1) You have to be a little vain to be on Twit & think your opinion matters to others. That's ok.

2) Personally, I'm honored & flattered that even 10 of you would follow me, let alone the number who do.

3) So, with that in mind, it's been said that there is the "Evil Party & the Stupid Party."

4) Increasingly, I think that's wrong.

5) There is definitely the Evil Party, the DemoKKKrats. What I think we overlook is that they know their evil & just don't care.
6) But I don't think you get where Yertle, Tom Collins, Minion & some of the others in the GOP are by being stupid.

7) I think they are vain to the radical extreme.

8) They are the Vain Party, who really believe that 74m people voted for "them" in November; who really . . .
8) contd . . . believe that "they know what's best" & their pucksnorter consultants are intelligent & skilled.

They really believe we do NOT matter because they are so much smarter. We just "don't get it." We don't see "how the game is played."
9) Here is the important part: this vanity comes from believing they are morally superior to everyone. That they can "lose gracefully" because people will appreciate how moral & upstanding they are & credit them.
10) They not only believe they are smarter than us, but morally superior to us smelly, hillbilly, gun-clinging, bible-toting deplorables.

11) They, of course, are morally above fighting. They are morally above pointing out fraud, because, after all, THEY would "never do it."
12) The two best examples of this today are not the evil Minion or the calculating snake Yertle, but Pat Toomey and John Thune.

13) Read what these guys say: only THEY are moral enough to judge if there has been any fraud committed against Trump.

14) Moreover, if Trump . . .
14) contd . . . "hadn't said mean things" or "hadn't tweeted" or "played nice," then there wouldn't have been the need for fraud.

15) To the moralist Vain Party, Trump is the reason for the season of fraud.
16) For someone like Thune, who himself was a loser to fraud, well, "gool ol' DemoKKKrats, ha ha. That's just how they are, ha ha. Next time. Ha ha."
17) Just watch the video of the woman speaking to Minion in the airport & you can see the vanity & the condescension dripping from him. "Oh, it would take too long to explain my CONSTITUTIONAL position to someone like YOU, hillbilly."
18) Now the neverTrump Broken Kristols, the Benjis, the Frenchfries, the Bootlesses, and the Goldburgers make more sense. They not only were never conservatives, but they were VAIN Liberals!
19) The Sarlac Pit isn't good enough for these people.

1. The death of Silicon Valley, a thread

How did Silicon Valley die? It was killed by the internet. I will explain.

Yesterday, my friend IRL asked me "Where are good old days when techies were


2. In the "good old days" Silicon Valley was about understanding technology. Silicon, to be precise. These were people who had to understand quantum mechanics, who had to build the near-miraculous devices that we now take for granted, and they had to work

3. Now, I love libertarians, and I share much of their political philosophy. But you have to be socially naive to believe that it has a chance in a real society. In those days, Silicon Valley was not a real society. It was populated by people who understood quantum mechanics

4. Then came the microcomputer revolution. It was created by people who understood how to build computers. One borderline case was Steve Jobs. People claimed that Jobs was surrounded by a "reality distortion field" - that's how good he was at understanding people, not things

5. Still, the heroes of Silicon Valley were the engineers. The people who knew how to build things. Steve Jobs, for all his understanding of people, also had quite a good understanding of technology. He had a libertarian vibe, and so did Silicon Valley

The entire discussion around Facebook’s disclosures of what happened in 2016 is very frustrating. No exec stopped any investigations, but there were a lot of heated discussions about what to publish and when.


In the spring and summer of 2016, as reported by the Times, activity we traced to GRU was reported to the FBI. This was the standard model of interaction companies used for nation-state attacks against likely US targeted.

In the Spring of 2017, after a deep dive into the Fake News phenomena, the security team wanted to publish an update that covered what we had learned. At this point, we didn’t have any advertising content or the big IRA cluster, but we did know about the GRU model.

This report when through dozens of edits as different equities were represented. I did not have any meetings with Sheryl on the paper, but I can’t speak to whether she was in the loop with my higher-ups.

In the end, the difficult question of attribution was settled by us pointing to the DNI report instead of saying Russia or GRU directly. In my pre-briefs with members of Congress, I made it clear that we believed this action was GRU.
