Not all of the President’s more than 15,400 false and misleading claims are equal. This is a bald-faced lie.
What an insult to every American that he believes we’re gullible enough to believe his blatant lies. His actions speak louder than his empty words, and Trump and the GOP are **STILL** pushing to kill #ACA, including coverage of #PreExistingConditions. nytimes.com/2020/01/13/ups…
President Trump has repeatedly, consistently, and spitefully tried to strip protections for those with #PreExistingConditions. And he has no plan for what comes next. washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/…

1/ Today I asked: what happens if we don't reject the Trump team’s BREATHTAKING argument that the Pres. can't be impeached for quid pro quos or abuses of power to help his re-election if he thinks his re-election is in the national interest? Our democracy wouldn't be the same.
2/ If the Senate endorses this, what would stop the President from illegally freezing millions of taxpayer dollars Congress appropriated to Flint, Mich., to fix its poisoned water system, until Flint’s Mayor agrees to endorse him in Michigan? NOTHING.
3/ What would stop the President from illegally freezing millions Congress appropriated to hurricane-hit Puerto Rico or farmers reeling from severe flooding in Iowa, Missouri & Nebraska, until the Gov. of PR or home state Senators agree to campaign with him. NOTHING.

I just asked Managers about POTUS’ claim Ukraine ultimately got aid, so no harm/no foul. They said:
•Ukrainian allies continued to die facing Russian aggression
•Trump released aid so late that Congress had to re-approve $35M
•Undercut Ukraine’s ability to negotiate w/ Russia
The investigations-for-aid demand caused both harm & foul:
•Delayed aid jeopardized Ukraine’s defense against Russia
•That & withholding a WH meeting nearly compelled Ukraine to meddle in our elections
•Signaled to Russia that our support for Ukraine was not a priority
Trump has NOT treated Ukraine more favorably than his predecessors. Only he:
•Withheld aid for personal gain
•Removed the anti-corruption Ambassador
•Violated the Impoundment Control Act to keep the freeze secret
• Harmed Ukraine’s ability to withstand Russia

Thx to Mr. Dershowitz, Senate Republicans are fundamentally misinformed about what grounds for impeachment the Constitution allows. Abuses of power ARE AT THE CORE of impeachable conduct, whether or not they constitute crimes. /1
No federal criminal laws EVEN EXISTED when the impeachment clause was adopted. Arguing that impeachment requires a violation of a non-existent body of laws is nonsensical. As Hamilton explained, impeachment was created for "the abuse or violation of some public trust."/2
SCOTUS made clear that impeachment is a vital safeguard against presidential “misconduct” or “abuses of office.” Even House Rs’ witness agrees a pres. “can be impeached for a noncriminal act.” And even AG Barr has written non-criminal "abuses of discretion" are impeachable. /3

Democrats can’t count votes in Iowa in a reasonable time but they tell us they can control temperatures, sea levels and storm activity forever if we just hand them trillions of our hard earned dollars. Why the heck would anyone believe them?

How did the Earth cool so much from 1945 to 1976 that we got warnings of catastrophic cooling if rising CO2, humans and fossil fuels cause warming? The answer is there is no correlation between CO2, population, fossil fuel use and temperature.
Besides being lied to for around 100 years that coastal cities would soon disappear, the public has been lied to that we were running out of oil for over 100 years.

Joint Economic Committee Democrats
@JECDems
(1/) At the president’s #SOTU address, we should be prepared for a torrent of false or misleading statements on every issue. Some of his key claims about the economy are in this tweet, which packs a lot of misinformation into less than 250 characters.
(2/) The Washington Post’s Fact Checker has found that Donald Trump has made more than 1,500 false or misleading claims about the economy since he became president. We should expect more of the same at the #SOTU
washingtonpost.com/graphics/polit…
(3/) The president’s primary deception about the economy is to claim that he inherited a “dismal” economy from Barack Obama, and he turned it around. This is false—the economy was already strong when he became president—and it was trending even stronger.

Thread - George Stephanopolous Carries Water for Democrats

1. George Stephanopolous leveraged his War Room and Communications Director experience during Bill Clinton’s first term into his present gig on ABC’s Sunday morning news show, “This Week with George Stephanopolous.”
2. Most people forget that the diminutive Stephanopolous has been a Democrat hack since working on Michael “Tanker” Dukakis’s 1988 dumpster fire (also known as a presidential campaign).
3. And he’s been carrying water for Democrats ever since, especially now during his stint at ABC “News.” The notion that ABC fronts him as a “journalist” is patently absurd.

2/3 Devin Nunes Denounces Reports He Played a Role in Ukraine

The top GOP on the House Intelligence Committee called the reports that he met with a former Ukrainian prosecutor part of a criminal campaign against him by a “totally corrupt” news media. nyti.ms/2XHnwoW
3/3 Nunes dodges questions about allegations he sought dirt on Biden from Ukraine

"I really want to answer all these questions, and I promise you I absolutely will come back on the show and answer these questions," Nunes told Fox News. nbcnews.com/politics/trump… via @NBCNews
Trump is still engaged in another illegal withholding of aid.

Whether this turns out like the Kurdish ethnic cleansing, the Ukraine debacle, or both, remains to be seen:

@powerlineUS Shrinking violets don’t become presidential contenders. Still, even at the highest level of overweening ambition, Elizabeth Warren stands out. She has clawed her way to the top by hook and by crook. One of her favorite techniques is the bald-faced lie.
@powerlineUS As an academic, she is best known for an article claiming that medical crises are largely responsible for personal bankruptcies. Warren’s article has been used (as she no doubt intended) to promote socialized medicine, but it has been thoroughly debunked.
