You know what?

I *will* without a doubt regret this.

But I'm going to watch Mike Pence read out the last returns before I go to sleep.

Also.

FUCK YEAH, AMERICA!!!!
That was not sarcasm. Hell, I've got Lee damn Greenwood running through my head right now.
We had a no-kidding attempted coup today. One of the two guys who would have benefitted from that coup is standing in the chamber of the House - which was occupied by seditionists hours ago - signing off on his electoral defeat.
I never, in a thousand years, thought I would say this.

But I say thee ye, Michael Pence.
And I am crying again.
I'm in tears. West Virginia gives its votes to Trump and Pence and tears are streaming down my face as Wisconsin is called.
OK, I don't care who this motherfucker is who is trying to spoil shit with a house objection to Wisconsin but no Senator backed him up and Pence just shut him down.
Are there any objections to Wyoming?

There are none.

This is the final state.
The Tellers from the Senate and the House report the following:

"Joseph Biden and Kamala Harris will be the President and Vice President according to the ballots given to us."
Mike Pence reports that Joseph Biden has received 306 votes. Donald Trump has received 232 votes.
Mike Pence, standing in a building that was occupied by people attempting to use violence to compel our nation to accept him as the Vice President for another four years, announces that Joseph Biden and Kamala Harris will take office on January 20, 2021.
"The purpose of the Joint Session having concluded...the Chair declares the joint session dissolved."

This is America. Still.

THREAD:
Good afternoon, followers of frivolous election litigation. There's a last-minute entry in the competition for dumbest pre-inauguration lawsuit - a totally loony effort to apparently leave the entire USA without a government.

We'll start with the complaint in a minute.

But first, I want to give you a quick explanation for why I'm going to keep talking about these cases even after the inauguration.

They're part of an ongoing effort - one that's not well-coordinated but is widespread - to discredit our fundamental system of government.

It's a direct descendent, in more ways than one, of birtherism. And here's the thing about birtherism. It might have been a joke to a lot of people, but it was extremely pernicious. It obviously validated the racist "not good enough to be President" crowd. But that wasn't all.

Don't get me wrong, that was bad enough. Validating racism helped put the kind of shitbird who would tweet this from an official government account into power. But it didn't stop


(Also, if you agree with Pompeo about multiculturalism - the legendary melting pot - not being what this country is all about, you need to stop following me now. And maybe go somewhere and think about your life choices and what made you such a tool.)

I have documented this in many threads which I will post here just to annoy everyone.

The entire discussion around Facebook’s disclosures of what happened in 2016 is very frustrating. No exec stopped any investigations, but there were a lot of heated discussions about what to publish and when.


In the spring and summer of 2016, as reported by the Times, activity we traced to GRU was reported to the FBI. This was the standard model of interaction companies used for nation-state attacks against likely US targeted.

In the Spring of 2017, after a deep dive into the Fake News phenomena, the security team wanted to publish an update that covered what we had learned. At this point, we didn’t have any advertising content or the big IRA cluster, but we did know about the GRU model.

This report when through dozens of edits as different equities were represented. I did not have any meetings with Sheryl on the paper, but I can’t speak to whether she was in the loop with my higher-ups.

In the end, the difficult question of attribution was settled by us pointing to the DNI report instead of saying Russia or GRU directly. In my pre-briefs with members of Congress, I made it clear that we believed this action was GRU.
