they should all be perp-walked out of Congress into waiting black vans, while OANN films the same for EVERY major news media outlet and network prime time talking head spewing the very commentary they have alleged against POTUS -

the Military, starting with the Joints Chiefs on down are is walking a fine line in watching this take place...some might say they are doing their jobs...I'm not convinced that we have to take the Nation to the precipice because layers need for f'ing evidence.

These people - and I use the term loosely - are a disgrace to this Nation and the American People.

USDoJ, FBI, CIA, NSA, DNI - ALL KNEW this was happening...

248 Years of the finest Democratic Republic in History.

Now only 7 days...to the waterfall's edge.

Ever Wonder what Romulus Augustulus felt like in the last days of the Roman Empire?

When the people tolerate BULLSHIT as accepted truth ignoring common sense and FACTS to the contrary, what comes next is not going to be pretty.

If the military KNOWS what it going on and shipping ARMED National Guardsmen to the front lines in Washington - that means the hire-ups KNOW TOO...that would be collusion, Misprision of Felony, Misprision of Treason...not good traits for Military officers.

Thanks Stewart! Election day at CDU's conference is just beginning. Speeches by candidates Laschet, Merz, Röttgen start at 9:45 (Berlin time, so in 10 mins), then the 1,001 delegates begin voting at 11:10.


First up is Armin Laschet, the continuity candidate. Key messages: US example of dangers of polarisation; CDU can't take "Merkel voters" for granted; change requires experience, trust and teamwork rather than just big ideas; namecheck for his more-popular running mate Jens Spahn.


Verdict: not a bad speech tbh, nicely organised around theme of trust and teamwork that marked his father's work as a miner; the warning about the dangers of polarisation captured Laschet's own strengths and the risk of electing Merz

Next up is Friedrich Merz, the right-wing veteran. Climate change, digitisation, ideas blah-blah [aka I'm not a blast from the past]; don't fear the future; "consensus and compromise" require more contest; CDU must return to the "real centre"; no left-wing majority in Germany.


Verdict: weak, weak, weak. No organising theme, no coherence, just buzzwords over substance. And coming from Merz, the (genuinely valid) case for more robust political debate in Germany just comes across as cynical and reactionary.
1/Following great stories by @jennymedina and @mannyNYT, sharing some of what I saw on election night, most of which I spent with Mexican-American Republicans in the Rio Grande Valley (Cameron and Hidalgo counties) w/ @IlanaPL on the 📸.

2/I had seen on social media before I arrived that Trump trains were happening locally and I was curious to see if he had gained meaningful ground (You know by now that Hillary won there in 2016 by 33 and 41 percentage points respectively.) ex:


3/I also wanted to see what it was like, in a red state allegedly turning purple, to be in a blue region that may have been moving in the opposite direction.

4/Aside from Twitter, it was hard to find coverage of the Trump trains (which, according to locals, had been going on every weekend for at least a month, with hundreds involved) or of growing local enthusiasm for Trump.

5/Late morning, I spoke to @MorganGrahamGOP, the first Latina head of the Cameron County Republicans, who expected modest but meaningful gains. “I don’t think he’s going to break 40%, but mid-high 30s. That doesn’t seem like a lot to folks,” she said, but in the RGV, it was.
Le 6 janvier, quand #Trump veut transformer le rituel de certification des grands électeurs au Congrès pour #Biden en ultime coup de force pour renverser le résultat de l'élection. Ma toute nouvelle chronique pour

2) Quelques éléments en plus de la nouvelle chronique dans @Lesjoursfr pour vous donner envie de vous abonner... Vous y apprendrez pourquoi #Pence ne peut donner aujourd'hui la victoire à #Trump lors du décompte au Congrès mais peu importe au


3)...comme le dévoile au grand jour l'entretien téléphonique #Trump/#Raffensperger, il ne s'agit plus de contester factuellement le résultat d'1 élection en justice selon les règles de droit mais d'obtenir son renversement par tous les moyens imaginables...fussent-ils imaginaires

4) D'ailleurs, comme l'avait prédit #Raffensperger au président #Trump, un tribunal fédéral en #Géorgie a rejeté hier sa demande de "décertification" des grands électeurs par le pouvoir judiciaire...Enième défaite

5) Et on est frappé en ce matin du 6 janvier, date habituelle de la formalité rituelle au Congrès, de relever après 2 mois d'1 contestation forcenée par #Trump des signaux d'affaiblissement des normes de consensus en #démocratie US...
