1. I’m starting to think that our constitution is failing. When one person can block all proposed legislation - gun safety, background checks, election security, etc.- & can shield a criminal president from accountability for his crimes, it’s time for a constitutional convention.
2. Yet another important reason to get out & vote in 2020 - for both federal AND state candidates. Two thirds of the state legislatures can call for a constitutional convention (as well as two-thirds of Congress). We can fix the specific Trump and McConnell problems by ...
3. Voting them out. But Trump & McConnell’s corrupt control of the reins of gov’t have exposed structural problems that future criminals/bad actors can take advantage of. The need for structural change may be the only good thing to come out of the corrupt Trump/McConnell era.

1. Many have asked how we can be sure Epstein is really dead and not whisked away to another country with another deceased person substituting for him. Generally, this is the stuff of Hollywood scripts. Of course with this administration . . .
2. we’ve learned to question everything (think “no obstruction, no collusion, total exoneration”). When a body arrives at a medical examiner’s office they will “roll the prints.” Once they have the decedent’s fingerprints they will submit them to the appropriate authorities . . .
3. for comparison to the “known prints” of the person they believe the deceased to be. Authorities can also run prints through the AFIS database (Automated Fingerprint Identification System) to screen them for possible matches. This is the process employed when . . .

1. Yes, depending on the cause of death. In our practice in DC, if we made an arrest quickly (w/in days) and the cause & manner of death is easily ascertainably (i.e, multiple gunshot wounds to the back militating against suicide or accidental death) . . .
2. the medical examiner would provide a cause and manner ruling to us orally so that we could include that information in the affidavit in support of our application for an arrest warrant. Tissue samples, blood and vitreous fluid would still be sent out for further testing, but
3. the ME could & often did make a cause and manner ruling pending further test results. Footnote: ME rulings are always subject to change pending receipt of additional information. Often a medical examiner will rule the manner of death “undetermined” until more info is received.

1. Some have asked, if the autopsy is complete, why does the medical examiner need additional information before ruling on the cause & manner of death? The medical findings as as a result of an autopsy telling us something but not everything. For example, if a victim dies . . .
2. as a result of a gunshot wound, a medical examiner can rule the “cause of death” gunshot wound, but will need more information before ruling on the “manner of death.” A fatal gunshot wound could be determined to be a homicide, a suicide or an accidental death . . .
3. depending on what is learned during the investigation. It’s not terribly unusual for someone to commit a homicide and then orchestrate the scene to try to make it look like a suicide. Similarly, someone can try to make a homicide by strangulation or suffocation look like a ...

The #bullshit that @thedemocrats are #dropping like #deuces is truly preposterous.

Last week, following the lamentable hearing that established the apparent mental decline of Robert #Mueller, @chuckschumer tried to set a trap for @senatemajldr Mitch McConnell.
The normal practice of the Senate as to consideration of proposed legislation is for the proposed bill to be read aloud (or reading waived) and then for the bill to be sent for consideration by one or more Senate committees that have jurisdiction over the subject of the bill.
One of the bills that @thedemocrats and the #lapdancemedia have described as having been blocked by McConnell addressed certain requirements for the use and retention of paper ballots and voting records and providing funding for the #ElectionSecurityCommission to make grants.

Election security “expert” @mattblaze blocked me after advising that I had “bored” him w/ my requests that he acknowledge the “Permission to Cheat” design defect. I’m glad the Thread continued w/ others expressing similar concerns that he apparently found less boring. 1/
2/ Here’s Professor Appel’s article about Permission to Cheat. freedom-to-tinker.com/2018/09/14/ser…
4/ Notice how Professor Appel graciously linked to my earlier article identifying this design defect? Some cybersecurity experts are like Appel.

Rubio has an A+ rating, & has taken $3.3 million from the NRA. He is just one of many R’s (Cruz) who are handmaidens to the gun lobby. The safety of the public is not as important as their #NRABloodMoney.

Let’s dispel gun myths the NRA constantly parrots. tampabay.com/florida-politi…
“Guns don’t kill people, people kill people.”
This is probably the most common argument heard from gun advocates. It’s true that guns can’t kill by themselves & DO indeed need someone to pull the trigger... Guns don’t kill people, but allow someone who WOULD kill much easier, faster, more lethal means for killing. #GunReform

Many Iranians criticised one of BBC Farsi’s journalists for her comments on Iran-Hezbullah relations. Some have even threatened her that she won’t be allowed to go back to Iran after the fall of the regime. Many Iranians believe some of @bbcpersian journalists support the regime.
In the past few days some anti-BBC slogans have been chanted by the protesters in Iran. In a comment one of BBCFarsi journalist claims that ‘Trump wants to turn Iran into another Syria by starting a civil war etc’. The same propaganda which is pumped out by Iranian state media.
Some of @BBCPersian journalists block anyone who criticises them. One of its journalists in particular has publicly supported A.Khamenei on his social media pages. I have written to a few MPs and the BBC about. Will see if BBC is interested in opening an investigation.
