/1 This is a chronicle of @RepTedBudd's twitter feed since the election. He tweeted more than 25 times about the lack of election integrity and continued to push a LIE of voter fraud in support of Trump's narrative the election was stolen. It's a long thread.

/2 However, Budd never once said anything about the exhaustive court cases that never found any fraud. Budd sent a letter to AG Barr to investigate. Barr saw no need to do so and saw no evidence of widespread fraud. Yet, Budd refused to even mention this fact.

/4 Why would you ask someone to look into something but refuse to acknowledge that they told you there's nothing to see? Because your agenda is to sow doubt in a free and fair election. The effects exploded on Jan 6th when the insurrectionists tried to stop the Electoral count.

/5 We must hold these men and women accountable. They are dangerous and now people are dead because of them.

/6 - On Nov 7th, Budd starts with there is nothing wrong with making sure all legal votes are counted. This post makes you think there were illegal votes cast.

My MP @RobertLargan has made public his desire for his whole voting record to be recognised and not just, say, his votes on opposition day motions.

On Tuesday, he voted 9 times on amendments to the #TradeBill.

https://t.co/7fh5abYJTp

At his own request, let's take a look..

Amendment 1: To give parliament and the devolved nations a role in the scrutiny and approval of trade agreements.

Mr Largan voted against this.

11 Tory MPs rebelled against this removal of their own powers.

Mr Largan did

Amendment 2: to assess the human rights violations of countries with which we have or are contemplating forming trade agreements.

Mr Largan voted against this.

1 Tory MP rebelled in this vote. It was not Mr Largan.

Amendment 3: to consider the revocation of any trade agreement with a country that has committed genocide.

Mr Largan voted against this.

34 Tory MPs rebelled in this vote. Not Mr

Amendment 4: to protect the NHS and care organisations from control from outside the UK via trade agreements with other countries.

Mr Largan voted against this.

So did every other Tory MP.

1. Justice Stephen Breyer was nominated by Pres. Bill Clinton on May 17, 1994 and has served since August 3, 1994.

2. "He (Breyer) insists that although decisions of foreign courts are not binding on U.S. courts, they could be “instructive,” and American judges should be free to cite and apply foreign law in cases which come before

3. Justice Breyer is married to Joanna Hare.

4. "Her family is also enormously wealthy, having started the Pearson group, which today is a media empire run by Joanna's older brother, Michael J Hare.. A Apr1994 financial disclosure statement, the Breyers list ownership of $2,324,958 in PEARSON

5. "The Breyers vacation at a rustic 320 acre retreat in New Hampshire, as well as having access to a house owned by Joanna Breyer's mother on the island of St. Kitts in the Caribbean."

1/ There's been lots of speculation about why Antrim County, MI initially reported incorrect results on Wed. The results have since been corrected, but people are naturally wondering what happened. Here's the likely technical explanation and my assessment.

A few people are suggesting that the impeachment delay is necessary and unavoidable because of the time it takes to whip votes (make sure that the votes are there and the shakier edges of the coalition are firmed up).

This may well be true.

But as ever, messaging matters.

First Thread: Before Trump

So my Ph D treaties on Twitter, about how Trump split up the GOP. We start with history of course. And we go to the political era before Trump. To the origins.

No. Not Sarah Palin.

No. Not Newt Gingrich. The origins:

George Wallace, the last racist

So reality check to my younger Tweeps, some who do not know this. Up to the 1960s, it was the DEMOCRATIC party that was the racist party and the Republicans stood for equal rights. Yes that is true.

The South had 'Dixie-crats' who were KKK Nazis, Democrats who were openly racist

The last Racist to openly run for President to win some (Southern) states - was former Democrat - turned Independent, George Wallace.

Democrats threw the racists out of their party and embraced the minorities, with a passion. Today it seems impossible to imagine DEMs as racists

George Wallace ran as an Independent (the American Independent Party, does that sound MAGA to you?)

When George Wallace's runs ended, the racists had no party to call their own. They infiltrated the Republican party who tolerated them. THAT WAS A MISTAKE

We need to understand the roots to Maganutters. George Wallace & Dixie-Crat / American Independent Party racists were mostly from the South. Land owners, whites. Gun-lovers. Fake Christians (churches were strongly segregated, so WHITE Christians in South easily racists)

NEW: Trump campaign briefing call going on. They claim Trump will Pennsylvania with 40k votes. "We feel like the president is in a very, very very good position." Very bullish. They are not backing down.

Trump campaign adviser @JasonMillerinDC says Trump will win Arizona. "Anyone who has called this race is just plain wrong.”

Trump campaign manager @BillStepien: "If we count all legally cast ballots we believe the president will win.”

Summary. Trump campaign argues they will
- Win Pennsylvania by 40k-ish votes
- Win Arizona by 30k-ish votes

Note R districts still to be come in Michigan + Wisconsin
Are upbeat on Nevada with the race still tight.

Bottom line: They are saying loud Trump will win.

This is how Trump team is framing legal challenges

“We want to make sure all legally cast ballots are counted. We also want to make sure illegally cast ballots are not counted" - Trump adviser @JasonMillerinDC

You can count the people who have the full picture on two hands.
Of those (less than 10 people) only three are non-military.
Why is this relevant?

✅💥✅💥 Situation Update, Dec. 8th – All ballots after Nov. 3rd are NULL AND VOID; Texas files lawsuit with SCOTUS to nullify rigged elections in FOUR swing states

💥 👉 Today’s Situation Update covers the bombshells now getting catapulted into the election battle,
[M. Adams]

Please stop asking me what happens if Mike Pence calls for a "ten day window" or whatever. NOTHING happens. Nothing a fucking thing. He doesn't have that ability. It would be like me calling for giraffes to grow wings. Please stop asking me about obviously imaginary things.

Those of you who insist on fretting and panicking over imaginary bullshit are becoming a real liability to our side. You're ensuring that those of us who want to fight and win important battles, are instead stuck babysitting your panicky asses. PLEASE STOP. You're hurting us.

Some of you panickers have become such a gullible and pathetic joke, even Ted Cruz is laughing at you now. He knows he can't magically overturn the election with imaginary procedures. He's laughing his ass off at you for being gullible enough to fall for it. You're the joke now.

You fucking panickers are doing REAL HARM to our side. You make us weak. You hand the republicans leverage over us that they don't have. You derail our agenda. You make sure we get nowhere. You're my enemy. You always have been. Please go away, panickers, I detest you.

I do not want people in my audience who go around searching for imaginary things to panic over. I just don't. I never have. I never will. Sorry. That kind of shit makes me want to vomit. I will never be a babysitter for people who think it's cute to panic. Makes me nauseated.

Thread – Possible American Dystopias in 2021

1. Dystopia: an imagined place or state in which everything is unpleasant or bad, typically a totalitarian or environmentally degraded one.

2. I read an article the other day that predicted future dystopian possibilities in the US given all that we have seen and what has transpired in 2020. Talk about thought-provoking and frightening! Here are some excerpts.

3.

The general election of 2020 will be the stuff of argument and analysis for many years to come, here and abroad.

3A. Suffice to say here that a panicky over-reaction to the onset of the COVID-19 virus produced economic hardship and social disorder, compounded by months of riots, looting and arson afflicting hundreds of cities (almost all Democrat-governed) beginning in late May 2020.

3B. All of this set the stage for an election won overwhelmingly on November 3rd by President Donald Trump and lost by him in the following weeks to his Democrat opponent.

🧵 For those who have been as interested as I am in the discussion about Congress using Section 3 of the 14th Amendment against Trump, this is a thread of scholarly commentary on the subject. Please feel free to add additional links.

Historian Eric Foner was among the first to suggest using it and he later wrote up his argument in the WaPo here:

Two legal scholars, Gerald Magliocca and Bruce Ackerman also argued that using section 3 may be more effective than impeachment:

In the @nytimes, @brianbeutler and @deepakguptalaw say it section 3 should be used as a compliment to impeachment.

Political scientist and professor of law Mark Graber makes the case that section 3 can be invoked by legislation passed after Trump leaves office, which would also "retroactively void any action taken by President Trump after January 6, 2021."

@JoshuaMacias is a Political Prisoner & We Must Get Him Out of Jail

The picture below is NOT Joshua. But, if you click on the link, you'll see him and the legal defense fund we MUST support. Please give what you

🚨
It was QANON.
It was a CULT.
It was a PSYOP.

The insurrection last week was not just “political violence”, it was the result of a planned psychological operation.

It was an attack by a foreign power with the aid domestic terrorists. We must not forget.

#RIPQ #TTP

So, let's recap:
1. Probably through cheating, we "elected" a grifter fool slimebag white supremacist four years ago.
2. He immediately started us down the road to fascism via the news station controlled by what was once the Republicans but now the Fascist Party.

3. They did both evil racist things, like starting concentration camps and ignoring natural disasters in places where there were ppl of color and working to remove health care from everyone because people of color might get healthcare too.

4. So both evil racist things and also inexplicably stupid things like gutting the Clean Air and Water Act, trying to destroy as much wildlife as possible and deciding destroying the entire planet wld be a neat idea.

5. The people fought back hard for the healthcare and the states where more non-fascists lived did their part by marching peacefully, calling their reps daily, and running for office. The busiest group among these were women of color.

6. Meanwhile, a lot of weird things happen, including events where troops died and Twitler 2.0 lied every single day while looking lustfully at his daughter (which will always be super gross--people voted for a man who openly said he was sexually attracted to his own child)
