What does it say about strength of Democrats' current impeachment case that informed anti-Trumpers now pleading for more time, more investigations? https://t.co/NTUrogHWY4

Real wages rising, more at bottom than at top, Inflation low. Marginal workers (ex-cons, disabled) being drawn into employment mainstream. Has any liberal economic commentator admitted that Trump's term is delivering the economy liberals have long wanted? https://t.co/Rwig4xm1nL

Why is it 0% for Hunter Biden? His testimony seems very relevant — if what he did was horribly corrupt then what Trump demanded (an investigation) was in national interest, not his "personal, political interest." So call him & let him dispel stench of influence-peddling (or not) https://t.co/fyLOeSFwoc

It's an indication of the clumsiness of the poll-tested "bribery" charge that Rep. Karen Bass-who's on the Judiciary committee-says the problem is Trump "attempting to bribe" Zelensky. [2:05 in] Isn't it that supposedly Trump solicited a bribe for himself? https://t.co/OXt1ES3ere

Often when people on various forms of welfare are pushed to reconnect with the mainstream economy, they discover they have talents that other people and employers value. (See @JasonDeParle 's American Dream.) This seems a minimal effort to do the pushing. https://t.co/X6Eo2GCLCT

Food stamp work requirements are notoriously weak. This seems like an effort to actually enforce those weak work requirements. 3 months part-time over a period of 3 years doesn't seem like a lot to ask in the current economy. (I felt differently in 2009. It's not 2009 anymore.) https://t.co/3UFF6QPwVs

Another way to put it: Employee stages "quiet revolt" against his boss, winds up losing job. Stop the presses.

"Conspiracy theory" seems to be the Resistance phrase of the week, used with opprobrium. Don't conspiracy theories sometimes turn out to be right? Wasn't Watergate a conspiracy theory? I heard a CRAZY theory once that the '51 Giants stole the Dodgers signs https://t.co/YPgkgR8fyo

Perspective: It wasn't just Breitbart that picked up on Lukens' counter-Trump tweeting. A day later the @nytimes times used him as prime example in story titled "Some U.S. Diplomats Stage Quiet Revolt Amid Tensions With Trump." https://t.co/zGJ6AJ5I3y https://t.co/InFbGxFLPf
