You’d think that if Pence could overturn the election like Trump claimed then Biden surely would’ve taken up that chance

 Also this is such a small thing but one thing I noticed in that Trump campaign ad the defense just ran, there were no citations, unlike every clip that the impeachment managers showed
Michael Van Der Veen is giving us the full Fox News Primetime Defense.
PROCESS ARGUMENT.

DRINK.
Lol my guy this is the chance to rebut the evidence that they’ve presented against Trump.
Schoen is saying that “withholding” the new security camera footage was a violation of Trump’s due process rights

BUT the rules say that all the evidence admitted into the record after you’re done has to be seen by both sides beforehand

He’s seen it now. That counts.
Oh. Okay so Schoen is going to argue, as I predicted, that the use of media reports by the prosecution as a lack of evidence

Way to insist that the prosecution call upon witnesses to testify!!

https://t.co/ZMksgGoA0d
Like...is this a bluff? Is Schoen baiting the managers into calling witnesses?

Because he’s saying that the media footage was manipulated and “false representations of tweets”!
Oh my god. We’re really gonna do a “ZOOM ENHANCE!!” right now??

And yes it is a recreation of a tweet because the president got his account nuked!!
IF THE TWEET HAS A TYPO, FROM YOUR MIND YOU MUST WIPE-O
Wait. Wait. Wait. So...your defense. Is to show the parts of Trump’s speech where he issues a veiled threat to members of Congress while directing people to go to the Capitol to fight.
I’m. Screaming.

“We are going to show you another super cut of speeches that did not result in an attack on Congress” is a hell of a defense
“An impeachment trial is actually a law against free speech” is a hell of a defense
“The Constitution has limits on Congress’s impeachment powers that aren’t in the text” is a hell of a defense
“Please ignore the part where he says that no one who violates the constitution and the laws should be secure” is a hell of a defense

“Congressional debates are the exact same as Trump lying about the election being stolen” is a hell of a defense
“The House managers didn’t cite Supreme Court cases irrelevant to their argument in their brief” is a hell of a defense

“Trump can’t have incited the mob if they were too dumb to understand his speech on Jan. 6 was all about peace and primary elections” is a hell of a defense
“The violence on Jan. 6 was preplanned during the months that the former president, my client, was falsely insisting that the election was stolen and encouraging his supporters to protect him” is a hell of an arguemnt
“It’s impossible my client’s words were misunderstood when after he spoke the crowd then attacked Congress” is a hell of an argument
“My client’s stream of conscious bouncing back and forth between topics means you can’t discern any real meaning in his words” is a hell of a defense
“My client was only encouraging his supporters to throw you out of office if you didn’t overturn the election, so that the next Congress can do just that” is a hell of a defense.

“Democrats saying that the goal is to keep Trump from running again shows that they’re trying to keep Trump from running again” is a hell of a defense

Enough! Reporters doing it again. Both-sidesing. U enable Trump's propaganda by doing this

Reporter's both-sides question:

"What was your role in what happened at the Capitol?

Proper question:

"Are you going to take responsibility for your role in inciting insurrection?"


The press enabled the storming of the Capitol because they never held GOP accountable for pushing #TheBigLie that election was stolen

I have been yelling about this for months. Starting here where @TerryMoran got it right

But after press returned to form


Not long after Nov 4th press started both-sidesing again. Question Republicans were asked over & over was:

"Do u think Biden won?"

This enabled the coup

The proper question at minimum:

"Why are u enabling this charade? Why are u spreading


After repeatedly yelling that press wasn't demanding answers of GOP for spreading #TheBigLie I hoped this political violence on Dec 10th would finally get press to demand answers. But no. They continued to both-sides


I noted how impotent the American press was acting by treating #TheBigLie as credible. The press is supposed to hold people in power accountable, but beside @TerryMoran on election night, they by and large

The clearest lens through which I view the 1776 Report, Trump's apologia in response to the 1619 Project, is the same lens for viewing our overall political divisions: one of competing theories of American Exceptionalism:

Is America exceptional? How? Why? 1/x

The 1776 Report postulates that America is _inherently_ exceptional. We don't have to do anything in particular to be exceptional, and we remain exceptional no matter what we've done. It's deeply interwoven with white Christianity: a faith in inevitability of God's plan. 2/x

This religious inevitability of exceptionalism sharpens a lot about the Trump phenomenon, probably often confused for white supremacy, when it's really religious conviction. America simply can't lose, and they're defending America against critics, naysayers, and threats. 3/x

Trump's loss has caused complete disorientation. They view their faith as being challenged. They rise up in fulfillment of prophecy. They exegete the Constitution as sacred text for God's plan to keep Trump in office. They become apocalyptic at the end times. 4/x

But if the Constitution is their Old Testament, the 1776 Report is their gospel. It's important to distill the kernel of their faith: America is, always has been, and always will be inherently exceptional. That's what underlies the right's patriotic correctness. 5/x

Donald Trump has repeatedly disavowed David Duke, Richard Spencer, white supremacists, the KKK, and neo-nazis, etc. since well before 2000 These people and groups have nothing to do with Trump or his supporters, but Democrats simply refuse to hear

There are many more examples as shown in the above video, but here are 15 times that Donald Trump has denounced white supremacists, the KKK, neo-nazis, David Duke, and racists of all types, etc., etc. ...


The FACTS are that Donald Trump is NOT a racist nor has he ever been a

Joe Biden, HOWEVER, is an actual bona fide racist. A life long racist in fact. Read the following FULL thread for an good accounting (with documentation!) of Joe's 50-year long political history of being a racist and of supporting


Do you know that white supremacist Richard Spencer endorsed Joe Biden for president ... TWICE! Clearly he knows a fellow racist when he sees one and he clearly sees one in

So when it first appeared in Normandy, the Sherman Firefly and it's meaty 17 pounder represented an ideal combo of reliable chassis, great gun and devastating firepower right?

Ummm...

Truth is a bit more complex. /1
#WW2 #SWW #History


Deliveries of Firefly to units only commenced in April 1944,
just a few weeks before Overlord & left minimal time for familiarisation.

Armoured Regiments mostly utilised Fireflies on a basis of 1 per troop of 4 tanks. /2


Finally each armoured regiment troop had access to integral, meaty, anti-tank firepower capable of dealing serious damage to any German AFV likely to be encountered. /3


The dual purpose 75mm gun was quite capable of laying down a reasonable HE shell or AP round for dealing with Panzer III or IV.

Firefly's 17 Pounder had.... problems with HE, but excelled at tank killing. So Tigers and Panthers would need to be wary. /4


Firefly's design history dated back to March 1943 when the General Staff published "Policy on Tanks" which effectively stated the majority of tanks should have a good HE weapon and...

THE LAST STAND OF PAVAN KHIND - THE 300 BATTLE OF INDIA

A long🧵that u must read

In desperate times, great men come forth. Those men who are ready to sacrifice all of their lives work for a single cause.

Baji Prabhu Deshpande is one such man.

1/25


Battle was between the Maratha Warrior Baji Prabhu Deshpande and Sidi Masoud of Adil Shahi Sultanate.

In 1660, the Maratha King Shri Chhatrapati Shivaji was trapped in the fort of Panhala, under siege and vastly outnumbered by an Adilshahis army led by Sidi Masoud.

2/25

And while everyone is thinking that finally the Maratha king will be subdued, Shivaji planned to escape to the fort of Vishalgadh. It was administered by a Maratha chieftain named Range Narayan Orpe under Shivaji.

3/25

For months the siege warfare continued as Shivaji made sure that the food source of the Besieging army drops down, due to which they will initiate a general assault on the castle.

4/25

Shivaji, Baji Prabhu, and around 600 of their best troops, hardened mountaineers of the Maval region, would dash through the Adilshahis force at night.

A man named Shiva Kashid, who resembled Shivaji in appearance, had volunteered to dress like the king and get captured.

A brief analysis and comparison of the CSS for Twitter's PWA vs Twitter's legacy desktop website. The difference is dramatic and I'll touch on some reasons why.

Legacy site *downloads* ~630 KB CSS per theme and writing direction.

6,769 rules
9,252 selectors
16.7k declarations
3,370 unique declarations
44 media queries
36 unique colors
50 unique background colors
46 unique font sizes
39 unique z-indices

https://t.co/qyl4Bt1i5x


PWA *incrementally generates* ~30 KB CSS that handles all themes and writing directions.

735 rules
740 selectors
757 declarations
730 unique declarations
0 media queries
11 unique colors
32 unique background colors
15 unique font sizes
7 unique z-indices

https://t.co/w7oNG5KUkJ


The legacy site's CSS is what happens when hundreds of people directly write CSS over many years. Specificity wars, redundancy, a house of cards that can't be fixed. The result is extremely inefficient and error-prone styling that punishes users and developers.

The PWA's CSS is generated on-demand by a JS framework that manages styles and outputs "atomic CSS". The framework can enforce strict constraints and perform optimisations, which is why the CSS is so much smaller and safer. Style conflicts and unbounded CSS growth are avoided.
