It's the most wonderful tiiiiime of the yeeeear đđ
It's time for 2 hours of Putin's squirrely bullshit.
Putin spent the last 5 minutes reaffirming that Coronavirus happened, it's a thing, everybody dealt with it, and when you think about it, it really hasn't been that bad!
Like any good bureaucrat (and make no mistake, Putin is a great bureaucrat) he is filibustering with facts that sound good, while not addressing the bad facts (but waving to the the fact that other fact may exist, but you are really focusing on the wrong thing).
Being in a relationship with this man must be a complete, uninterrupted mindf---
Putin projects mastery of the facts while also delivering it in a boring way so you tune out and say "He seems like he has it." And he does it for everything from agriculture markets to fomenting frozen conflicts -- making it seem like just another boring thing.

Lusk speaking about "the danger of Christians claiming privilege within the state and the persecution of Christians which that led to...
If you have a political system which gives privilege to Christians then that system have to define what a Christian is"
Paynter: "If Christians are pursuing political power, what ... they are essentially saying is that might makes right."
Lusk: 1/ "The basic problem w/a religious right is that it says that the state has been established by God to enforce law & all law has a religious basis."
Lusk: 2/ "And therefore whatever the state does must reflect a religious position. And therefore if there are diverse religious positions at work, then the inevitable result is that one will oppress the other."
Lusk: "To say we are post-Christian does not mean we are ex-Christian ... Although Christain belief is a small minority, certainly our culture, our values, our system- these are very much part of a Christian heritage and sensibility which is inherited."

A Christian who doesn't think the church should have a privileged voice in the public square? Isn't that like a turkey voting for Christmas? Listen to the new episode of our podcast #GunsandGod, with @HelenEPaynter & @matthew_feldman with guest Paul Lusk.https://t.co/O3t2C41gsM

Trump voters, u can call any US Senator or any US Representative from any State or US Congressional district. You do not need to be living in the state or the congressional district to call any elected official. Also leave voicemails! All elected officials are accountable to us!

Pashinyan spoke in the parliament amid opposition protest outside of the building. He answered the question of the deputies.
(Pashinyan's block holds the absolute majority in parliament)
Only the people can speak on behalf of the people, not separate groups - Pashinyan
Voices of individual groups cannot be considered the voice of the people - Pashinyan
It is not the media who decide who the prime minister is, people decide - Pashinyan
The question arises as to why the opposition does not demand early elections. Why do political forces have only one goal - to decide without the will of the people? Pashinyan

A few noteworthy things came out of a legislative committee meeting today.
First, we learned Albertaâs chief electoral officer asked the govât for a four-month extension for a complex investigation during the pandemic. The government said no. #ableg
https://t.co/CJtx0vFGkG
Elections AB wonât say what the case is the timelines suggest it could be the investigation into the UCP leadership race. The office has handed out more than $200,000 in fines connected with election financing irregularities in the 2017 race.
Several people have appealed those fines and findings to the court.
You may also recall leaked documents suggested Jason Kenney and Jeff Callawayâs leadership campaigns shared strategy and information https://t.co/NX91cdQQsN
And the RCMP are investigating. #ableg
The NDP says the government needs to come clean about whether it turned down the chief electoral officerâs application to extend the time to investigate the governing party.
#ableg
Also at todayâs committee meeting, seven independent officers of the legislature had their budgets up for approval. The committee approved six of them.
MLA Brad Rutherford then moved to delay a decision about the auditor generalâs budget. He says he wants more information. #ableg

Lack of confidence in this year's election outcome is a real problem--steadfastly ignored by too many. I've said *state legislators* are appropriate body to address fraud w/in their borders. Here's the promised longer thread on fraud. /1 #ElectoralCollege
Disclaimer: I am not taking âfraud happenedâ or âfraud didnât happenâ side. I am answering those who've asked me how fraud can be addressed in #ElectoralCollege if/when it occurs. In an earlier thread I said congressmen are limited in what they can do.
As a foundational matter: I believe the problems started this summer when Governors began unilaterally changing election procedures, without legislative input. This was wrong. STATE LEGISLATURES are responsible for election laws. /3 #ElectoralCollege
This truth holds especially true in presâl elections. #ElectoralCollege looks to *state legislatures* to be responsible for their states. The buck always stops w/ state legislators. Thus, 1st mistake made by too many legislators was a failure to push back on Govs this summer. /4
We have THREE branches of government. Why have we ignored #RuleofLaw all year? Why are Govs creating law when thatâs the legislatureâs job? How unsurprising that people distrust the election outcome after months & months of thumbing our noses @ Rule of Law. /5 #ElectoralCollege
Almost half (47%) of American voters believe there was enough fraud to ensure Biden would win in the recent elections, including 75% of Republicans & 30% of Democrats. Please retweet. https://t.co/8JGddENZGI

THREAD: I haven\u2019t said much about the #ElectoralCollege this week, despite two decades of studying the system, because I needed time to formulate my thoughts on some of what we are watching. /1
