#GiveUsAVote! The American people deserve to have real representation. In a recent poll 97% favor background checks.

H.R.8 - Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2019

It’s time #MoscowMitch acted for the good of the people rather than for the NRA and Putin.
#GunConrolNow
How effective are expanded gun background checks?

Academic research offers that background checks have a potential to reduce crime, but in practice, results are mixed.

It is a first step. Do nothing? Close the private sale loophole next.

Here is a fact check and notation of several polls and results on America’s approval of universal background checks for firearms purchases.

What Explains U.S. Mass Shootings? International Comparisons Suggest an Answer

It’s not mental illness.

I’d note two, unique to U.S.:
1) Gun proliferation
2) #NRA

@senatemajldr aka #MoscowMitch, it’s time to #GiveUsAVote on #HR8!

Kicking Trump out is the important thing. Fights over how to do it shouldn’t get in the way. - WaPo

He is not a political genius — but skilled at taking advantage of opponents’ weaknesses, sowing division amongst — setting Americans against each other. washingtonpost.com/opinions/kicki…
This is extremely important. The OpEd article about Trump’s, and Russia or others interfering and how it works. It’s not likely widespread voter machine hacking. It’s something WE can control. The ‘social engineering’ is the danger. We can’t be gullible or reactionary. United!
A scenario for analogy.

Three friends. Two want to go to Disney. They don’t know the third can’t go but actually wants the others to stay home with them.

As they plan for the trip #3 separately injects ideas for stops on the way.

#1 and #2 now can’t agree and call it off.

We can split hairs all day about the granular meaning of terms like “asset,” “collusion,” and “treason.” For me, it amounts to this: Are you working for the American people, or are you working for Putin?

The traitors are easy to spot.

[THREAD]
1/ Between the Mueller Report, the CI investigation, his chumminess with his handlers (pictured), and his lickspittle behavior around Putin, the Russian mob money launderer-in-chief is pretty clearly on Team Russia.
2/ Mueller himself said the Report does not exonerate Trump. Remember that the many instances of Trump's obstruction of justice occurred TO CONCEAL HIS DEALINGS WITH RUSSIA.

The redacted sections make this even more clear:

A recent #poll provides a quick way for us to be blocked when we engage in this argument.

It's great news that Michael Cohen will give public testimony to Congress next Wed. What interests me @ this, is that the story given by his legal team for the original postponement has changed again. Somethings up with this..

2-"Michael Cohen, President Trump’s former personal attorney, will testify before the House Oversight Committee next week, the panel announced Wednesday night. Cohen will testify at 10 a.m. on Feb. 27, the committee’s chairman, Rep. Elijah E. Cummings (D-Md.), said in a statement

@WhiteHouse for the first time in #american history a spker of house has revoked an invitation to a duly elected #POTUS to speak before the nation. These traditions are what "Makes America Great" #Pelosi is very extreme and is denying our #SOTU speech. #WWG1WGA #MAGA #sadness
We don't have a 25th amendment to apply to @SpeakerPelosi but we do have to begin to ask is she "mentally competent" She has grabbed power and control of our budget, boarder security and #SOTUS speech. This is "fascistic" In nature and destroying our country.
Here is a list of #fascistic techniques of #putin and #pelosi

-Supporting Hamas
-Supporting Hezbollah
-Supporting Antifa
-Supporting Destroying the Constitution
-Supporting Open Boarders
-Taxing 70% of your wealth

These are tactics of #Fascist - destruction is the end goal

Alla goda röster behövs för att komma bort från den enkelspåriga retoriken där gruppers gälla mot varann.

Are you one of those people who's looked back on 2017 and convinced yourself that you haven't achieved anything? Worried about catching up with your mates who seem to have done much better?

Let me tell you a story about #time.

A thread 👇
A long #time ago, back when I was about twelve or thirteen years old, my parents travelled to Uyo.

Before leaving, my mother asked me to prepare Edikang ikong soup so she and my father would eat when they returned.
When I was finished with the soup, it was supposed to look something like this:
