thank you for taking this stand. I just saw a report from @CNN that James Clyburn said Democrats might wait until after Biden's first 100 days to send the articles of impeachment to the Senate. I think this is a mistake for several reasons. /1

First, the armed insurrection incited by the President is an immediate national security threat. Each day he is in office increases the threat.

Any talk of waiting undercuts the immediacy and seriousness of this threat. /2
Second, the Senate should be given the opportunity to act immediately. If Republican leadership fails to take up impeachment proceedings immediately, that failure is on them. This president has demonstrated that a single day with him left in office is dangerous, every arm /3
of the Democratic party should move as quickly as possible to reinforce this idea and to ensure it has done everything possible to remove him as a threat to our democracy. /4
It's one thing for Republican leadership to once again refuse to hold him accountable, it's quite another for Democratic leadership to accede to *their* desire to move slowly. /5
*I understand that parliamentary procedures make it difficult for the Senate to convene before January 19th. But this is not an impossibility, and the Republicans refusal to move this date and move more quickly should not be a reason for Democrats to slow down this process /6
/7 **This is the message: Democrats have moved as quickly as possible to ensure this president cannot do more harm in his remaining time in office. Our republican colleagues should do the same. If the Republican led Senate *fails* to convict the president before he leaves /8
office, *then* the Democratic led senate *can* wait until after Biden's first 100 days. Trump will no longer have access to the vast powers of the presidency. Until that happens, Democrats should move with one voice to ensure his removal. /end
@threadreaderapp unroll please.

More from Government

The Government is making the same mistakes as it did in the first wave. Except with knowledge.

A thread.


The Government's strategy at the beginning of the pandemic was to 'cocoon' the vulnerable (e.g. those in care homes). This was a 'herd immunity' strategy. This interview is from


This strategy failed. It is impossible to 'cocoon' the vulnerable, as Covid is passed from younger people to older, more vulnerable people.

We can see this playing out through heatmaps. e.g. these heatmaps from the second


The Government then decided to change its strategy to 'preventing a second wave that overwhelms the NHS'. This was announced on 8 June in Parliament.

This is not the same as 'preventing a second wave'.

The Academy of Medical Scientists published a report on 14 July 'Preparing for a Challenging Winter' commissioned by the Chief Scientific Adviser that set out what needed to be done in order to prevent a catastrophe over the winter
Oh my Goodness!!!

I might have a panic attack due to excitement!!

Read this thread to the end...I just had an epiphany and my mind is blown. Actually, more than blown. More like OBLITERATED! This is the thing! This is the thing that will blow the entire thing out of the water!


Has this man been concealing his true identity?

Is this man a supposed 'dead' Seal Team Six soldier?

Witness protection to be kept safe until the right moment when all will be revealed?!

Who ELSE is alive that may have faked their death/gone into witness protection?


Were "golden tickets" inside the envelopes??


Are these "golden tickets" going to lead to their ultimate undoing?

Review crumbs on the board re: 'gold'.
