1. What is the last time a perceived leftist liberation army won? Did the #IRA win? If they did it was done gracefully. What separated them from other groups to buy a deal? IMO because they showed they'd kill the Royals. When they killed Dianna's uncle Lord Louis Mountbatten
2. it all changed. Things got more violent but peace in the end.

In 1978 I lived in #Sunnyside #Queens. @AOC District. There was a small magazine shop at the corner on Greenpoint. It had IRA publications in the window & they were openly collecting money for "the cause."
3. Twenty years after Mountabatten's killing the Good Friday agreement was the culmination of hard work of many including the Mitchell team to bring peace. Bitterness may remain but Ireland had moved on. Until #Brexit. @BorisJohnson @foreignoffice @GCHQ

1. In advance of the Wednesday's oral argument over Trump Mazars subpoena, I checked the 2nd Cir docket and found Vance's office's letter to the court about what may come next. Vance is giving Trump a stay to let the 2nd Cir rule plus 10 days. For that he got an expedited
2. schedule to tee up the certiorari petition. With only ten days of stay Trump will have to rush his petition. He'll likely seek another stay but they will be up against the clock.

The briefing will be over ten calendar days after Trump files his petition and by then the
3. ten day stay will be expired. So when SCOTUS considers Trump's stay the certiorari may be mostly briefed. It will give SCOTUS a good record to address the stay and whether to even grant cert. I think Trump's case is so bad Vance is betting they deny cert in short order.

1. The irony for the @GOP is in 2021 Trump will be charged with genocide of #Christians. Crimes against the Kurds are war crimes and more likely ethnic cleansing. But because Syrian Christians make up so small a sustainable culture the law's "destroy in substantial part"
2. element is more easily met than with Kurds that are a larger population. Trump making an agreement with and ISIS affiliate to commit genocide means he's likely going to prison. The minimum sentence for genocide is life in prison.
3. And not just @POTUS @RealDonaldTrump. @VP Pence @SecPompeo and likely @whitehouse counsel all are chargeable. If the the Trump children are found to have known and taken Mehmet Ali Yalçında blood money and not reported it, I think Jr, @IvankaTrump @EricTrump can be charged.

A lot of bad Democratic politicking is really just white liberals being afraid to confront white conservatives in their families/social circles, but on a national scale.
And the result is a completely insufferable asymmetry where not only are elected Republicans doing Trump's base's bidding, elected Democrats overly fixate on how Trump's base will react to what we do, and it paralyzes our leaders from acting when they should.
When is the last time you saw this take: "Here's how Republicans can win over Hillary voters"? The onus is always on us to adjust our politicking so that we can win back Trump voters. That's to keep whiteness centered.

1) Friends, #Q post from yesterday indicates a plan to discredit #QAnon is being deployed. Here is what to watch for and expect.

They're panicked & desperate, recent events are starting to zero in on the #cabal's deepest secret. Some thoughts...

#WWG1WGA #MAGA #TheStorm @POTUS
2) The recent #NYTimes op-ed on #Qanon was huge. Our response was magical. Measured, fact based, not R v D, and polite. #WeThePeople did a brilliant job. At last check it was over 700 comments and very few retwteets.

#GreatAwakenening #QArmy #Q #MAGA

3) Keep this tactic alive. The new wave, per #Q's drop, will be coming from the ever grumpy #4chan which goes absolutely mental over any mention of #QAnon. So the tactic will be pitting the #Anons against each other, using #mediamatters in a coordination with the #MSM. #FakeNews

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:

3yrs later, her mind's wanderlusts appears intent than ever, to be elsewhere but here; in the present. #Dementia140
Today 3rs ago, Mama buried her best friend all through 11 births, 4(?) miscarriages, to the fading of her memory.
By (4?) I mean known miscarriages.She was really secretive. Sometimes, I still think she is still secretive even by her mind not being here.
