"Their goal is not to govern, but to rule." gaslitnationpod.com

"They are going to try to leave all of these institutions, these departments, as bereft of oversight and actual people in there [doing] something to serve the American public as possible. Because that is how they maintain their power." - @sarahkendzior @gaslitnation

"Imagine that all of us today have returned from a time machine from the future, and we see what it's like if we do not get Georgia... I cannot tell you what a different future this country and the world will have if we can get Ossoff and Warnock." - @AndreaChalupa

"We now have Trump trying to strip civil service protections from 88% of employees at the OMB... Other departments are likely to follow. This is a step toward executive autocracy" like we've seen in Hungary or Turkey. - @sarahkendzior @gaslitnation gaslitnationpod.com

"Once it became clear Trump lost the election, a new goal came into view: sabotaging Pres. Elect Biden... The Office of Management & Budget produced a memo which classified 88% of its workers as Schedule F." - @sarahkendzior #GaslitNation govexec.com/management/202…

"Don Moynihan... notes that a 2017 Domestic Policy Council member from another Heritage Foundation alum laid out the framework for dismantling public sector unions and making it easier to fire employees, including... that the president can fire anyone." gaslitnationpod.com

"They've hollowed out our government and that leaves the American people very vulnerable. It's a bonanza for any kind of hostile state that wants to take advantage of the situation, as well as for the criminals within the Trump administration." - @sarahkendzior @gaslitnation

The criminals in the Trump administration are likely wrapping up heists, reallocating resources into their own pockets, everything they've been doing for four years -- ramped up on their way out the door. #GaslitNation gaslitnationpod.com

"The first term was spent being an aspiring autocrat and spending time with actual autocrats." Kim Jon Un, Vladimir Putin, Hungary's Orban coming to the White House - @AndreaChalupa @gaslitnation gaslitnationpod.com

"Next time we're going to get #PoshTrump. We're going to get a cleaned up version of Trump. Maybe Josh Hawley out of Missouri who has a boyish smile. Maybe it'll be him. It's going to be somebody... that they can clean up nice for the American public." - @AndreaChalupa

"The important, blazing, neon sign for all of us is that the next autocrat is going to learn from all of Trump's mistakes and improve upon them and have a much clearer roadmap on how to... rule above accountability, dismantle more efficiently," etc. - @AndreaChalupa @gaslitnation

The number of times I've almost tagged @AlexandraChalup instead of @AndreaChalupa in this thread so far is a national embarrassment. Hopefully now I've got it out of my system.

"I'm comforted that we're returning to normal Twitter fights, but at the same time, I don't want people to... become complacent when the threats remain and we have a Republican party that is brilliant at gaslighting." - @AndreaChalupa @gaslitnation gaslitnationpod.com

Mohsen Fakhrizadeh is the second Iranian official murdered this year, after Qasem Soleimani, "whose assassination nearly brought us to the brink of WW3 back in January 2020. And yes, it's the same 2020, believe it or not. The endless year of Hell." - @sarahkendzior @gaslitnation

"It's important to remember that Netanyahu is deeply intertwined with the worst elements of the Trump admin., particularly Jared Kushner. These ties go back for decades, as does their mutual lust for war with Iran and their hated for the Obama administration & the Iran deal."

"This is an axis of autocrats in the Middle East that Kushner and others in the Trump administration have been putting together, not in the interest of peace... but in the interest of big money, personal favors, and likely war." - @sarahkendzior

"Trump does not want to be blamed for starting WW3... But would he welcome a situation that he can spin as having no choice but to pursue WW3? Yes, he would. Would that allow him to carry out long held desires like using nuclear weapons...? Yes, it would."

"Would this war cause chaos for the impending Biden administration or even be used as a pretext for Trump to stay in office under an emergency decree? Yes, it would. Is it possible that Iran will finally strike back with their most likely response being a cyberattack? YES."

"Given that nearly everything that transpired since 2016 is a worst case scenario that DID come to pass, nothing should be ruled out." - @sarahkendzior

I'm only halfway through this episode of @GaslitNation and have already highlighted so much. I'll keep going but won't share as much from the second half. I want you to LISTEN! 😃 GasLitNationPod.com & support @sarahkendzior and @AndreaChalupa. Bonus eps on Patreon.

"I am very, very worried... about what is going to happen to the classified information that has been accumulated by [people like Bannon, Kushner, others who shouldn't have had security clearance]... There are a lot of different ways to blackmail a government." - @sarahkendzior

"If this [dismantling] continues... without accountability, without investigation... I don't think we'll make it to 2022, to 2024. And if we make it, it will be under the guidance of an openly fascist GOP autocratic ruler."

I hope this is the first time @sarahkendzior is wrong.

This is a great point. All of the #MichaelFlynn #FLYNN news is just "Lied to the FBI." But about what?

"Working with Russia to manipulate a U.N. law over Israeli settlements." - 57:00 in Patreon Ad-Free @gaslitnation

Of course it involves Trump's buddies, Putin and Netanyahu.

"Flynn is obsessed with war in Iran. That's one of the reasons that he hated Obama so much... so they're pardoning Flynn right in time for the assassination of this scientist, these firing at the DoD... It's hard for me to look at this as disparate and unconnected." - Sarah
