"You just have to stand and look while someone is killing you. You can't answer because your main partner is concerned about crossing red lines. This is not moral".
Cowardly & infuriating. Kids are being extinguished while they arrogantly lecture about red lines.
Since people seem to have missed this one, unsealed in the Smith filing:
-Trump used a burner phone, routed through a foreign country to contact Michigan house speaker.
-He tried to pressure the speaker in this off book call.
-Speaker McCarthy knew about the burner phone line.
-The phone showed up as “Spam Risk Egypt” on caller ID.
If the President thought his attempt to overturn the election and forge elector documents were legitimate “official acts” why was he using an insecure, foreign routed burner phone for these calls?
How many other sensitive calls did the former President have on this unencrypted line with coconspirators, that could now be used as blackmail against him, by any foreign nation which may have tapped that line?
(And before the reply bots get here, let me remind them: Trump’s own legal team did not dispute the authenticity of *anything* unsealed from the Smith filing)
President Obama in Pittsburgh: "There is absolutely no evidence that this man thinks about anybody but himself. I've said it before. Donald Trump is a 78-year old billionaire who has not stopped whining about his problems since he rode down his golden escalator nine years ago. You've got the tweets in all caps, the ranting and the raving about crazy conspiracy theories, the two hour speeches, word salad, just, you know, it's like Fidel Castro."
Remembering #NYPD Officer Moira Smith, a wife and mom, who died assisting others during the September 11, 2001 terror attacks 23 years ago. The sky was a brilliant, cloudless blue that morning. We lost nearly 3,000 souls in NYC, DC, & PA.

Not familiar with Viktor Orbán, the democracy-killing Hungarian dictator whose approval Trump touted on the debate stage last night?

Of all the issues Russia's opposition leaders could have raised during their first press conference, why did they choose to call for an easing of anti-Russian sanctions? This blunder has only strengthened perceptions of their irrelevance in the fight against Russian imperialism
