On November 1, 1982, (Yes, 1982) a document was filed in a New Jersey court. This document, or at the very least its history, is something we need to be aware of. It was a CONSENT DECREE entered into between the DNC and the RNC.

A 7th wee Election Integrity 🧵👇🏻

In 1981, there was a group of Republicans in New Jersey calling themselves the “National Ballot Security Task Force.” As alleged by the Democratic National Committee in a lawsuit they filed against the RNC in Feb of 1982, this group got up to election shenanigans.

According to the DNC, the National Ballot Security Task Force sent mail to Black and Hispanic people with the instruction for the post office to not forward any mail undelivered to the original address, but rather return it to sender (them).

They then used the returned mail to create a list of voters to challenge during the general election. They got around 45,000 names for their challenge list. They then took those lists to Commissioners of Registration and asked that those names be removed from voter rolls.

This means if a Black voter changed addresses and the RNC found out about it, they tried to prevent them from voting. Bad, right? It gets worse, because they also hired county deputy sheriffs and local police officers to patrol the targeted Black and Hispanic polling places.

They put up signs warning the area was being patrolled by National Ballot Security Task Force, they wore armbands and guns. They stopped and questioned prospective voters and harassed and physically restrained poll workers.

This isn’t just voter suppression, it’s intimidation.

The DNC went as far as to call them an ‘Army of workers’ in the complaint. You can read the complaint in its entirety here. I suggest you do. It’s short and you will get the gist pretty quick. It is foundational for the next part of this thread.

I know, right?! Ok, so in the first tweet, I mentioned the words CONSENT DECREE. After the DNC brought that lawsuit against the RNC we just talked about up there 👆🏻, we arrive back where we started on November 1, 1982.

Here is the Consent Decree.

https://t.co/yccyXcPG8b

The Consent Decree is essentially the settlement agreement entered into between the DNC and RNC, and was submitted to the court. The RNC agreed to refrain from any ‘ballot security activities in polling places…

‘…or election districts where the racial…composition is a factor in decision…to deter qualified voters from voting.’
They also agreed to lose the armbands, the guns, the signs and they could no longer deputize private personnel as law enforcement.

Let’s recap. The Republicans tried to stop Black and Hispanic voters from voting through voter intimidation. They got caught. They entered into a Consent Decree to no longer show up to the polls with guns or show up dressed like an ‘Army’ to intimidate voters.

This was in 1982.

That Consent Decree had been in place for longer than some of you reading this have been alive. Joe…please tell me that you misspelled has…that you meant the Consent Decree ‘has’ been in place for longer than some of us have been alive.

I’m sorry, I wish I could...

On December 1, 2009, the Consent Decree was modified. One of the modifications was to set a date for the Consent Decree to expire on December 1, 2017. If the DNC could not show the RNC was in violation of the Consent Decree as modified, it would expire.

https://t.co/ExL7p1Y7s3

On Jan 18, 2018 a hearing was held via telephone. The DNC failed to convince the judge that the RNC was in violation and therefore the judge ruled that the Consent Decree would be expired. As of Dec 1, 2017, the RNC is no longer bound to the agreement.
https://t.co/yelqf4zB4v

Now let’s for a moment sit back, drop our gaze and come to the realization that the very next general election that would take place after the expiration of the Consent Decree on Dec 1, 2017 would be the 2020 Presidential election.

Take a deep breath. In…out…

The protections that had been in place since 1982 had all fallen by the wayside just in time for Hair Fewer’s re-election campaign. And the campaign seemed almost giddy about it. Enter trump campaign lawyer Justin Clark.

https://t.co/SwY1TIJaHZ

‘Army’ of poll watchers? End of a Consent Decree? Let’s start playing offense? Key precincts?

Well, it’s just the campaign lawyer saying that. It’s not like trump went on Hannity and talked specifically about having sheriffs and law enforchrissake👇🏻

https://t.co/47LNTcYqTS

jr. weighed in on that article.

Covid caused an increase in the use of mail-in ballots so less people were at the polls, therefore we didn’t see the National Ballot Security Task Force or whatever trump branded version of same.
Which means?

It means that the 2022 mid-terms will truly be the first test. States are forcing voters back to the polling sites by restricting or even eliminating mail-in ballot usage. There are no protections. But there are plenty of groups out there doing ‘Election Integrity’ work.

Election Integrity was recommended to RNC (📌1). The infrastructure is available. For instance, CPI’s Election Integrity Network, there’s True the Vote, trump has recently been referencing them at his rallies, and amicus briefer Honest Elections Project.
https://t.co/7EIQmxL3KD

Well…actually, Honest Election Project is a fictitious name. No I mean it, it is literally a fictitious name according to the VA Secy of State. The real name is something called the Judicial Education Project, except it isn’t that either it is the 85 Fund.

According to a @SenWhitehouse hearing on March 10, 2021, Honest Elections Project is tied to the GOP’s Supreme Court Justice conveyor belt Leonard Leo. Which, I imagine, means the HEP is probably pretty well funded. Or is it the Law and Policy forum?

https://t.co/8gIC6FAGTw

Are we equipped to deal with this? The GOP voted against HR1 which was a bill to actually have election integrity. 2 Dems wouldn’t change the legislative filibuster for this bill.

There is no Consent Decree in place to stop shenanigans.

📌1 - I’m sure if we just put our trust in the RNC to be cool, we’ll have nothing to worry about…

Except on August 11, 2021, the RNC chair received this report. 👇🏻🤦🏼‍♂️

None of this may not be top of mind for voters or reporters, but it really feels like it should be. The Election to Save Democracy is this November, confirm you’re registered and vote.

A distillation of what @naval said on Clubhouse last night:

What you call chaos I call spontaneity.

A regimented life is like a heartbeat that's non-chaotic; it's a system that’s too ordered. It doesn't have any life to it. And real life has lots of ups and downs, some of them very extreme.

I over-plan, but planning is pretty useless. What tends to dominant life are a small number of Black Swan events in both directions, positive and negative.

Expose yourself to asymmetric upside and lots of good options: things that can become massively important for you.

And you want to avoid the asymmetric downside: anything that can end the game, whether it's through financial ruin, or reputational ruin, or physical ruin.

That requires a certain amount of chaos and spontaneity.

If nothing else, 2020 taught the power of optionality.

We think about planning as linear and controlled, but that's not how the world around us works anymore.

The world is dominated by nonlinearities, so understanding options value is far more important.

If u are looking to enter a scrip just before the breakout
what would u look for?
How would u identify scrips just before breakout?

Here are a few pointers
Carefully understand the them and use at ur own discretion
(All comments r compiled from a question i posed)

1/23

Price is testing the same resistance repeatedly since long.
But now in recent times it's forming multiple candles near the same resistance with low volume.
Observe it and see for opposite move.
As soon as u get a positive candle, get in to it.

2/23

1. Volume buildup (vol > when resistance point created) along with, increase in OI, increase in delivery % on HTF
2. On LTF, price stalling around breakout area for at least 1-2hr.
3. No major events.

3/23

Stock reaching breakout LVL with HL-HH
Contraction of price and volume near it especially near 20 days ma.
If there is any breach of the latest HL it should be followed by a bullish candle with good volume.
Left side of the chart has a rally with a very steep slope of ma.

4/23

Number of wide range green bars with high volumes.
If stock is at its ATH then it adds more conviction bcz there wont b supply after that point

Consolidation below the resistance, volume of the candles & strong bullish candle closing at near highs just below the resistance

5/23

Trump is gonna let the Mueller investigation end all on it's own. It's obvious. All the hysteria of the past 2 weeks about his supposed impending firing of Mueller was a distraction. He was never going to fire Mueller and he's not going to

BREAKING: President Donald Trump has submitted his answers to questions from special counsel Robert Mueller
— Ryan Saavedra (@RealSaavedra) November 20, 2018

Mueller's officially end his investigation all on his own and he's gonna say he found no evidence of Trump campaign/Russian collusion during the 2016 election.

Democrats & DNC Media are going to LITERALLY have nothing coherent to say in response to that.

Mueller's team was 100% partisan.

That's why it's brilliant. NOBODY will be able to claim this team of partisan Democrats didn't go the EXTRA 20 MILES looking for ANY evidence they could find of Trump campaign/Russian collusion during the 2016 election

They looked high.

They looked low.

They looked underneath every rock, behind every tree, into every bush.

And they found...NOTHING.

Those saying Mueller will file obstruction charges against Trump: laughable.

What documents did Trump tell the Mueller team it couldn't have? What witnesses were withheld and never interviewed?

THERE WEREN'T ANY.

Mueller got full 100% cooperation as the record will show.

If there is one thing I have learned it is that people love bullshit. They buy bullshit stories from professional bullshit artists, accept bullshit philosophies, purchase bullshit how-to-books, vote for bullshitting politicians.

At first, I resisted believing this because it is illogical and dumb and frankly, doesn't reflect well on the human race of which I am a member (and thus have long been hopeful that it is more of a distinction than it actually turns out to be.)

But if you actually are interested in facts you begin to notice how little most people care for them. Sometimes it is because they are heard to learn and bullshit is so much more widely and easily available. Sometimes it is because facts make them uncomfortable about themselves.

Sometimes it is because just one tiny fact will upset a whole worldview that has grown as comfortable as an overstuffed chair. (Settling into such worldviews is a lot like settling into chairs like that because the longer you're there and the deeper you sink...

...the harder it is to hoist yourself up and out of your fat-assed intellectual laziness.) But I actually think the reason people have such an appetite for bullshit goes deeper, goes to an aspect of ourselves we just can't accept.

How you can filter stocks for Intraday trades - 🧵

As a kid, we would do homework before school the next day - you have to do homework here too. A specific sector performs on a particular day and studying things a day before will help you spot that particular sector. (1/11)

To prepare for the next trading day, you got to check the Index charts of all sectors. You got to keep an eye on a specific Index if you see a few factors:

- If any Index closed exactly at the resistance, you can get a trade on either side on the next day. (2/11)

- If it gave a rejection candle at resistance.

- If any Index closed exactly at support, you can get a trade on either side the following day.

- If there was a bullish signal at the support.

- If any Index gave a breakout or breakdown and then gave a good closing. (3/11)

- If any Index has taken support at 50 or 200 EMA.

Once you spot the Index, look at all the stocks in that particular Index. Pick at least 3-4 stocks from that Index and add them to your watchlist for the next day. It's ideal to check both higher and lower timeframes. (4/11)

What you should do next day? (When I am unable to check Indices and stocks a day before, I sometimes directly start with this process.)

- Start with checking the top gainers/losers list. I observe market from 9:15 to 9:45am to check the sectors performing well on that day.(5/11)
