Freedom of assembly is a Constitutional right, Mayor Bowser.

9/12/2018 President Trump declared election interference a national emergency and authorized the use of government resources to address and intercept the threat. https://t.co/hRW6OowVNx

11/26/1789 “As President of the United States, George Washington proclaimed the first nationwide thanksgiving celebration in America ....”to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favours of Almighty God".
Today is 1/2/2021. I propose that President Trump make January 6 into a National holiday, proclaiming it “National Liberation Day” or similar.

This presumes public awareness of the reality of our situation, Biden stepping down, Pence replaced, etc. as reported unverified.
On Thursday I propose we have a gigantic military parade along the lines of what President Trump spoke of several years ago already.

Planning for Trump's military parade finally begins https://t.co/uVheTmLbt4 via @nypost
Let’s use Federal Government resources in support of this new national holiday and parade. That way the President can make sure the roadways are open, security and emergency personnel are on hand, and water and bathrooms are available to the public at the very least.
Planes, trains and buses can be charters to bring visitors into the Nation’s capital.
Food trucks can be granted permission to park in easily accessible locations.
All of this can be done between today and Thursday if the President works fast.

Or maybe he has planned it already 😉

POTUS calling out the Justice Department as corrupt.


To be clear, I would distinguish between regular employees of the Justice Department and the decisions made officially. It's important to do this.

It is also worth noting that "federal agents can be sued for putting Muslim men on the no-fly list in alleged retaliation for their refusal to cooperate with counterterrorism

"The decision, a rare expansion of personal liability for law-enforcement misconduct, was one of four unanimous rulings the court issued Thursday"

"The court also found that there is no statute of limitations on when rape charges can be filed in the armed services"

If you're curious what Trump's defense will look like, all you have to do is turn on Fox News. My latest at @mmfa

The tl;dr is that for years right-wing media have been excusing Trump's violent rhetoric by going, "Yes, but THE DEMOCRATS..." and then bending themselves into knots to pretend that Dems were calling for violence when they very, very clearly weren't.

And in fact, this predates Trump.

In 2008, Obama was talking about not backing down in the face of an ugly campaign. He said "If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun."

That quote was from the movie The Untouchables. And there's no way anybody reading that quote in good faith could conclude that he was talking about actual guns and knives. But it became a big talking point on the

In 2018, Obama-era Attorney General Eric Holder was speaking to a group of Georgia Democrats about GOP voter suppression. He riffed on Michelle Obama's "When they go low, we go high" line from the 2016 DNC.

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.
