I have finally found the best twitter and folks it is Nevada slow counting twitter
a new challenger has entered the arena
and the Oscar for best foreign Nevada meme goes to
bonus points here for early childhood nostalgia
no meme thread is complete without @AsteadWesley taking the stage
remember when we thought the Iowa app debacle was going to easily win the 2020 election best memes contest
this meme is brought to you by a man with triplets who survived 400 hurricanes this year
prove to me this is not what’s happening
me every time I tell an editor I am almost done with a draft
we have our first return appearance to the Nevada slow count thread and of course it’s @AsteadWesley
this only has one RT but deserves more love
this was viral yesterday but still might be my favorite
I don’t watch the bachelorette but I am reliably told this is a factually true statement
when the entire county js hangry because nevada
what I tell my bosses every friday
the truth is there is a little bit of Nevada inside all of us
Nevada is just living out the real world fantasy of what all of us tell ourselves every time we tweet
one does not simply walk into nevada and count the votes

the meta memes are great because they're true
Leaked footage of what Nevada vote counters are doing instead of counting votes

New: The Senate Intelligence Committee just released its bipartisan report on the Obama administration’s response to Russian interference in the 2016 election. Find it here: intelligence.senate.gov/sites/default/…
Lisa Monaco recalled a conversation with Mitch McConnell where he stated "you security people should be careful that you're not getting used," which she interpreted as the majority leader doubting the intelligence concluding Russia was trying to interfere.
The Senate report is notably inconclusive on whether the Obama administration's messages to senior Russian officials to knock it off had any effect at all. Notes that the Kremlin's operations continued after the "high-level warnings of potential retaliation."

Smith, who said he was working on behalf of Michael Flynn, was warned he was likely getting mixed up with Russian hackers in his pursuit of emails, but he continued to pursue them just weeks before the election. wsj.com/articles/gop-o…
Smith used a dummy Gmail account with the alias “Robert Tyler” to communicate w/ associates, but others had access to the account. An Oct. 11 email simply signed ROB referred to the money as for “the Washington Scholarship Fund for the Russian students” wsj.com/articles/gop-o…

This affidavit unsealed today against Russian national Mariia Butina is incredible. This Twitter DM she sent to a Russian official discusses how one political party, apparently the GOP, is "for us" while the other, Democrats, is "against" us.

"Our move here is very important."
Right after Trump won, Butina told the Russian official: "I'm going to sleep. It's 3 am here. I am ready for further orders."

Russian official replied: "Think about in which areas of life we could go towards bringing us closer. ISIS ... we need to look at the American agenda."
!!

A month before the election Butina discussed with the Russian official she should volunteer to serve as a U.S. election observer.

The Russian official said "the risk of provocation is too high..."

Butina: "Only incognito! Right now everything has to be quiet and careful."
