#Presidementia #TrumpLiesAmericansDie #TrumpBrainDroppings (7) After an incoherent ramble about his plan to march to the Capitol, an agitated & impaired Trump returns to Space Force, VA Cares, the stale old lines from 2019 super-spreader rallies."

#Presidementia #TrumpLiesAmericansDie #TrumpBrainDroppings (8) Trump is switching subject from grievance to grievance, from "bad things" to "it was a setup," & "Hillary Clinton is very unhappy because they didn't change votes for her." Unhinged, paranoid, delusional.

#Presidementia #TrumpLiesAmericansDie #TrumpBrainDroppings (9) Trump shouts out that the Georgia Senate election last night was rigged, fixed, corrupt, "and Kelly & David didn't have a chance." Then he repeats for 3rd time how he won every state in a landslide, but was robbed.

#Presidementia #TrumpLiesAmericansDie #TrumpBrainDroppings (10) Trump yells that "if we had just won 3 of the 7 states in question, we would be President, & the only backline we have's the veto of the President of the United States." No telling what he meant. Incoherent, strange.

#Presidementia #TrumpLiesAmericansDie #TrumpBrainDroppings (11) Trump continues his jacked up rant, falsely claiming Loeffler & Perdue were cheated because of the rigged voting machines. Says he has hundreds of pages of evidence he wants to read. He's out of touch with reality.

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.

BREAKING: @BorisJohnson confirms National Lockdown in England until mid Feb.

-Key message: Stay At Home.

ONLY leave home for:

A) Work (if WFH impossible)

B) Shopping for necessities

C) Exercise with 1 other person (either your household or 1 person, not both)

D) Care/ helping vulnerable person

E) Medical care or threat of harm/violence

NEW: Clinically extremely vulnerable should begin shielding.

If Biden sticks by Trump's U.S.-Taliban withdrawal deal, then he owns very little of the results, some of which won't be immaculate. Post-withdrawal, can talk about "concern" for any events as they unfold, reiterate commitment to hit terrorist groups with intent/capability... 1/

to harm U.S. and its interests, but generally practice benign distancing from internal politics of AFG. Can also say that he was fulfilling Trump's deal and the die was cast, even criticize it (and people like me) as needed for political reasons - but stick to plan knowing... 2/

...that he doesn't want to have to own an endless war he should know will remain a headache for US and a suck on resources better used elsewhere. 3/

4/ But if he reneges on the deal, the conflict becomes Biden's War. Whether based on some "conditions" or a "spirit" of the deal that isn't in the text for all to see, he'd have to make an active choice to return to what we've been doing - and not doing well at - for years.

5/ Then Biden owns the results. This will include continued violence, but this time with US/coalition forces in crosshairs. Deciding to remain won't wave magic wand & make things better than they were before the deal; conditions on ground still only "modicum of success" at best.

@Ihavenousefora1 @shipman96 She equated Jimmy D.'s simple "F you AOC" on youtube w/ actual violence. Which was a response to her gaslighting activists on forcing a M4A floor vote. And she seems to have an army of "shut down" trolls who speech-police people on the left for challenging her - 1/

@shipman96 not via logical argument, but fallacious ad hominem & strawman attacks. Trolling, basically. And I've been noticing her own rhetorical tactics lately. She engages in a lot of disingenuous dissembling, which I find pretty creepy in a kind of foreshadowing sense as to where 2/

@shipman96 this is heading for her, politically. All her bullshit over tossed salad on home video RE VZ, too, along with her "I haven't decided yet about Assange." I mean, I'll say it too: fk you, AOC. 3/

@shipman96 On VZ she was literally spouting CIA and Big Oil talking points for overthrowing an elected gov for OIL. And she's supposed to be all about a GND? But she's plugging for an oil coup d'etat? And then she's so horrified by this storming at the Capitol bldg? 4/

@shipman96 What does she think she's promoting for Venezuelans? Someone posted today she follows Guaido's account & we've seen her post in response to anonymous VZ coupist accounts -obsequiously thanking them for their *erudite* political advice; i.e. the same way she fawns over Pelosi

NOW: Sen. Bob Ballinger is presenting his stand your ground bill in the Senate Judiciary Committee. This bill would end the duty to retreat. #arnews #arleg #arpx @KATVNews

Ballinger, present with an NRA representative, has introduced an amendment that cleans up the language he says. (The amendment passes)
Now he's presenting his bill w/ amendment to the committee. #arnews #arpx #arleg @KATVNews

Ballinger: In short, you're going to hear this is a license to kill - that isn't the way it is in California or Illinois or other jurisdictions. We have worked with AG's office, prosecutors, law enforcement... #arnews #arpx #arleg @KATVNews

NRA Rep: SB 24 does not encourage violence or give anyone a license to murder. This is a very narrow concept that simply protects victims of violent crime that choose to defend themselves before attempting to flee. #arnews #arpx #arleg @KATVNews

Sen. Stephanie Flowers: A convicted felon has the right to have a weapon at their dwelling and use it to defend themselves?
Ballinger: It's saying they don't have the duty to retreat, but you can still prosecute for felon in possession of a weapon #arpx #arnews @KATVNews

I tolerated Obama for 8 years & kept quiet.
Here's my issue with the “let us all be a UNITED States again” that we heard from the crime family syndicate of @JoeBiden. For the last 4+ years, you Dems have gone scorched earth; you salted the fields and now you want to grow crops.

The problem for you Democrats is that 72+ million of us have memories longer than a hamster.

We remember the women’s march (vagina hats and all) the day after inauguration.

We remember the 4 years of attacks and impeachments.

We remember “not our president” & the “Resistance"

We remember Maxie Walters telling followers to harass us in restaurants.

We remember the President's spokesperson being kicked out of a restaurant.

We remember hundreds of Trump supporters physically attacked.

We remember Trump supporters getting Doxed, and fired from jobs.

We remember riots, and looting.

We remember “a comedian” holding up the President’s severed head.

We remember a play in Central park paid for with public funding, showing the killing of President Trump.

We remember Robert de Niro yelling “F" Trump” at the Tony’s and getting a standing ovation.

We remember Nancy Pelosi tearing up the State of the Union Address.

We remember the total "in the tank" move to the left towards Socialism of the mainstream media and social media.

@IndLeftNews @BenSpielberg @jimmy_dore (1) The #ReplacePelosiJan3 & negotiate w/other Speaker candidates 2 THEN #ForceTheVote + get more changes campaign was drowned out by the FTV movement. Today, the FTV ppl on the ground in DC r condemning Squad votes 4 Pelosi. Way too little & way 2 late.

@BenSpielberg @jimmy_dore (2) But, a more important 1, is that the Squad felt free 2 decide how 2 vote on Pelosi w/o consulting the ppl's movement. These advocates of bottom-up democracy did not practice it all when it came 2 the most important decision they would make during the next 2 years.

@BenSpielberg @jimmy_dore (3) They're not the only ones of course. Bernie Sanders did the same thing when he dropped out of the pressidential race. His "Not me. Us!" movement suddenly turned into an "it's my decision alone", affair. That enraged me at the time. It still does. After extracting all that ...

@BenSpielberg @jimmy_dore (4) work & money, often from poor ppl, he didn't feel he had to consult w/anyone else but, at most, his inner circle about whether it was time to support Biden or not. Going beyond progressive "leaders" however, I think all our politicians in our "democracy" feel free 2 take ...

@BenSpielberg @jimmy_dore (5) support of all sorts from us w/out involving us in decisions they are taking that are critical to our lives. Very few of them talk bottom-up democracy, but even those who do, practice top-down democracy, in which they mobilize us for fundraising & 4 coming out to vote 4...

Weeks before the election, a bombshell story broke with the release of Hunter Biden's laptop. The contents contained two scandals; one salacious and disturbing, one a clear outline of foreign corruption involving his father. The stories were spiked and censored to protect Biden.

Women are the real election mobilizers, look at the percentage of those who vote during Nigerian elections, the data tells it all. Women do not only mobilize, they ensure these voters go out to cast their ballot. We’ve got more @staceyabrams in most Nigerian communities/villages.

Political elites place premium to “market women” votes, I recall how important the “iyaloja” position was/is in Lagos. It is the votes these women pull. When you need mobilizers. You can bank on women but importantly bank on women to also lead in your administration.

Elections show how men dominate politics in Nigeria. Although 47 percent of registered voters are women, according to the electoral commission @inecnigeria, their political representation is limited. That needs to change...

Since 1999, the story behind the elections in Nigeria can be told in numbers and women make up that number, we have continued to observe voter apathy at the ballots but women still show up strong when its time to vote 🗳. These women go underreported but they’ve become the force.

I have seen arguments (not data) suggesting women are “told who to vote for by their husbands” not sure if this is a beer parlor statistics but what I know is, these women are the movers and shakers of electoral processes in Nigeria - pay attention to women mobilizers.They showup

I know that most VCU students--really most college students in general--do not pay attention to their local politics.

Well, I'd like to enlighten them on something that is happening in RVA City Council ... something all VCU students should be aware of (THREAD)

1/ We're talking about Ordinance # 2020-117 ... Which would continue and expand an agreement between RPD and VCU that allows the school's police force to use RPD's records management system.

It was first introduced on May 11, 2020, by Mayor @LevarStoney

2/ It has since bounced around council for several months. The last motion was made on Jan 11, 2021, where it was tabled for an upcoming subcommittee meeting on Feb 8.

You can read the whole bill by clicking the link

3/ Now, some important context:

-VCU has the largest campus police force in VA
-VCUPD has assisted RPD and VSPD with crowd control at protests
-VCU is seeking leads on the $100,000 of windows broken at protests

These are all facts that have been verified publicly.

I'd like to also state that, while the information presented below may seem authoritative, a lot of this is a guessing game because the bill is written so vaguely. There's only so much a person can actually understand about this ordinance.

So, do your own research.
