Trump should get credit for seemingly (maybe temporarily) ending the mass illegal migration crisis of 2018-2019 without Congress' help–but it's a tenuous success, depending on the Mexican government actions described in this excellent report. https://t.co/JAF4hv6fNh

This shouldn't be an inquiry into whether a politician has "good motives" or pure intentions. We have Hollywood Democrats for that.

Well put. If it was justifiable to have Biden investigated it doesn't become impeachable because Trump also wants to get reelected. Even if he mainly wants to get reelected. https://t.co/e71Q3GAmAA

If the loose-borders crowd would just say "everyone fleeing poverty and lower coffee prices should be allowed into the US" and try to change the law, we could have an honest debate about it. Instead they pretend they're refugees and overwhelm the system with its own due process. https://t.co/GhnnMYvtj7

Point #1 seems sufficient: "1) Trump's concerns about 2016 and the Bidens were legitimate presidential interests." Biden's conflict of interest was comically obvious and worth investigating. https://t.co/3bTmbQAVAA

Admittedly the "green" part does not seem to fit easily into @TuckerCarlson's formulation of making it "easier for 30 year olds to get married & have kids."

Does this hold up? A CA restaurant can hire writers to write more than 35 articles a year? So if @buzzfeed–I know this sounds wacky–suddenly said it would become, like, a *cookware* company it could start hiring CA freelancers again? … Hold on … https://t.co/aFYazCnjPU https://t.co/AQWRhAkOre

More signs of the potential immigration control/green coalition. Don't quite see why Trump doesn't at least pick one or two issues like this to move in that direction. [See last paragraph here https://t.co/78tEUT05jy] https://t.co/bNMz7RqRAb

Seems like the "news" search in particular insists on showing me what it thinks I *should* see instead of letting me use it to find what I'm looking for (as it used to).
