@LTGHRMcMaster Except the Supreme Court gave him total immunity for any official acts and he will be surrounded by yes men who swear an oath of loyalty to him instead of the constitution. There will be no guardrails and it is beyond naive to suggest otherwise.

@LTGHRMcMaster Luckily, if you just elect the other person that doesn’t want to do all those things you don’t have to worry about whether someone else could stop him later. There does not exist a weaker argument than “he wouldn’t be able to do these things.” Okay. So why should I let him try?

@LTGHRMcMaster Just go ahead and endorse Kamala already.

@LTGHRMcMaster This kind of wishful thinking is naive and dangerous!

@LTGHRMcMaster Seems like the checks on presidential powers are being undermined by SCOTUS & Trump has learned to install only sycophants who would be loyal to him over the constitution. Few real checks on his presidential power s would remain.

@LTGHRMcMaster He may be sincere, but McMaster comes across as a bit naive about Donald Trump. How much more evidence do you need to see the man is a threat to our democracy and the Western alliance?

🚨James Fishback says he will END BYRON DONALDS CAREER on the debate stage. Says voters should THINK FOR THEMSELVES! “Trump doubled down on his endorsement of Tony Gonzalez, who had an extramarital affair with his staffer, who then quite literally lit herself on fire. Donald Trump doubled down on his endorsement of Lindsey Graham, who has never seen a country he doesn't want to bomb or a man he doesn't want to sleep with. And so at the end of the day I think what we all should do as Americans is think for ourselves.”

“It is a power grab by an individual who now has imperial ideas. He [Trump] wants to exercise power because he has been elected to the office of a powerful country. Nobody's checking his power, & it's growing… it's undermining our institutions, undermining our rule of law.”

Warren: Trump can round up billions of dollars to invade Venezuela. He can round up billions of dollars for Argentina—but he can’t get there on the front lines to help people afford their health care. He can’t go in there and reduce the cost of housing…. We’ll keep bringing it back to that central question: Who do you think government should work for? If you think it ought to work for the oil companies, if you think it ought to work for the billionaires, then by golly, Trump and the Republicans are your folks. But if you think it ought to work for your family—if you think it ought to work for Americans across this country—then now is the time. Vote Democratic.

I wish Democrats respected the filibuster — it’s good for the institution. But they don’t. Dems will nuke it the minute they get power and use it to maintain power. So we should act first. We should take a vote to see if Democrats like the idea when President Trump is in office.
