I was wrong. He left. I own it. Now I'll keep my word. I can't say that I regret it. It's appropriate.

The fact that I was wrong that Trump would engineer a way to stay in the WH, & potentially wrong about an opinion I never vocalized, doesn't change what I laid out all yr 1/

 And that's this: Trump was a Trojan Horse. Trump herded & set up & sold out the Christians in this country who were too blinded by the cult of personality that he and his fake enemies engineered. He pretended to be fiscally conservative, then destroyed us with warp speed. 2/
He pretended to be pro 2 Am, as he encouraged red flag laws & bump stock bans. He pushed 5G, ignored chem trails, & intentionally & obviously sabotaged his own litigation re things like "DACA," he pretended like a wall he knew he could never build was the only way to stop 3/
illegal immigration, he pretended to want to stop child trafficking, & then prosecuted far less of those crimes than even Obama, he claimed to fight ISIS while moving troops just far enough back in Syria to allow Turkey to invade ... & free ISIS, & then assassinated the only 4/
guy who actually was fighting ISIS, he shut down the country for a wall he can't build bc 67% of the border is private property, but never over TRILLIONS of dollars in socialist pork or Planned Parenthood funding, he pretended to fight through tweets, rally comedy tours, & 5/
Exec Orders that he knows are worthless & toothless, he shit down our country while complaining about it, issued a Dec of National Emergency to fund it, claimed to defund the WHO of $1.19 million, & then turned around & gave $1.19 BILLION to Gavi, the primary funder of WHO 6/
He pushed hard to get an unnecessary poisonous vaxx, a vaxx so abhorrent to the pro life position that even Jorge Bergoglio is excited about it, & he used our money to do it, while convincing the "pro life" community to get excited about cannabalistic poison bc they can't see 7/
past their disgusting adoration for a man who did nothing but mock everything they believe for 4 years while doing more to destroy it than any other POTUS in history.

So, he didn't stay. Ok. People who have hated everything I've said because they can't refute it can hang 8/
their bitter small hats on the fact that I was wrong about that.

But he didn't need to. He destroyed the country, walked out a false victim hero, and handed it off to a stooge to take the blame.

He didn't even have his DOJ prosecute PP for selling baby parts.

Why?

9/
I guess the future will answer that question. He owes more than $4 bil to the Rothschilds for bailing him out. Maybe this was the cost. Maybe there is more. But it wasn't that he had good intentions and was thwarted. Not.a.chance.

10/
Dark days ahead, and now we'll get to have Vigano claim that his blasphemy about Trump being the Katechon was correct, that everything is going to hell because Trump didn't "win," & that will be the most disgusting lie of them all. I was afraid of that. Hopefully, I'm wrong. 11/
We'll see. But, I was wrong about Trump leaving, so I'll keep my promise for now. But let's be very clear about what that promise was.

The promise was "if Trump leaves politics & goes back to the business world" ... not if he "leaves the white house."

12/
I wrote it that way intentionally. So, I technically don't have to do this, but I think it's appropriate, at least for a little while, because I'm honestly surprised that he left. Depending on how the next few months play out, I've some soul searching to do.

13/
I won't delete my account until the rest plays out. Meanwhile, I'll be silent.

Frankly, if they're going to proceed with Trump's false martyrdom with an impeachment show, while using him as a honeypot to categorize & roundup his supporters, I don't want to watch it anyway.

14/
God bless you, my friends. You've been a real blessing to me. I'm sorry if I ever steered you wrong.

Peace of Christ be with you.

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.

Dear Media, here is the clear truth:

Donald Trump is explicitly seeking to turn America into a white Ethnostate.

He is following an openly racist plan, crafted by open racists.

If you report this story any other way you are not reporting the facts or being objective.

1/

If you think this is an extreme position or an opinion, you haven't read enough about the white nationalist movement, Stephen Miller, Bannon, Sessions, etc.

Eliminating birthright citizenship is a central plank in a well-articulated, coherent movement to make America whiter.
2/

Blaming Soros is a central tool. It is part of a (crazy, wrong, but internally coherent) theory of the case:
- By nature, people can only form society with their closer kin.
- Yadda Yadda (the arguments are terrible) White people have certain values that non-whites don't.

3/

(continuing the white power explanation)

- All whites, by nature, would know they only want a white society.

- An outside group--hint, it's the Jews!--is tricking them into going against their nature (white nationalists think they know a lot about core human nature).

4/

(continuing views I hate to explain them)

- There is an existential race to save America. By 2046, it will become majority minority and then (in this fevered nonsensical view) there will be a civil war because unlike people can't form stable societies.

1/9 Impeachment fun fact: sitting Congressman #AlceeHastings, participating in current #impeachment, was himself impeached. He was fed judge convicted on 8 articles related to bribery/lying under oath. 4-years later, he was in #Congress. Following is from

2/9 “In 1981, a fed grand jury indicted Judge Hastings along with his friend William Borders, a D.C. lawyer. Hastings was charged with conspiracy/obstruction of justice for soliciting a $150,000 bribe in return for reducing the sentences of two mob-connected felons.” #corruption

3/9 “A year after Borders was convicted, the result of an FBI sting, Hastings's case came before the criminal court. Despite Borders’ conviction, and the fact that Hastings had indeed reduced the sentences of the two felons, he was acquitted...and returned to his judicial post.”

4/9 “Subsequently, suspicions arose that Hastings had lied and falsified evidence during the trial in order to obtain an acquittal. A special committee of the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals began a new probe into the Hastings case.”

5/9 “The resulting three-year investigation ended with the panel concluding that Hastings did indeed commit perjury, tamper with evidence, and conspire to gain financially by accepting bribes. The panel recommended further action to the U.S. Judicial Conference...”

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?

Krishna & Paarijaata apaharana #sculpture #story #Thread

Parijata tree was in Indraloka which was one of gifts he received from churning of Ocean to obtain Amrit.

This beautiful #sculpture depicts Indra Dev chasing Shri Krishna for stealing parijatha tree branch from Indralok


📸- sculpture on outer walls of Hoysaleswara temple, Halebeedu,Karnataka

Krishna has 4hands with Shankha,Chakra,Mace&Lotus holding Satyabhama tightly,mounted on Garuda. Garuda has a beautifully carved Parijata tree trunk in left hand& a weapon in his right hand, attacking Indra.

Other side is Indra,riding on Airavata.Indra can be seen attacking Krishna with his Vajrayutham.Airavata is charging towards Garuda.Wife of Indra can be seen in pillion seat.Just look at the Detailing of Garuda & Airavat sculptures.

So what led Krishna to steal parijatha tree👇

Narada Rishi once returning from Indralok collected few Parijatha flowers&reached Dwaraka.There he met Bhagwan Krishna&gave the heavenly flowers to him.Narada explained the greatness of Parijatha flowers & also said that these flowers must be given to the most loved ones.


Despite knowing Satyabhama’s anger,Krishna gave it to Rukmani Devi.Narada Rishi then went to palace of Satyabhama. He narrated whole incident that had happened.Satyabhama turned furious on hearing that Krishna gave Parijatha to Rukmini.Then Satyabhama shows her anger to Krishna.

1/ new essay: What's next for marketplace startups? Reinventing the $10 trillion service economy, that's what. Co-authored with @ljin18 https://t.co/fgKbrHTnH5. A short thread 👇

2/ Marketplace startups have done incredibly well over the first few decades of the internet, reinventing the way we shop for goods, but have been less successful services. It's bc services are complex, subjective, fragmented, and often in real life. Makes it hard

3/ There's been 4 major eras at making the service economy work online. The Listings Era, the unbundled Craiglist era, the Uber for X era, and the Managed Marketplace era


4/ Each era has added more value than the last, and utilized technology innovations, from internet to social / "read/write web" to mobile. The "Unbundling Craigslist" era was particularly epic at generating startup ideas


5/ The problem is, all the low-hanging fruit has been picked off. The techniques that got us to here won't get us to the next phase. So we have to do some pretty different things. That's why "Managed Marketplaces" have been a big deal - hire folks as W-2s, certify quality, etc.

A thread on how absurd the UK is on transgender issues and how the UK got so transphobic

In 2015 Parliament held an inquiry looking into the state of Transgender equality. Trans people of all stripes outlined many different problems across many, many different areas.

As a result Parliament created a list of recommendations including legal recognition for non binary people, gender recognition act reform, allowing 16 year olds to change their legal gender and reform of NHS gender identity services.

The government under Theresa May ignored everything that was recommended except for Gender recognition act reform. This act came into law in 2003 and gave trans men and women (but not non-binary people) the ability to legally change their gender on their birth certificates.

The process at that time to change your birth certificate under the GRA was to make an application to a panel of cisgender people who would decide if you were sufficiently trans based on your payslips, photo ID and bank statements. You would not get the option to speak to them.

(Also this process cost £140 which is just a tax on being trans)
