Did you know Biden wants to get rid of something called "stepped up basis"??? How does this affect you! When your parents pass and leave you the family house normally you would inherit that property at what it is worth today.

HOW IT ENDS: The heated partisan politics of Capitol Hill will jump to scorching today, when TRUMP’s staunchest GOP allies will launch a formal, public and futile effort to keep him in power by overturning the results of the Nov election. w/⁦Lillis⁩

The extraordinary gambit has convulsed the Capitol in the final days of Trump's reign and cleaved the GOP into warring factions - divisions that will bear long-lasting implications for both the future direction of the GOP and the success of ambitious 2024 hopefuls.

Such challenges have been tried before, but not on this scale: At least 13 Senate Republicans and more than 100 House Republicans are expected to vote to reject certification of Joe Biden’s EC victory

With Trump agitating his base and threatening to recruit primary challengers to run against disloyal lawmakers, many Republicans, particularly in the House, feel that it would be political suicide to defy him.

CANADA and the CHINESE CONNECTION. There are many facets to this, and we’re seeing how it’s all playing out right before our eyes. I lost my thread earlier, so I will be doing some quotes as opposed to writing it all out.

Friends here is my thread on Adani and his works..

"When Modi took office, he flew from Gujarat to the capital New Delhi in Mr Adani’s private jet — an open display of friendship that symbolised their concurrent rise to power

Records show details of several wire transfers totaling $14.46 million being received by the #Adani firm from this Seychelles entity.

Not only does the Adani group borrow directly from banks, it also uses a part of that money to buy equity in subsidiaries – and then pledges those shares to raise further

In Dec 2018, the Gujarat govt passed an order allowing an Adani thermal power project to charge higher prices for electricity, despite the Supreme Court ruling against this in 2017

No contempt of Court?

As an American citizen here's what i need to see happen today in Washington to deal with the political crisis unfolding. First, I need to hear from Christopher Wray, the head of the FBI. We need to know what the plan is -- the plan to find out how yesterday happened and how

2. everyone who participated will be discovered, investigated, prosecuted and jailed for a very long time. This crime against our nation can not go unpunished. Those seditious Americans need to face real consequences or our democracy and rule of law are a joke.

3. President elect Biden, who was perfect yesterday, needs to make a clear statement that bringing to justice the traitors who overran our Capitol yesterday will be a priority for him. Lawlessness will not stand in the Biden Administration. I want him to address the feelings of

4. black Americans this morning who once again have turned on their TV's to see two justice systems in America. And i want him to send a message to domestic terrorists in our country that they will be held to account for any attacks on government or their fellow Americans.

5. I want Democratic leaders in the House to make clear how they will hold the President accountable while he is still in office. Whether it's impeachment articles being brought to the floor or a censure motion, we all need to put every elected official on the record with a vote

Days after a Capitol insurrection that left 5 people dead, and as we learn of domestic terrorism threats ahead of inauguration, I still can't wrap my head around House Republicans having a full-blown tantrum about having to walk through a metal detector.

What is going on here?

At best, these GOP lawmakers are embarrassingly entitled.

At worst, they’re sneaking guns onto the House floor and don't want to get caught -- and terrifying their colleagues in the meantime.

These are actual quotes from House Republicans reacting to have to walk through a metal detector to get onto the House floor.

“Horse shit!”

“You are creating a problem you do not understand the ramifications of!”

“You can’t stop me, I’m on my way to a vote!"

The Capitol Police officers by the metal detector -- some of whom just saved these lawmakers' lives last week -- had to stand there and get yelled at, and be told the situation is "unconstitutional."

There is nothing in the Constitution about walking through a metal detector.

Never mind that you're not allowed to bring a gun onto the House floor, which it sure sounds like Rep. Madison Cawthorn did.

Some lawmakers are afraid of EACH OTHER. Some are raising concerns about Trump allied-lawmakers being conspirators with the violent insurrectionists.

Here it is, abridged, and with pictures:

"I have listened to everyone else’s hatred, rhetoric and outright lies for the last four years, so now I am having my say.

I clearly & categorically condem the violence that we witnessed in the Capitol building in Washington yesterday during the meeting of the Electors. I believe that the election was rigged& Trump was robbed but violence in any shape or form has no place in a democratic setting.1/

..All matters concerning the American Presidency ought to be resolved in a peaceful manner & I am glad that President Donald Trump had the presence of mind to tell the protesters to disperse and go home. As much as I love @realDonaldTrump and believe that he was cheated out..2/

..of the election I will not support any action from his supporters that would disturb the peace, jeopardise life & property or lead to a civil war in America. Those of us that love & believe in him fought a good fight & stood firm, regardless of the odds& the insults, right..3/

..to the end. It is time to accept the reality of a Biden presidency and move on. We must not let this matter divide and destroy America and indeed the world any further. This is the time to build bridges and come together. This is the time to emulate great men like..4/

...Nigeria's @GEJonathan, let things go & maintain the peace for the sake of all. In 2015 he was robbed & rigged out of the election too but he refused to urge his supporters to indulge in violence, he conceeded his right to fight till the end & he put the peace, safety and..5/

1. Thread: Making a New Political Alignment Work
 
There has been much speculation, in light of recent events in Perak, that Pakatan Harapan could forge some kind of cooperation with UMNO and Barisan Nasional.
 
Anything taking place in Perak will have national repercussions

2. A development of this kind will naturally be a major, if not earth-shaking event in Malaysian politics.
 
As a KEADILAN MP, I firmly believe that PH is the best platform to achieve a progressive, equitable Malaysia

3. Any new alignment must have the interest of the rakyat at heart—this is non-negotiable.
 
However, it must also be recognised that political realignments are nothing new in Malaysia

4. After the May 13 1969 tragedy, the National Consultative Council was created by Tun Abdul Razak, in part to restore socio-political as well as economic normalcy for Malaysia

5. Except DAP, all the other main Opposition parties took part in the NCC – PAS, the People’s Progressive Party and Gerakan. DAP was protesting the detention of its Secretary General Lim Kit Siang.

The NYSBA strongly condemned the violent uprising that occurred at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, orchestrated by individuals bent on subverting the will of the voters by disrupting the certification of the 2020 presidential election

Thankfully, Congress overcame this assault and fulfilled its constitutional responsibility in certifying the Biden-Harris victory. However, we must address the root cause of this abhorrent incident, the blame for which lies first and foremost with President Donald Trump.

But the president did not act alone.

Hours before the angry mob stormed the Capitol walls, Trump’s personal attorney, Rudolph Giuliani, addressed a crowd of thousands at the White House, reiterating baseless claims of widespread election fraud in the presidential election and the Georgia U.S. Senate runoffs.

“If we're wrong, we will be made fools of, but if we're right a lot of them will go to jail,” Mr. Giuliani said. “Let's have trial by combat.”
