President Trump has now spent more than two weeks straight at Mar-a-Lago, and this morning, he is making his 259th visit, as president, to a Trump-brand golf course.

Luckily, there is nothing terribly important happening in the world.
Trump's total conflicts of interest are ticking up to 3,000—fed in no small part by his hundreds of visits to properties he still owns and profits from, which foreign governments and special interests use to curry favor with him and his administration citizensforethics.org/trump-conflict…
But remember, we must never forget that Trump cares deeply about fighting corruption.

Throughout the 2016 election, a famous American developer was in business with a family in Azarbaijan known to have deep financial ties to the IRGC.

His name was....*checks notes*....Donald J. Trump.
True story:
Can't stress this enough: The company founded and run by Mike Pence's boss, Donald Trump, knew that its Azerbaijani business partners very likely had deep financial ties to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and *continued to do business with them* anyway

It's a little known fact that one of Radiohead's best songs, Electioneering, was written about the 30-day pre-primary window, which opens tomorrow for Iowa, during which electioneering communications have to be reported to the Federal Election Commission
Some may look at the fact that no one likes their music tweets or their campaign finance-minutiae tweets and decide to avoid both.

Not me. I double down.
But seriously, the electioneering communications window for the Iowa caucuses does open tomorrow fec.gov/help-candidate…

How it is possible that @BorisJohnson is being investigated in the USA for potentially being compromised but nobody in the United Kingdom including the #bbcqt #media #Police have investigated this #crime #Brexit the #GeneralElection is days away #ReleaseTheRussianReport
The intrigue over a 'buried' probe into Russian spying deepened last night amid claims in security circles that it contains references to blackmail fears concerning Boris Johnson. #ReleaseTheRussianReport
One expert witness, who gave evidence to the ISC inquiry, has claimed privately to friends that he believes Boris Johnson was 'compromised' by a Russian businessman on a foreign trip in 2016
This is getting crazier 😱 #ReleaseTheRussianReport #GeneralElection2019 #GetJohnsonGone

Thread:
Why 4chan, 8chan, 8kun and Twitter?

One of the key problems with this type of information operation being waged on these platforms has been one of distribution: most of the public has no idea what 4chan or 8chan are, and while Twitter may be more popular, it still...
doesn’t reach a majority of the population.

We don’t know how long President Trump has been lurking on “the chans,” but we do know that he’s been there long enough to have a keen understanding of why they, and their inhabitants, would be such a strong weapon to use in this fight
For those of you who may have doubts that President Trump is in any way connected to the Q operation or even to 4chan & 8chan, I promise those doubts will be dispelled by the time we finish this series.

To begin, let’s go through some of the proofs that President Trump is ...

There are a lot of angry folks in my mentions who can't fathom why calling for a wellness check on a woman of color as an insult would upset so many people.

Many of you don't even seem to understand what a wellness check is in the first place.

So let's talk. 🧵
A wellness check, also known as a welfare check, refers to a very specific request within the criminal "justice" system.

This is when law enforcement is asked to check on someone, usually during a mental health crisis or if suspicious behavior is noted.
One such check was called in by a neighbor of Atatiana Jefferson, a Black woman living in Texas. He saw that her front door was ajar, and was concerned about a possible break-in.

This was a fatal error. The officer that conducted the wellness check shot and killed Atatiana.

Very specific request for help: at the Modi event, Trump made a claim about the unemployment rate for Indian Americans. Does anyone know if/where such data might exist? Thank you.
He was speaking to South Asian Indian Americans, not Native Americans, and reciting other stats about them. But I can’t find unemployment data on that population.
.@SamRVA found the data! Thanks everyone.

I was only 16 when 9/11 happened, but an analysis of that terror I read then has always stuck with me:

Al Qaeda preyed on young Saudi men who couldn't depend on making the money their fathers had, couldn't get women.

White supremacist terrorists operate the same way.
We all know the bit about Bin Laden promising virgins in heaven and all that, but mainstream media never really examined *why* that would be so appealing to young men in that area in that era.
Take this summary with a grain of salt-- I'm not an expert on Saudi Arabia and I'm going from memory-- but basically, the Saud dynasty had long used oil revenue to keep the population content, creating a very effective and well-funded public welfare system.

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

#PascoSheriff #HaveYouAllNoShame @CigarCityBeer
Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...
