1. 17 years ago Trent Lott (R-MS) said this about his state: "When Strom Thurmond ran for president [in 1948], we voted for him. We're proud of it. And if the rest of the country had followed our lead, we wouldn't have had all these problems over all these years, either.''
2. Within a few weeks he had lost his job as the Senate Majority Leader (thanks in great part to pressure from within his own GOP) and his once promising political career was basically ended. theguardian.com/world/2002/dec…
3. This episode gave a lot of people the false impression, I think, that the GOP was authentically coming to grips with its longtime complicity with racism. Trent Lott did a glaring racism, and he suffered the consequences. So we're good now, right? Well....

Brett Kavanaugh's opening statement makes him seem overtly political. Not a good look for a Judge hoping to be a Supreme Court Justice. #KavanaughHearings
HOLY SHIT!!! Did Brett Kavanaugh really just say this is a political hit by the Clintons?!! Really?! The GOP playbook is so predictable, and getting old, when in doubt blame the email lady. #KavanaughHearings
I cant even pay attention to the rest of Brett Kavanaugh's opening statement I am still dumbfounded that Kavanaugh really just said that this is a plot by the Clintons. How, why, what? How could HRC have orchestrated this? Its just utterly ridiculous. #KavanaughHearings

THREAD: In summer 2016, George Nader (representing Saudi Arabia & UAE) and an Israeli specialist in "social media manipulation" offered to help **THROW THE ELECTION** in a meeting w/Trump Jr arranged by Erik Prince‼️ 1/

nytimes.com/2018/05/19/us/…
At the Aug'16 #treason meet, Nader told Jr the crown princes of #SaudiArabia & #UAE were "eager to help his father win." The Israeli social media expert's (Joel Zamel) firm had already drawn up a multimillion $ proposal for a social media manipulation effort to help Trump.🤨 2/
Zamel's social media company #Wikistrat, which employed several Israeli former intelligence officers, specialized in "collecting information & shaping opinion through social media."🤨

Gee, that sounds familiar‼️🤬 3/

THREAD: #Qatar claims to have EVIDENCE of “illicit influence” by the UAE on Jared Kushner & other Trump associates, including details of SECRET MEETINGS, but decided not to give info to Mueller for fear of retaliation from Trump‼️ 1/

nbcnews.com/politics/natio…
Mueller already was probing attempts by the UAE to " buy political influence" by supporting Trump’s campaign.🤔

Then *after* #Qatar refused to bail out Kush’s 666 Fifth Ave properly, Trump sided w/the UAE & #SaudiArabia AGAINST Qatar.🤨 2/

#Corruption

George Nader — a Lebanese-American pal of Erik Prince, who’s been pushing pro-UAE interests — and #Republican DONOR Elliott Broidy, participated in the meetings.🤔

Nader FLIPPED and is cooperating w/Mueller‼️😎 3/
