The first time a president was impeached and acquitted, US citizens were outraged and formally petitioned to abolish the presidency. True story.
February 1868 vs. February 2020. Compare and contrast.
#AbolishThePresidency is radical like 1868!

Not only is Bloomberg inflating the cost of airtime and Facebook impressions at the expense of other candidates but he’s also poaching people away from campaigns and issue advocacy. #PlutocracyNotDemocracy
I’m not sure how our democracy ever recovers from Bloomberg’s candidacy, let alone Trumpist grift and authoritarianism. #PlutocracyNotDemocracy

It’s a Machiavellian ends-justify-the-means campaign. Our common enemy is Trump so let me buy out the election and we’ll consider the effects of that later.

If Trump and Barr succeed at their obvious objective of fully and completely demolishing the rule of law before November will the election even matter?
Let’s assume Trump loses the Electoral College. Now imagine what Trump and Barr will do between November 2020 and January 2021. Now imagine a coronavirus pandemic in the US anytime between now and inauguration 2021.
The media horserace is for selling ads. It has no bearing on our actual futures. It has no ability to confront what actually lies before us. Watch cable news if you have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. Otherwise, it’s not being made for you.

Blankfein: I got obscenely rich crashing the world economy on exotic financial engineering that was snake oil, triggering Occupy Wall Street that laid the foundation for a powerful movement of people still feeling the Bern.
Also Blankfein: Yeah but Russia

Some quick legal and political analysis of the current draft Articles:

Article I

1. The article does not charge a crime—it charges only “abuse of power” as a "high crime and misdemeanors." This would be the first time a President was impeached without a federal crime charged.
As plead, the Article's legal theory lacks a limiting principle. It would essentially criminalize taking any official action for some form of political gain. That is politics--since the founding. Every President could likely be impeached under this standard--even James Madison
2. The Article does not charge completed conduct; it only charges an attempt. This would be the first time that only an attempt was charged in a Presidential impeachment.

3. The Article requires proof of corrupt intent. But @RepJerryNadler and @RepAdamSchiff have excluded

It’s as if those who could do something are all just clueless, incompetent, or compromised! Because no sane person who could do something to stop this would let it continue without trying to fix it. Makes no sense whatsoever. So WTF is really going on?! Any ideas? <thread> 1/
2/ Think about what we actually no, just the facts. Forget supposition or wild ass theories, let’s just consider the facts.

trump’s America and his Republican Party supporters are all climate change deniers. Why? Trying to fix the problem will cost them and their businesses....
3/ a great deal of money; billions of dollars, possibly more. So they deny the science, erase websites, just outright lie about the facts. Yet the fact is the planet is heating up and doing so like no other time in history, while the rain forests in Brazil are on fire. They....

@realDonaldTrump @1100Penn President Trump’s D.C. hotel had so many customers at a networking event for lobbyists last night, that when the hotel's boss went to boast about his “#success” on Twitter, panorama mode was required to show all the patrons.

@realDonaldTrump @1100Penn Russian-funded RT America personalities celebrated “great things” at the Trump Hotel DC. It’s unclear if they were referring to the ease w/which staffers for foreign gov't-funded media can get cash to the U.S. president or something else.
