So @NikkiHaley speaks out (rightfully) on Trump's Turkey/Syria stance but has nothing to say about Trump inviting China and pressuring Ukraine to turn up dirt on a political opponent? Got it.
More generally, the way that @NikkiHaley, @LindseyGrahamSC, other Republicans speak out about Trump and Turkey but remain silent when Trump invites foreign intervention in our elections and calls the press the "enemy of the people" shows democracy is really not important to them.
Another example of someone who cares more about American foreign policy than American democracy: Mitch McConnell

Early on in the argument, it seems that after Pam Karlan gave an answer there was silence from the bench, and so she joked about reserving the rest of her time for rebuttal. Few could get away with that like Pam could.
And wondering if this is the first time "Hooters" has appeared in a SCOTUS oral argument:
And Pam Karlan pushes back against Chief Justice Roberts' idea to leave this to Congress, and Judge Posner (in 7th Circuit's) argument for dynamic statutory interpretation

When are we going to get the joint oped by 5-7 Republican Senators in @washingtonpost calling out Trump's call for foreign interference in the 2020 elections as an abuse of power? Then the dam could break.
And how do these happen? What role, if any, does a newspaper oped department play in bringing people together for this?

Urging Calm Amidst Hysteria On #Turkey #Syria- 1- Without explicit green-light from #USA it will be a very limited (for show) maneuver; 2- This is being used here in #Turkey for temporary political gain (uniting the opposition with current admin); 3- #Russia also has put limits
Take in the macro picture (Forest instead of the trees): A major offensive by #Turkey is opposed by: #USA #Syria #Russia & #Iran. Only a brief limited muscle-flexing show is allowed. #GeopoliticalTheater
Here it is #Turkey “Still Preparing”. For the last 5 days, 1 minute they say “we are going in shortly, as in the next 24 hrs”, the next minute “we are preparing” or “we are waiting for XYZ ...”. The written on stone “Sep 30” deadline in #Syria expired 9 days and 11 hrs ago.

#WhistleblowerComplaint

Let's dive right in to the
"New Steele Dossier"
@AdamSchiff's #Whistleblower.
The new #Mueller investigation, created to block @POTUS , stall for time and replace @realDonaldTrump in 2020.

Here is what the #FakeNewsMedia won't report
🔸2
@AdamSchiff completely lies at the 3:00 mark.
He says #Trump asks #Ukraine
to "dig up dirt on his political opponent"
This is false, made up, a lie, this was never said.
@POTUS holding funds or military aid for political dirt is nonsense.
🔸3
Full #UkraineTranscripts
If you have not read them, you should.
Then watch shifty @AdamSchiff completely lie and add sentonces to the call that do not exist.
Excellent @politico report on Shiff's B'S

This upcoming Trump presser is going to be *crazy*. Like, a-bat-who-thinks-why-bother-shitting crazy.
Trump is late. I imagine he's asking his people if he can announce that Giuliani will be committing Seppuku and, since Giuliani hasn't actually agreed to it, his lawyers are telling him that Trump can't threaten murder on television.
They sedated him and told him he was competing for the Geography wedge in Trivial Pursuit.

Amid a new House probe into whether Trump is w/holding aid to #Ukraine for its defense v. #Russia in exchange for fake “dirt” on Biden, check out @ViolaGienger’s deep dive.

“President Trump and his personal attorney appear to have increased pressure on the Ukrainian government and its justice system in service of President Trump’s reelection campaign." -- @RepEliotEngel @RepAdamSchiff @RepCummings in letters to WH & State.
.@violagienger notes "It was the widely known & publicly espoused position of the USG, across a half dozen agencies, that the prosecutor’s ouster was among crucial anti-corruption measures the Ukrainian government needed to take to move forward economically and politically."
