-Secondly, I will address, once again, the historic role of the @VP vis-à-vis 12A & ECA of 1887.
I do not “grasp at straws”, @LarrySchweikart and you are not the only person with an education.👨🎓
-First, re the Electoral Slates for Trump: they are currently *uncertified*. We hope to get them retroactively certified.
authority to "throw out" an electoral slate and accept another.

I know our side is depressed & grasping at straws, but this ain't it.
-Secondly, I will address, once again, the historic role of the @VP vis-à-vis 12A & ECA of 1887.
-You inferred the Trump electors are "illegitimate”.
-Well, the Act says only the votes “appointed in accordance with the laws of the State” may be "counted".
OBJECTION! LOL!😝
-But what if the Trump slates are not certified by 1/6? Then both will be thrown out.
-However, the Act is an impenetrable text of 807 words and a quagmire of confusion open to different interpretations.
-In martial arts, ambiguity (or formlessness) is an ally.
The Act contradicts itself.

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.
The story doesn\u2019t say you were told not to... it says you did so without approval and they tried to obfuscate what you found. Is that true?

Krugman is, of course, right about this. BUT, note that universities can do a lot to revitalize declining and rural regions.
