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.

TRUMP'S COUP TIMELINE

* This thread will use military time and EST time zone for any times provided.

November 7, 2020 - The press calls the 2020 presidential election for now President-elect Joe Biden, 4 days after the election.

November 9, 2020

After meeting with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and in violation of standing Department of Justice policy not to interfere in elections, US Attorney General Bill Barr authorizes federal prosecutors to investigate claims of electoral fraud.

Richard Pilger, the head of the DoJ’s Election Crimes Branch, resigns in response to Barr’s memo.

Trump fires Secretary of Defense Mark Esper. In response, Esper says, “Who’s going to come in behind me? It’s going to be a real ‘yes man.’ And then God help us.”

Trump immediately names Christopher Miller Acting Secretary of Defense.

Trump follows Esper’s firing with firing the Undersecretary of Defense for Policy, the Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence, and the Chief of Staff to the Secretary of Defense, constituting a “near total decapitation of civilian leadership” at the Pentagon.

Pretending that voting for Trump or denying climate change or suggesting the solution to every problem is more guns is a legitimate point of view, worthy of respect is not "how America works." It is how it dies.

People in a free society are entitled to any point of view no matter how obviously wrong or outlandish or destructive provided they do not impose their views on others.

But suggesting that something ignorant or divorced from reality warrants the same kind of treatment in public debate as something based in fact or at least credible is absurd and when done on behalf of a society in public media or academic settings it is self-destructive.

We would not grant media coverage or much bandwidth at all to a group that argued that unicorns exist or that there was a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Yet views like denying climate change or basing policy decisions on sweeping, obvious lies, are just as unsound.

Somewhere, somehow, judgments must be made. Some behaviors are wrong and must be condemned. Someone must challenge lies and demand facts. Coddling people who embrace idiocies does not help them no matter how loudly they demand to be coddled.

1. @SidneyPowell1, @LLinWood and any others who are digging into 2020 election fraud, you might want to look at Ryan Macias. He's the former acting director of the Federal Election Assistance Commission. He tested and certified Dominion systems, then profited from their failure.

✔️ We have begun. It's Day 4 of the Trump Impeachment Trial 2.0. The defense is putting on their case. The first lawyer is Van Der Veen.

1/


Already this is wackadoodle. Seems like the defense is trying to tell us not to believe what we saw. This lawyer has the audacity to say that the people assembled at Trump's speech were peaceful patriots

2/

This lawyer is claiming that Trump's speech on the ellipse on January 6th was was a policy speech about "turning out strong in the next primaries" and how this was about working on voting law reform.

A mere civics lesson.

3/

The lawyer is lying. The Clinton campaign never "declared that the election was stolen by Russia."

Also, this Trump lawyer is trying to claim that democrats objecting to some of the electoral votes is equivalent to Trump's incitement of violence.

4/

As we expected, Trump's lawyers are not going to address the merits. Instead this is what-about-ism

The death of Alhaji Lateef Kayode Jakande brings to my mind the triumph of excellence in political leadership as well as rebellion against the political order.

A lot has been said about LKJ since he died yesterday and I hope only to contribute my perspective to enrich all said.

My emphasis with history has always been to draw out lessons relevant to the present, to show how trends repeat themselves and to show certain hypocritical contradictions within the present system.

Only few others qualify as well as LKJ to do all the three - I hope I do justice.

One area pundits have largely missed out in the Jakande story is the very beginning - both of his life and of his politics.

LKJ's parents were from Omu-Aran in present day Kwara State but he contributed more to Lagos than so many others - we will return to this subsequently.

LKJ was not originally a political ally of Awolowo - a number of elders were with Awo right from the very beginning but LKJ contributed politically to Awolowo at a crucial time of religious threat to the dominance of the Action Group (Awo's party) in the pre-Independence mid 50s.

A group had been formed in 1957 and named the National Muslim League headed by Alhaji R.A. Smith who had been very critical of Awolowo's AG as a Christian party and moved to align with the Northern People's Congress of Sir Ahmadu Bello.

The political threat to Awo was very real.

"I lied about my basic beliefs in order to keep a prestigious job. Now that it will be zero-cost to me, I have a few things to say."


We know that elite institutions like the one Flier was in (partial) charge of rely on irrelevant status markers like private school education, whiteness, legacy, and ability to charm an old white guy at an interview.

Harvard's discriminatory policies are becoming increasingly well known, across the political spectrum (see, e.g., the recent lawsuit on discrimination against East Asian applications.)

It's refreshing to hear a senior administrator admits to personally opposing policies that attempt to remedy these basic flaws. These are flaws that harm his institution's ability to do cutting-edge research and to serve the public.

Harvard is being eclipsed by institutions that have different ideas about how to run a 21st Century institution. Stanford, for one; the UC system; the "public Ivys".

So there's a class of puzzles called "river crossing puzzles" which involve having to cross a river on a boat/bridge containing some set of individuals/items with restrictions on which ones can be on the boat/left on each shore, right?

and the most common subclass of these problems is the one where you have 3 items/animals to cross with.
This is alternatively called the "fox, goose, and bag of beans" or "wolf, goat, and cabbage" puzzle.

the idea is that your boat can only carry one item at a time, but if you leave the wolf/fox unattended with the goat/goose, the wolf/fox will eat the goat/goose.
and similarly, the goose/goat will eat the beans/cabbage if left alone

so you have to set up a set of actions that never leaves either side of the river in one of the lose-states.

the solution to this variant being:
1. take the goat/goose over
2. return empty
3. take the wolf/fox over
4. return with the goat/goose
5. take the cabbage/beans over
6. return empty
7. take the goat/goose over

READ AND RETWEET AS THOUGH THE LIFE OF YOUR NATION DEPENDS ON IT. WHICH IT DOES. Citizens, I am going to add to the picture with more information. I am not going to let this pass while keeping information to myself. I am going to walk you through 2 narratives.

A printing shop in Michigan prints ballots for Delaware County, Pennsylvania and as Lancashire County, Pennsylvania (this is normal). But along with the ballots it prints on contract and delivers to those counties, it prints some ballots that get diverted to Bethpage, New York.

There, a boiler room of folks fill in "Biden" (often without even voting downballot). The ballots (which are forensically legitimate, given that they come from the same print shop as the good ballots, ) then get trucked into Pennsylvania and mailed. Hundreds of thousands.

We have all of that documented. Texts, statements, affidavits, everything.

We also know that this same ballot printing company (and other firms in the same family) also print for Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, and Georgia.
