News Analysis🔎The post-#Election push to pressure President Trump to concede, despite numerous credible allegations of #VoterFraud and ongoing legal challenges, is the culmination of a 4-year-long campaign against him. (Thread👇)
This is an issue that transcends party lines, as it is not only an assault on Trump, but an assault on the office of the presidency, and with it, an assault on the foundation of America.
The #FBI under President #Obama in 2016 launched a politically motivated investigation of the #TrumpCampaign.
Based on publicly available information, we know the investigation was initiated based on the thinnest of evidence: remarks made…
The investigation primarily relied on the discredited #SteeleDossier, produced by former MI6 agent Christopher Steele on behalf of the #Clinton campaign and the @DNC.
While the #FBI’s #CrossfireHurricane investigation would not find any evidence of Trump–Russia #Collusion, the investigations, including selective #Leaks to the media, would create the public narrative that Trump had colluded to win the 2016 election.
The #FBI under #Comey and #AndrewMcCabe proactively worked against Trump. #McCabe was directly involved in the #CrossfireHurricane investigation. After @Comey was fired by Trump, McCabe actively pushed the agency to further investigate Trump.
Perhaps one of the most powerful forces working against Trump has been the news media. Over the past 5 years, they have relentlessly published skewed and inaccurate information about him while minimizing or ignoring his accomplishments.
On Dec. 18, 2019, Trump was impeached along partisan lines. Though the Senate would later dismiss the charge, it left a mark on his presidency and dragged the country through months of public attacks in the media.
Trump’s opponents have accused the president of mishandling the #CCPVirus by acting too late.
This is contrary to the events of early 2020. The #TrumpAdministration on Feb. 2, 2020, banned all foreign travel from #China, the source of the global #Pandemic.
Meanwhile, his opponents in politics and media, including Joe Biden, described it as xenophobic and an overreaction.
Trump is #CommunistChina’s biggest adversary. He broke a decades-long US policy toward #China that was based on the belief that, through engagement and economic development, the #CCP would evolve from a totalitarian regime toward a more democratic country.
#BlackLivesMatter has been behind the #Riots that have plagued US cities for much of this year. The group has hijacked the concerns people have over #Racism and used them to justify its advance of a #Marxist agenda.
Just like in #Russia, #China, #Cuba, and #Venezuela, trained #Marxists have hijacked righteous causes to advance the #Communist agenda.
Dressed in full black gear and trained in agitation and basic combat, #Antifa extremists have been involved in numerous acts of #Violence during Trump’s presidency.
Antifa members have targeted both #LawEnforcement and unarmed #TrumpSupporters.
It’s no secret that many career officials in the US government actively sought to undermine or even openly work against Trump. Many in government have been led by false information published by media organizations to believe that…
In fact, they have done the United States a disservice by blocking a rightfully elected president from executing the will of the people.
Following the firing of #FBI Director #Comey, Deputy AG #RodRosenstein assigned #RobertMueller to continue the #RussianCollusion investigation.
#Mueller would conclude in a final report that there was no evidence of such collusion.
Throughout the past 4 years, the #TrumpAdministration has been plagued by selective #Leaks aimed at damaging Trump’s presidency.
Some have been criminal in nature, such as the leak of the transcripts of Trump’s conversations with foreign leaders—a felony offense.
Dozens of credible allegations of #VoterFraud or other illegal acts connected to the counting of #Ballots have emerged.
Dozens of poll workers across multiple states have given testimony in sworn statements detailing #Irregularities…
They’ve argued that in #Pennsylvania alone, 600,000 #Ballots should be invalidated, as GOP #Election observers weren’t allowed to witness the ballot processing.
The use of manufactured #Narratives to attack Trump has been pervasive since he assumed the presidency. Perhaps the most notable is the claim that he defended neo-Nazis in #Charlottesville.

This idea - that elections should translate into policy - is not wrong at all. But political science can help explain why it's not working this way. There are three main explanations: 1. mandates are constructed, not automatic, 2. party asymmetry, 3. partisan conpetition 1/
First, party/policy mandates from elections are far from self-executing in our system. Work on mandates from Dahl to Ellis and Kirk on the history of the mandate to mine on its role in post-Nixon politics, to Peterson Grossback and Stimson all emphasize that this link is... 2/

Trump's demonstrably false fraud nonsense - it derailed an emerging mandate news cycle. Winners of elections get what they get - institutional control - but can't expect much beyond that unless the perception of an election mandate takes hold. And it didn't. 4/
Let's turn to the legislation element of this. There's just an asymmetry in terms of passing a relief bill. Republicans are presumably less motivated to get some kind of deal passed. Democrats are more likely to want to do *something.* 5/
I\u2019m sorry it\u2019s just insane that Democrats are like, \u201cwe won everything and our opening position on relief is $1.9T\u201d and Republicans are like, \u201cwe lost and our opening position is $600B,\u201d and the media will be like, \u201cDemocrats say they want unity but reject this bipartisan deal.\u201d

This is NONSENSE. The people who take photos with their books on instagram are known to be voracious readers who graciously take time to review books and recommend them to their followers. Part of their medium is to take elaborate, beautiful photos of books. Die mad, Guardian.

RT-PCR corona (test) scam
Symptomatic people are tested for one and only one respiratory virus. This means that other acute respiratory infections are reclassified as

It is tested exquisitely with a hypersensitive non-specific RT-PCR test / Ct >35 (>30 is nonsense, >35 is madness), without considering Ct and clinical context. This means that more acute respiratory infections are reclassified as
3/12
The Drosten RT-PCR test is fabricated in a way that each country and laboratory perform it differently at too high Ct and that the high rate of false positives increases massively due to cross-reaction with other (corona) viruses in the "flu

Even asymptomatic, previously called healthy, people are tested (en masse) in this way, although there is no epidemiologically relevant asymptomatic transmission. This means that even healthy people are declared as COVID

Deaths within 28 days after a positive RT-PCR test from whatever cause are designated as deaths WITH COVID. This means that other causes of death are reclassified as

The fabrication of the "asymptomatic (super) spreader" is the coronation of the total nons(ci)ense in the belief system of #CoronasWitnesses.
Asymptomatic transmission 0.7%; 95% CI 0%-4.9% - could well be 0%!https://t.co/VeZTzxXfvT
