I suspect Repubs are only pantomiming because they know it won’t work & Biden will be sworn in

Like kids playing with the stove, eyeballing Mom the whole time, knowing she’ll stop them

If it worked, they’d have to be responsible for the results of their choices. Can’t have that

Republicans have spent decades successfully blaming Democrats for the bad results of their policies & putting forward none of their own beyond tax cuts.

If they pulled off a coup they would have to stand by it & every fruit of that poisoned tree.

They literally don’t know how.
A coup ends the whole idea of an opposing party. It leaves Republicans in full control

Even with their full time propaganda network, they can’t pretend jettisoning the whole-ass Constitution doesn’t mean they’re in charge.

They haven’t had to stand by a choice since Eisenhower
If there was any chance at all of the Sedition Caucus pulling this coup off, they would never do it.

Their grift, their prestige, their safety, their rhetoric all depend on a functioning system not stomped into chaos by civil war against the majority they would disenfranchise.
Any given Republican would rather eat their own face on live TV than make a public decision & be held responsible for its consequences

That’s why McConnell is their savior. He blocks everything so they never even have to vote, their names are attached to no actual choices, ever.
While it looks like 140 Reps & 12 Angry Republicans in the Senate are making a choice now, they’re really not.

They know Mom is coming to turn off the stove before they get hurt & sternly tell them they must be more careful in the future

This is the safest rebellion imaginable.
These Republican traitors—and they are—get to play out their little Mr. Smith Goes to the Confederacy fantasy, reap donations & loyalty from the base they’ve radicalized.

Then the bell will ring & all the children will stop their games & go home while teacher cleans up the mess.
There is absolutely no risk for Cruz, Hawley, anyone

They own most of the media & are supported by a sea of dark money & motives. Trump showed them they don’t have to care

& they never have to own drowning this country in blood or the actual disaster of their daydream theocracy
So I’m not surprised Republicans are willing to openly commit sedition. I’m surprised more of them don’t.

Even the “liberal” media is reluctant to go hard on them & their voters never will. This is a perfect performance piece for them.

It means nothing & costs us everything.
But I maintain that if there was a chance in hell of this working, they would make a lot of noise & then say the system tied their hands & let a previously automatic system proceed.

They don’t want to catch the car. They can’t fucking drive. Barking is so much more fun.
Of course the damage they cause is enormous & will be with us for a long time.

Us, not them.

They will keep tending their white supremacist garden & harming everyone outside their bubble. That’s following your bliss, for a Republican.

More from Politics

So let's see a show of hands: how many of you even knew Huber was digging into the Clinton Foundation? While he was assisting Horowitz in his digging into the FISC/Steele Dossier/Fusion GPS/Perkins Coie/DNC/Hillary campaign stuff?


I'm sure Huber is coming to DC *only* to discuss Clinton Foundation things with Meadows and his committee.

He for certain, like, won't be huddling with Horowitz or that new guy, Whitaker while he's in town. That would NEVER HAPPEN. [wink wink wink!] 😉

I just spent a year and a half telling you they will SHOW YOU what they are REALLY DOING when they are READY.

Not before.

No matter how much whining is done about it.

I'm exhausted but it's worth it.

Now you know why they're f**king TERRIFIED of Whitaker, the closer tapped by Trump to come in late for the hysterical fireworks that will ensue soon.

Look who's suddenly fund raising for his legal defen- er, I mean, ha ha - his reelection campaign!
"3 million people are estimated not to have official photo ID, with ethnic minorities more at risk". They will "have to contact their council to confirm their ID if they want to vote"

This is shameful legislation, that does nothing to tackle the problems with UK elections.THREAD


There is no evidence in-person voter fraud is a problem, and it wd be near-impossible to organise on an effective scale. Campaign finance violations, digital disinformation & manipulation of postal voting are bigger issues, but these are crimes of the powerful, not the powerless.

In a democracy, anything that makes it harder to vote - in particular, anything that disadvantages one group of voters - should face an extremely high bar. Compulsory voter ID takes a hammer to 3 million legitimate voters (disproportionately poor & BAME) to crack an imaginary nut

If the government is concerned about the purity of elections, it should reflect on its own conduct. In 2019 it circulated doctored news footage of an opponent, disguised its twitter feed as a fake fact-checking site, and ran adverts so dishonest that even Facebook took them down.

Britain's electoral law largely predates the internet. There is little serious regulation of online campaigning or the cash that pays for it. That allows unscrupulous campaigners to ignore much of the legal framework erected since the C19th to guard against electoral misconduct.

Хајде да направимо мали осврт на случај Мика Алексић .

Алексић је жртва енглеске освете преко Оливере Иванчић .
Мика је одбио да снима филм о блаћењу Срба и мењању историје Срба , иза целокупног пројекта стоји дипломатски кор Британаца у Београду и Оливера Иванчић


Оливера Илинчић је иначе мајка једне од његових ученица .
Која је претила да ће се осветити .

Мика се налази у притвору због наводних оптужби глумице Милене Радуловић да ју је наводно силовао човек од 70 година , са три бајпаса и извађеном простатом пре пет година

Иста персона је и обезбедила финансије за филм преко Беча а филм је требао да се бави животом Десанке Максимовић .
А сетите се и ко је иницирао да се Десанка Максимовић избаци из уџбеника и школства у Србији .

И тако уместо романсиране верзије Десанке Максимовић утицај Британаца

У Србији стави на пиједестал и да се Британци у Србији позитивно афирмишу како би се на тај начин усмерила будућност али и мењао ток историје .
Зато Мика са гнушањем и поносно одбија да снима такав филм тада и почиње хајка и претње која потиче из британских дипломатских кругова

Најгоре од свега што је то Мика Алексић изговорио у присуству високих дипломатских представника , а одговор је био да се све неће на томе завршити и да ће га то скупо коштати .
Нашта им је Мика рекао да је он свој живот проживео и да могу да му раде шта хоће и силно их извређао
A THREAD ON @SarangSood

Decoded his way of analysis/logics for everyone to easily understand.

Have covered:
1. Analysis of volatility, how to foresee/signs.
2. Workbook
3. When to sell options
4. Diff category of days
5. How movement of option prices tell us what will happen

1. Keeps following volatility super closely.

Makes 7-8 different strategies to give him a sense of what's going on.

Whichever gives highest profit he trades in.


2. Theta falls when market moves.
Falls where market is headed towards not on our original position.


3. If you're an options seller then sell only when volatility is dropping, there is a high probability of you making the right trade and getting profit as a result

He believes in a market operator, if market mover sells volatility Sarang Sir joins him.


4. Theta decay vs Fall in vega

Sell when Vega is falling rather than for theta decay. You won't be trapped and higher probability of making profit.
