I believe @realDonaldTrump and @SidneyPowell1

It was a quiet weekend at the Scopelliti home. I was closeted away in my office here for many hours researching, composing my long threads. I did get some nice cooking done too, treasuring my family.

2) It was a moment I could not have imagined just a short while ago. Unlike so many of you in your wisdom, we never made a hard break with FOX before. We've flirted with it. But 15 years of friendship is not easy to break.

3) I can honestly tell you I didn't miss the sound of TV news, at all. Sure, I always appreciated the entertainment factor, especially in the long gone days of the O'Reilly Factor. What a show that man could head up. He was a force. I knew I'd never forgive FOX for that.

4) A kind of silent clarity descended on @KateScopelliti, Anthony and me. We didn't speak much about it, but we knew an era had ended. And this is more than just a mere TV thing. It is a change in our daily lives of profound importance to us.

5) These past 15 years FOX has given us TV friends. We're not silly star worshipping fans. But when you watch an hour of a person's work each day for a while, you really do begin to know, at least, that person's public persona and professional dedication.

6) Our son Nico used to tease us about our collection of FOX News anchor trading cards. Never into the stats or ratings, we sure could tell you where any anchor or commentator stood, on any topic.

7) As many who've followed our story know, we were never active in politics beyond yelling at all the idiots and their idiotic statements, until 2016. It was a Bret Baier special that flipped my switch. It got me to make my first political call to my now-brother @TonyBronco.

8) Have I mentioned that I'm an old school, cold call salesman? I am also trained in collecting referrals and recommendations to others, and cold calling them. It wasn't a straight shot from calling @TonyBronco to working with @GenFlynn, but looking back, it feels that way.

9) Shortly after meeting @TonyBronco, I encountered @DBHFL500. I left him a voicemail. He returned it. As time went by, he introduced me to @tamaraleighllc and @Al_Baldasaro, who introduced me to @GenFlynn. That's how it works.

10) The real media I engaged in 2016 were simply email and telephone. Oh, @Al_Baldasaro also introduced me to @JoshuaMacias! Josh and I did all kind of wild and dangerous stuff, but it was Joshua who pushed my work out all over internet tarnation.

11) @tamaraleighllc and I became both fast and good friends. Thing is, she was always going off about Twitter and I simply had no time or interest. i thought she was just a little off center about social media. Truth is, I just didn't follow what she was saying.

12) Here's what I completely missed. I knew we were a political movement, duh. She kept telling me we were also a social media movement. Mind, at the time, due to the crossover between Facebook and my business, I was losing half my coaching clients due to social media.

13) At the time, I hated social media with a white hot, glowing, furious hatred. I considered it a sacrifice I'd made, unintentionally. Don't let me get started! So, I gave Tamara deaf ears on the points of both social media and especially Twitter.

14) Cut forward two years. In FEbruary, 2018, when I read the freshly released Nunes Report, I knew that we had the evil doers dead to rights over the @GenFlynn case. Something happened. Epiphany. I suddenly understand at an instinctive level what Tamara tried to teach me.

15) Tamara has built a website documenting what we did. If you're interested, you'll want to check it out: PardonFlynnNow.com. Here at Twitter, in social media. @tamaraleighllc, @JoshuaMacias, @KateScopelliti and I created a social media movement around...

#ClearFlynnNow

16) A wonderful, anonymous soul, inspired us with our first hashtag, #PardonFlynnNow. It did take off. But, it was found to be difficult for many Flynn supporters. A wonderful person recommended #ClearFlynnNow as easier for all. So, we switched, successfully.

17) @KateScopelliti still has THAT hashtag as the banner photo for her Twitter account. You can check it out. It was the amazing @cancerousToejam who created that perfect banner image.

18) My own Twitter story from then till now need not burden us. I've had my ups and downs, projects and what not since. I never imagined that, AFTER the 2020 election, I'd be here posting every day. Posting every day is not my favored mode, believe it or not.

19) If you go back up to the opening Tweet of this thread, and see my RT of @SidneyPowell1 telling us we won by a landslide, you can complete the circle. Why couldn't we watch FOX TV this weekend? They were busy paying homage to Joe Biden and his Office of the President Elect.

20) Turn back the clock once again. Not me, Kate was a CNN watcher for many years. She first made me watch during the Clinton Impeachment - I still think Ken Star is a wimp - and then, in our years in Cancun, that was all we could get.

21) When we returned to the States, that was the beginning of our FOX years. Now, it hurts me to type the words, FOX...

FOX = CNN

Not perfectly, but so much that it was a News quiet weekend at the Scopelliti home this past weekend.

22) I can tell you this. I will, no matter who he has on, never watch Chris Wallace's FOX News Sunday, ever again. That has been a Sunday ritual these so many years. I often yelled, but was never so utterly disgusted until 2020. Another one bites the dust.

23) @KateScopelliti loves Tucker. Seriously. I'm kind of jealous. So, when he spent 20 minutes on NOT the news this week, she still cut him slack. Me. Not so much. I love him too, but maybe a bit differently...

I don't think I'll ever have the same respect again.

24) Who remembers how UPS lost his flash drive? I thought seriously he'd continue to oust them over that. Nope. No more news there. Move along folks. Nothing to see here.

In my world, if you start a fight, you finish it. Tucker failed to finish the UPS story.

25) MIght as well spend a moment on Drudge, but not much more than that. How did we ever think he was actually on our side? Just because of the Blue Dress, etc.? No, not quite. He was with us in 2016. Who among us didn't LOVE going to Drudge back then? All day, again and again!

26) As Drudge has sold out, so also has FOX. They're both sell-outs. My Democratic friends stand behind Google, Twitter, Facebook in their policies. They sold out the day they were born. So then, media in America...is bad. Fake news. Fake social media.

27) Here's another historical excursion. Ben Franklin was the 1st Post Master General. The USPS was his crazy creation. Newspapers were shipped off in the mail...wait for it...for free. Who was the biggest newspaper publisher at the time? Ben Franklin was. Hmm.

28) You just have to make the connection. Ben Franklin was EASILY the Bill Gates of his day. He was a nerd. He was a scientist. And he was one of the richest men in America. I love him, I do. But he'd absolutely be on the Google/Facebook/Twitter side of today's debate.

29) Did I say Twitter? I did. Here we are. Newspapers? Publisher Franklin was a hero. Twitter? It is here at Twitter that @realDonaldTrump and @SidneyPowell1 are accessible to us. Go figure. Twitter. I guess @tamaraleighllc was right.

30) I'm not watching TV for my news, now. I believe in @realDonaldTrump and @SidneyPowell1. To hear what they have to say, I come right here. Twitter.

Go figure.
