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

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.

1. Short thread - on the various claims we're seeing from Republican politicians over the last few days that the Democratic push for accountability is "divisive." Damn right it's divisive - that is what it has to be.

2. It is intended to enforce a clear division between those who accept and are committed to democracy and those who are willing to turn to violence when the vote doesn't turn out the way that they want it to.

3. One of the basic implications of Adam Przeworski's theoretic work is that democracy is made out of mutually reinforcing expectations, and those expectations are fragile. If some actors think they would be better off defecting from the democratic bargain, they will.

4. In other words: democracy and armed factionalism are far closer than we think, or we would like them to be. This means that it is incredibly important to police the boundaries between them. Allowing some to turn to violence can lead to expectation collapse and cascading ruin.

5. When we allow the divisions to become blurred, that means that we are running the perpetual risk of things getting fucked up. If a major faction turns to violence, and no-one responds, things can get really fucked up really, really fast.

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:

3/


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

4/


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.

Ok I was wrong about theHouse. 2 years of legislative gridlock = not fun. Few bills passing.

Control of the House is useless when it comes to keeping Trump from declassifying all the SpyGate docs. Or stopping an Inspector General from releasing a report.

Trump still gets control of judicial appointments so we can expect another 100 judges over the next two years. This time there’ll be no McCain or Flake playing the Maverick role with their swing vote.

That new margin in the Senate is huge if another Supreme Court seat comes open.

So from the responses I’m getting, people seem to think if Trump declassifies the Spygate stuff now, nothing happens.

Are you under the impression federal prosecutors have to wait until CONGRESS finishes an investigation and makes criminal referrals before the DOJ can act?

There’s a federal grand jury on McCabe right now. Did Congress ever finish it’s investigation and make a referral to the DOJ against him?

No.

BUT INSPECTOR GENERAL HOROWITZ DID. On finishing his McCabe leak report.

Funny how nobody remembers that.

So I've been reporting a story about how you'd fix the impeachment process. It doesn't work for removal, as currently designed. Impeachment was built for a political system without parties. It fails in a system with polarized parties.

The one time it functioned as intended, confusingly, was the time it didn't happen: Richard Nixon wasn't impeached! But the impeachment process, which came at the low ebb of party polarization in American history, convinced his party to force him to resign.

Would Republicans force Nixon to resign today?

Oh, you're cute. Thank you. I needed that.

The problem of impeachment is pretty simple: Presidents are leaders of parties. Parties are tied to the political fortunes of presidents. You're asking a party to basically wreck its immediate political future for the good of the system.

This doesn't just have the effect of making impeachment ineffective as a remedy. It's worse than that. It makes impeachment dangerous to the president's party, and gives them a reason to defend him and either normalize or minimize his crimes. As we are seeing right now.

The initiatives of Congress are to come in two areas. One within the party and the other with other parties.
First Congress has to Improve its communication with people, cadres, leaders and supporters.
Rahul is mainly shouldering this responsibility. But why not other leaders.
/1

It may be argued that some leaders are doing it within their areas. What about other areas, other leaders?
There will be many contenders for posts, maybe even for President’s if given a chance.
Why not leaders volunteer to propagate views, counter the Modi regime on the field?
/2

Some leaders give out statements in media, write their views on social media. Are they enough? Are they doing justice to their potential?
Even during elections, they limit themselves to their constituencies/ state.
Why should they not extend it beyond & even between elections?
/3

The statements of Congress leaders with few exceptions are bland, insipid, prosaic, not interesting and attracting enough to percolate to the people.
How many of their messages reached the people?
Can they not make it more attractive or find other ways to reach the masses?
/4

Some may say there are limitations of age, barriers of territory, egos, invitations, interference.
Most of them are artificial, self-imposed and can be sorted out.
These leaders do not devote themselves to the masses.
If Rahul does it, expected to do it why not others?

👇 Thread. New deck getting published this week: "Consumer startups are awesome, and here's what I'm looking to invest in at Andreessen Horowitz." If you want to read it, subscribe to my newsletter here: https://t.co/262t8eh0wf


1/ A lot of new consumer technologies have been introduced to US households in the last 100 years. But it's taken many of them - like the telephone - more than 50 years to get to the majority of the US. Why is that?


2/ We had to literally teach people how to use phone. Which end goes to your mouth, which goes to your ear. Say "hello" when people call. The motivation of consumers to talk to their friends has always been there, but we had to teach the behavior


3/ If you compare phones to the latest technologies, there's been a huge shift. Things are being picked up much faster.


4/ Even while there's been all this innovation recently, physically speaking, we are still the same human beings from 100,000 years ago.

Pyramiding 2.0

A thread-


What is pyramiding?

It is simply adding to your winners.

Why use pyramiding?

1. It makes your winners bigger than your losers.

• Because you are adding positions when your trades are going your way, you are increasing your gains but your losers will be small comparatively.

2. You lose less during Draw-down time ( it saves you from losing big during whipsaws )

• Many times when the market is in sideways mode, Entering a trade with full risk might not be the best idea.

• So, you test the waters with a small position first, it could be ⅓ or ¼ of your total risk.

• So if the Breakout fails or whipsaws come, then you will only lose a small part of your overall risk.

• Then when position starts to go in your favor you can add to it.

3. It helps you to concentrate on a few trades,

They say that don’t put all your eggs in one basket, but don’t put them in too many either.

• See, Everyone can see charts and find breakouts, pullbacks etc.

SRI KALAHASTI KSHETRAM, CHITTOOR (AP)
#bharatmandir

Panchbhootasthalam representing vayu element, also called Dakshin Kailasha.
As per Shiva’s boon, Vayu is incarnated here as Shiva and worshipped as Kalahasteeswara.
The kshetram is also associated with Rahu and Ketu.


The Kshetram is named after 3 devotees of Shiva- a snake, spider and elephant who worshipped a lingam in the forest. Elephant did jal abhishek with water from its trunk, spider protected it from dust by weaving a web on it and snake adorned it with his jewel.
@GunduHuDuGa


Once, the web and jewel got washed away when elephant sprayed water on the lingam. Angered snake entered elephant’s trunk and bit him but died in the process. The agitated elephant trampled the spider accidentally. Shiva gave moksha to all three.


Hence the name-Sri for Spider, kaal for snake n hasti for elephant.

Shiv bhakt Kanappa is said to have plucked his own eye to put it on the lingam here when he saw blood oozing from the eye on the lingam
This place is the ultimate location for Rahu Kethu Sarpa Dosha Nivarana.

Neyyattinkara Krishna Kshetram
#Thiruvananthapuram
#KeralaTemples 🚩

Neyyattinkara Krishna Kshetram is considered as the Guruvayur of Trivandrum. Thrikkayyil Venna (butter) is main offering to Neyyattinkara Unnikannan. Kshetram is supposed to be built by Marthanda Varma.


Sthala Puranam says that, Anizham Thirunal Marthanda Varma was surrounded by his enemies, Ettuveettil Pillamar, while he was near the place where Temple is situated now. The king prayed to Padmanabhaswamy to protect him.  At that time, a small boy was seen there and he


advised the king to hide himself inside the hollow trunk of a jack fruit tree. The king was surprised to find a small boy in the forest, but agreed to the advice
Thus he was saved from the attack. When the enemies left, king tried to know about the boy, but he couldn't.


He believed that it was krishna himself who saved his life. A temple was built here, which is the present Neyyattinkara Krishna Kshetram. The jack fruit tree where  the king hid himself is now known as Ammachi Plavu. Ashtami Rohini, Vishu are very famous here
