When I say Trump is not special, I mean his politics fall comfortably on a spectrum between neocons and Tea Party Republican and his preening reality TV persona and alternating gleeful and sulking narcissism are fairly typical for that type of conservative.

Trump's only innovation was to unapologetically say the quiet part out loud and get away with it, bringing the GOP's racism, misogyny, and desire for white supremacist, monarchal rule to the forefront, but Republicans and the media were eager to enable him from the start.

It could have been anyone, though. You can see guys like Jim Jordan and even Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham wish they'd done it first. Because the GOP and their rabid white supremacist base were fully primed for someone to come along and say and do what Trump did.

Once Trump won, the entire GOP folded into Trumpism overnight because there was never any practical difference between them. The early worriers like Graham merely feared it wouldn't work and there would be a political price to pay. It turns out: not really. The base ate it up.

The media spent about a year trying to spin Trump as a continuation of "respectable" Republicanism or in tension with them before they caught on that conservatives didn't care and just started repeating his lies with a shrug.

A message from a Republican leader and an iconic figure in our culture, who gets it, and maybe might pierce thru the fever dream too many fell into.

That is, please also share it with those co-workers, friends and family who don't realize the stakes of what is going on, and the near-miss to our democracy of what just played out.

In sifting thru video, I have seen not just the stupid things we all saw like the selfies and literally crapping on the floor. But people need to understand that there was also a harder, darker part...

The crowd chanting "Hang Mike Pence, Hang Mike Pence" as they stormed the police line looking for him (Note: his wife and daughter was also there with him),

officers literally crying in physical pain as the mass of the crowd did a coordinated "heave-ho" to physically crush them with their combined body mass, officers beaten and one killed with a fire extinguisher blow to the head...

In the NY Times today, I argue w/ @brianbeutler that a Civil War amendment to the Constitution--barring those who've "engaged in insurrection" from holding office--authorizes a broader response, one that goes beyond impeachment and beyond Trump

Congress should use its power under the 14th Amendment to pass a law blocking the instigators and perpetrators of last week’s siege of the Capitol--including but not limited to Trump--from holding office ever again.

This would be a complement, not a substitute, for impeachment.

Even during the Civil War, the traitors never breached our Capitol. On Wednesday, they did. They paraded the Confederate battle flag through its halls, halted the electoral vote count, and upended the peaceful transfer of power with

As we respond, we should draw from the lessons of preceding generations--including those who drafted the Constitution's Fourteenth Amendment during what Reconstruction historian Eric Foner calls America's "Second

The Framers of the 14th Amendment arrived at a consensus that we sadly find ourselves needing to enforce again: Those who swear an oath to defend our Constitution but then betray that sacred oath by participating in an insurrection cannot be permitted to hold public office again.

We're keeping track of state & local elected officials who participated in the insurrection. If you want to run against them (or if they resign -- as they should! -- & there's a special election), @runforsomething will help you. https://t.co/0Op0rhvfxv

PM @narendramodi's vision 'sabka saath sabka vikas', reflects in #JalJeevanMission to provide assured tap water supply to every rural household by 2024.

#JJM is implemented in partnership with States to ‘improve quality of life’ & enhance ‘ease of living’.

@PMOIndia

To fulfill the aspirations of every family to have piped water supply in their home, #JalJeevanMission aims to provide tap water connection to every rural household by 2024 so that people do not have to wait in a queue to fetch water or depend on tankers/ trains during summers.

#JalJeevanMission aims for universal coverage of all rural households by following the principle of ‘equity and inclusiveness’, i.e. every family in the village gets tap water connection and ‘no one is left behind’.

@PMOIndia @gssjodhpur

Under #JalJeevanMission, every family, irrespective of their socio-economic background, to have an assured piped water supply in their home. The principle is ‘no one is left out’.

@NC_Governor let me tell you something you son of a bitch. I’m not even going to get into a “political discussion” here because that is a whole issue which I’m not going to waste time on right now but where do you get the fuckin balls to use an Incident that the “Radical Left...

This Thread is about the biasedness & selective censorship of Social Media Platforms during the time of riots.

We need to take social media seriously because we already have seen how these platforms influence people during US Elections.

Please read this.

Summary:

Protestors started their rally towards Red Fort

Had Lethal Weapons, beat Police, Damaged Public Property

Tried to ran over them by Tractors
Reached Red Fort, destroyed everything & Unfurled the Khalistani Flag

More than 300 Delhi Police Officials got injured

Narrative:

As always, the Left Naxals started spreading fake news to create hatred. To counter them, the Indic Wing started showing the other side of the news (correct news)

Since, the issue became so serious, the posts reached a lot of people, but the problem started...

(3)

when the post of INDIC WING accounts started getting removed by SM platforms.

Let’s start with Instagram

(4)

Instagram Accounts

In the pic, you can see the no of posts of Indic Wing accounts being deleted.

Uploading Videos of police getting beaten mob is spreading hatred or spreading truth?

This is how SM Platforms suppress voice of anyone who isn’t part of Left Brigade.

VERITAS INVESTIGATION INTO VOTER FRAUD LEADS TO ARREST.

For those who say "nothing matters" this is for you.

For those in the news media who says there is no such thing as voter fraud and what we do is nothing more than an attempt to "undermine elections," TAKE A SEAT!

There needs to be a mass movement of political maturation. People are obviously encouraged to move at the pace which best suits them, but it is concerning, to say the least, that people closer to 40 are still impressed by political pageantry over policy.

Now what pace is that? Progress is all but stalled when you’re more agitated by the truth than the lies you’ve been led to believe and repeat about misleadership in this country.

Perhaps you aren’t interested or invested in an equitable society where the poor and working class represent themselves. But it truly should eat away at you that you’re fine being corralled into repression and subjugation by “your” government.

The emphasis we place on political education is not symbolic or even an attempt to rewrite history. It allows us to see what methods Black revolutionaries used, but also to see how the government subverted and destroyed their movements.

They saying is “history doesn’t repeat, but it rhymes”. Many people were exhibiting their first term Obama jubilation. What we know happened next is the justification for why those pipes in Flint were never fixed, why so many extrajudicial killings of Black people happened etc.

This is such BS

The storming of the Capitol was just the latest in a long line of examples in which Trump's supporters took him LITERALLY.

At least 87 ppl were killed by right-wing terrorists in the first 3 years of Trump b/c they took him LITERALLY https://t.co/FEmOzv6Kxj

Here are other examples of right-wing terrorists being inspired by Trump's rhetoric

AUGUST 2015: 2 brothers beat a homeless man in Boston with a metal pipe who they believed to be an undocumented immigrant. “Donald Trump was right,” they told police.

3/ OCTOBER 2016: 3 men arrested for plotting a series of bomb attacks against Somali-Americans in Kansas.

Two of the three men were Trump supporters who shared his anti-immigrant views.

4/ MAY 2017: A University of Maryland student accused of stabbing a black U.S. Army lieutenant to death apparently liked memes about Donald Trump, white supremacy, and the alt-right.

5/ AUGUST 2017: Members of a far-right militia bombed the Dar Al-Farooq Islamic Center in Bloomington, MN in an effort “to scare” Muslims.

By provoking an insurrection, Donald Trump may have accomplished what none of his previous actions could: splitting the Republican Party. This creates a major opportunity for Dems, and the latest Washington Monthly explains how they can seize it. /1

Sizable minorities of GOP voters believe Trump incited the siege—28 % according to YouGov, 41 percent according to Morning Consultant. And an astonishing 25 % of those who voted for Trump in November want him removed from office now, according to an Avalanche Insights poll. /2

To capture at least a small share of these Republicans, Dems need ideas that can help these voters feel welcome. Their current platform, a logical progression of platforms past, wasn't enough to win decisively in 2020 and probably won’t be enough to save their majority in 2022./3

In the latest issue of the Washington Monthly, we outline three ideas that can help Democrats convert erstwhile Republicans without abandoning progressive principles. 4/

First, Daniel Block argues that Joe Biden should prioritize liberating local governments from a variety of state and federal restrictions imposed on them by Trump and the GOP. Doing so will have policy advantages.../5

1/ Woke up to find Arnold Schwarzenegger released a powerful video regarding recent events, revealing personal pain having growing up with an abusive father. He skirted around the details.

This is what he’s done all his life in order to ascend to power.

In the 80’s we all knew.

2/ Before the internet it was hard to track down info, but there were fewer political elites, people knew each other-secrets couldn’t be kept, they left paper trails, many Nazis were still alive and victims who witnessed events confirmed relationships.

Schwarzenegger had a plan.

3/ He said once when young and not yet living in the US, his aim was to to move here, marry into an elite family and govern. He did just that.

He used bodybuilding as an entry into crappy sci fi films,acting became a ladder. He campaigned for Reagan, networked the Rep pol clique

4/ Meeting Maria Shriver he saw his chance to snake his way into a important politically connected family, he used her to ascend then discarded her.

Since the bodybuilding years he was known as a notorious womanizer, a habit which never stopped during the marriage, or after.

5/ He was also known for admiring Hitler, and smoking pot (a pol career killer) as seen in the 1977 documentary Pumping Iron and the outakes. In 1991 he paid 1.5mil for the film rights, purchased from producer director George Butler,to sanitize history by editing out the bad bits

@NickNYIslesMets @kiki_cliff @Peaceforus21 @NYCMayor As you say it is unclear but there is little to no legal precedent other than two instances in recorded history the Supreme Court because of how the Constitution is laid out properly and it is written pretty strongly i don't believe at all they will rule anything.

@kiki_cliff @Peaceforus21 @NYCMayor As a constitution spreads out as interpretive only incumbents a tool that was used literally so America's impeachment law would not be used against private citizens. It is highly unlikely with little to no chance that the Supreme Court will give congressional power that way.

@kiki_cliff @Peaceforus21 @NYCMayor More likely they will refuse to hear the case.

@kiki_cliff @Peaceforus21 @NYCMayor And you have the conservative majority so

@kiki_cliff @Peaceforus21 @NYCMayor As a betting man I would say odds are like I said Above This impeachment is Dead on Arrival the Democrats know this that's why they're going to try to delay even sending the Articles to the Senate not back until the 19th.
Trump will go free and be entitled to all of his benefits.
