BREAKING: I'm sure most of you have already seen the Project Veritas video which has been pushed by Breitbart and other right wing media. In this thread, I'll outline why these accusations of ballot harvesting are frivolous, and why the witnesses can't be trusted.
(THREAD)
Project Veritas, Breitbart, Donald Trump and others are accusing Ilhan Omar of "ballot harvesting" in Minnesota. On the surface, this seems like quite a damning allegation, but in reality it is not. Why? I will explain. (THREAD)
Project Veritas & Breitbart accuse individuals associated with Ilhan Omar of "ballot harvesting" (picking up and delivering more than 3 ballots to a polling place). However, at the time the Project Veritas video was made, ballot harvesting WAS ACTUALLY PERMITTED BY LAW. (THREAD)
Several months before the August 11 Primaries in Minnesota, due to COVID, the Secretary of State entered into a consent decree that ordered attorneys and election administrators not to enforce the 3 person ballot harvesting limit. (THREAD)
As you can see, the Project Veritas video was made on July 2, which is after the Sec. of State in Minnesota decided that attorneys and election officials can not enforce “ballot harvesting” limits of 3 per person. At the time this harvesting took place it was permitted by law.
Also in July, Ramsey County District Judge Thomas Gilligan approved a motion for a temporary injunction that would halt enforcement of both the in-person and absentee harvesting limits, essentially guaranteeing, temporarily, that harvesting of more than 3 ballots would be legal.
Now let’s move onto the star witness in the Project Veritas / Breitbart conspiracy theory, Omar Jamal. Omar Jamal has a criminal history (THREAD).
Omar Jamal, the Project Veritas star witness is actually a convict. In 2005, he was convicted of lying to immigration officials and using a fake passport. He was arrested in 2003 for immigration and criminal fraud.
Every other witness in the Project Veritas video refuses to give their names or have their faces shown. Essentially they all could have been paid actors. Let's remember that Project Veritas' James O'Keefe has been accused of and charged with crimes.
And here is one last article about former criminal Omar Jamal, Project Veritas' star witness. (END OF THREAD) mprnews.org/story/2009/04/…

Given that the Trump White House had Twitter censored speech that they didn't like, I demand to know the real reason Brian & Ed Krassenstein were banned from Twitter 3 days after President Trump met with Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey. Will @ElonMusk release those docs too? twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
3 Days after Trump met with Jack Dorsey, Twitter banned both Brian & Ed Krassenstein, without giving any direct reason to the media. The indirect reason they provided the media with was bogus and defamatory. They simply stated... (thread)
Twitter's statement on the Krassenstein ban: “The Twitter Rules apply to everyone. Operating multiple fake accounts and purchasing account interactions are strictly prohibited. Engaging in these behaviors will result in permanent suspension from the service.”

FYI I edited this post because @LennyDykstra only got convictions on "lewd conduct" and "assault" (not technically "sexual assault"). But please read the rest of this thread.
@LennyDykstra "was accused of luring 5 unsuspecting women to his residence using Craigslist… When they arrived, he said massages were part of the gig and then exposed himself, prosecutors said. During 1 incident, Dykstra held a knife and forced the victim to massage his body”
In my book, holding a knife to a woman and forcing her to massage you sure sounds like sexual assault, but to make sure I'm not Defaming @LennyDykstra I edited the post to only reflect the lewd conduct and assault. Lenny never was convicted for rape.

A lot of terrible misinformation is being spread on Twitter by @JamesBradleyCA @JackPosobiec @CawthornforNC and others regarding FTX, Sam Bankman-Fried, the Democrats and Ukraine. Most of it is completely fabricated. I will outline it in this thread. #FTXscam
The rumor being spread is that Joe Biden funded Ukraine, then Ukraine funded Sam Bankman-Fried's FTX and then #FTX Funded the Democrats as part of some evil money laundering operation. This simply is not true. I'll explain.
Yes, Joe Biden signed off on sending billions of dollars in aid to Ukraine, all in the form of useful military aid (not cash, not crypto, not any type of money). These were tanks, guns, armor, training and other useful military objects...

(THREAD) There is a lot of misinformation concerning gas and oil prices in the US that I thought I'd try and clear up. US companies are the ones who decide where they buy oil from, not the US government. In capitalism, the government merely has the ability to do a few things.
They can sanction countries preventing Americans from buying oil from them, or tax imports of oil from certain countries, likely starting a trade war and pushing prices higher.
The president, nor the government, actually is buying oil from overseas or America unless they are replenishing the strategic oil reserves. Ultimately, however, U.S. refineries prefer "heavy sour" oil because it's cheaper to purchase and they are more equipped to process it.

(THREAD) The GOP wants you to believe that Biden is somehow responsible for gas and oil prices. They want you to believe he's importing oil from other nations and hurting Americans by doing so. I will explain why this is simply not true. It's actually the opposite. 👇
First of all, the US government is not importing an exporting oil. US companies are doing so. We are a capitalistic country where the government doesn't make decisions on where a company buys their oil from.(thread) 👇
Next, we must first understand that there are different types of oil. There is heavy sour, heavy sweet, light sour and light sweet. The majority of US mined oil is of the "light" variety" and the majority of foreign mined oil is of the heavy variety. This is important (thread) 👇

The Durham story is a Nothingburger (Read):

✅ Durham does not say that Joffe, who got the DNS data, was working for Clinton. In fact he wasn't.
✅ The Cybersecurity experts, who the filing NEVER says was working for Clinton, were investigating malware on WH servers. (THREAD)
✅ The filing doesn't even say that the white house DNS records were from the Trump era. in fact most of the data associated with the Yotaphone analysis came from the Obama Era.
✅ DNS data is not private.
✅ Joffe had lawful access under a contract to work with others to analyze DNS data — including from the White House to search for security breaches and/or threats.
✅ Joffe's information was shared with the CIA so he clearly wasn't sneaking around working for Clinton.
