What to rename the Army bases that honor Confederate soldiers washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/…

I have two additional suggestions for renaming Army bases. Both are incredible women.
(1) Major General Mary Clark, the last Director of WACs before it was abolished to allow integration of women in the Regular Army. That allowed women to hold positions reserved for RA officers. I was GC of the Army at that time and proud of this accomplishment.
Gen. Clark was the first woman to achieve rank of Major General when she moved from WACs to be first woman to command a major installation, Fort McClellan.
(2) Although an Air Force officer, Wilma Vaught, founded, and at 90 is still actively involved in, the Women in Military Service Memorial @wimsatweets so deserves cross-service recognition. She was the first woman to deploy with an AF Bomber Unit & attained rank of Brigadier Gen

1/ Loved @Lawrence @TheLastWord tonight criticizing the press for not asking Trump hard questions and for treating him differently than they do @VP. I think their failure to fact check him in real time by follow up qs was a huge failure.
2/ Every reporter should have been prepared to follow up on their q because they should have predicted his answers and had the facts to correct him in a follow up q. Another way to fact check the non-stop liar in real time is to delay broadcast of his appearances until the facts can be put along side the words he speaks.
3/That is what every outlet should do so that listeners are not mislead until after the fact when they may no longer be watching. And, lie Trump did. Here's a summary of just a few of the lies, insults and insane remarks about crowd sizes, immigrants being sent here from jails and insane asylums, and more:

1/By now you know GA indicted #TFG and 18 others for a coup attempt in GA and beyond. There are 41 felonies clearly laid out in 98 pages. Crimes include RICO charges with a 5 year mandatory minimum sentence, perjury, false statements, forgery, impersonating a public ofcr, etc...
2/His co-defendants include many you know (Mark Meadows, Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, Jenna Ellis, Kenneth Chesebro, Jeffrey Clark, John Eastman) and many you don't, but all are in for the whole thing. Who will flip is question one. How many can be tried together is question two
3/ 19 defendants cannot fit in any courtroom in America with lawyers and support staff so there will be multiple trials, all of which should be televised. (More on that to come since it will require changes in the rules in federal court.)
Thank you to #DAFaniWillis and her team.

1/Trump will not testify in E. Jean Carroll civil rape/defamation case. He has no defense. None. Zero. How can the jury not find in favor of Carroll. Her evidence was strong, including her testimony, collaboration from those she told contemporaneously,
thehill.com/regulation/cou…
2/+ testimony of other women he did the same to them, and his deposition statement that "fortunately or unfortunately" "stars" can kiss and grab women by the p*&$y and he's a "star." As bad, despite defaming her as a liar and not his type so he wouldn't rape her, he then said:
3/his wives were his type & then mistakenly id'd Carroll as his wife Marla Maples. Add the expert testimony which undid any impact of @TacopinaLaw's cross re her not screaming, going to police & continuing to shop at the scene of the crime, & you have a verdict for @ejeancarroll.

1/This is a week that could be the end of the beginning of accountability for Trump. Atty/client privilege was once again ruled inapplicable bec of crime/fraud exception resulting in atty Evan Corcoran testifying at Jack Smith's grand jury about classified documents.
2/Corcoran's testimony may be key to proving Trump obstructed the investigation. Plus, we learned another atty, Tim Parlatore, testified in Dec. Meanwhile, T said he'd be indicted in NY (but wasn't) and called on his cult to protest, which is what caused Jan6.
3/He didn't ask for peaceful protest. Then T threatened death & destruction if he were indicted, & today he is holding a rally in Waco TX, home of the militia movement, which seems like a call to arms & violence to me, much like what led to #Jan6. Watch out because there's more.

1/Even hours after watching the Memphis videos of the police brutally beating #TyreNichols, I am angry and sad and unsure what to say. Many cannot -- and should not -- watch this because of its senseless violence, but we must talk about how to prevent this from repeating again.
2/It shows the cultural problem of the police in a new light. We cannot blame the racism and the violence on White officers. Here 5 Black officers beat to death a Black man, alleged to have committed a traffic offense -- which I didn't see on the videos. Where is it?
3/But even if it was a legitimate traffic stop, chasing Tyre, an employed 29 year old father, & beating him can never be justified. Worse, standing around & offering no aid. Waiting more than 20 minutes for an ambulance cruel and criminal. Why didn't police drive him to hospital?

I was totally opposed and now am not. Follow this thread to see why.
1. Started at no to a special counsel -- unnecessary, wastes time and $ as SC learns what DOJ already knows and accomplishes nothing because there is no conflict and the exceptional circumstances aren't enough &
2/Trump and his cult will not accept anyone as not being an "angry Democrat on a witch hunt." Plus, it demeans the DOJ which is capable of investigating and deciding whether to prosecute based on the law and facts with no political agenda and it gives Trump special treatment and
3/opens door to any other politician under investigation declaring for the presidency to evade accountability. (Yes, I know that he's the only former President in the mix, but still.) And, the regs do not make SC independent. AG still has final say and SC must follow DOJ rules.
