.@SenMikeLee Democracy is the objective, the foundation of our country, the invention of our Founding Fathers. We don’t have “rank” democracy; we have Constitutional checks & balances against tyranny.
The Framers did not anticipate a Senate complicit with a tyrant in training.
.@JohnCornyn You complain Pres. Biden “emphasized the humane treatment of immigrants regardless of their legal status”?! How Trumpian.
It is an American value to treat all people humanely, Senator.

And if you believe a 13-year-old should be charged as an adult, you must not understand a lack of prefrontal cortex development prevents kids from making rational decisions and limits impulse control. Allowing a child to handle a loaded gun unsupervised is a recipe for disaster.
8/ Buchanan praised Putin for stamping out western evil like easy divorce and homosexuality. https://t.co/P52uWJsPLf
The Russia - Republican love affair has been conducted in open view.
Why, then, are people surprised?
10/ What is happening is that Putin is leading the way toward the kind of society the Republicans want: An oligarchy in which government is privately owned and privately controlled by a few wealthy men.
Sometimes I think we're better off now that the GOP isn't trying to hide it.
