1/ THREAD: Body Language Analysis No. 4675: John Thune's reaction to Mitch McConnell's statement re Fox News' characterization of events of January 6th 2021 #BodyLanguage #BodyLanguageExpert #JohnThune #MitchMcConnell #FoxNews #EmotionalIntelligence
2/ Yesterday, Senator Mitch McConnell said, "Clearly, the Chief of the Capitol Police, in my view, correctly describes what most of us witnessed, firsthand, on January 6th..."
3/ Senator McConnell continued, "...It was a mistake, in my view, for Fox News to depict this in a way that's completely at variance with what our chief law enforcement official here at the Capitol thinks."
XBB variants evade antibodies and are more likely to persist in organs

XBB.1.5 is over 89% of cases in the U.S.
XBB.1.5 has spawned over 20 sub-variants, many of which have new advantages.
Mutations are occurring more often in the body of the virus.
It's likely to find a combo to further suppress the T-cell response soon.

It is horrible that more immunocompromised & elderly are getting infected & dying with protections lifted.
The more immunocompromised infected, the more rapid the pace of evolution.
The direction it's headed isn't likely to be less dangerous.
More will suffer from #LongCovid

1/ This fight over @GOPLeader isn't really about McCarthy (though for some of the 20 it is). What this is about is the pending #debt ceiling fight likely in February. Here's what's going on (a thread)...
@GOPLeader 2/ 'Twas the night before Xmas (not exactly but close enough) & all thru the night, lobbyists were skulking the decorated hall of Congress, looking for handouts for their special interests. Everyone on Capitol Hill wanted to go home for the holidays so, w/o much debate,
@GOPLeader 3/ A group of elected officials pushed through a $1.7 Trillion spending bill w/o debate or even so much of a "Dear Colleague" letter. It was imperious. What upset some on the Hill the most was that the spending bill was chock full of goodies for Left-wing special interests.

So some interesting things have surfaced in the last few weeks that I want to share. Be patient with me, I’m slow & get interrupted a lot. But, I think it’s worth it to share this information before the mid-term elections.

This article from 04/06/2022 has been weighing on my mind…it’s regarding the #RockbridgeNetwork, defined as a coalition.
What is a “political coalition” in the US?
Not much. It’s basically a verbal, non-regulated agreement to finance an agreed upon political agenda.

While #RockbridgeNetwork is being considered a “new GOP coalition”, it isn’t, think #CambridgeAnalytica. Plus, it is not the only “new GOP coalition” popping up before mid-term elections. #ChestnutStreetCouncil has been started by Matt Schlapp, think #KochNetwork…
Mitch McConnell (trend) literally referred to Black ppl as "African AMERICANS."
This is a nothing-burger.
But the left must distract from their loser of an argument in "voting rights are at stake." They have no better argument. Their failing policies are doing all the talking.

Side note: The phrase "African American" in reference to Black Americans is foolish.
Black American makes far more sense as a very general rule, especially because some people from Africa are White, etc.
Now, anyone wanna defend Dem policy over the past year?

Left: "Republicans are banning Black ppl from voting! Jim Crow 2.0! Jim Eagle!"
Mitch McConnell: "African Americans" are voting at the same rates as "Americans."
Left: He's saying African Americans aren't Americans!
Like...wut?
Please people...use your brain cells.

The question everyone, especially law enforcement, needs to ask is: how did #Cult45 members get into the Capital building?? Someone on the inside is complicit in this fascist display. #WashingtonDC #DCProtests
#MitchMcConnell fully enabled & helped create this fascist Frankenstein monster. His empty words now mean nothing.

Okay, so I've FINALLY figured out what @JoeBiden said. However, I don't think what Joe Biden said is the real issue because I've said the SAME thing several times myself.
But my question is this. WHERE is all this energy when it comes to @SenatorTimScott , @DiamondandSilk, @PARISDENNARD, @RealCandaceO, @GayleKing, #ClarenceThomas, @tavissmiley, @CornelWest, and that greasy ass pastor what's-his-name that looks like a pimp?
There's a whole LOT of people that I wish y'all would hate on instead of Joe damn Biden! But let's not let Joe off the hook. Joe's problem is not what Joe said; but rather, what Joe DIDN'T say.

Here's the quote 👇
Soon after, @RonaldKlain, the White House Ebola response coordinator from October 2014 to February 2015, tweeted out a link to a document titled “Playbook for Early Response to High-Consequence Emerging Infectious Disease Threats and Biological Incidents.”
In a May 14 interview on Fox News, @senatemajldr said “I was wrong. They did leave behind a plan. I clearly made a mistake in that regard.”
In March 2016, @BarackObama nominated Merrick Garland to a position as Associate Justice of the US Supreme Court. At the time @senatemajldr refused to hold hearings saying that the American people would deserve to be heard In the Presidential election that was 9 months away.1/6
