The craven anti-Americanism of @marcorubio @HawleyMO @LeaderMcConnell et al has long-term consequences. By arguing John Quincy Adams didn't understand the Constitution, & that impeachment after holding office - which applies to ALL impeachable, from cabinet members to jurists..1
...any Senate-confirmed official who swears to abide by the constitution can engage in ANY anti-constitutional act, can violate their oath with impunity at any time in office, immediately resign if caught, then run for elected office later. Sure, the #GQP will immediately flip..2
...to the opposite argument in those instances where they find it convenient, but anyone being subjected to impeachment could insist that they have no authority over them, impeachment is unconstitutional, and try even to take it to court, citing @marcorubio @HawleyMO and all.../3

Dems are correct in not calling witnesses, which is obvious when you think this through. First, the case has been made. Any GOPr or delusional Trump fan who doesnt accept that - or care - never will. The country knows/sees what happened. 2nd, if dems called witnesses.../1
...it will add next to nothing. Statements are being admitted into the record from some witnesses. Third, & most important, the GQP is a monstrosity that only cares about power. Once the witness door opens, they'll turn the trial into a farce, calling anyone and everyone.../2
...to muddy up the case. Since their entire case is whataboutism, they will try to call Obama, Hillary Clinton, Holder, Waters, and on and on. If the presiding officer holds the testimony irrelevant before allowing it, there will be weeks of rage about cover-ups, etc. The.../3

I truly believed - even as late as Tuesday - the @SenateGOP would treat this impeachment trial with the gravity and respect it deserves. A sitting president attacked our democracy. People died. The GOP could act like adults, and still go pure partisan & retain credibility.../1
...if they grew up, listened, recognized this is serious, recognize most of this country was horrified by the attack on our democracy by Trump and the terrorists, but still say “while trumps falsehoods about the election and calls to action were wrong, they didn’t amount to.../2
...incitement.” That would be dishonest, but at least it would acknowledge what happened here was important and, if found to have incited, would have constituted an impeachable act. But no, they are just saying any president can launch a months long attack on an election..../2

When MAGA waves flags with Trump's name, declares they will die for him, and accept every lie he says as truth, we are dealing with a deluded cult of personality. Here is a list of leaders treated exactly this same way. See if you detect the similarities:.../1
...
Russia: Stalin
Cambodia: Pol Pot
China: Mao Tse Tung
France: Philippe Petain (Vichy leader)
Germany: Hitler
Haiti: François Duvalier
Iran: Ruhollah Khomeini
Iraq: Saddam Hussein
Italy: Mussolini
N Korea: Kim Jong Il, Kim Jong Un
Phillipines: Ferdinand Marcos.../2
...
Romania: Nicolae Ceaușescu
Syria: Hafez al-Assad
Venezuela: Hugo Chávez

All of these leaders had huge support by people who worshiped them, just like Trump. The appeal to toxic nationalism, the demonization of the left & minority groups, the spread of disinformation.../3

.@NancyMace, GQP Congresswoman, either never listened to @AOC Instagram video or lied when she implied AOC lied. And like all GQPr's these days, she'll never apologize. AOC specifically said the person who charged into her office was with Capitol Police. However, she said.../1
...she feared violent insurrectionists were coming & when the cop charged into her office yelling "Where is she? Where is she?" she reasonably thought, after enduring years of death threat because of GOP demonization of her to rile up the thugs who @NancyMace calls patriot.../2
...that criminal insurrectionists had come for her. Scum like @NancyMace caused those death threats with her lies and fundamental inhumanity and evil. But even when scum like Nancy KNOW they have done this, as all of us do, they wont stop. They wont stop until AOC is dead.../3

I read the @smartmatic lawsuit. In 30 yrs as a journalist, Ive never seen anything like it. This likely cant be settled. The journalistic malice & incompetence shown by @FoxNews was off the charts. *Basic* information I'd never believe they'd invented.../1
smartmatic.com/uploads/Smartm…
...is throughout the entire thing. Why kind of "news" organization just *Makes. Stuff. Up.* like this. There are basic things I always assumed were true - like what contracts Smartmatic had in the election - because why the hell would Fox just make them up? *But they did.*.../2
...the losses @smartmatic faces are literally in the billions. They quantify it. And the lies are undeniable. Such as: Fox claimed @smartmatic played a role in flipping votes in every close state. *They only had one place their equipment was used in 2020, in L.A. County*.../3
