You’d think that if Pence could overturn the election like Trump claimed then Biden surely would’ve taken up that chance

 Also this is such a small thing but one thing I noticed in that Trump campaign ad the defense just ran, there were no citations, unlike every clip that the impeachment managers showed
Michael Van Der Veen is giving us the full Fox News Primetime Defense.
PROCESS ARGUMENT.

DRINK.
Lol my guy this is the chance to rebut the evidence that they’ve presented against Trump.
Schoen is saying that “withholding” the new security camera footage was a violation of Trump’s due process rights

BUT the rules say that all the evidence admitted into the record after you’re done has to be seen by both sides beforehand

He’s seen it now. That counts.
Oh. Okay so Schoen is going to argue, as I predicted, that the use of media reports by the prosecution as a lack of evidence

Way to insist that the prosecution call upon witnesses to testify!!

https://t.co/ZMksgGoA0d
Like...is this a bluff? Is Schoen baiting the managers into calling witnesses?

Because he’s saying that the media footage was manipulated and “false representations of tweets”!
Oh my god. We’re really gonna do a “ZOOM ENHANCE!!” right now??

And yes it is a recreation of a tweet because the president got his account nuked!!
IF THE TWEET HAS A TYPO, FROM YOUR MIND YOU MUST WIPE-O
Wait. Wait. Wait. So...your defense. Is to show the parts of Trump’s speech where he issues a veiled threat to members of Congress while directing people to go to the Capitol to fight.
I’m. Screaming.
“The president insisted that there are two sides of the story about white supremacists marching” is a hell of a defense
“The House managers showed video that was cut off the threats against members of Congress who refused to illegally overturn the election for me” is a hell of a defense

“Every example of the use of the word ‘fight’ is morally the same” is a hell of a defense
“Elizabeth Warren ran an extremely energetic campaign” is a hell of a defense
“The DNC should honestly pay us for this campaign ad” is a hell of a defense
“We are going to spend literally ten minutes showing Democrats saying the word ‘fight’ but somehow not fomenting angry mobs which only happens when our client says it” is a hell of a defense
“We are going to play the word ‘fight’ Clockwork Orange-style until it no longer sounds like a real word” is a hell of a defense
“People angry over centuries of racial abuse are the exact same as channeling people to attack Congress to overturn the election” is a hell of a defense
“What about the time that Joe Biden and every member of the Senate agreed that there was no way to overturn electoral votes in 2017” is a hell of a defense
“Democrats correctly insisted that electronic voting machines should have paper trails” is a hell of a defense

“Can you believe that the Democrats would say that Congress’s ability to speak freely on the floor doesn’t apply to Trump speaking at a rally” is a hell of a defense
“We have to ignore that only one side here actually gave a speech that led to an attack on Congress” is a hell of a defense
“We are going to show you another super cut of speeches that did not result in an attack on Congress” is a hell of a defense
“An impeachment trial is actually a law against free speech” is a hell of a defense
“The Constitution has limits on Congress’s impeachment powers that aren’t in the text” is a hell of a defense
“Please ignore the part where he says that no one who violates the constitution and the laws should be secure” is a hell of a defense
“I’m going to conveniently forget that members of Congress aren’t subject to impeachment and have their own protection for speech on the floor of Congress” is a hell of a defense
“Congressional debates are the exact same as Trump lying about the election being stolen” is a hell of a defense
“The House managers didn’t cite Supreme Court cases irrelevant to their argument in their brief” is a hell of a defense
“Trump actually said the word ‘fight’ a lot of times that Democrats didn’t show that involve him encouraging his crowd to overturn the election on Jan. 6 because it was fraudulent” is a hell of a defense

“The House managers accurately showed how horrific the attack on the Capitol after Trump rallied his supportes and whipped them into a frenzy was” is a hell of a defense
“Please watch this same Trump campaign ad again, you’ll love it just as much this time” is a hell of a defense
“Trump can’t have incited the mob if they were too dumb to understand his speech on Jan. 6 was all about peace and primary elections” is a hell of a defense
“The violence on Jan. 6 was preplanned during the months that the former president, my client, was falsely insisting that the election was stolen and encouraging his supporters to protect him” is a hell of an arguemnt
“It’s impossible my client’s words were misunderstood when after he spoke the crowd then attacked Congress” is a hell of an argument
“My client’s stream of conscious bouncing back and forth between topics means you can’t discern any real meaning in his words” is a hell of a defense
“My client was only encouraging his supporters to throw you out of office if you didn’t overturn the election, so that the next Congress can do just that” is a hell of a defense.
“Trump told people to go home four hours after the Capitol was attacked and only told people to support police after the building was seiged because they’re on our side and not to leave the building” is a hell of a defense
“some of the president’s supporters skipped his speech and were already gathering at the capitol before it began because they knew attacking it was the goal ahead of time” is a hell of a defense
“the preplanned assault on the capitol had nothing to do with the fact that they were in DC because trump invited them and the fact that they were inspired by his rhetoric about the election being stolen” is a hell of a defense
“my client’s threatening phone call to the Georgia Secretary of State trying to get him to overturn the results of the election in the state can’t have been part of his plan to overthrow the election because he didn’t know it was being recorded” is a hell of a defense
“my client’s lies about the election being stolen were totally based in fact, despite no court agreeing with him” is a hell of an argument
“my client’s words sound better when i read them than when playing the tape that was released publicly” is a hell of a defense
“my client’s inane rambling about voter fraud sounds better when it comes from my mouth” is a hell of a defense
“Democrats saying that the goal is to keep Trump from running again shows that they’re trying to keep Trump from running again” is a hell of a defense

What's the "value" offered by international relations scholarship?

What does it mean to think about world events "like an international relations scholar"?

Trump's order to withdrawal 🇺🇸 troops from 🇸🇴 offers a useful

This event could be viewed from a variety of angles, from the "micro-level" on up.

International Relations scholars/analysts can and do use each of the following angles, though not all are strictly speaking taking an "International Relations angle".

Let's explore the angles.

The "country-expert" angle entails discussing the event by laying out the situation within Somalia, providing details on key figures involved and perhaps how the conflict has disrupted Somalia's internal governance and

The "Military/Security analyst" angle involves outlining the details of what US troops presently do in Somalia and how they carry out their mission (including equipment, mission, and tactics).

See this @ChathamHouse report by

The "Area Studies/Regional Expert" angle involves discussing the decision as an event that will impact the Horn of Africa or East Africa more

Enough! Reporters doing it again. Both-sidesing. U enable Trump's propaganda by doing this

Reporter's both-sides question:

"What was your role in what happened at the Capitol?

Proper question:

"Are you going to take responsibility for your role in inciting insurrection?"


The press enabled the storming of the Capitol because they never held GOP accountable for pushing #TheBigLie that election was stolen

I have been yelling about this for months. Starting here where @TerryMoran got it right

But after press returned to form


Not long after Nov 4th press started both-sidesing again. Question Republicans were asked over & over was:

"Do u think Biden won?"

This enabled the coup

The proper question at minimum:

"Why are u enabling this charade? Why are u spreading


After repeatedly yelling that press wasn't demanding answers of GOP for spreading #TheBigLie I hoped this political violence on Dec 10th would finally get press to demand answers. But no. They continued to both-sides


I noted how impotent the American press was acting by treating #TheBigLie as credible. The press is supposed to hold people in power accountable, but beside @TerryMoran on election night, they by and large

Rep. Raskin invited Colorado Congresswoman @RepDianaDeGette to talk about how the mob believed they were following President Trump's orders.

2/


DeGette begins with her own experience under attack. Here's what she saw when she left the chambers. She looked at the mob and thought "Who sent them here?"

Her response. Donald Trump sent them there.

"The president told the to be there, so they thought there would be no punishment."

She disputes that the intruders acted for their own reason. Wrong, they said they came there because the president instructed them to do so.

4/

The insurrectionists came at his invitation. And when there the crowd followed his words that he spoke at the rally and chanted them as they breached the building.

Trump led the crowd in a "Stop the Steal" chant. @RepDianaDeGette showed a video from the crowd

Thirumalai Murugan Temple is located in Tenkasi district of Tamil Nadu. Muruga is worshipped as Thirumalai kumarasamy. Temple is situated near Kerala border and known to be where Shri Murugan gave darshan to Rishi Agasthiar


Devi is worshipped in the temple as Thirumalai Kaali amman

Sthala Puranam says that, there was a priest named Poovanbhattar of Thirumalai Kaali amman. Murugar appeared in a dream of the bhattar and said to find a Vigraham, lying in particular place which is of Thirumalaikumaran


Bhattar conveyed the news to the Pandalam Raja and they went to find out the vigraham. Surprisingly ants showed the way to find the Vigraham. Thus Murugan vigraham was found and Prathista was done here. There is a lake with pure water on the top of the hill


which is said to be created by Agasthiyar. It is believed that kannaki of
Chilapathikaram visited here before going to Kerala. Sapthamathrukkal also worshipped Murugan here. Kanthashashti Thiruvizha is very famous here.

SRI LALITHAMBIGAI, THIRUMEYACHUR (TN)
#bharatmandir #navratri2021

Kshetram where Shiva is worshipped as Meghanatha and his consort is Lalithambigai seen in Abhay mudra.
Once, a demon Pandasura was harassing the Devas who went to Devi Parashakti for protection. 
@GunduHuDuGa


Devi rose from a Yaga Gunda, mounted on the Sri Chakra Rath with the name Lalithambika, waged a war against Pandasura and destroyed him.  When her fury did not subside, Shiva asked her to go to Earth, assume the name Manonmani, perform penance and shed her fury.


Shiva blessed Devi to be Shanta nayagi. There is a sculpture here depicting Shiva pacifying Devi. If you observe closely, you can see that from your left hand side there will be a smile on Her face and if you see from your right hand side you can see anger in Her face.


Hayagriva taught the greatness of Lalitha Sahasranama to Rishi Agasthya. Pleased with his devotion, Ma Lalithambikai appeared before Agastya. He is believed to have then sung Lalita Navaratnamala in praise of Devi. He has also composed a hymn named Rahasyanamasahasram.

மருவா நெறியளிக்கும் வாதவூர் எங்கோன்

பொருள்:
1.எப்போது ஆரம்பித்தது என அறியப்படமுடியாத தொலை காலமாக (தொல்லை)

2. இருந்து வரும் (இரும்)


3.பிறவிப் பயணத்திலே ஆழ்த்துகின்ற (பிறவி சூழும்)

6.அதன் விளைவால் சுகதுக்கமெனும் துயரங்கள் விலக (அல்லல் அறுத்து),

முதல்வரி: பிறவி என்பது முன்வினை விதையால் முளைப்பதோர் பெருமரம். அந்த ‘முன்வினை’ எங்கு ஆரம்பித்தது எனச் சொல்ல இயலாது. ஆனால் ‘அறியாமை’ ஒன்றே ஆசைக்கும்,, அச்சத்துக்கும் காரணம் என்பதால், அவையே வினைகளை விளைவிப்பன என்பதால், தொடர்ந்து வரும் பிறவிகளுக்கு, ‘அறியாமையே’ காரணம்

அறியாமைக்கு ஆரம்பம் கிடையாது. நமக்கு ஒரு பொருளைப் பற்றிய அறிவு எப்போதிருந்து இல்லை? அதைச் சொல்ல முடியாது. அதனாலேதான் முதலடியில், ஆரம்பமில்லாத அஞ்ஞானத்தை பிறவிகளுக்குக் காரணமாகச் சொல்லியது. ஆனால் அறியாமை, அறிவின் எழுச்சியால், அப்போதே முடிந்து விடும்.
