Can we do a confessional? During the insurrection/riot/seige, I was apprehensive about the narrative taking hold that the police officers just kinda welcomed these shitbags into the Capitol. It seemed to reflect some of what I saw, but also not all of what I saw.

But then I made a joke about it, despite the fact that we were in the middle of knowing what happened and I knew I was, of course, getting a very select view of what was happening. I did this for two reasons:

First, because it is absolutely true that the situation would have been very different if those people hadn’t been white. That’s just the case. I knew that then, I know that now. It makes me very angry.

Second, because it felt like everyone else was doing it. And this is the thing, you only see what people are saying on here, you don’t see what people aren’t saying. I thought, “even though I don’t really know what’s going on, I’m not gonna get any hate for this.” Which was true.

And maybe third, because I thought the joke was funny. But, and please let’s all agree to this, just because a joke is funny doesn’t mean it should be tweeted.

Yesterday was traumatic, for so many people. Horrifying, awful trauma — to both watch the Capitol building teeming with people who wanted to besmirch it and take selfies on the Senate floor and to watch these people walk away free.

(Long thread coming.)

Yesterday was the culmination — so far — of four horrible years that have stolen away the lives of so many. And for so many others, it has stolen our feeling of safety in the world. And our brains.

If you survived a traumatic childhood, this all felt familiar from the beginning. Living through this administration has triggered millions of people. And it has felt, again, like what we learned from our childhoods did not matter.

Here are the dynamics of an abusive household — aka, our country.

Abuser. That guy is a narcissistic bully, intent on only telling the story that matters to him.

Only in an abusive family would someone who claims he won in a landslide — when the facts make it utterly clear that is not true — be allowed to continue spewing these lies.

As an American citizen here's what i need to see happen today in Washington to deal with the political crisis unfolding. First, I need to hear from Christopher Wray, the head of the FBI. We need to know what the plan is -- the plan to find out how yesterday happened and how

2. everyone who participated will be discovered, investigated, prosecuted and jailed for a very long time. This crime against our nation can not go unpunished. Those seditious Americans need to face real consequences or our democracy and rule of law are a joke.

3. President elect Biden, who was perfect yesterday, needs to make a clear statement that bringing to justice the traitors who overran our Capitol yesterday will be a priority for him. Lawlessness will not stand in the Biden Administration. I want him to address the feelings of

4. black Americans this morning who once again have turned on their TV's to see two justice systems in America. And i want him to send a message to domestic terrorists in our country that they will be held to account for any attacks on government or their fellow Americans.

5. I want Democratic leaders in the House to make clear how they will hold the President accountable while he is still in office. Whether it's impeachment articles being brought to the floor or a censure motion, we all need to put every elected official on the record with a vote

WHEN RESISTANCE FALTERS

📌About an hour before Trump's GOP stormtroopers assaulted our Democracy Wednesday, one Mitch McConnell -- THAT Mitch McConnell -- was on the Senate floor doing what he does best: talking in code out of both sides of his dirty, ROTTEN mouth ...

📌Seems Mitch was finally ready to put a band aid on America's gaping wound -- the one he literally had everything to do with.

📌Mitch was going to push for certifying the vote of the American people. After months of inaction, Mitch the Great was saving the day.



📌But even Mitch knows, and has suppressed, that he could have removed Trump from the White House last year.

📌Even Mitch knows, but has suppressed, that he could have spared us from the absolute carnage of the past year that led to yesterday's attack on our democracy.



📌But never mind that brutal reality. On Wednesday, a defiant Mitch was willing to go as far certifying votes that were cast by REAL American patriots, who literally risked their lives to VOTE TRUMP OUT.

📌Wow! What a guy, eh???



📌There was NOTHING fucking heroic about what McConnell was doing. He was simply doing the bare minimum of what is expected of any American.

📌And that's when the real crime started ...

“[Trump] Went Down to #Georgia”

🎵A #GARunoff Musical Thread 🧵

(with music inspired by Charlie Daniels’ classic #GA fiddle song https://t.co/VxBwqkLq4E)

(1/11) 👇

[Trump] went down to Georgia
He was lookin' for a [vote] to steal
He was in a bind 'cause he was way behind
And he was willin' to make a deal
When he came across this [woman]
[Makin' democracy] hot
And [Trump] jumped upon a hickory stump
And said,"[Girl], let me tell you what"(2)

"I guess you didn't know it, but I'm a [politician], too
And if you'd care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you
Now you [make democracy good], [girl], but give the Devil his due
I'll bet [an election] of gold against your soul
'Cause I think I'm better than you"

(3/11)

The [girl] said, "My name's [Stacey], and it might be a sin
But I'll take your bet, you're gonna regret
'Cause I am the best that's ever has been

(4/11)

[Stacey], rosin up your [voters] and play your [democracy] hard
'Cause Hell's broke loose in Georgia and the Devil deals the cards
And if you win, you get this shiny [election] made of gold
But if you lose, the devil gets your soul

With just a few days left in a turbulent year, we are looking back at some of the key discussions in European surveillance politics in 2020. A central theme were attempts to regulate & roll back existing, possibly undemocratic practices of industry & state security actors. (1/57)

One of these practices is big-data or predictive policing, a method of algorithmic risk mapping that has increasingly been used by law enforcement departments around Europe. Concerns include limited effectiveness & reproduction of bias with a veneer of objectiveness. (2/57)

So is predictive policing really a good idea? What advantages does it bring? How does it sit with the right to presumption of innocence and civil liberties? We asked academics, politicians, police chiefs & business leaders these questions:

Jamie Grace (@SHULawCrim) argues that data-driven policing can only be as good as the data feeding it. To ensure high data reliability & make predictive policing fair & ethical, a code of practice for data analytics in criminal justice is needed.

An independent ethics committee to mitigate the risk of bias is also endorsed by @ChrisToddWMP (@WMPolice). He says that with high quality data, predictive policing can be used for the public good & fight crimes like domestic homicide.

I'll tell you why the English have ignored the fact that Scotland voted remain.
It's because they're trying to subordinate the idea of Scotland to nominally the United Kingdom, but effectively to England.

The English dominate the United Kingdom in Parliament. The English have got a virtual monopoly on the government of the United Kingdom. They pretend they don't, but they do.

The thing is, Brexit is the only time the dominance of England over the United Kingdom has been tested.
And the English have quite evidently failed.

If there was any truth to the English illusion of the United Kingdom, they would have never imposed this English nationalist Brexit on Scotland.

And I don't think any previous government would have ever dreamed of doing this.

No. This is an outburst of English nationalism using the built-in dominance of England over Parliament to kick the other nations aside.

Here is a thread Exposing mentality of Congress Leader Salman Nizami . Please Retweet

Anti India tweets (1)

1/ The areas Trump won (Republican areas) Are were the scam was planned and ran on election night.

Example 1: Georgia
37 Votes for Trump went to Biden

Example 2: Wisconsin
6000 Republican votes went to Democrat candidates. (The Glitch)

2/ The realization the steal would fail:

The Florida vote. FOX news calling Arizonian was a key word that Florida was lost big time.

Here is why. The States who shut down counting. All did so when Florida results poured in showing Democrat areas were voting Trump BIG TIME

3/ You see like you I watched election results in real time. But I went further then most. I kept open a 2016 county by county map as well the 2020 map. And I compared 2016 to 2020 as the election took place.

And I found something crazy. Red areas in Texas and Florida.

4/ Were voting for Biden way more then Hillary. And Even more specifically in Texas. Oil areas voted for Biden a shit ton more then Hillary. Look at Pennsylvania Fracking areas, Again Biden killed Hillary in Republican areas. I was like WTF is going on ?

5/ Back to Florida as the Trigger.The Pan Handle Biden kills Hillary. And Nation wide or were Dominion is used this pattern applies

Trump wins his red areas , But Biden over performs while losing in areas he could never win anyway

Thats how they were padding Biden's vote Total

1. Georgia Senate Election Fraud. It looks like same tricks pulled as Presidential Election. Vote counts going backwards, stoppage in counting, ballots being found late etc. I will drop stuff here but it will be mix of stuff, maybe repeats #ElectionFraud #georgia #GA #Fraud

Thread:

My predictions for US politics in the next 4 years.

No unity, more division, economic crash, war against crypto, charges against Trump, President Harris, the new Republican Party, Don Jr running in 2024.

The division in America will grow. The tech sector, news media and social media will be split even more between left and right. New alternatives will rise and the anger between left and right will escalate.

Over 30% of all US dollars were created in 2020 to stabilize the markets and pay for the Covid pandemic. The US economy will crash and USD currency will see a steep decline in value.

As a result of economic turmoil and failing fiat currencies crypto will rise around the world and governments will make a stand against it to protect their supply of printed money. Crypto will succeed because the people will accept it as new money outside of government control.

Donald Trump will fight tax evasion charges amongst other legal battles as he will be punished by the left and parts of the right for years to come. They will do anything in their power to prevent a comeback of Donald Trump.

With the @WhiteHouse as the backdrop, @POTUS about to take the stage at the #SaveAmericaMarch.

As 'God Bless the USA' plays, @POTUS now on stage.

"We have hundreds of thousands of people here," claims @realDonaldTrump. "These people are not going to take it any longer. Turn your cameras please."

"The media is the biggest problem we have," says @POTUS. "They rigged an election...Last night they didn't do a bad job either if you noticed."

#Election2020 being stolen by radical Democrats" and "the fake news media," claims @realDonaldTrump. "We will not take it any more...We will stop the steal."

Some random reflections on yesterday:

As a mob stormed the U.S. Capitol--the legislative center of the world's superpower--I couldn't ignore the significance of the date.

For one, this was the traditional date of the Epiphany, when Christ was revealed to the nations with the coming of the Magi.

Here you have nobles traveling a long way to pay homage to a baby who was born with nothing, wrapped in rags and laid in a a feeding trough. Our God came in humility and peace.

It's also the Optional Memorial of St. André Bessette--a Quebecois, religious brother, barely five feet tall, a doorman too "lowly" to be a priest.

Thread- History Explains.

Trump being taken out by the Senate is the same a Caesar, in that: The elite despise populist reforms because they dislike the lower classes.

They believe Trump has only ingratiated himself to the common people to take power from the Senate. 1/7

As with Caesar the Senate are removing him in order to protect their institutions.

If folks knew anything about Roman history, this take down signaled the end of the empire as a Republic.

Years of civil war following Caesar’s death resulted in... 2/7

...resulted in a senate that granted Octavian full control. He became the first Augustus.

A God-King.

The very thing Caesar was assassinated to prevent.

Jesus came during this time of God-Kings. They also wanted to kill Him.

3/7

Mark 10:45 “I did not come to be served, but to serve.” -Jesus.

Jesus was seen as ingratiating Himself to the common people by healing & forgiving them. His ministry was said by the religious to be that of Beelzebub (Lord of the flies). 4/7

They had to be careful about grabbing Jesus in public, because those filthy common people flocked to Him.

The people were supposed to revere the institution of religion. Something had to be done to restore things...

The Sanhedrin was a religious Senate. 5/7

Lots of stuff happened on Capitol Hill yesterday.

All sorts of reflexivity and fertile fallacies.

And, if you haven't figured it out yet, you are only allowed to believe one version of the story and are allowed to only have one response.

Just like in late May.

(2) Any "takes" that were outside of what the established majority had prescribed would instantly brand you a racist, a bigot, a white supremacist.

And you were hedged, deleted, and banned if you thought for yourself.

Just like in March.

I guess it is true: Democracy does die in darkness!
Thank you @SenTedCruz & @Jim_Jordan for standing by #WTP & @realDonaldTrump
As for other @GOP, mainly @LindseyGrahamSC , you should resign your posts bc GOP is dead & useless. You all are treasonous traitors who betrayed #WTP

If our government was truly for #WTP, @VP & @SpeakerPelosi would not of held a certification over night when most voters are sleeping. They would of open mindedly listened to electors who objected to their state certifications instead of waving it off like they didn't exist

Instead as a Republic our Democracy was stolen in the dead of night.
You have to ask yourself, if our government is so "transparent" why would they wait to finalize votes and electors when most the nation is sleeping? Why would they want to hide?

Why would the so called "duely" fraudantly elected @JoeBiden push for $2000 stimulus checks, yet Congress would reject it from @realDonaldTrump , who wanted #WTP, small businesses and unemployed, taken care of?

Why would our government be so against setting up an election commission to verify there was no fraud during the election? What are they so scared of finding out? That they actually manipulated an election to screw America?

I suspect Repubs are only pantomiming because they know it won’t work & Biden will be sworn in

Like kids playing with the stove, eyeballing Mom the whole time, knowing she’ll stop them

If it worked, they’d have to be responsible for the results of their choices. Can’t have that

Republicans have spent decades successfully blaming Democrats for the bad results of their policies & putting forward none of their own beyond tax cuts.

If they pulled off a coup they would have to stand by it & every fruit of that poisoned tree.

They literally don’t know how.

A coup ends the whole idea of an opposing party. It leaves Republicans in full control

Even with their full time propaganda network, they can’t pretend jettisoning the whole-ass Constitution doesn’t mean they’re in charge.

They haven’t had to stand by a choice since Eisenhower

If there was any chance at all of the Sedition Caucus pulling this coup off, they would never do it.

Their grift, their prestige, their safety, their rhetoric all depend on a functioning system not stomped into chaos by civil war against the majority they would disenfranchise.

Any given Republican would rather eat their own face on live TV than make a public decision & be held responsible for its consequences

That’s why McConnell is their savior. He blocks everything so they never even have to vote, their names are attached to no actual choices, ever.
