Missing from @mehdirhasan 's essay on "Why All The Arguments Against Impeachment Are BS" is any mention of what he wants Trump to be impeached for; his argument for why there's a case for it; and anything that "rebuts and debunks" the counter-arguments. Seems important.
LOL:
For a guy who brands himself as a confrontational, adversarial journalist, @mehdirhasan sure faces some challenges about being challenged himself.
This motivates me to ask: from now on, pls send me @mehdirhasan tweets that you think I should respond to. I'm personally interested in challenging those who declare themselves adversarial but ultimately cater to permissible bounds of dissent within the establishment spectrum.
What @mehdirhasan calls my "weird need to shill for Trump" is code for me challenging the discredited Trump-Russia conspiracy theory. His animosity towards that speaks, I think, to a weird need to shill for the failed media & political elites behind it.

And BTW, if your video is called "Why All The Arguments Against Impeachment Are BS", why not actually address "The Arguments Against Impeachment", and then make a case For Impeachment? Impeachment is serious business, not just something we say to feel good about ourselves.
If someone could ask @mehdirhasan how I’ve “lied about” him. He can’t answer that question honestly, because his claim is false (in other words, he’s lying about me).
Speaking of lying: Mehdi knows that A) he's misrepresenting me -- I simply asked him to make his "case for impeachment" ().

B) He also knows that I've advocated challenging Trump on his ACTUAL crimes, not a conspiracy theory: ()
And this gets to why @mehdirhasan has a problem w/ those of us on the actual left: we challenge Trump based on his actual policies, not within the confines of permissible dissent dictated by the Democratic Party, CNN, and MSNBC.
Since @mehdirhasan blocked me, it's harder to catch his falsehoods. Here he claims I "don't operate in good faith." Compare his description (pic 1) to the actual tweet of mine he claims to be describing (pic 2). When he says I don't operate in good faith, he's projecting.
