1. This CRAZY man's CRAZY, non-sensical, non-linear rambling, where he splices together AGAIN two distinct topics (and thus, accidentally produces something far more nefarious sounding, but since this is THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA doing that, on the topic of
2. election returns/election security is a HUGE problem. Its a problem for Reps- who hear from someone who should be a reliable source, wild accusations against an imp political figure in the opposition party, @staceyabrams, even though these allegations are outlandish & recounts
3. by-hand have already disproven Trump's claims about GA's voting system having computer bugs. So we should be gaining more confidence in its system, not less. And its also racist as hell for him to alleging that Abrams is doing illegal things. LOOOOOOONNNNGGG history of GOP or7
4. white conservatives alleging fraud among Black voters and Black activists which is a classic gaslight operation to cover up simultaneous suppression efforts and efforts to disenfranchise the Black community- as we saw in that effort in MI. Its gross. Finally, what Trump is
5. doing to GA's Sec. of State, to that man's whole family: the whole GA Rep Party is about to get a crash course in the sick underbelly of MAGA as it watches one of their one get chewed up and spit out by Trump's monstrous supporters who I have no doubt are blowing up that poor
6. man's life as I type. And yes, he did play a role in obstruction before, in 2018, but when faced w an obvious moral choice here, he did the right thing. He could have done what almost everyone else has done in GA, and beyond. Could have turned a blind yet until it was gone.

1. Don't fall into a trap w the new Court & its supporting cast on these religious liberty cases about COVID regulations. So long as there are casinos open in Vegas or liquor stores/bars open, you're walking into political minefield that is easily exploitable. Should churches be
2. holding large gatherings? No! WILL they hold gatherings if they're allowed to, even though that's a bad idea on Earth 1? Yes, they will. They will hold events, then be surprised that someone managed to bring the virus to it. That one person will infect 10 others. Maybe more.
3. Maybe one of them will degrade. One might even get hospitalized. It'll a big surprise to the family, but it'll be just another story- hardly remarkable out here in Earth 2- where real news and info exists. But the fact is that you can't have schools and churches closed, but

1. I'll add to this, I still have some knowledge gaps as to how a fully funded, Red to Blue/DCCC campaign or a high level Senate race is operated in terms of the campaign's relationship w the party's org. I know a great deal, but its come to me in bits & pieces & I'd appreciate
2. a full debrief so I can better understand the whole process. But what I DO know of it there are some obvious issues, some of which the authors here allude to (when they refer to the DCCC's "one-size-fits-all" messaging approach). But I do know candidates are railroaded into
3. the party's preferred messaging and targeting systems, vendors, etc by essentially a behavioral choice system, that provides options but only within a predetermined strategic framework designed in advance. I do know that campaigns have so independence, esp if they are prolific

1. I am thankful that at 12pm 1/20 the powers of the prez will be removed from the most dangerous person who has ever held them. I am thankful for the many wonderful fellow Americans from across the spectrum that joined me to help get him out & save America from authoritarianism
2. I am thankful for each & every person that had to make a hard decision, stay silent & normalize this man & his party's actions- which mirror so closely actions taken by other leaders & parties as they moved to consolidate power at the expense of democracy (as documented so
3. clearly by @anneapplebaum's book Twilight of Democracy) bc their lock on power is threatened. Those of us that took a holistic look at events in the U.S., the scope of the Right's propaganda network, and the lengths to which GOP influencers (electeds & media) were willing to

1. Biden is clearly being sincere in his outreach effort to Republicans, and this is no lukewarm effort- its a full court press. And I am not acting on any insider knowledge, but my assumption is that he's been pushing for a one-on-one w McConnell- hoping that he can convince him
2. hit the reset button, that the two of them, by the virtue of their positions, DO hold determinative power to force a change in tone & behavior. That if both of them committed to it, and then brought McCarthy & Pelosi & Schumer along, they COULD impose design institutional
3. management systems that redirect member behavior towards normality, towards the old way of doing business. A lot of behavior is structured by the rules, reward, and sanction systems set up by party leadership- there are a lot of carrots and sticks that could be used to reign

1. This doesn't surprise me. Why? Negative partisanship. @Ilhan has been made 1 of the most infamous Ds by the GOP's shrewd electioneering shop. She's the poster-child for white identity politics, white grievance backlash, & the "fear factor" that drives the nativism, xenophobia,
2. racism in the new Republican Party- which keep in mind, looks to be heading to be a party where the median member will have to run under a platform of accusing Biden of being an illegitimate prez, of having stolen the election, and this will be the litmus test for the 2022 &
3. 2024 cycles for GOP nominees. Incumbents will be pushed to stake this position to ward off primary challenges. Again- removing Trump from the prez eradicates MASSIVE emergent threats to the Republic, domestic & foreign, but we are still in a crisis situation here. In any case,

1. Avoiding the tacky way Trump did it, @JoeBiden should learn from Trump as to credit-claiming. @BarackObama NEVER got this- so Americans never really heard that the good shit they got came from Ds. Failure to credit claim & frame the economy positively comes from the same
2. old-school consultant mind set that doesn't understand that public opinion flows from the top-down, voters only know what you tell them, and thus, you create public opinion. This is what Rs do & is the reason that even after all of this shit show-including the fact that more
3. than 30 GOP senators believe that Americans should receive NO additional covid economic relief, polls continue to tell us that people trust Rs more on the economy than Ds. This is due to "issue ownership"- voters are defaulting to the party's historic advantage on the issue
