I think Biden should take Trump up on this offer—if Trump also testifies.
So they both give closed door depositions, with both released at the same time.

Trump's defense is that he was justified in his actions because Biden behaved corruptly. I think it would blow up Trump's defense. It's a stupid, baseless defense. That would be clear.

I think the trade would be worth it. Call Trump, Bolton, McGahn.

Besides, Trump would never do it.

Biden says, "Okay, let's both testify. If you're innocent, get up there and tell it to the country."

Trump is too cowardly anyway.

Kinda hard for Trump to insist on Biden but not take the stand himself, right?
Trump is not capable of telling the truth.

Can you all just imagine @BarryBerke cross examining him?
Berke would make mince pie out of him.

Trump would perjure himself left and right.

Answering this question⤵️

It never resolves. The divide never fully goes away.
We push forward; reactionaries push back.

What I leaned from history and political psychologists is that the fight for democracy is a struggle that never really ends. . .

1/
Different political scientists describe the phenomena differently.

Some talk about the authoritarian personality (Adorno, etc.)

Some talk about reactionaries.

Hofstadter talks about the “paranoid style in American politics.”

2/
Hofstadter surveyed American history and concluded that a paranoid fringe has always existed on the far ends of the spectrum.

They often obtain power beyond their numbers.

Stenner and Haidt conclude that about a third of the population across cultures . . .

(Thread) Pelosi is playing a long game.

Watching Pelosi and McConnell maneuver is like watching a board game when we can't see the board.

OK, so. Last week, Pelosi said she wanted to see McConnell's resolution⤵️before sending the Articles to the Senate.
1/ In this interview, Pelosi said that on Thurs., McConnell signed a Resolution to dismiss the case.
abcnews.go.com/Politics/mccon…
On Friday she said she’s ready to move forward.

Wait, what? She learned McConnell wants to dismiss and she's moving forward???
2/ She warned that if the Senate conducts a sham trial, they’ll pay the price later.

She also accused McConnell of engaging in a coverup in signing that Resolution.

Those are fighting words.

How can a genuine bookworm 🤓name just one?

Best book for understanding Trump-Russia, and how we got here: @timothydsnyder, Road to Unfreedom.

Snyder is fluent in multiple language (I think 11) and uses primary sources in original languages.

1/
@TimothyDSnyder Best book for understanding the current dangers to our democracy, and how to save democracy.

How Democracies Die, @dziblatt and Levitsky.

As a followup, watch this interview with Levitsky:

2/
@TimothyDSnyder @dziblatt Best classic treatise for understanding the political psychology behind how we got here: Hofstadter's Paranoid Style in American Politics.

2. Throughout this thread, I will refer to the 3 as Plug, CB(college boy), and Native (bc hes a Nashville native)

2a. I hate Nashville men but I ain’t know this yet.

3. This is one of the first times I had a roster, so I was sloppy.

Ok. Ready?

This is my #Republicans are so full of shit thread. Long, but I hope you read!

Lie #1 - The Dems want to undo the election.
Reality: #Trump has broken every ethical/legal norm. He is a clear and present danger to the national security of US and needs to be removed.

- - >
Lie #2 - The timing is meant to influence the 2020 election.
Reality: The WH is obstructing to make #impeachment as drawn out as possible. Also, the GOP doesn't care AT ALL about Russian influence in 2016.

Lie #3 - The Whistleblower needs to come forward and testify.
- - >
Reality: GOP established current whistleblower protections and for good reason. They can, but NEVER have to testify. It's like a person seeing a fire, calling it in, and then the fire dept refusing to put it out until they speak to the caller.

Why aren't Americans taking about the foreign influence in the US government that continues to send our men and woman to fight immoral wars?

#Trump when he campaigned for president, before he decided to let Adelson fund his campain!

Adelson was one of the biggest donors to Trumps presidential campain. Adelsons company saved 670 million dollars from the massive republican tax break. Adelson did not support the Iran deal & wanted the US embassy moved to Jerusalem.

Adelson has a direct line to #potus!

Adelson has private in-person meetings & phone conversations about once a month with #Trump!

Adelson used his access to move the embassy in Israel to Jerusalem and cut aid to Palestinians.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
