HARD CORE ROSE COLORED GLASSES TWEET STARTING NOW. BUCKLE UP. ONLY POSITIVE TAKES.
I have had a few folks call me out for being negative the past few days. I am quite paranoid that Dems will take a Senate trial too lightly. But let's that negativity at the door. ROSE COLOREDS: HOW AWESOME IS PELOSI?
PELOSI HAS BEEN MASTERFUL. During 2017, she had the house pass bills on election interference, key economic issues, law enforcement ... she sent them to Moscow Mitch ... and she has more than 275 bills to point to while hasn't done shit. newsweek.com/democratic-sen…
Pelosi and the Dems have fought to keep the government open and viciously (and accurately) attacked Trump when he tried to mess things up. Done in a way that kept funding from the wasteful wall and hurt the Rs enough they had to cut a deal. washingtonpost.com/business/econo…
Pelosi kept government running, continued to investigate, refused to acknowledge she "hated" trump, AND CALLED OUT TRUMP FOR HIS RUSSIAN TIES. TO HIS FACE. IN AN EXCELLENT BLUE SUIT. WHILE HE WILTED.
AND SHE MAKES GREAT VISUALS FOR THE SOCIAL MEDIA ERA. THAT'S NOT AN ACCIDENT.
AND SHE LOOKS LIKE SHE IS KICKING AS CUZ SHE IS.
And while she was keeping government open, pilings bills on Moscow Mitch's desk, dealing Barr and Mueller, SHE WAS PATIENT, and she protected the House's credibility, and waited WHILE TWITTER TRIED TO BURN HER DOWN for not impeaching and she waited some more until Ukraine.
And when the whistleblower came forward with the Ukraine issue ... SHE RECOGNIZED IT as an issue of sufficient seriousness, based on clear narrative, including obvious violations of the US's foreign policy interests, that it had to proceed to impeachment.
And she didn't give it to judiciary, to be sub assigned to some committee ... she gave it Adam Goddam Schiff in the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. Where the counterintelligence issues could be treated with seriousness and where it would be NUNES V. SCHIFF.
And Nunes v. Schiff is pretty much a win right there. Because F Nunes, right @visionsurreal @DevinCow
@DevinNunes ?
Schiff called PROFESSIONAL PATRIOTS Lt. Col. Vindman, Amb. Taylor, Amb. Louise "Masha" Yovanovitch, Fiona Hill and they make an absolutely compelling case that Ukraine is in a hot war with Russia, and Trump's withholding aid is bad for US interests.
And Schiff called "Dead Men Walking" like Gordon Sondland who first lied, then CONFESSED TO EVERYTHING ON LIVE TV. This kind of thing doesn't happen by accident, it happens when patriots like Schiff and Pelosi MAKE IT HAPPEN.
Throughout all this, Dems said the right thing: "we'll decide when the investigation is complete"; and did the right thing: built a brutal case that the public could understand.
And just before a The Most Obvious Impeachment Vote (nod to The Most Average Honeypot, beloved Butina); Schumer pulled the pin and tossed a grenade to Mitch, who still holds it today: cbsnews.com/news/schumer-l…
Schumer's letter DID THE RIGHT THING: said we need a fair process in order to proceed. And every leadership Dem has properly echoed that. And all sane people agree. (including my friend @gregolear whom I may have improperly critiqued earlier).
@gregolear AND I AM ECSTATIC that it appears that Pelosi and Dem leadership understand (and larger and larger swaths of regular people understand) that there is no need to send articles to the Senate if Moscow Mitch is going to use them to try to burn down Biden.
AND I AM ECSTATIC that it appears that Biden himself recognizes that Moscow Mitch intends to exonerate Trump while attempting to burn down Biden AND BIDEN HAS STARTED AN OFFENSIVE AGAINST COMPLICIT MEDIA TO TRY TO GET THEM TO DO HONEST COVERAGE.
Biden's actual comments more important than the "won't comply with subpoena" spin put on by the media. Biden recognizes that Mitch calling him to testify would be a disinformation op; and sees that media would focus on Biden and let Trump off. DEMS NEED TO SEE THIS. BIDEN 2020.
And have talked to several "normal" people lately AND THEY SEE THAT RUSSIAN AND FOREIGN AND EVIL BOTNETS are amplifying bullshit and making everything worse. And they are sick of it. And they are happy to vote Biden even if their first choice is Warren or Yang or the Mayor.
AND I AM ECSTATIC to hear Dems talking about voting out Trump by any candidate necessary. We can sort out our differences on minor policy disputes AFTER WE CONSOLIDATE HOLD ON OUR DEMOCRACY and kick the filthy Russians and the filthy Trumps back into the gutter.
I have argued (for 9000 Trump years and/or the past normie year) that the Dems should not rush to impeach. Should use investigation and impeachment for max impact on election 2020. All because ceding control to Mitch in the Senate is a mistake. DEMS DID IT PERFECTLY.
DEMS DID IT PERFECTLY BECAUSE: 1) Ukraine is a compelling US v. RU, Patriot v. Impotus NATSEC issue; 2) Withheld articles from Senate so impeached BUT POWERLESS to control narrative; 3) other investigations continue while Trump and Mitch twist slowly in the wind. PERFECTO.
And us twitter denizens, WE HAVE LEARNED SO MUCH: we are more armored against disninfo; we have clarified the issue and the enemy: Multinational Organized Crime and Mogilevech; AND WE ARE UNIFIED AGAINST TRUMP.
SO I AM THRILLED. DARK DIRK, EVEN KINDA HAPPY. Education is the answer to disnfo and evil, and it appears that Dem leadership and regular citizens have learned a lot. So here's a big rose colored cheer to Pelosi, Sciff and Dem leadership and a big pat on the back for us.
ALSO I AM THRILLED that the the world is starting to see Giuliani as the mobbed up con man of ridiculousness he has become. nydailynews.com/news/politics/…
If you dig this kind of thing, please follow. I am a messy, imperfect human, but I am not a bot, and I try very hard to stay in front of the disinfo and Russian botnets.
