1. Yes, as @danielsgoldman is talking about now on @MSNBC is playing a big part. Rep Senator reluctance to go after Trump is MUCH MORE now than mere political reluctance. And frankly Trump made these threats openly known. Yet, he had his "lists" for primaries. But there is much

2. more going on here, that I'll touch on in the article which will also include the survey results ( there is STILL TIME to get involved w the survey. It is on extremism in the GOP- focused on MTW, GA-14 but also GOP extremism broadly. Ultimately, I waited to field it until

3. after the impeachment trial bc the survey wasn't really meant to test that (trust me, the big org will cover it!) and bc I was afraid it would impact what we are trying to measure. So now its time to get this puppy in the field. UNLESS, y'all care to asses some of this stuff

4. Impeachment may or may not impact attitudes on MTG and tribalism. Lord knows it had so many elements of extremism that times in. In order to add anything I'd gave to raise more money. 10K is not enough- survey research, the kids you see in wapo and nyt and such are like 30K

❗️[POTUS] UPDATE 🏰👑💥👀🌎🦅🌫

Hold the line for 30 days.

Several new entries below.

Donald Trump appears to be continuing to use military aircraft suggesting he is still de facto Commander in Chief.

Clarity emerges in two weeks.

Patriots are urged to stay off the streets and away from State Capitols — False Flag events intended to discredit patriots are known to be planned. NON-VIOLENCE is VITAL. Obey the law, allow events to play out.

Monkey Werx BitChute pending, we refuse to post YouTubes.

Monkey Werx tracks where he thinks Trump is and why he thinks it. Trump still keeping military travel, wouldn’t if he weren’t still president.

4:37 “temporary air restriction is lifted” meaning “Trump is on this aircraft. From FLA up to DC, parks for an hour, back to Charleston. Time on ground, 56 min, 6 seconds = 5+6+6 = 17.

At 8:30 PM last night, “Pentagon requested another 26,000 troops to come into DC.” Some have left, number not defined. Sean: I don’t think it’s large because yesterday Monkey Werx said he wasn’t seeing ships that would take NG back to their home state.

Trump tweets about his health remind me of a story my late father-in-law Peter Worthington told about covering the Six Day War in 1967 ... 1/x

Pete was in Cairo on the day the war started. He was awoken early by air raid sirens. He turned on Radio Cairo to listen for news. Time passed until an announcer delivered a bulletin. "The Zionists attacked at dawn. We shot down six of their planes and suffered no losses." 2/x

Pete shaved and prepared to go visit the air ministry for himself. The announcer returned to the air. "Update: we shot down TWELVE Zionist planes and suffered no losses ourselves."

He understood the Egyptians had suffered a bad defeat. 3/x

He finished dressing, knotted his tie, and the announcer was back.

"Update again. We shot down FIFTY Zionist planes and suffered no losses ourselves."

That's when he realized that the entire Egyptian air force had been wiped out.

(NB I may have the figures wrong in the anecdote, I'm telling the story from memory, but you get the idea.)

The Pardon Clause prohibits using the pardon power to obstruct impeachments. Trump repeatedly opined—rightly—that Mueller's probe could lead to a referral for possible impeachment (which it did). The pardons he just gave are the ones he dangled to obstruct Mueller. See the issue?

Those who say the pardon power is unreviewable aren't just wrong, they *know* they're wrong. The Pardon Clause makes explicit that Congress has standing and a cause of action if the power is used to obstruct an impeachment. So the power is definitionally reviewable by the courts.

Moreover, if the grant of a pardon is itself a high crime or misdemeanor, it creates an irresolvable conflict between the Impeachment Clause and the Pardon Clause that only a federal court can resolve—making a pardon reviewable in that scenario too. That's the situation we're in.

Moreover, if a pardon constituting an abuse of power is issued so late in a presidential term it can't be remedied via the normal means—impeachment—it becomes impermissibly non-justiciable, and thus immediately reviewable by a court. That also happens to be the current situation.

Moreover, if a pardon constitutes the actus reus in an ongoing crime, the pardon itself can't pardon the ongoing crime—and therefore becomes legally inert and inoperative, as the pardoned party can still be prosecuted. That also happens to be the situation we're in right now.

Trump’s doctor: “This morning, the President is doing very well.”

Conley: “the team and I are extremely pleased with how the President is doing.” Says that Trump’s symptoms are now improving.

Second doctor says that President’s kidney function, heart function are both normal. Says that he’s not on oxygen and in “exceptionally good spirits.” Says that Trump said “it feels I could walk out of this today.” Says he’s walking around the medical unit.

Doctor is repeatedly asked about whether Trump is on oxygen. Says he’s not on oxygen “now” or “today”. Sidesteps question about whether he’s received it up to now.

Doctor says “since Friday morning” Trump hasn’t had a fever

For those "worshiping" Trump, AND for those who want to jump on the "TRUMP INCITED THE SEDITIONS!!" bandwagon:

It's not about Trump. It never was. It is, always has been, and always WILL be about policy.

The most genius trick democrats have pulled is making you think they hate Trump. That they think his presence or absence in the Oval Office is what they're concerned with.

Every policy that the conservatives I follow say they want, Trump advanced. Mostly. But we've seen the hardest push for conservative policy since Regan, and the economy showed it.

To say that, because some dumbasses latched on to the "Trump train" whose values weren't in line with ours, that we should stop pushing for our values is simply brainless.

"We have to examine why racists loved Trump so much!!"

It kills me to see smart conservatives parrot this bullshit leftist talking point.

Remember Trump has national emergency powers that includes the ability to send a national security alert to the phone of every American.

Also all broadcast networks, radio stations, most digital devices.

Thread: Conservative Policy and the Trump Presidency

On the last full day of the Trump administration, I think it's useful to examine why he accomplished so little legislatively. TLDR version: American conservatism has almost no policy program.

The most important thing to know about conservative politicking is that people do not vote FOR Republicans, they vote AGAINST Democrats.

The GOP is dominated by a minority of far-right activists and wealthy donors who have views that their own voters don't support.

American conservatism is premised on the twin ideas that the New Deal & Great Society were immoral and that God himself created America and that we should honor this creation by establishing full Christian supremacism in which LGBT people, atheists, and Muslims have fewer rights.

Because God created America, this means that conservatives believe in essentially no domestic policy of any kind. If it wasn't literally in the Constitution, then the feds shouldn't be doing it is their opinion.

This is not, however, how things used to be in the GOP.

For much of its history, American conservatism was a sort of intellectual parasite on the Republican party which was run by a mix of moderates and liberals. They actually had domestic policies. Dwight Eisenhower and Richard Nixon had many policies that actually helped America.

Think about it logically.
Trump decides randomly one day to run for president.
Then Trump wins.
Then this mysterious "Q" poster, claiming to be military intelligence, comes out of no where and starts leading people down a rabbit hole suggesting the world is essentially run by a

Some thoughts from the update on the President’s condition:

They said illness for 72 hours? Seems to be a different timeline than we heard.

They also said he got antibodies 48 hours ago. That’s Thursday morning.

Also they said not on oxygen NOW. Repeatedly. Which suggests he had been on at some point.

Won’t talk about date of his last negative test. This is a BIG question.

THIS: It's a little late, but here is the final White House Coronavirus Task Force report from the Trump administration. It features some lessons learned from the federal officials on the panel, many that speak directly to the situation in

- Georgia is back to 6th in the country for new cases in the week leading up to 1.17 (not long ago we were doing better than nearly every other state)
- 5th in the country for test positivity
- 97 percent of all counties in the state in the "red zone"

It's the recommendations that are the most interesting (we know things are bad here).

"Mask mandates work," it reads. "Any indoor space where masks cannot be worn ... must be substantially curtailed or closed."

This rec has been here before, but not so bluntly.

"This virus can be mitigated and community spread can be curtailed, but action needs to be taken before an increase in hospitalizations is seen," it continues. " it needs to be more comprehensive and longer than the summer mitigation actions."

4/n

Then, finally: "Georgia is still experiencing widespread community spread and needs to accelerate mitigation to prevent ongoing fatalities."

This final one is a message that we've seen before, too, though again, not in so direct terms.

5/n

1/ The past 48 hours may come to be known as The Great Cancellation of 2021, as Silicon Valley companies remove or limit Trump’s access to a host of services following the violent insurrection against democracy he incited on Capitol Hill.

2/ Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Snapchat, Reddit Twitch, Apple, Discord, and even Shopify are among the platforms banning or restricting access to the President's accounts.

3/ Reddit banned the subreddit forum r/DonaldTrump, as @sarafischer reported, “one of the company’s largest political communities dedicated to support for President Trump.” Twitch also disabled Trump’s channel following the insurrection.

4/ Snapchat locked the President’s account indefinitely.
Apple and Google told Parler, the social media network favored by far right extremists and other supporters of the President, that it must start moderating its content.

5/ Discord banned TheDonald server “due to its overt connection to an online forum used to incite violence, plan an armed insurrection in the United States, and spread harmful misinformation related to 2020 U.S. election fraud."
