@TulsiGabbardRVQ The infrastructure legislation and the chips and science legislation are two of his major successes. But what he didn't do was also a big win--he didn't violate his oath of office and try to overturn an election. What the hell is wrong with you? Do you give Trump a pass on that?

[yatesm @yatesm]

@SandhyaABC7 90s again in Santa Rosa tomorrow? It was cooler today. I thought that was over. Bummer.

@RobReiner61509 @AdamKinzinger They may have laughed at the beginning, but I doubt they find it funny any more. I certainly don't. They're probably really worried about the deep and long term damage caused by this admistration.

[yatesm @yatesm]

@davidaxelrod It's worse than a scandal. It puts the country at risk in countless ways.

[yatesm @yatesm]

@KevSchmid1 @MikeNellis They're not. We should demand principles from elected officials and all candidates for public office. But that ship has already sailed for MAGA Republicans. I don't want Democrats to follow them into the sewer.

@cr_clark @davidaxelrod @realDonaldTrump @POTUS How exactly was the Biden admistration "weaponized" against Trump? What "documents" are you referring to? I don't recall Biden ever calling on the AG prosecute anybody. Trump, on the other hand, HAS demanded prosecute against his prosecute enemies.

[yatesm @yatesm]

@CrazyFenaker @davidaxelrod @POTUS That's true, but politically it doesn't matter what he really meant. It's a sound bite and it's out there forever. Remember this: "I voted for it before I voted against it." That pretty much sunk Kerry's campaign.

[yatesm @yatesm]

@davidaxelrod God forbid!

[yatesm @yatesm]

@davidaxelrod @POTUS Yep, he's always the opportunist.

[yatesm @yatesm]

@smerconish You're presenting a false choice: support the war, or support Iran's acquisition of nukes. That is absurd. The question is not whether Iran should be prevented from getting nuclear weapons, it's whether Trump's war is the best way to do that. Get it?

[yatesm @yatesm]

@smerconish You're begging the question. The issue isn't whether Iran should be prevented from getting nukes. Of course it should. The issue whether this war was necessary for that purpose. And, if there were other ways, then the enourmous costs are certainly not worth it.

[yatesm @yatesm]

@ScottJenningsKY I used to respect you as a principled conservative, or so I thought. You went from condemning Trump for violating his oath of office, which he did, to gaslighting the public and defending or excusing everything Trump does. Why? Money? Politics? How do you live with yourself?

[yatesm @yatesm]

@AdamKinzinger @gtconway3d @Franklin_Graham @robertjeffress @Paula_White He says it was intended to portray him as a doctor. Never mind the robes and the radiating light, or that posting a picture of himself as a doctor is almost as stupid.

[yatesm @yatesm]

@smerconish Wow, searing insight, Michael. Tehran was the intended target of Trump's unhinged Truth Social post. Really? No shit? Of course, Michael! But so what? You're missing the point, as usual. It's not about sanity, it's about character.

[yatesm @yatesm]

@smerconish OK, so he's not "crazy," according to you and Mahr. He's just an intentional liar. That's great Michael. Good work. He's also a master conman, by the way, and both you and Mahr were perfect marks.

[yatesm @yatesm]

@smerconish Support for the war should not turn on our view of Trump? Nonsense! Of course it should! If we have to do this, which I doubt, the quality of the commander in chief matters! How can we support this debacle when our leader is fundamentally untrustworthy?!

[yatesm @yatesm]

@davidaxelrod @PamBondi @KristiNoem @POTUS It doesn't really matter. One corrupt and incompetent amateur goes out, and a worse one comes in. The only difference is that the new person might be better at lying, cheating, stealing, and helping Trump get away with his gross abuses of power.

[yatesm @yatesm]

@gtconway3d Yes, that and because it's not his house. It's our house. He should have done this through congress.

[yatesm @yatesm]

@SandhyaABC7 @LiveDoppler7 We got a good downpour here in Santa Rosa. More than I expected. I love it!
