Today, if Johnson bothers to show up for the impeachment trial, he’ll hear a flimsy defense of the indefensible. Then he faces an existential, character-defining choice: Country and Constitution, or party and personal power. We have a guess. But first, let’s review some clues.

 Just a couple of days before the impeachment trial began, Ron Johnson said that there was “no reason” to hold the trial—and that barring Trump from ever holding federal public office again would “pre-emptively” disenfranchise people. https://t.co/4Nn4aGR0EV
Ron Johnson knows something about disenfranchisement. In fact, he’s a big fan of it. He sought to disenfranchise millions of voters who chose Biden, spreading lies and fueling the fire of the January 6th insurrection.
He went on Fox News to claim there was voter fraud, that “millions of Americans have suspicions,” and made accusations about the validity of absentee ballots.
https://t.co/vIV0nvYv4y
Johnson went on in that same interview to explicitly call for Congress to “delay accepting a particular state’s electors.” He announced that he was going to vote against accepting Arizona’s electors, feeding the fury of the Jan 6th insurrectionists.
After the devastating attack on the Capitol, Johnson backtracked his initial intention to vote against the certification of the Electoral College, saying that he had only wanted to “have the debate” and that we have to “respect the rule of law.”
This was particularly shameless given his previous call to delay accepting the election result “until we actually investigate.” https://t.co/KdamfgRlUX
On a right-wing radio interview, Johnson said that convicting Trump on impeachment would “overturn the wishes of future voters.”
Again: Johnson is enthusiastic about overturning the wishes of current voters. What he cares about is just the past, present, and future voters who might support *him.* Democracy be damned.
Weeks later, Johnson was getting ready for the 2nd impeachment trial of Trump. Out of nowhere, he casually threw out a wild, baseless claim: that impeaching Trump is a “diversionary operation” to deflect from Speaker Pelosi being the one to blame for the Capitol violence. Um?
If this sounds offensively unreal to you, well, it is. But it’s totally on-brand for Johnson. https://t.co/t09KwHbBkW
Johnson has argued for years that the FBI’s investigation into Russia’s support for Trump, and everything that came after it, was all a “diversionary operation” to cover up for the FBI exonerating Hillary Clinton from supposed email crimes. https://t.co/w9zPsp9qcb
(Speaking of diversionary tactics, Johnson does not fail to bring up Hillary Clinton every chance he gets)
https://t.co/4v8uCmdpZF
Early last year, Johnson accused the deep state and the Obama Administration of “an attempted coup” against the incoming Trump Administration, “rather than that peaceful transition of power.” Hmm, if only there were a clearer example of an attempted coup. https://t.co/1YpAYuUVo2
Even after all the division that Ron Johnson has caused and is personally responsible for, he is now arguing that Congress doing its duty to impeach Trump somehow betrays President Biden’s promise to unify America. https://t.co/bjiBzmNi7j
Oh, and speaking of unity: prior to the 2020 election, Johnson claimed, at a Janesville Trump rally, that the country would be unrecognizable if Joe Biden won and that Biden supporters “don’t particularly love America.” Where’s the healing spirit, Ron? https://t.co/q4lGGPkYx5
*Cue petty video of Johnson saying he has “nothing to congratulate him for” after being asked about Biden’s win* https://t.co/5DEMvgS7ks
Johnson has said that impeaching Trump the second time around would be unconstitutional, but he’s never really specific about it. His only argument is that Trump has left office. Which, as @RepRaskin devastatingly proved, is no argument at all.
https://t.co/h96pwPv6W9
Ron Johnson fanned conspiracy theories, threatened our democracy, watched Trump incite an insurrection, blamed Pelosi, and now says if Trump is convicted—and barred from running again—it would “disenfranchise future voters.”
So, to conclude, we don’t know for 100% certain how Johnson will vote on conviction on the article of impeachment. But one thing is clear: Ron Johnson, @TheWorstSenator, needs to resign. If he doesn’t, we’ll vote him out.

Keir Starmer giving his most important speech yet-laying out his vision for the future.

“The Conservatives say they want to build back. But I don’t want to go back. You can’t return to business as usual. And certainly not back to an economy rooted in insecurity and inequality.”


"The foundations of our society have been weakened over a decade...even before the pandemic life expectancy had stalled for the first time in a century. Child poverty had shot up to over 4 million. A child growing up in a deprived areas of the North East can expect to live for.."

"...five fewer years than a deprived child brought up in a deprived area of London. What sort of legacy is that for a party which has been in govt for a decade? That life itself got cheaper. And shorter."

"During the last year my thoughts have returned time and time again to the wartime generation. Those who suffered the horrors of WW2, who rebuilt Britain from the rubble of the Blitz, created the NHS and built millions of homes fit for heroes. And I contrast that...

"...to those exposed to Covid in underfunded care homes, unable to say goodbye to families and to loved ones. How can the PM look those families in the eye and say 'we did everything we could'? When the truth is the Tories failed to fix social care for a decade?"

Press conference with city/county officials + Austin Energy GM Jackie Sargent.
WATCH:

Austin Energy GM Jackie Sargent: For many of our customers here and across the state, they have been dealing with this. I'm so sorry our customers are experiencing these horrible conditions. I want you to know we're doing everything we can to restore power.

We are meeting the customers' needs as best as we can. We're continuing to respond to ERCOT's need for the electric grid - they're still operating at low reserve margins. If you have power, still help conserve.

We are now dealing with an ice storm event. It's impeding operations of some of our equipment. This ice storm is impacting our customers, some who had power and now don't.

I do have a bit of good news. Even though ERCOT’s reserves are low, they have given Austin Energy permission to restore some customers. We’ve restored 16 circuits across our service We are prioritizing customers who have been without power the longest.

So friends here is the thread on the recommended pathway for new entrants in the stock market.

Here I will share what I believe are essentials for anybody who is interested in stock markets and the resources to learn them, its from my experience and by no means exhaustive..

First the very basic : The Dow theory, Everybody must have basic understanding of it and must learn to observe High Highs, Higher Lows, Lower Highs and Lowers lows on charts and their

Even those who are more inclined towards fundamental side can also benefit from Dow theory, as it can hint start & end of Bull/Bear runs thereby indication entry and exits.


Next basic is Wyckoff's Theory. It tells how accumulation and distribution happens with regularity and how the market actually

Thread: History of Mogadishu and it’s conquest by Imaam Al Yaqubi


One of the First Imaams of the Hiraab Imamate was Mohamed Ibn Imaam Ahmed ibn Imam Ahmed Ibn Imaam Mohamoud Ibn Imaam Cumar Halol Al Yacquubi (Abgaal) during the year 1097 hijri.


After the collapse of the Ajuuran Abgaal nomads from the interior had started moving to take over the strategic port town of Mogadishu which was then under the muzzafar dynasty. By the 1600s Abgaal warriors had captured the city and set up their base in shingaani.


Mogadishu at the time was a large and well known port town. The Abgaal clan taking over control allowed them to obtain political power and world wide recognition.


Under Imaam Yaqubi’s time in power it’s reported that French merchants had arrived at the port in 1701
and stayed for 11 days. They had attempted to take the city but were successfully repulsed.

To people who are under the impression that you can get rich quickly by working on an app, here are the stats for https://t.co/az8F12pf02

📈 ~12000 vistis
☑️ 109 transactions
💰 353€ profit (285 after tax)

I have spent 1.5 months on this app. You can make more $ in 2 days.

🤷‍♂️


I'm still happy that I launched a paid app bcs it involved extra work:

- backend for processing payments (+ permissions, webhooks, etc)
- integration with payment processor
- UI for license activation in Electron
- machine activation limit
- autoupdates
- mailgun emails

etc.

These things seemed super scary at first. I always thought it was way too much work and something would break. But I'm glad I persisted. So far the only problem I have is that mailgun is not delivering the license keys to certain domains like https://t.co/6Bqn0FUYXo etc. 👌

omg I just realized that me . com is an Apple domain, of course something wouldn't work with these dicks
