A long time ago, I worked at the New York Observer with Robin. We were walking back to the office from lunch one day when we came upon some cops speaking to a woman who had just been mugged, along with a few eyewitnesses...
As I wondered what might have happened, Robin took her reporter's notebook from her bag and moved in to get the story. And as Robin spoke with everyone, I...stood back, profoundly uncomfortable. Because, I realized, I wasn't a reporter. I wasn't wired to do what Robin did:
Ask the tough questions to get the truth.

I haven't seen her in years, but it's no surprise that she (and Kate Kelly) did this work to write this book. This is why we need a free press. It's also why we need a free @FBI and DOJ.

Play this out: the @HouseDemocrats seem to (finally) be moving to impeachment. The Manhattan DA subpoenaed 8 years of his taxes. And based on his #UNGA speech, he's cognitively impaired. What if Trump just makes a break for a Trump Tower bunker? Boom. We sort of have Die Hard.
First he'd text Ivanka to join him. She'd pretend to have missed it ("Was at the gym! XX") and try to blend in at Sant Ambroeus. She'd text Don Jr. and Eric ("Uch I'm sure u heard from Daddy too"), who would say "Oh yeah, definitely," then check their phones, then sob a little.
The adult sons rush to Trump Tower for the family's Last Stand. Eric gets lost, end up in Bushwick, and is never heard from again.

Based on a quick scan of the life of @BriscoeCain he didn’t mean to type “My ART PROJECT is ready for you.” So: just another dummy who memorizes insult lines from Trump rallies threatening a Presidential candidate.

And other details about him are so predictable...
Most conservative member of the Texas legislature, where he is also considered one of the worst. Science frightens him. He regularly puts the Bible above the Constitution and his own extreme personal faith above the rights of others. No surprise, right? And then there’s...
“Bergundi.” That is the *perfect* name for his wife. The kids are probably Bronko, Calebb, Kahmaro, and Briscoe, Jr.

Congrats, Briscoe, you’re one messy affair from filling your evangelical Republican bingo card.

Yeah, no, I’m aware of those, Nick. I’m just saying this looks... less exciting. But as long as you’re not complaining!
We can just swap you out for Robert Davi.
And I don’t want to waste time shitting on your credits, @yesnicksearcy. (Hell, I wrote on “Nikki.”) The important point is that this is what you and other ‘conservatives’ defend: our government orders officials to lie about the weather or be fired. nytimes.com/2019/09/11/us/…

1. For those that are still not familiar with the symbolism of the satanic cabal to understand just why Q keeps saying:

#SymbolismWillBeTheirDownfall 💊

This 🧵 will lightly cover some of the cabal's symbols they use.

Kindly wait until I say I'm finished to unroll.

Ready❓
2. Before we go into the various symbols and their meanings, note that in preparing this 🧵, I realized just how ginormous this is.

Symbols are literally EVERYWHERE.

I notice them at restaurants, day care centers, then again, I live in California. Keep your 👀 & 🧠 open
3. It's nearly impossible for me to list, define or explain them all. I will do my best to present the basic ones.

👇 Here is a quick article that lightly explains some of them 👇

The Only Green New Deals That Have Ever Worked Were Done With Nuclear, Not Renewables

My latest column @Forbes — please share!
forbes.com/sites/michaels…
@Forbes 1. Three weeks ago, Rep. Ocasio-Cortez said, "The world is gonna end in 12 years if we don’t address climate change."

Then, yesterday, @AOC proposed a “transition from” nuclear power, America’s largest source of emissions-free energy.
@Forbes @AOC 2. What gives? How does she avoid the cognitive dissonance created by holding two radically opposed views?

After all, the only green new deals that have ever worked were done with nuclear, not renewables.

How do I know? Well, for starters, I helped create one of them.

A long time ago, I worked for a Japanese company which had a Alert Lots Of People function available to it. We drilled on its use.

Since it's instructive (this thread may be longish):
A: "I am declaring [an emergency / a drill] for [area]. Get the book."
B: "I am secondary on [an emergency / a drill] for [area]. Here is the book."

A flips to Page 1 and reads down a checklist in order.
A: "I am attempting to log into [production / test] environment."
B: "Confirming you are attempting to log into [production / test environment]."

A: "Login complete."
B: "I verify you are logged into production. Proceed."

A: "I am queueing up an alert, entitled $TEXT."
B: "Confirm to me that your expected text is [reads screen]."
A: "Confirm"

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:
