Trump’s lawyers argued that anything a president did to win re-election was “in the public interest...

yeah I’m sure that’s NOT taken out of context. Or put in a terrible context.

You know what? They’re really not relevant anymore in swaying public opinion.

At this point we should post what’s trending on Twitter because that’s where the action is in 2020.

Whether one wants to accept that or not.

Trending on Twitter now (at least here) is:

#OprahMeetYang

Enough said.

Should I break down and get a Twitter account? I told myself I would never tweet, but if it’s the future of media...

President Trump's team argued that all politicians view their own reelections as being in the public interest, because THEY are best equipped to work the problems of their districts, states, and the nation.

Therefore, Trump's team alleged, actions taken that have both national and personal election benefits, are seen by politicians as beneficial to the nation because their own elections are necessarily beneficial to the nation.

Yeah that jumped out at me too. I don't know the quote or paragraph it came from but I am pretty sure that was not the argument being made.

Twitter is Fake News.

Many people never even had an account.
Who would pollute your head with mindless rants.

Expert dialog is where it is at like Tucker Carlson.

“Anything”

Including of course crimes.

These people claim to be journalists. They are exploding with rage putting up woeful lies.
