Yeah it sucks to not have him here (and losing a bunch of friends in the purge sucks) but it’s proof positive that it’s part of the plan.
Need some good news?
Here’s a list of all the reasons I believe there’s still hope!
Follow along and let me know if I missed anything!

You don’t see flat-earthers and UFO accounts banned - it’s not because they’re wrong it’s because they’re not a threat.
This tells me that someone still fee threatened, enough to go to great lengths and expense to protect themselves.
Thing is - MAGA is gone from DC. Who are they afraid of?
Up until now they haven’t been allowed to, and now that the “fight is over” they ARE armed?
Doesn’t add up. There’s another chapter in this story.
They know as well as we do that Trump didn’t incite violence, yet they’re saying he’s going to start a nuclear war.
PANIC in DC. He’s not done yet.
If 1/10th of what Sidney Powell has said is true, that’s enough to fill the depends in all of DC.
This is the nervous center of US offensive military force and is the headquarters of the US Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM).
You don’t go there to hide. You go there to FIGHT!
“Watch what’s going to come out in the next couple weeks. Watch what is going to be revealed.”
No one likes waiting, but the ultimate crime of Election Fraud has just been committed.
Does that sound like someone who’s about to turn the White House over to a geriatric socialist pawn? Hell no!
We know that “the only way is the military” but Trump has tried to do it the east way first.
Now comes the hard way. Now comes pain.
He never said the word concede. He never said Joe Biden. He never said he was done fighting.
He only mentions “transfer of power to next administration.”
Based on the wording of his speech, it’s totally possible that he was trolling the DS media and still staying on brand.
From a dude with his level of experience and intel, I’m betting he knows something we don’t.
More from Trump
Picking up on @henryfarrell's comments here, one implication of my work on democratic breakdown is that the US should harshly punish GOP leaders who attempted to keep Trump in power despite losing the election and fomented insurrection to advance that effort. 1/n
I wrote a book a decade ago that used game theory to explore the ways democracies die and what that tells us about how and why they sometimes survive. 2/n
One implication of the formal model in that book is that normative commitments to democracy may matter less than expectations about the benefits and costs of trying to subvert democracy. 3/n
It's great when all the major players (ruling party, opposition party, and military) believe democracy is good in itself. If they don't, tho, then what matters most are their beliefs about how easily they can seize power and how costly it would be to try and fail. 4/n
I think it's pretty clear that many key players in the GOP don't see democracy as a good in itself ("we're a republic, not a democracy"). So that shifts their attention to their ability to usurp power and the costs of trying and failing. 5/n
1. Short thread - on the various claims we're seeing from Republican politicians over the last few days that the Democratic push for accountability is "divisive." Damn right it's divisive - that is what it has to be.

Good to see the paper of record highlighting this important national news story that we’ve been covering at @theintercept for the past eight months.
Going to provide some links and info for those who might be interested in reading more on the topic.
In June, a trove of hacked law enforcement documents was posted online. I went through hundreds of those files to look at how law enforcement was treating antifa/anarchists vs groups on the far right.
Part of the reason I did this was because we had already published reporting showing that the NYPD was using a curfew in response to the George Floyd protests to hand over demonstrators to the FBI for questioning. Antifa was a subject of the interviews.
You can find that original reporting here: https://t.co/7vD7QuNLZP
And in more depth here:
As expected, the analysis of the docs posted online showed extensive law enforcement emphasis on antifa/anarchists even amid detailed evidence of threats and action from far right groups, including the murder of law enforcement

I’m torn on how to approach the idea of luck. I’m the first to admit that I am one of the luckiest people on the planet. To be born into a prosperous American family in 1960 with smart parents is to start life on third base. The odds against my very existence are astronomical.
I’ve always felt that the luckiest people I know had a talent for recognizing circumstances, not of their own making, that were conducive to a favorable outcome and their ability to quickly take advantage of them.
In other words, dumb luck was just that, it required no awareness on the person’s part, whereas “smart” luck involved awareness followed by action before the circumstances changed.
So, was I “lucky” to be born when I was—nothing I had any control over—and that I came of age just as huge databases and computers were advancing to the point where I could use those tools to write “What Works on Wall Street?” Absolutely.
Was I lucky to start my stock market investments near the peak of interest rates which allowed me to spend the majority of my adult life in a falling rate environment? Yup.

"Luck is the flip side of risk. They are mirrored cousins, driven by the same thing: You are one person in a 7 billion player game, and the accidental impact of other people\u2019s actions can be more consequential than your own."
