If you stand with Trump and haven't written to your Senators yet to ask them to object to the swing state electors, please do so. I am copying my letter in a longer thread below if you need an example. #stopthesteal

Senator ***,

I am a regular citizen and patriot and I'm frustrated and concerned about the election irregularities and the responses that I'm seeing from the Republican party in regard to Trump's justified actions to shine a light on the fact that this was a stolen election.

Most all of these swing states violated the Constitution by changing election law without the approval of the legislature. If there was no voter fraud at all, that alone invalidates this election. And yet the Supreme Court refuses to take it up. We are hearing now that Justice

Roberts yelled at his colleagues when they cited Bush v. Gore as precedent for hearing the case. He told them that at the time of Bush v. Gore we didn't have rioting in the streets. There is more at stake than ANTIFA starting phony riots in the streets on behalf of Soros and the

Democrats. We no longer have a Constitution if the Republican party sits idly by and lets Biden into the White House. I'm not for creating a new party but I can tell you this, there will be severe political consequences for the Republican establishment if this isn't fixed.

At the moment, POTUS is sitting on a stack of Trump cards that he's just waiting to unleash...a royal flush!
He has court cases that will go to the Supreme Court and thanks to the Texas case, he's now aware how to file them properly...under article 3 not 2...

Was GW Bush more fascist than Trump?
This good @michelleinbklyn column highlighted for me why I'm not the left.
Because not only do I disagree with those who say Bush was worse than Trump, I don't think "who was more fascist?" is a useful

Much of left discourse fixates on fascism. Some use "fascism" to mean any right-wing govt, anything bad about govt, or sometimes just "bad thing."
But even those who are more precise fixate on it, which leads them to search for parallels to historical cases and fascist theory

Instead of asking questions like "closer or farther from a free society?" or "how strong are these institutions?," the fixation on fascism leads to "how much does this resemble 1920s-30s Italy or Germany?" and "how close is this to that scholar's description of fascism?"
3/x

But fixating on the danger of a fascist takeover in America misses the more salient threat of democratic backsliding.
Simplifying a bit, fascism features strong institutions to impose its vision on society while democratic backsliding features weakening institutions.

So some lefties say Bush was worse than Trump because Bush created DHS after 9/11 while Trump tried to duck responsibility with COVID rather than use it to seize power like an American Reichstag fire.
But it was Trump's weakening of institutions that posed the big danger.

As usual, so much vying for our attention. But tonight two members of Biden team gave the most detailed interview to date abt incoming Admin’s plans for dealing w asylum, Central American migration, & the southern border. It was more a statement of purpose than an action plan. 1/

There are very encouraging signs and, as expected, some lacunae. A few noteworthy details: (1) The advisors said Biden will “expand legal pathways for migration...allowing people to apply for refugee resettlement & temporary worker and employment-based programs” in the region. 2/

All presidential admins (some MUCH more cynically than others) stress the dangerousness of the overland journey to the US. It obviously *is* dangerous. It’s also true that large #s of those arriving at US border don’t qualify for asylum under strict dictates of US imm law. 3/

All legal/policy/humanitarian experts I consult agree: there need to be *more* ways, not less, to give people a chance both to seek asylum & come to US legally (if not permanently) to work. Regional processing helps w this. Language used by Biden team is good in this regard. 4/

What else is striking abt Biden team’s language from interview? (2) Asylum officers will adjudicate claims. This is on the progressive wish-list. It’s a practical and humane way to give people speedier relief and take pressure off of a beleaguered immigration court system. 5/

See thread below for President Trump’s entire Christmas message. It is inspiring and wonderful! ❤️

NEW -- If you have spent years sending a few dollars a month out of your paycheck or Social Security check to Donald Trump's campaign, congratulations. You helped Trump funnel $8.5 million of that back into his own cash

Other GOP candidates and committees kicked in another $2 million.

The biggest spender in that category?

America First Action, which spent $573,132 at Trump's DC hotel.

Through a trust that he controls, Trump owns the hotels, golf courses and buildings that received the money, with every penny of profit flowing to him personally.

The HuffPost analysis is based on a review of filings by the Trump campaign, the RNC and their two joint fundraising committees, representing all spending reported between Jan. 20, 2017 and Nov. 23, the last date for the final filing period this year.

Trump Tower, the NYC skyscraper where Trump keeps a penthouse residence and his business offices, received $1,716,155 in the form of rent payments, even though the campaign was based in a high-rise office building in Arlington, VA, across the Potomac River from the White House.
