Here we go. Tag 4 des Impeachments. Trumps Verteidigung.

 Es wird argumentiert, dass Trump nur habe sicherstellen wollen, dass die Wahl fair abgelaufen sei. Die Verteidigung zeigt Clips einzelner Demokraten, die der Zertifizierung von Trumps Stimmen 2016 widersprechen. (Dass es 2016 keinen von Obama gesandten Mob aufs Kapitol gab?Egal!)
Die intellektuelle Unehrlichkeit ist so unfassbar, ich weiß kaum, wo ich hier überhaupt anfangen soll; so viele fucking Strohmänner auf einmal.
Die Verteidigung spielt random Clips, in denen Demokraten “fight” sagen, fast zehn Minuten lang. Weil Trump 20mal am 6. Januar “fight” gesagt hat. Dies ist kein Witz. Komisch, dass sonst die Folge nie war, dass ein Mob das Kapitol gestürmt hat und Pence hängen wollte https://t.co/0UuntJzVQ4
“Dieser Fall geht um politischen Hass” Ich mein, ja. “Die House Managers hassen Donald Trump.”

So close.
... https://t.co/G3iMze60eU
Der aktuelle Anwalt gibt eine Master Class im wütend Umblättern.
Im aktuellen Video: Madonna. Johnny Depp.
Die aktuelle Verteidigung lässt sich etwa so zusammenfassen; “Ihr habt auch KÄMPFT gesagt” “what about...” “this is not Whataboutism!” “fuck context” “context is important”
Es ist so unerträglich https://t.co/WvIAvhPNXY
Extrem auffallend: die Auswahl der gezeigten Demokraten. https://t.co/472NtEvKMP
“Both Sides” Charlottesville, weil warum nicht. Oder so. https://t.co/1Qhluliinn
Möchte meinen Kopf durch den Bildschirm rammen, einfach damit es aufhört
Übrigens haben Raskin und Co das 1st amendment Argument bereits gestern widerlegt, das hier gerade im schlechten Community Theater Stil vorgetragen wird, inklusive empörtem Schnaufen und Kopfschütteln https://t.co/BWYOP3XbUT
Hat Trumps Anwalt gerade das N-Wort gesagt
Hat er. Wo ist mein Schnaps https://t.co/f0Gbhtwzpo
Van der Veen, der gerade redet und wirklich schwer erträglich ist, hat Trump übrigens noch vor einem Jahr selbst verklagt, wegen Lügen zum Thema Wahlbetrug: https://t.co/M2oQpRSIVr
Gründerväter einfach woker Mob wenn ihr mich fragt #cancelculture https://t.co/IaTu6M1bpS
Van der Veen lügt wie gedruckt. Es ist fast beeindruckend. Z.B. behauptet er, dass die Antifa in den Angriff auf das Kapitol verwickelt gewesen sei. das ist ein rechter Verschwörungsmythos. https://t.co/S23L8Jsou5
Ich krieg gleich einen Schlaganfall. Zu behaupten, dass Religion friedlich im Kontext des 6. Januars auftauchte ist unfassbar. #CapitolSiegeReligion, schaut einfach mal nach. https://t.co/ayyeeL0tPK
The sound you heard was the heads of scholars of religion, history and sociology exploding. Feel like I’m going insane. At least I’m not alone @plmanseau https://t.co/fdKM5XmGgL
Lest bitte seinen neusten Artikel in der Washington Post zur religiösen Dimension des 6. Januars. https://t.co/l6fxfgI2XH #CapitolSiegeReligion
Castor argumentiert, eine gescheiterte Insurrection brauche nicht verfolgt werden.
Daher habe es keine Insurrection stattgefunden.

Tolles Schlussargument
Schon starkes Stück zu behaupten, die Anklage habe Videos zurechtgeschnitten und selbst Trump zu Geigenmusik zeigen, gegengeschnitten zu BADADADAMM Musik, wenn Demokraten was sagen
DAS HIER IST KEIN GERICHTSPROZESS

kann die mal jemand briefen das ist ja unerträglich
Trump spricht wenige Worte - HARD CUT - "Wie Sie sehen meine Damen und Herren, alles prima super friedlich"
Das tolle am "Insurrection nur strafbar, wenn erfolgreich" ist ja, dass dann Insurrection nie strafbar ist. Denn: Wenn's erfolgreich ist, ist Regierung unter Kontrolle der Staatsstreichler.
Daraus folgt nach Castor: Insurrection nie strafbar. Cool.
Überfalle dann einfach demnächst eine Bank, wenn Lesungen ausbleiben, weil wenns schiefgeht ist ja nicht strafbar
Kann mich nicht auf das konzentrieren, was Castor salbadert, deswegen: stimmt der Senat eigentlich jetzt auch über Madonnas oder Johnny Depps Impeachment ab? Und Chris Cuomos? Frage auf Basis des Videomaterials der Verteidigung.
Trumps Anwälte scheinen sich "Scary Bad Guy Music free" runtergeladen zu haben und spielen sie jetzt zu Video von Pressevertretern ab, nur falls jemand das "enemy of the people" Framing vergessen sollte
AHAHAHA.
Trump sei heimlich aufgenommen worden und deswegen hätte er im Raffensperger Anruf nicht zu Gewalt aufrufen können am 6. Januar.
Nein, ich bin nicht betrunken, das hat Castor wirklich so gesagt. Mit Absicht.
"Der Mafiaboss hat im Gegenteil sein ehrliches Bedauern darüber ausgedrückt, dass dem Geschäft ein Brandschaden zustoßen könnte, verehrte Jury"
"Originalism" und "Textualism" immer übel, egal ob im Bezug auf religiöse Schriften, Verfassungen oder, na ja, Sprache halt.
"on november whatever", der Anwalt des Ex-Präsidenten der USA, meine Damen und Herren
Nach Videomaterial der Verteidigung impeachen wir jetzt auch Jake Tapper, Wolf Blitzer uvm, stay tuned
Music Note: Die Helden fliehen vor den Bösen und einem explodierendem Tanker
Huiui, den Demokraten vorwerfen, sie wollten einen Ein-Parteienstaat ist ein starkes Stück, wenn man selbst Hardcore mit dem Faschismus flirtet, das muss diese Projektion sein.
Habe bei jedem "cancelled" der letzten zwei Minuten getrunken und bin jetzt beschickert
Oh cool jetzt wird einfach offen gedroht, nices Schlusswort. fuck off, bruce.
Castor sagt zu Republikanern, den Demokraten doch bitte nicht "dasselbe" (Impeachment) anzutun, wenn sie das nächste Mal an der Macht sind. Als würde es alle paar Jahre passieren, ein Präsident hetzt einen Mob auf das Kapitol & akzeptiert die Niederlage nicht. Standard.
Murkowski glaubt, dass das Trump Team heute eine gute Verteidigung hingelegt hat. Tja.
Muss sagen, ich hätte nicht so viele Musikvideos in einer Verteidigung im Impeachment Prozess erwartet. Damit haben sie mich doch überrascht.
Ach ja, bevor ich gerade um mehrere Monate gealtert bin, hatte ich für Patrons noch den gestrigen Tag des Impeachment-Prozesses zusammengefasst als Podcast-Episode. Inkl. Ausblick auf die heutige Batshittery (BINGO!) https://t.co/X88vKS2mLd
Kämpfen für Elternzeit/Krankenversicherung für alle/Mindestlohn und kämpfen im Sinne von Insurrection einfach dasselbe. Brought to you by the Trump defense.
Ach ja, und, Bruce Castor? "Insurrection" isses nicht erst, wenn TV-Sender unter Kontrolle gebracht werden. Herzlich, deine #twitterstorians
Murkwoski und Collins fragen Trumps Team, wann er genau vom Angriff auf das Kapitol erfahren habe und was er unternommen habe. Die Frage muss ein zweites Mal vorgelesen werden.
Trumps Anwälte sagen, sie wissen es nicht und beschuldigen eine "fehlende Untersuchung". Es ist so lachhaft.
Absurd. Noch absurder war die Frage, noch absurder die Antwort des Trump Teams "Ja." das wars. wtf. https://t.co/WsNuEnJA92
Habe das Gefühl, ich brauch eine Woche Urlaub, wenn das hier vorbei ist. Mindestens. Meine Güte.

Jacob Rees-Mogg has admitted the Tory leadership coup looks like being delayed to December - after the 'meaningful vote' on the PM's Brexit deal.

Speaking on his @ConHome 'Moggcast': "Some people don't want a leadership vote now, they would like it when the meaningful vote comes up and think that is the time to put in letters."

JRM: "I think the strength of feeling against the meaningful vote is much stronger than the number of letters that has gone in. If there are letters in, very few of those letters will be withdrawn - so the hurdle is much lower when the meaningful vote comes."

He tells @ConHome the apparent failure of the coup could be a blessing in disguise: "In a way it is better that there has been this delay, though I can't pretend that there has been some cunning plan, because we have allowed time for people to see the failures of the policy."

Full report on the delayed coup from @NatashaC on @TheSun now:

For a few weeks I’ve been wondering about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and just how she emerged as a politico. Her path to Washington is shocking, at the very least. My first question was: What were her campaign positions BEFORE she became a national figure?

1/

So I went to her campaign website and took that web address and looked through the internet archive. When I went back to 2017, it was not her website, it belonged to the group "Brand New Congress."

2/

Here's what the web address https://t.co/Uhz2q4Dpll looks like now:

Here's what the same web address looked like in late 2017:

What's “Brand New Congress?” BNC is a group of Bernie Sanders staffers who got together, decided to make the 2018 midterms all about Bernie policies by taking his ideas & finding 400 Bernie carbon copies to dump into Congressional & other races, creating a 400 headed Bernie.

Funny, before the election I recall lefties muttering the caravan must have been a Trump setup because it made the open borders crowd look so bad. Why would the pro-migrant crowd engineer a crisis that played into Trump's hands? THIS is why. THESE are the "optics" they wanted.


This media manipulation effort was inspired by the success of the "kids in cages" freakout, a 100% Stalinist propaganda drive that required people to forget about Obama putting migrant children in cells. It worked, so now they want pics of Trump "gassing children on the border."

There's a heavy air of Pallywood around the whole thing as well. If the Palestinians can stage huge theatrical performances of victimhood with the willing cooperation of Western media, why shouldn't the migrant caravan organizers expect the same?

It's business as usual for Anarchy, Inc. - the worldwide shredding of national sovereignty to increase the power of transnational organizations and left-wing ideology. Many in the media are true believers. Others just cannot resist the narrative of "change" and "social justice."

The product sold by Anarchy, Inc. is victimhood. It always boils down to the same formula: once the existing order can be painted as oppressors and children as their victims, chaos wins and order loses. Look at the lefties shrieking in unison about "Trump gassing children" today.

Last talk about Securing Democracy at #enigma2021: @jackhcable speaking about "THE FULL STACK PROBLEM OF ELECTION

Let's imagine that elections use all the security measures security people have been advocating: risk-limiting audits, paper ballots, etc. Would people trust the elections more?

Jack would argue no. Most people don't understand this stuff and most of the claims people are making can't be disproven. And are massively bogus already.

Georgia did a full recount on paper ballots and it very much didn't stop people from doubting the election!

Are election security results in vain? The point of election security is to convince the loser they lost.

No! Have to focus on the whole stack, from election infrastructure to campaigns to people and mis/dis-informaton


One takeaway from the talk: the parts of the stack must work in tandem. Can't fight misinformation in a vacuum, but must build on other election security measures.

1/Zach has the history right (again). I doubt the current political leadership read the book where Summers et al explained what they did, unless they look at borrowed copies. Here it is: https://t.co/4gyFiagaj3

2/ But the summary is that Summers, Geithner, Orszag, Emanuel agreed on telling Obama and Biden in December 2008 that about $800b was an adequate stimulus. Would lower unemployment just below 8% by late 2010. Romer thought $2.1T or $1.7T was needed to achieve full employment.

3/ They wouldn't let her make the case in writing for $1.2T because her number could leak. The reasons for $800b were: they wanted the bill passed by February, so they could move on to health care reform and cap and trade; they had no ways to spend more;

4/ spending more might kick off inflation or cause markets to fall for fear of inflation; that might lead to more bank runs; more bank runs might require a second TARP so they couldn't ask Congress for too much for recovery; Pelosi would give them whatever they asked

5/ for but they didn't think they could get the needed 1 or 2 R Senators quickly if they asked for more; they wanted 60 but had only 58 D Senators; popular "moonshots" or signature items in the package would take too long (Biden asked for that);

From today, we will memorize the names of 27 Nakshatras in Vedic Jyotish to never forget in life.

I will write 4 names. Repeat them in SAME sequence twice in morning, noon, evening. Each day, revise new names + recall all previously learnt names.

Pls RT if you are in.

Today's Nakshatras are:-

1. Ashwini - अश्विनी

2. Bharani - भरणी

3. Krittika - कृत्तिका

4. Rohini - रोहिणी

Ashwini - अश्विनी is the FIRST Nakshatra.

Repeat these names TWICE now, tomorrow morning, noon and evening. Like this tweet if you have revised 8 times as told.

3

Today's Nakshatras are:-

5. Mrigashira - मृगशिरा

6. Ardra - आर्द्रा

7. Punarvasu - पुनर्वसु

8. Pushya - पुष्य

🎉🎉 PHP 7.3 is here!

Here are the things I'm excited about.

🚂 Trailing commas in function/method calls!

This will certainly be a required styling choice for me. Same delightful benefits of trailing comma in multi-line PHP arrays, and JavaScript objects.


🧵 Less disgusting heredoc syntax!

Inlining heredoc strings in any way right now is grrrosssss. Now we get sensible capabilities. Everything that was wrong with it is now fixed!

(Ignore the bad syntax highlighting)


☠️ Finally, not-so-silent json_decode error detection!

This really sucked before, now it just sucks a bit less (who wants to pass a 4th param and pass 2 default params first? (helper function anybody?)


📜 Not horrible functions for getting the first and last item (or key) from an array!

Before you either strung a bunch of functions together or messed with internal array pointers. This is a much-needed improvement.

Keep dwelling on this:
Further Examination of the Motif near PRRA Reveals Close Structural Similarity to the SEB Superantigen as well as Sequence Similarities to Neurotoxins and a Viral SAg.

The insertion PRRA together with 7 sequentially preceding residues & succeeding R685 (conserved in β-CoVs) form a motif, Y674QTQTNSPRRAR685, homologous to those of neurotoxins from Ophiophagus (cobra) and Bungarus genera, as well as neurotoxin-like regions from three RABV strains

(20) (Fig. 2D). We further noticed that the same segment bears close similarity to the HIV-1 glycoprotein gp120 SAg motif F164 to V174.

In (B), the segment S680PPRAR685 including the PRRA insert and highly conserved cleavage site *R685* is shown in van der Waals representation (black labels) and nearby CDR residues of the TCRVβ domain are labeled in blue/white

Here is the detailed information of about strategy,

Entry time : 9.30 - 10
Exit : Upto you

Strategy :
Sell weekly ATM CE & PE at almost equal price
For ex : Sell Nifty 17250 CE at 50 and Nifty 17250 PE at 48 so it will become short straddle

Buy monthly ATM or near ATM CE & PE at matching price (5-10 points diff should be fine) as hedge
For ex : Buy Nifty 17250 CE at 150 and Nifty 17300 PE at 155 so it will become long straddle.

Weekly Short straddle + Monthly Long straddle

Adjustment:

• If you feel slightly bullish/bearish then no adjustment needed
• If Nifty moves 50 up or down and sustain then just simply roll up or down half of qnty and keep rest of the quantity. If market goes up or down further then roll up or down rest.

• If Nifty moves one side or about to breach BEP then add equal amount of lot. This can balance tested side. For ex: If I bought 17300 CE 4 lot as hedge then add 4 lot so you will have only one side risk . Note: Remember to keep SL at cost price (only for additional lot bought)

Capital requirement:
2.2 L for 4 lot
Adjustment requires additional capital upto 1L

Note : High risk high reward strategy, please don’t execute until you fully understand. Kindly do paper trading or backtest.
RR : 1:1
POP : 45-55%

Glorious Vedic Architecture and Temple

Architecture in India was an extremely rich form of expression and highly developed science, with a deep heritage of spirituality in it. #FreeHinduTemple


The centre of all architectural development was the temple and temple or Mandir was the earthly home of God, and like the launching pad for the devotee’s consciousness to soar toward the Divine and the spiritual world.


The murti or deity of the Divine would be placed in the temple sanctum, around which all temple activity would revolve.

Such buildings were often elaborately decorated with stone, wood, plaster, etc. and carved or cut to depict the stories from the Puranas or other sacred texts


Temples were always the centre of religious, social and educational activities, practically more so in
ancient times than today.

During a span of more than two thousand years, various dynasties were known for constructing glorious temples,


some of which include the Mauryan, Ashoka, Gupta, Satavahana, Chedi, Chandella, Chalukya, Solanki, Pallava, Shola, Hoysala, Vijayanagar, and others.

Many of these temples remain beautiful architectural wonders today.
