of the Ukr call was put on a secret server rather than distributed to the State Dept (the norm)? 2) Trump had his personal lawyer instead of his administration lead this scheme? 3) he ignored US intel that said he was pursuing conspiracy theories?
@realThomDurbin @Aviatrixone @POTUS Yes, an impartial Senate would recognize that by not removing the pres, future presidents can fully not cooperate with investigations, & can ask foreign countries to help them in their elections (& execute US policy to incentivize these countries to help). It’s called precedent.
@realThomDurbin @EveningTeaBen @resistasista76@MonicaLewinsky@GOP@realDonaldTrump@POTUS What you just stated was an opinion. Whether it’s impeachable is not up to us: Illegal, yes (GAO, campaign laws); Impeachable: yes (House); Removal: up to the Senate. As for obstruction, Trump committed more than in any previous Congressional investigation of a presidential admin
@realThomDurbin @EveningTeaBen @resistasista76@MonicaLewinsky@GOP@realDonaldTrump@POTUS Biden could be completely corrupt & even have shot JFK. It doesn’t matter. The GOP-run Senate & Justice Dept had over 4 years to investigate this matter, & didn’t/haven’t, & Trump didn’t ask. By your logic, the Dems could call GW Bush & Barbara Bush & Elton John as witnesses
@realThomDurbin @EveningTeaBen @resistasista76@MonicaLewinsky@GOP@realDonaldTrump@POTUS You keep calling it a charade, yet 2 GOP senators (including Rubio) have said the president was guilty of what he’s accused of. 2 other GOP senators wanted to hear from more witnesses. Then non-partisan GAO on whom Congress relies said withholding the aid as he did was illegal.
@realThomDurbin @Aviatrixone @realDonaldTrump Everything doesn’t have to be so black & white & armageddon & yo’ mama. Trump asked a foreign leader (instead of the FBI) to investigate Biden, withheld aid (which is illegal—see GAO report), & the Dems stopped him from that election interference. It’s all good 👍🏼✨
@realThomDurbin @Aviatrixone Most of what you’ve expressed is opinion & vitriol. You misrepresented Sondland earlier who was quoting Trump, & you attributed those words to Sondland. You ignored a GOP senator I quoted who said Trump did what he’s being accused of, & no more witnesses are needed to prove it.
@realThomDurbin @Aviatrixone “This tweet has been deleted.” That’s what you sent me.
Everything in the whistleblower’s report has been corroborated. Attacking/outing the messenger is retribution, not a counter-argument, and not even legal. Justice Roberts prevented Rand Paul twice from outing him/her.
@realThomDurbin @EveningTeaBen @resistasista76@MonicaLewinsky@GOP@realDonaldTrump@POTUS "I don't need to hear any more evidence to decide that the president did what he's charged with doing," Alexander told NPR's Steve Inskeep on Friday. "So if you've got eight witnesses saying that you left the scene of an accident, you don't need nine."
@realThomDurbin @EveningTeaBen @resistasista76@MonicaLewinsky@GOP@realDonaldTrump@POTUS That’s a little disingenuous. He stated under oath that that’s what Trump told him when Sondland called him. Of course, this was right after Trump became aware of the whistleblower report. Let’s keep it in context :).
@realThomDurbin @EveningTeaBen @resistasista76@MonicaLewinsky@GOP@realDonaldTrump@POTUS The GOP’s witness list was: Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, Adam Schiff, and the whistleblower, all of which are outside of the scope of the inquiry. The GOP-controlled Senate & Dept of Justice, as well as the FBI can & could have investigated the Bidens easily at any time, but haven’t.
