1/ How do we prevent the next grifter-in-chief and stop Congress from enabling criminals in government?

2/ Trump and McConnell are both pushing pardons. Trump wants pardons for his criminal cronies, enablers, and children. McConnell wants pardons for meat packing plants and corporate criminals.

3/ Although past presidents have had family members working for them - Attorney General Bobby Kennedy is a famous example - none have ever had to pardon their family members for criminal activity in the White House. Until Trump.

4/ Trump’s family of grifters have been extracting money from our government and the American people since day one, starting with the inaugural fund scandal. Just since he lost the election. Trump has raised over $170, million: the grift continues!

5/ Trump has sold out our country and our values. He’s given top-secret information to foreign adversaries, embraced dictators and autocrats around the world, and enthusiastically damaged our relationships with allies. It’s almost as if he’s working for a foreign government.

Is this our moment in time? Here we are, and here is not that good for us. We are at the end of our Republic. The mechanism that controls our republican form of government has broken. It has been corroded by the corruption of a generation of greed.

On the face of it, this looks good, govt extending the Seasonal Agricultural Workers' visa scheme from 10,000 to 30,000 to address lack of labour for farming industry after the end of Free Movement.
Here's grinchy Zoe to explain why it's bad. Sorry...

Until now, most seasonal agricultural work was taken on by migrants benefitting from the right to Freedom of Movement in the EU. This meant they could come, pick on this farm, move to that farm with the changing harvest, switch into other work, basically just live.

With the end of Free Mov the Home Office insists less & less convincingly that all lower-paid work our industries need can be covered by the domestic work force.

The "pick for Britain" drive to get British workers into these jobs was a car wreck, filling just 15% of vacancies.

So, yes. There is an urgent need for an alternative source of probably migrant labour to pick, sort and package food on British farms from January.

Two years ago they introduced a pilot visa scheme for this, originally to bring over 2,500 workers for 6 months at a time.

One year ago they extended and expanded the "pilot" scheme to 10,000 workers. There was of course no evaluation of the pilot's success before this expansion, no consultation with expert groups, no evaluation of the risks of the scheme (which I'll explain, are many).

Let me make this clear @Douglas4Moray. THE COURTS not THE GOVERNMENT and NOT PARLIAMENT are masters of law and THE ONLY ONES ALLOWED TO INTERPRET IT. Parliament makes laws, The courts interpret them. Government and Parliament DO NOT SIT ABOVE THE COURTS. They sit EQUAL TO THEM.

This is to stop Governments and Parliaments from going off on one and becoming a full dictatorship. Only a court can rule something lawful or unlawful. I'm surprised that as a member of parliament you do not understand this very simple concept.

Inherent in the right to vote is the right not to vote. That is your choice if you opt not to vote in a referendum and the Tories boycott it. BUT LET ME BE CRYSTAL CLEAR - IF THE COURTS DETERMINE (and your panic shows how good our case is) THAT IT IS LAWFUL FOR HOLYROOD...

...TO LEGISLATE FOR A SECOND REFERENDUM WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF WESTMINSTER (#PEOPLESAS30) then your "boycott" is NOT a "boycott" - It would not delegitimise the vote. Only the courts get to decide what is lawful or unlawful. Not you or your tory cronnies.

The courts having said a referendum WOULD BE LAWFUL would mean that IT WOULD BE YOU WILFULLY MAKING THE CHOICE NOT TO VOTE IN THAT REFERENDUM - IT WOULD BE THE FREE EXERCISE OF YOUR RIGHT NOT TO VOTE, INHERENT IN THE RIGHT TO VOTE! - YOU'LL HAVE MADE THE CHOICE COGNISANT OF...

A thread.
on Solarwinds. you all have seen information on this?
If not, please see @truthserum4all and work your way through their postings. Great information.
Our Government is compromised. That's a fact. our governments are compromised. see @TexasWhiteHats2 @Johnheretohelp

Can I just point out that it has been admitted that the British & US government told us masks made no difference because they didn’t have enough even though they knew this wasn’t true

Like this is fact not even speculation. Healthcare workers didn’t have PPE there wasn’t enough to go to them and the public so they told the public masks had no scientific evidence behind them so people would stop buying them

The conspiracy theories wind me up so much because of this exact point. The truth is equally scandalous we don’t need some 5G theory

The arrogance of the west has caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands, desecrated the economy & caused a mental health crisis. There’s no conspiracy theory you can create that is worse than the actual truth of what’s happened this year.

America and the UK was warned about an impending pandemic at the beginning of January - they both chose to ignore it, they had time to start buying PPE in January, they didn’t. When they started making PPE instead of giving it to their citizens they sold it to China.

The UK government's only strategy for some time - and this goes for everything, not just the pandemic - is leaking vague policy plans to trusted journos and letting the speculation outrage simmer to guage public reactions before committing to anything.

It happens so consistently that it simply must be be their core PR policy, and you just know they're very smug about how effective it is (note: it isn't).

This generation of Tories, as we've talked about before, have the concept of social engineering built into their ideology. It's their one guiding principle: you don't ever admit what you want, you just convince people they want it too.

It's all about manipulation and optics. It sort-of-kind-of worked with Brexit, in that it got them a result that brought them to power, but they've run up against the basic inertia of reality since.

As the wrestler Scott Steiner once put it in an interview, "You can't make chicken salad out of chicken shit."

1. Another thing that Progressives have to get back is the whole "This person is good vs. this person is bad" mindset. America is a white supremacist country, which inherently means even the most well meaning politicians will have to disappoint eventually. But a lot of

2. Progressives don't seem to understand this. Like, for some reason people thought Obama was going to be a super-leftist, when he ran on working with folks with opposing views. Then y'all thought Bernie was going to spend fight the establishment (despite his history applauding

4. You keep projecting your ideas on th3se folks instead of living in the real world. Politics isn't about who is good or who is bad, it's about getting shit done. Point blank. That's literally all it comes down to. And any elected official who has to govern a country that

5. Believes Obama is a secret Muslim, covid doesn't exist and that we should build a wall to keep out the foreigners probably aren't going to be lectured about your calls for equality and fairness, because at th end of the day, most of this electorate is still shitty. And like

Cardano and Elrond communites have always been on friendly terms and there is plenty of space for both to coexist.

I want to address some inaccuracies in @matiwinnetou's recent post.

👇Read the thread👇

1. The governance model on Elrond will be launched during 2021 Q2, and the ethos and spirit is the same as Cardano. To give governance power to the token holders.

2. Three years of development and plenty of external audits such as Trial of bits, hackers invited to break the network during BoN and 1400 validators strees testing for an extended period of time ensures that the network is secure.

3. Many Blockchains are only one company. Elrond Foundation is currently bootstrapping the Network, but will gradually hand over governance to the holders thus enabling decentralization

4. On-Chain upgrades have already been successfully performed both on the mainnet and on the public testnet. Elrond's hardfork detection mechanism has been thoroughly tested in Battle of Nodes under severe adversarial conditions.

Government Funded False Flag Attacks

Finally got around to listening to Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee's Monday news conference, and *** I AM SO CONFUSED!!! *** 1/

On one hand, Lee told reporters that he did not impose a mask mandate because statewide mandates don't work, that people will only listen to their local elected officials. 2/

"A trusted voice in their community is their local official, the people that they elected to be their leaders," Lee argued. 3/

But, in Nashville where the local officials HAVE imposed a mask mandate, Lee said: "We know that people don't wear masks even when there's a mandate." 4/

So even local mask mandates don't work? 5/

Well, Kukah is a bishop, Perhaps he sees and hears things mere mortals can't see.He said there could have been a coup if Buhari were not the president.

The idea is that Buhari's sins and incompetence necessitate a military coup. Kukah is a bishop, otherwise, I would have said he is serpentine. Regardless of how well or badly Buhari might have functioned, the suggestion of the probability or propriety of a coup is mischievous.

But Kukah is a bishop so I won't say he is a trouble maker. Let's just say he is mistaken. In 2018, Kukah resurrected Atiku and helped cleanse him of political leprosy. It was in desperation to unseat Buhari. Kukah and company lost woefully.

Today, Kukah, the democrat, is talking about a coup. When the bible forbids certain things it says, let it not be heard amongst you. One would think that a coup is a word that shouldn't ever come out of Kukah's mouth.

The coup Kukah is hinting about would have been staged by a section of the country to correct Fulani nepotism or domination, right? Kukah is the leader of the peace committee but here he was throwing firewood into the fire in the name of telling the truth.
