1) Donald Trump retweets as praise this thread of a citizen aggressively making her case to a member of Congress.
2) In October 2018, Trump lavishly praised a member of Congress for punching out a journalist who behaved not even a little aggressively
Trump's rule: Democratic members of the House must be polite to their aggressive questioners; Republican House members may be violent toward their questioners.
Trump and his supporters again and again demand the benefit of rules that they themselves do not follow; they demand rights for themselves that they do not allow to others.

As Trump compares constitutional impeachment process to lynching , a trip down memory lane to those long-ago days of June 2019 when Republicans opposed hyperbolic historic comparisons
Senator from Florida also condemned hyperbolic historical comparisons
Vice President of the United States condemned hyperbolic historical comparisons bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Look at this picture, then ...
... this one, taken in same room
When Erdogan meets with Putin, he displays a Russian flag of same size as Turkish. When he meets with Pence, TWO Turkish flags in background, one dinky little US flag on table. Visual statement of disdain by Erdogan for the United States and its weak, easily manipulated president

The Rao dissent in the Mazar case is breathtaking. Some quotes: "[A]llegations of illegal conduct against the President cannot be investigated by Congress except through impeachment." (p. 6)
Rao quotes the relevant Supreme Court precedent: “[I]n determining the legitimacy of a congressional act we do not look to the motives alleged to have prompted it.” Then in very same paragraph, refuses to be controlled by that precedent.
Supreme Ct says courts cannot query Congress's motives. Oh yeah? says Rao: "Yet a legislative purpose cannot whitewash this subpoena, which— by the Committee’s own description—targets allegations of illegal conduct by the President." (p. 7)

THREAD is Cyrus Vance, Jr. and what is he trying to do to Donald #Trump?
/2 Cy Vance, Jr is the son of Cyrus Vance ... big shoes to fill ... and was SOS under the Jimmy Carter administration.
3/ He resigned over Operation Eagle Claw, which was a mission to free the Iran Hostages in 1980. The events of that aborted mission ultimately leased to needed change within the military in helicopter training, etc, but I digress.

How India along with @realDonaldTrump thwarted #DeepState intervention in #Kashmir

#KashmirIssue
#OperationKashmir
#OperationAllOut
#KashmirUnderThreat
#KashmirOperation
Despite appearances chatter in the American circles is that CIA had intel on British intervention in #Kashmir put in motion during Cricket World Cup displaying the #KashmirIssue on world stage opening doors for their entry later on. #OperationKashmir
Knowing well India's position on #Kashmir & how Indians would react to mediation, Trump launched pre-emptive strike with his OFFER before #DeepState could move - thereby scandalising the "mediation" issue altogether. Moreso by saying it was Modi's request.

Yesterday's indictment is a major signal that we're nearing the end of the #TrumpRussia prologue.

I interviewed @Mimirocah1 about the story which she said indicates that "prosecutors are putting the pieces together."

I agree.

Here's my $0.02.

Why is Natalia Veselnitskaya's link to the Kremlin so important?

1 - SDNY provides Mueller with apolitical evidence sent from the target that predates all investigations.
2 - Proves Don Jr. met a Kremlin Agent
3 - Burns the Russian prosecution against @Billbrowder

2/
Natalia Veselnitskaya had been working on the Prevezon case for years, but in 2014 she involved herself drafting of the official response to the DoJ's invocation of a treaty for legal assistance.

She sent the evidence that she worked with the Kremlin to SDNY prosecutors.

Trump Fundraising Emails
@TrumpEmail
THREAD: I’ve put together a mini Midterms version of the Trump Fundraging analysis, focused mainly on the last few days before Election Day (Oct 29-Nov 6). Please RT!

#Trump #TrumpEmails #Midterms #2018Midterms #2018MidtermElections
From October 29th through November 6th, I got 27 total emails. That’s exactly 3/per day, WAY above the 0.896/day average throughout all of 2018.

I chose Oct 29th for this thread because that’s when they really started picking up.
“Donald J. Trump” dominated the From field most of Oct. In the week before the midterms, they switched to a big mix of surrogates: Donald Trump Jr. (1st email of 2018), Eric Trump (8th), Melania Trump (5th), Lara Trump (23rd), Newt Gingrich (12th), & Brad Parscale (12th).
