Freedom of assembly is a Constitutional right, Mayor Bowser.

9/12/2018 President Trump declared election interference a national emergency and authorized the use of government resources to address and intercept the threat.

11/28/1861 President Lincoln “ordered government departments closed for a local day of thanksgiving.”

11/26/1789 “As President of the United States, George Washington proclaimed the first nationwide thanksgiving celebration in America ....”to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favours of Almighty God".

Today is 1/2/2021. I propose that President Trump make January 6 into a National holiday, proclaiming it “National Liberation Day” or similar.

This presumes public awareness of the reality of our situation, Biden stepping down, Pence replaced, etc. as reported unverified.

My friend’s father went to the Virginia Military Institute, which is as hardcore as the name implies. He tells a story that has always stuck with me:

[THREAD]

1/ The school had a rivalry with another school, I can’t remember which. My friend’s father was one of three cadets guarding the school’s canon during the big football game. The rival school thought it would be a funny prank to steal and/or deface the canon.

2/ A dozen or so drunken students came upon the three of them, guarding the canon. My friend’s father was a bit scared, because they were badly outnumbered. But the cadet in charge was not scared. At all. He stood there with his rifle, holding it as if to bludgeon.

3/ The drunk students approached, rowdily demanding that the cadets move so they could deface the canon.

“Stand down,” the cadet said.

The students got closer, grew rowdier. Now they were taunting.

“Stand down.”

4/ The taunting grew. The drunk students fanned out, surrounding the three cadets. My friend’s father was now terrified.

Again: “Stand down.”

I’m not sure if the significance of the travelling at Christmas is well understood.

Kenney is thumbing his nose at Albertans.

This is no ordinary thumbing. He’s basically letting Albertans know that he and his MLAs will do as they please and there will be no consequences.

This is when following policy is helpful.

In March 2020 when Dr. Hinshaw closed schools down, Kenney was furious. He couldn’t reverse the order without seriously damaging his credibility & revealing his true nature. So he did the next best thing. He gave himself absolute power.

And, since it was during a pandemic, barely anyone noticed.

The powers he bequeathed upon himself and his political party are only in effect when a Public Health Emergency is invoked. Kenney invoked a Public Health Emergency in late November 2020.

The CMOH no longer has free reign to order public health orders and she no longer reports to the Deputy Minister of Health. She reports directly to the Minister of Health, who is guided by the premier in his decision making.

The other change was the addition of absolute power for the premier and ministers of cabinet, to repeal, amend or create ANY legislation, whether it has anything to do with the emergency or not.

Pence acknowledged Trump's allegations the election was rigged, of which there has been no proof and no court has upheld, in a likely peace offering to the president.
'I share the concerns of millions of Americans about the integrity of this election,' he wrote.
But he noted as

MINI-THREAD: 1) Tea Pain has never been more ashamed of our government than he is now. Over 100 Republican members of the House and a dirty dozen GOP Senators are throwin' in with Trump's seditious attempt to overthrow a certified election.

2) True enough, Republicans don't believe America is a Democracy, rather a Republic, but by definition a republic is where "sovereignty rest with the people through their elected representatives." Republicans also believe in "States Rights" rather than centralized power.

3) Sadly the GOP are lookin' at these two foundation principles in their rear view mirror. Trump has transformed (more like deformed) the Republican Party into a cabal of sycophants ulceratin' to crown an authoritarian as their "Unitary Executive". In other words, a king.

4) Remember all those years GOP have stood on their little soap boxes and wept big crocodile tears for the weakenin' of "States Rights?" This Wednesday they are gladly, gleefully ready to overthrow 50 state-certified election results and circumvent the will of the people.

5) So, what is the Republican Party now? It's simple, because it can be defined by a new, single overridin' principle. "Power at all cost."

The rule of law has been forsaken in lieu of the "ends justify the means. "

🚨🚨🚨🚨Situation Update, Jan. 7th, 2021 – False flag attack STAGED to complete the steal

The false flag raid on the Capitol Building yesterday, led by Antifa and BLM operatives dressed as Trump supporters, set the stage to justify the final betrayal of America as Dems and

UK Government just released 70 pages of case studies today, showing how the borders will operate after 1 January 2021.

They're essentially hardcore porn for red tape fetishists.

Doomed, we are. Doomed.

(e.g. exporting fish; exporting mechanical goods)
https://t.co/zWpkdGJeim

This is exactly what should have been presented years ago so that firms could prepare.

Or, arguably, before the Brexit referendum. Just the 70 pages of case studies released TODAY could have tipped the result the other way. Not everyone is blinded by sovrinty & hating forrins.

Going back to the examples...

The person in France buying (say) UK mechanical goods will take one look at the procedures involved, and Google an alternative supplier inside the EU instead.

As for the fish, they could probably swim to their intended destination faster of their own accord than following the new process, if only they had water in between to traverse.

The purchasers will smell them coming a mile away.

Auto parts. I am practically weeping at my keyboard.

Thread – Does the Buck Really Stop with Mike Pence?

1. A pal sent me this Facebook post by “Rod D. Martin.” I pass it along as food for thought in the frenzy leading up to the “great expectations” of 6 January.

2.

We absolutely must resist the massive fraud which has just been perpetrated on our country. But at the same time, we must not grasp at hopes which are not hope.

3. Some believe that the Constitution grants Vice President Mike Pence almost magical powers to overturn the improperly certified election "results" from the stolen swing states. They base this on just one clause, plus a lot of internet rumor.

4. This is the relevant sentence, from the 12th Amendment: "The President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates and the votes shall then be counted."

5. The [various] theories being articulated freight this clause with a shocking amount of weight. Where, for instance, does this clause state that Mike Pence's rulings are unappealable?

We need to talk about @senatemajldr Mitch McConnell and how he is MURDERING THIS NATION. And we need to talk about it RIGHT NOW. Yesterday he killed the only chance for a nation hanging on by a thread to receive ANY economic relief. HE MUST BE REMOVED FROM HIS POSITION (Thread)

Over his 30+ YEAR tenure in Congress, McConnell has used his power to turn the GOP into a cult of spineless obstructionists who spit on the American people. Who cover up and "acquit" criminal Republican Presidents while launching baseless illegal investigations into Democrats.

Who invent fake "precedents" to block black Presidents from appointing Supreme Court Justices and then revoke them when the table turns. Who pass no bills but pack the courts. Who care about nothing but MAINTAINING POWER AT ANY COST. Well the costs are too damn high, Mitch.

Over 341,000 Americans ARE DEAD because YOU refused to remove a blatantly guilty treasonous mobster criminal from office in early February. The economy that Obama and Biden recovered from the Bush recession lies in ruins. Millions are on the brink of eviction and bankruptcy.

And you couldn't even give a paltry $2000 to Americans? That was too much to ask? Billionaires got 2 TRILLION. You yourself are a multi-millionaire. The rest of us get NOTHING. So what can we do? HOW DO WE REMOVE THIS ABOMINATION? G-E-O-R-G-I-A. That's how.

From DC Metro Police Dept;
Tues 01/05/2021-Thurs 01/07/2021, multiple 1st Amendment demonstrations are expected to occur in D.C. In conjunction w/ these demonstrations, there will be parking restriction & potential street closures that motorists should take into consideration:

DC Coup Analysis Thread 1/

I am doing my 'first thoughts' review & analysis of the Trump attempt of a Dictatorial Coup of America we just witnessed in DC the past few days. This is the first in a SERIES of THREADS. This looks at 'what happened'. This sets the stage

DC Coup Analysis Thread 2/

Before Wednesday 6.1.2021 Trump had been PLANNING and organizing that event. Trump knew it was date when Congress certifies Biden's victory to become next President. Trump is dumb enough, gullible enough & delusional enough to think it could be undone

DC Coup Analysis Thread 3/

Trump KNEW he had lost the actual popular vote. He had sent Giuliani to try to overturn several State elections which failed. Trump had come to believe, that on 6.1.2021 Congress COULD overturn the popular vote, and make Trump the President.

DC Coup Analysis Thread 4/

Any sane adult who tried to tell Trump the truth, was met with a petulant child who puts his hands over his ears and yells 'lalalalalala, I can't hear you'. Sadly a group of sick bastard liars egged Trump on into his delusions like Giuliani, Ted Cruz..

DC Coup Analysis Thread 5/

...Sadly a group of sick bastard liars egged Trump on into his delusions like Giuliani, Ted Cruz, Hannity & Lindsey Graham - convincing Trump that he CAN BE MADE PRESIDENT inspite of losing the popular vote, through that date 6.1.2021 in Congress

1/ Georgia State Senate Hearing Live Tweet Thread:

The current Senate witness, J. Hutton Pulitzer, claims that the state's ballot auditors audited reproduction ballots because the original ballots are missing.

2/ This is concerning because previous witnesses testified that stacks of ballots appeared to be machine-made missing telltale creases and having identical vote markings for Biden and no other candidates.

3/ J. Hutton Pulitzer states his team can review 100% of Georgia's ballots to determine if they are REAL or FAKE within two hours. The State of Georgia has refused to allow any examination of the ballots for authenticity.

4/ J. Hutton Pulitzer claims he can determine the authenticity of the ballots from the State Farm Arena within hours if the state will make them available to his company. He calls the physical ballot the Holy Grail.

5/ The Senate has moved to compel the Georgia Secretary of State to turn over the physical ballots. The fight will likely end up in the courts as the Secretary of State has refused to comply with the Senate's request.

#WealthOfNations I.ii is all about the secret sauce origin story: why does the division of labor happen in the first place? #AdamSmith illustrates (in part) with doggos to hold our attention. (I.ii.2,5) 🐶 #WealthOfTweets #SmithTweets #DoggosDontTrade

Divsion of labor, Smith said yesterday, is responsible for a whole heckuva lot. But who thought of it? Nobody! It's "not originally the effect of any human wisdom, which foresees and intends that general opulence to which it gives occasion." (I.ii.1) #WealthOfTweets #SmithTweets

There's no mastermind behind economic exchange, our "propensity to truck, barter, and exchange one thing for another" (I.ii.1) arises out of our natural tendency to persuade one another and better our condition. #WealthOfTweets #SmithTweets

Yeah, there's a lot in that first paragraph. #WealthOfTweets #SmithTweets

You know what's coming, right? 🍖🍻🍞 Butchers, brewers, bakers: they don't make us things because they love us. They're not our moms. (I.ii.2) #WealthOfTweets #SmithTweets

The VICE PRESIDENT of Jones Group International (Obama/Biden's National Security Advisor/owners of #ShadowNet), Gillian Turner, is still a correspondent on @FoxNews.

This is COMPLETELY OK with @laralogan & her MIC IIA PSYOP CTR husband Joe.

Do you

IMO, having spent nearly 2-yrs in Iraq/Afghanistan, it's like taking a big shit & wiping it on the grave of EVERY SOLDIER THAT EVER DIED protecting our Constitutionally protected freedom of press.

When you DESTROY journalism integrity, you're destroying our Constitution!

This week was unlike any other I've ever seen in Washington DC. It started when rumors online weeks before started getting more aggressive and threatening. There was alot of talk about bombs and guns being brought. They followed through with threats. 1/?

I held alot of footage until I made it back to a safe place because of those threats. I spent my first day running around town looking for intel and supporting our community. I arrived in DC, where I grew up, on Monday night and saw a few trump supporters around 2/

I ran into issues with my safe house and had to figure out alternative that kept me from running into downtown to Guage how many people were already here, so I held off until Tuesday morning. 3/

Tuesday morning Enrique tarrio was suppose to have court at 9am but the court house was delayed until 1pm. While I was hanging around I met a ruptly reporter and we talked about what may happen, and I shared some of the bomb threats I had seen which surprised him. 4/

Shortly after getting coffee we saw a group of what we suspected to be supporters of tarrio walk up. They were marked with American flag arm bands and a few had the signature black and gold. They were pretty cold to the media while they tried to find info out 5/
