Thread of my short #SNP20 speech - The British Government are pressing ahead with their constitutional priorities regardless of the current pandemic. Brexit has happened and our parliament is under attack.

Whilst our Scottish Government is rightly focused on Covid, we must act quickly to protect our democracy.

To those who say that a referendum can happen only once in a generation I say there is nowhere that is written in stone. Not in the Edinburgh Agreement. Not in the Smith Commission.

The Northern Ireland Act provides that there need only be 7 years between border polls on the question of Irish reunification. 
 
Even allowing for the very different context, why should it be any different for Scotland?

With respect to devolution 18 years passed between the 1979 and 1997 referendums. During that time a majority in favour of devo was ignored by the Tories for more than a decade. That alone should give pause for thought to those who say we don’t need a Plan B

LDF-UDF:

Why did Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan (PV) say what he did about IUML?

Even in 2016 when LDF won, @iumlofficial /UDF won 18 seats from Malabar/North Kerala area. Note that LDF has only 9 Muslim names within its list of MLAs.

PV has always been attempting to break the UDF-IUML unity and influence in North Kerala region.

As the CPM secretary, he attempted to split the votes by supporting Madani, Indian National League (a breakaway faction of IUML), KT Jaleel (an ind).

Madani is now in jail.

Don’t believe? In 2009, the LDF candidate in Ponnani was Madani nominee – Hussian Randathani. He lost to ET Muhammed Basheer.

A group of people within IUML had the party for not being angry and fierce enough in the aftermath of the Babri incident. They wanted IUML to breakaway from the Congress. When IUML did not, they broke away and formed INL. It was led by Ibrahim Sulaiman Sait.

INL has 1 MLA – PTA Rahim - in Assembly & they are part of LDF. PTA Rahim was with IUML. Left it. Joined hands with the Left in 2005 to win Panchayat polls. Defeated K Muraleedharan in Koduvally with help of LDF. Formed his own Party – National Secular Conference. Then joined INL

First of all, I just passed 6k followers and I’m floored. I am absolutely amazed that so many people find why I say interesting enough that they might wasn’t to here more.

Or the memes make you crack up.

Either way, I thank you all

Recently I posted a ridiculous painting of trump portrayed as a hero... I absolutely suggested that, by portraying him as a hero, the artist should bear some responsibility for inciting violence.

By this I did not mean legal responsibility, but rather a personal responsibility.

It probably will not surprise many of you, but I am an artist.

Art is definitely protected by the first amendment.

I have said

before that those with an audience and any influence bear some responsibility for what they put out. That’s the top of the info supply chain. If you use your influence to peddle disinformation /hate speech and incite violence, then the results are on you.

I hope this helps clarify my intent.

When I was a kid, the news, with the exception of the occasional fluff piece, was terribly boring.
Monotone anchors told the audience about the days events.

They reported facts with no spin on it.

I think news as infotainment

Dear the @USArmy @USMarshalsHQ @USSOCOM @82ndABNDiv @USNationalGuard @SpaceForceDoD @usairforce do you really realize that the election cheaters won, even when there was FOREIGN interferences in 2020 national election? @DNI_Ratcliffe @SpaceForceCSO

What has been happing not only N America but N the world is what’s called a social Paradigm Shift. There 2 ways to experience that, 1. Thu knowledge - education

Major leak 'exposes' members and 'lifts the lid' on the Chinese Communist Party

If not toned down by Biden, Harris will push for the following in foreign policy: (1) greater aggression& covert support to European anti-Russians, and Turkey against Russia - and more active interventions into Belarus, Ukraine, Georgia, and against Armenia in favour of Azeris'.

I've seen a lot of praise for this Kevin Williamson piece on Trump and the GOP. I obviously agree with the "Trump is bad" sentiment, which accounts for its popularity among Never Trumpers. However....

There are a couple massive flaws worth highlighting, because they're characteristic of the poisons that inhabit even many species of anti-Trump conservatism.

The first his Williamson's whitewashing of William F. Buckley's support for white supremacy:

Williamson justifies Buckley's support for disenfranchising blacks on the grounds that Buckley also wanted to disenfranchise "unqualified" whites.

But that was not on the table. What was on the table was measures to equalize voting for blacks and whites. Buckley opposed them.

And while his view "evolved," that means that he gave up on restoring de jure segregation after he lost his fight to preserve it.

His principle didn't change.

So, here's a story. You've heard me talk about my cousin in Arizona before. (A ton of you sewed masks & sent them to her for distribution to the local Navajo community, thank you!) Post-2016, she took a look at her AZ community & decided to get involved in local politics.

She started looking up who to talk to in her precinct, and realized that there was no Democratic precinct captain/committee member for her precinct. In fact, there were a *ton* of precincts where no one had run for the Dem. precinct. Every precinct had a GOP captain though.

For non-USians, every precinct has both a Democratic & Repubican precinct captain or committee person. They campaign on behalf of their party's candidates. Talk to voters, canvass door-to-door, share info about voting. They're critical for GOTV efforts & it's an elected position.

Precincts are tiny compared to things like counties or cities. You really get to know the voters, because they're literally your neighbors. But because it's not a role with power, a lot of precinct roles are vacant where there's a clear (or assumed) one-party advantage.

So my cousin and her husband (who had just retired) got involved. She ran for precinct captain in the next election and won. They recruited more Dems to run for these vacant precinct captain seats. They started going to local party meetings, learning the system, getting informed.

While Ted Cruz incites sedition over election results in swing states Trump lost, Cruz's own state of Texas doesn't pass a smell test.

Do we just accept their election results without question?

A TX county who's actually SUING Trump also voted for him for the 1st time ever?🤔👇

Zapata County TX is 95% Hispanic/Latino

In Feb 2020 County Commissioners voted 5-0 to deny entry to US Customs & Border Protection

Then the County actually SUED Trumps WH claiming the building of the wall was a racist assault on residents

But Trump had a record breaking win?🤔

Since 1920 Zapata County hadn't voted for a Republican President
In 2016 Clinton trounced Trump winning 2-1
Yet in 2020 Trump flipped a 33-pt loss
into a 5-pt win?

We should accept this without question?

Especially considering that in 2020 Dems won EVERY OTHER RACE in Zapata

Zapata County had 725 new voters

2016 Votes for Prez =3142
2020 Votes for Prez = 3867

Did these new voters all vote for Trump? Could be since Trump got over 1000 new votes

2016 Trump Votes =1029
2020 Trump Votes = 2032

In 2020 Biden got 12% LESS VOTES than Hillary in 2016🤔

When I looked at Kentucky I found a county with more registered voters than age-eligible people. Same in Zapata.

In 2018 they estimated 6,683 people above the age of 18
In 2020 they had 8,257 registered voters

Zapata seems to have 24% MORE registered voters than people over 18?

The betrayal yesterday is of no surprise to me. I had hoped for the best, but truly expected his worst, and that’s what we got.

#JudasPence was necessary to finish setting up the trap. I believe we are in the last few moments before we actually SPRING the trap.

Harvard’s Institute of Politics has removed @RepStefanik from its Senior Advisory Committee.

In a letter to other members of the committee, Dean of the Faculty of the Kennedy School Doug Elmendorf writes...

2/ “My request was not about political parties, political ideology, or her choice of candidate for president. Rather, in my assessment, Elise has made public assertions about voter fraud in November’s presidential election that have no basis in evidence,...

3/“... and she has made public statements about court actions related to the election that are incorrect. Moreover, these assertions and statements do not reflect policy disagreements but bear on the foundations of the electoral process..

“I made this request to Elise mindful of her important contributions to the crucial mission of the Institute of Politics over a long period, beginning with her role as a student leader (she was in the class of 2006)...

Thank you to @rmneiss for letting us play with the “Official Statement”generator yesterday. His @realpresssecbot was one of the primary inspirations for this account, so this is kind of a perfect bookend.

I started @TrumpEmail because I couldn't believe the tenor of the vitriol and the brazenness of the lies when Trump emails unexpectedly started showing up in my inbox. I was surprised nobody else was already putting these into the public record and took it on as a pet project.

3️⃣,6️⃣6️⃣6️⃣ emails later, it is safe to say I did NOT know what I was getting myself into.

But I’m glad I stuck with it. This felt important; a sitting president raising money in this fashion with these tactics needed a light shined on it.

From the SC GOP - 2021 Resolutions. Pathetic attempt to rally the party and not one mention of the fight for our legally elected @POTUS @realDonaldTrump @SCGOP 👇
1.
Dear Fellow Republican,

Sometimes we get so caught up in what's happening in our political world...

2.
that we can lose sight of what's important and what to do next. Don't let that happen this year! If conservatives want to be successful long-term, then we have to THINK long-term.

With that in mind, here are a few suggested New Year's resolutions for conservatives in 2021.

3.
And stay tuned for part two! I'll send that around shortly

Focus on the Fundamentals
No matter how things change from cycle to cycle, the need for fundamentals remains the same. The most fundamental element of politics is people, and the most fundamental principle is addition

4.
More organized people means more political influence.

Find, or create, and focus on projects that you or your group can use to help identify and better organize more people who think like you do.

5.
Coordinate With Other Conservatives
It's simple: we're stronger when we work together and easier to beat when divided. So, focus on finding ways to work with other conservatives on sharing information, picking which battles to fight, which targets to emphasize, and then ..

these are all things republicans really said

democrats forced lenders to crash the housing market. george soros manipulated the markets too. this led to obama. obama used hypnosis to convince people to vote for him.

obama used acorn and the new black panthers to steal races for him.

bill and hillary have personally killed dozens of people. hillary got 3 million illegal votes counted and didn't really win the popular vote.

joe biden got thousands of people killed during h1n1 and made billions through his son but republicans never bothered to say anything about it.

the evidence of biden's crimes are in a laptop and also tucker carlson has them but somebody stole his mail.

im leaving so many of these out.
