✔️ We have begun. It's Day 4 of the Trump Impeachment Trial 2.0. The defense is putting on their case. The first lawyer is Van Der Veen.

1/

 Already this is wackadoodle. Seems like the defense is trying to tell us not to believe what we saw. This lawyer has the audacity to say that the people assembled at Trump's speech were peaceful patriots

2/
This lawyer is claiming that Trump's speech on the ellipse on January 6th was was a policy speech about "turning out strong in the next primaries" and how this was about working on voting law reform.

A mere civics lesson.

3/
The lawyer is lying. The Clinton campaign never "declared that the election was stolen by Russia."

Also, this Trump lawyer is trying to claim that democrats objecting to some of the electoral votes is equivalent to Trump's incitement of violence.

4/
As we expected, Trump's lawyers are not going to address the merits. Instead this is what-about-ism

5/
Whoops!

Trump's lawyer said "litigating questions of election integrity" is not "incitement to resurrection"

I think he meant insurrection. What a dupe.

6/
He is now cherry-picking the rare instance of Trump hours into the riots at the capitol. A tweet where he said to remain peaceful when they had already siege the capitol.

7/
He claims these extremists "hijacked the event for their own purposes." He said that the pre-planned the event. He claimed the first arrested was "a member of Antifa."

8/
Lawyer not very smart. He says you "can't incite what was already going to happen."

FALSE. Trump cultivated them, groomed them, thanked them, organized the rally with the same people who were violent and then gave them the final command so they knew to "fight like hell."

9/
Trump's lawyer is now blaming the victims. He mentions the events at Lafayette Square from the summer where Barr sent out force to tear gas non-violent protesters so that Trump could do a photo up with a Bible at a church.

10/
And, he says someone needs to see if that's why force was not prepared to defend capitol

11/
"If you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore."

He said that is ordinary campaign rhetoric.

Said "no human being believes . . .that is incitement to political violence.

12/
Untrue. We saw the evidence.

Now he is claiming that the press and Dems said the 2016 election had been "hacked."

ACTUALLY, the u.s. intelligence agencies and Mueller actually indicted Russian groups for conspiracy in our elections. So he is LYING

13/
Dude, Speaker Pelosi is not on trial. If you want to try her then go for it.

The topic today is the siege of the Capitol on January 6.

14/
He is now complaining about angry protesters surrounding Senator Collins' home.

Note: No one there was violent.

15/
So this is a lie. Trump's lawyer has not been consistent in opposition to mob violence.

16/
It looks like the defense's angle here is to say that Trump's words did not incite the crowd, and that the crowd acted independently, and a partisan effort.

He thinks he is clever to call this "constitutional cancel culture" or something like that.

17/
He says senate should reject this and "allow nation to move forward."

No. We will not move on. Sorry.

18/
Up next is Schoen. We saw him on Tuesday when he was supposed to be arguing that the senate did not have jurisdiction over the case. He failed at that as the senate majority found they did have jurisdiction.

19/
He said that Trump had a "law and order" message throughout his presidency.

Actually, it was law and order for little people. Above the law for him, his family, and friends and the white collar criminals and war criminals he pardoned or whose sentences he commuted.

20/
He's yelling, "why wasn't this footage never seen before?"

He's asking why wasn't Trump and American people able to see footage as soon as it was available?

21/
He says we still do not have all of the facts. claims that there is no way to have an investigation through a special commission and also try to bring impeachment case

22/
So this is chutzpah. He is complaining that the house managers are using news reports about how President Trump was delighted by riot. The reason why they are using media reports is because Trump is refusing to testify

23/
He claims that you get more due process when you fight a parking ticket, but this is not fighting a parking ticket. This is what the constitution allows and Trump has plenty of chances to present his own evidence.

24/
he is claiming that he believes that house managers made fake tweets. And now he’s claiming that he is so incompetent that he did not have the time to check. That is sad.

25/

When Senator Robert F. Kennedy was assassinated on June 6, 1968, Jacqueline Kennedy cried out, “If they’re killing Kennedys, then my children are targets. I want to get out of this country.”

My piece in the NY Times today: "the Trump administration is denying applications submitted to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services at a rate 37 percent higher than the Obama administration did in 2016."

Based on this analysis: "Denials for immigration benefits—travel documents, work permits, green cards, worker petitions, etc.—increased 37 percent since FY 2016. On an absolute basis, FY 2018 will see more than about 155,000 more denials than FY 2016." https://t.co/Bl0naOO0sh


"This increase in denials cannot be credited to an overall rise in applications. In fact, the total number of applications so far this year is 2 percent lower than in 2016. It could be that the higher denial rate is also discouraging some people from applying at all.."

Thanks to @gsiskind for his insightful comments. The increase in denials, he said, is “significant enough to make one think that Congress must have passed legislation changing the requirements. But we know they have not.”

#Thread Take action to defend free speech 📢

Stage 2 scrutiny of the Hate Crime Bill begins tomorrow, Tuesday 2nd February. Members of the Justice Committee will debate and vote on various amendments. It is vitally important that more, significant changes are agreed.

We still believe the best course of action is to drop the controversial stirring up hatred offences altogether. At the very least, MSPs must back changes previously promised by the Scottish Government.

The govt has pledged to: restrict the offences to ‘intent’ only; strengthen a free speech provision covering religion and insert a new provision on trans identity; remove provisions on 'inflammatory material' and provide an objective test for what ‘abusive’ behaviour means.

Other useful amendments have been lodged to: remove the vague term 'abusive' altogether; insert a broader trans free speech provision; provide a ‘dwelling defence’ for words spoken in the home; and insert a 'prosecution lock' requiring consent from a senior law officer.

Please take the time to write to Justice Committee MSPs and ask them to back these vital changes. Details of the amendments and how to contact MSPs are below.

We promised people that if we won the Senate, we would send out $2,000 survival checks. They delivered us to victory—and now we MUST deliver.

“Targeting” checks to a smaller group fails to do that. People need help like never before, and we must put money in their pockets.

“Targeting” checks isn’t just bad for people, it’s bad policy too! It’s not humane, it's not smart, it’s not effective, and it’s not even fiscally responsible. Not to mention that it doesn't meet the scale of this crisis.

Help me spread the word about 4 obvious reasons why:

1⃣The survival checks often use 2019 tax data to measure someone’s income.

Millions lost their jobs in 2020 due to COVID—that’s the whole point of this relief!—and therefore their income from 1 or 2 years ago is no longer accurate. They need help now and we must provide it.

Even if someone isn’t one of the nearly 1 million additional people losing their job EVERY single week, they likely lost hours and therefore had their overall income significantly reduced.

By “targeting,” we cut out people who are desperately in need of help.

2⃣The data from people who filed for unemployment shows that more than 20% of those earning between $50k and $70k were still food insecure.

That's up 16% from 2019—and it's why food banks have such long lines. We need to put money in their pockets so they can feed their family.

1. Now that Stan Lee is being eulogized far and wide, it's important to remember how marginal Stan Lee and his collaborators (Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko) were in the 1950s and 1960s.

2. Marvel Comics (before that Atlas) was just a cog in the machine of a bottom pulp publisher run by Martin Goodman, the husband of one of Lee's cousins. It was the lowest of the low in the publishing world.

3. Now Mario Puzo (not yet the author of the Godfather) shared offices with Stan Lee in the 1950s and 1960s. Puzo wrote for garrish men's adventure magazines and, like Lee, dreamed of writing a novel & breaking out. But Puzo looked down on Lee.

4. Flo Steinberg, 1960s secretary at Marvel: "They were always making jokes about us. They'd come in and giggle. mario Puzo would look in and would see us all working on his way to the office and say, 'Work faster, little elves. Christmas is coming.'"

5. When JFK was killed, the whole office of Magazine Management was stunned and quiet. Except Lee. He continued working. "He was still working on the comic books," Puzo said. "Like that was the most important thing in the world."

The Ife Primary Education Research Project (1970-1983).

aka

The Ife 6-Year Primary Project.


In 1970, as the Director of the Institute of Education of the then University of Ife (now Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife), later Dean Faculty of Education, Prof. Babs Fafunwa & his team embarked on one of the most groundbreaking research projects in education for Yorubaland.


The aim of the project was to test the hypothesis that the best instructional medium for good concept formation at a very tender age is the mother tongue.

This was bolstered by the observation that “of all the continents and peoples of the world, it is only in Africa…

…that formal education is offered in a language that is foreign to the child.”

So, Yoruba was to be used & tested as an exclusive medium of passing information or instructions to a set of pupils.

The project was based on the premise that:

(a). the child will benefit culturally, socially, linguistically & cognitively.

(b). the child’s command of English will be improved if he is taught English as an entirely separate subject by a specialist teacher through the 6 years.

Ever wonder how traders get in stocks before they explode? 🧐

Or find options that move 1,000% in a single day/week?🤯

I made a thread going over exactly how I find these stocks BEFORE they take off 🚀

Read this thread to the end...I just had an epiphany and my mind is blown. Actually, more than blown. More like OBLITERATED! This is the thing! This is the thing that will blow the entire thing out of the water!


Has this man been concealing his true identity?

Is this man a supposed 'dead' Seal Team Six soldier?

Witness protection to be kept safe until the right moment when all will be revealed?!

Who ELSE is alive that may have faked their death/gone into witness protection?


Were "golden tickets" inside the envelopes??


Are these "golden tickets" going to lead to their ultimate undoing?
