January 6, I will be watching the Republicans in the House who plan to try to overturn the Electoral College and when they fail, will completely support those Congressional districts succeeding from the union as they threaten.

Best of luck.
It’s tough starting a new country under any circumstance. Having Mo Brooks instead of Thomas Jefferson and a handful of proud boys instead of Washington’s Army will add to the challenge.
(This is a rant, not a spelling bee.)

Secede, succeed.
All the big talkers like Ted Cruz will likely down posture in their chairs when they yell “who’s with me?” Marco Rubio will be reciting enigmatic verses.
The tea party will be like “just joking. We kind of have to tax you” because all that’s left is a factory Trump promised to open but never did & the Museum of Creation which hasn’t been a big money maker (but is highly interesting if you’re in Northern Kentucky).
People want to know if I’m joking about supporting succession and I realize there’s no good tweet where some people aren’t saying “he’s not serious. Right?”
People ask for a sarcasm font. I say no don’t. It’s like telling a joke and first saying “I’m about to be sarcastic.” So what if some people don’t think I’m joking when I am or so when I’m not? It’s the middle of the night on Twitter. If you’re on, it’s up to you!
Interpret a tweet anyway that suits you. Read it both ways and whatever you like.

Otherwise we’re left with cretins who tweet in all caps because they haven’t created a subtle thing in their life, except maybe Tiffany, except turns out no. Not even her.
Anyway I love you guys for being up late on Twitter when I am or even in the morning re-reading Twitter hash with your coffee.

You probably all have serious business tomorrow and I hope you slay whatever dragon tries to get in your way.

Andy
I’ve been forced into saying it. For those who get this far— I have to eliminate the ambiguity given some valid concerns— nobody wants this district in Alabama to secede. I want it to have a MOC that supports the Constitution. I guess I should have just tweeted that.🙁

COVID Update December 17: This is my worst thread. I hate writing it. But I have to write it. 1/
This is what happened yesterday in California. 61,000 new cases in a single day.

But it’s not the cases. It’s the trajectory. 35,000 prior peak. 2/ Image
This is what happened in Minnesota. It’s not the decline to still historically high numbers. It’s that the governor was forced to majorly let up on restrictions yesterday at the first sign— a sure fire sign they are coming back. 3/ Image

2020 highlights in review: Who said it & when. No Google searches, just guesses.

“I think we are going to be in two, three, four weeks, by the tune we next speak, I think we’re going to be in very good shape.”
Question 2: “We now know, thanks to widespread blood testing, that the virus isn’t that deadly...The death toll is a tiny fraction of what we were told it would be.”

Who and when?
“Anthony Fauci has been wrong about everything.”

Who and when.

COVID Update December 16: Why you won’t hear me use the phrase “anti-vaxxer.” 1/
First let me tell you my opinion of vaccines. If they hadn’t been invented we would be so much worse off as a planet.

It’s probably a more important invention than Tik Tok. 2/
And the story of the first people who took vaccines is a story of “you’re serious. You’re going to put that in my body. GTFO.”

But the story with small pox goes (more or less) the first does went to the vaccine makers kid & when it worked all the next went to the king’s kids. 3/

COVID Update December 14, 2020 (D-Day):

Today is a day filled with so many important reminders. 1/
First— on the vaccine. Today is not the day of triumph. It is not the day of victory over COVID. But today is the day when we showed up to the fight. 2/
Today is the day our troops landed on the beaches. And like Normandy, many many didn’t make it. They gave themselves not willingly but because the country proved defenseless. 3/

Trump’s White House taking the vaccine tomorrow is a symbol of a larger problem.

I’m beginning to hear of privileged people who are like jumping. 1/
Hearing that companies involved in distribution are carving out small caches for their executives.

Not people who are CDC recommended. But people with bank.
This is deeply immoral and fitting with some of the worst traits of our country.

COVID Update December 11: The FDA did not hire you Donald Trump.

So STFU. 1/
Also Mark Meadows, with all due respect to your 11th grade chemistry teacher, pipe down. You’re not helping. 2/
Very often people say hey, did you hear what Donald Trump said??

I often say “No, please enlighten me. I’m eager to hear the esteemed thoughts of a learned & considered mind.” 3/
