Short's one of the key Koch-allied aides who conspicuously failed to get even a minimal Trump immigration agenda thru Congress. Hard for Trump to send a stronger signal that he hasn't learned the lesson of that failure–and maybe that he doesn't care–than letting him get rehired https://t.co/UbQHJKuKF4

Here's a list of Breitbart articles detailing Short's ineffective (at best) efforts on immigration when he was Trump's top legislative aide. It's as if UCLA rehired Steve Alford https://t.co/jcoTkOADm9 https://t.co/4GmGqQOZxl

But Kochs played a role in the failure of Congress to enact Trump's immigration priorities (which are not theirs)–which in turn arguably hurt GOPs in the last election, no? https://t.co/RLJ3UxVDPr

Wait: "Mocking the *concept*…of hate crimes" [E.A.] isn't allowed on Facebook? So no blog posts like this one from Andrew Sullivan (https://t.co/TmYGdTbyYf) even if wholly abstract? Can we mock the concept of Facebook's censorship model? https://t.co/om9DG9jifk #Trending
