@MerriamWebster …things about which people are aficionados.

@MSNBC But I bet he was “Best Dressed One at the Mug Shots.”

@CREWcrew @RBReich So, apparently state courts have purview on this issue regarding that state’s offices, but in what court would one litigate this question for the office of President of the United States? Plaintiff’s federal district court, with appeals to the circuit and US Supreme Court?

@BillKristol Whoever said democracy was cheap?

@mtgreenee You say “God created only two genders.” Is God one of them?

[Robert Lee Rouse Jr. @RobIsSpike]

@thelaceylondon Is that you over there?

[Robert Lee Rouse Jr. @RobIsSpike]

@NatalieJHarp @RudyGiuliani Actually, God didn’t give us the right to free speech, the constitution did. It also authorized a means to establish lawful and proper restraints on it, eg no “fire” in a theater. Just sayin’.

@RBReich Which is a concrete example of why the filibuster needs to go. The Senate doesn’t need any more techniques to be dysfunctional.

@DanRather Yes, we can, and BTW, it’s not “living in fear”—it’s “living in smart” (which is often derided in a variety of circumstances; it didn’t used to need defending).

@BeschlossDC @MSNBC Maybe just give it a pass, until it doesn’t matter any more. Can we focus on big ideas?

[Robert Lee Rouse Jr. @RobIsSpike]

@BillKristol Google definition of “confirmation bias.”

[Robert Lee Rouse Jr. @RobIsSpike]

@BeschlossDC ...hadn’t noticed.

@gtconway3d @realDonaldTrump But what about the Einstein joke I told you yesterday? If you go fast enough, you can still hear it.

[Robert Lee Rouse Jr. @RobIsSpike]

@BeschlossDC Cleverness aside, this administration may become one of the most researched and written-about in recent history. Presidential libraries contain the administration’s records needed to do so. Put them where lots of people can get at them.

@chrislhayes @PreetBharara I’m no fan , but this many frivolous lawsuits are uniquely Pres Trump’s signature strategy.

@themotleyfool Lucky; sometimes not.

@bpmehlman @pewresearch Serious question: does news media choice determine views or do views determine media choice?

@benstracy And 10 days ago, they weren’t even wearing masks 🤷🏼‍♂️.
