Is there a power shift in play?

Murdoch meets in the late hours with McConnell. Fox News goes off Twitter (allegedly because of doxing of Tucker, but that seems trivial.)

Are the right wing media pulling Trump support? Let’s look at the signs. 1/
Fox News with some less than glowing headlines:
And Fox News telling Trump not to fire Mueller:
Now what about Twitter accounts? @RealJamesWoods is organizing support for victims of the Camp fire, with Russians bots backing him. @DRUDGE_REPORT is tweeting :
And the Russian bots/trolls? Currently, their trending hashtags have nothing to do with Trump. A first? Screen shots from Hamilton 68 dashboard.securingdemocracy.org
And of course the WSJ (owned by Murdoch) publishes this Trump report. Of note the WSJ has excellent reporting. Their editorial board is primarily pushing propaganda since Murdoch stepped in.

I appreciate this is speculation, but certainly it is something you can keep an eye on. ☺️
If Trump has support withdrawn by Fox pundits, he will be enraged. Currently their media ‘nurture’ him. We could see Trump psychologically traumatized and lashing out in a dramatically escalated fashion.
Fox News Judge Napolitano suggests Trump’s appointment of Whitaker is questionable, based on post Watergate statutes (2 days ago)

Analysis: Recently, The NYT published a story detailing Trump’s plans if he is re-elected: “Trump and Allies Forge Plans to Increase Presidential Power in 2025.” The plans include a sinister expansion of presidential powers with a focus on tearing down independent agencies 1/x
such as the FTC, the FCC as well as “scour the intelligence agencies, the State Department and the defense bureaucracies to remove officials he has vilified”

“What we’re trying to do is identify the pockets of independence and seize them” 2/x
These independent agencies, that Trump (and Charles Koch and Bob Mercer etc.) want to destroy are the agencies fundamental to upholding democracy.

Also noted in the NYT’s article is “Project 2025,” constructed by the Heritage Foundation (Charles Koch, Robert Mercer.) 3/x

Where are we on knowledge about COVID (and why you should get vaccinated and mask in appropriate situations.) 😊

1/x
The virulence (deadliness)of Delta is much higher compared to other Covid variants.

‘Increases with Delta variant were more pronounced: 120% (93-153%) for hospitalization; 287% (198-399%) for ICU admission; and 137% (50-230%) for death’

Masks work and unmasking in indoor spaces is only safe once there is no longer *uncontrolled* spread in the community. This thread is a heroic review of some of the research on masks:

‘Trump's defense secretary (Miller) confirms he didn't approve plan to deploy National Guard until after Pence called him — over 3 hours after the Capitol riot began’

businessinsider.com/chris-miller-a…
Two miles away waited 40 quick response National Guard members, who could not be deployed without Miller and McCarthy’s approval.

The commander of the D.C. Nat. Guard, Walker, said that had he not been recently restricted, he could have deployed sooner washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
Miller today said 1.5 hours of delay was caused by Gen. Walker creating a "concept of operations" plan to send troops to clear the building.

Walker (Jan 26) in regards to time to deploy quick response troops: “With all deliberate speed — I mean, they’re right down the street.”

‘phone call with House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy while the Capitol was under attack, then-President Donald Trump said the rioters cared more about the election results than McCarthy did’
‘McCarthy insisted that the rioters were Trump's supporters and begged Trump to call them off’

‘A furious McCarthy told the President the rioters were breaking into his office through the windows, and asked Trump, "Who the f--k do you think you are talking to?"’
‘The Republican members of Congress said the exchange showed Trump had no intention of calling off the rioters’

‘It's unclear to what extent these new details were known by the House Democratic impeachment managers or whether the team considered calling McCarthy as a witness’

I am reading the letter by Acting Sec Defense Miller Jan 4 that essentially broke the normal response chain to deploy the Nat. Guard on Jan 6. It is also astonishingly specific, including not using Intel assets.
Miller was installed after Trump lost the election, which was considered somewhat unusual.

Now the story gets stranger. Miller reports he met with Trump Jan 5, the night before the riot.

vanityfair.com/news/2021/01/e…
Miller reports Trump telling him that he would need 10,000 Nat Guard troops on Jan 6th. (So Trump knew the riot would be deadly)

And Miller responds: ‘Maybe. But you know, someone’s going to have to ask for it’

Which sounds like a direct reference to Miller’s Jan 4 memorandum

Let’s piece together what happened to Ambassador Yovanovitch. She testified that Guilliani and a ‘corrupt foreign prosecutor general’ had plans to ‘do things to her.’ She was told this by Ukraine officials.
The corrupt Ukraine official was Lutsenko.

nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
So this discussion between Lutsenko and Parvas should be looked at through the lens of Ambassador Yovanovitch’s fear that they were going to ‘do something to me’
