This is only going to get worse for the establishment.

The “insurrection” farce will become more and more obvious to more and more people as time goes on.

The heavy handed way they are criminalizing protest when they justified it all summer will only further anger people. 1/5
Whether people are allowed to express this in public or are forced to repress their views and feelings, people know that the outcome in 2020 was manipulated.

Their desire to correct for 2020 will continue to grow. 2/5
Their first bite at the apple?

Republicans in primaries throughout the country.

But for this to work the people need a pide piper. An organizer. A fund raiser.

And a well rested Trump will happily fill that role. 3/5
Breaching the capitol that day was foolish but the frustration that led to it was very real.

It needs to be focused in a productive way.

We need to nominate the right candidates for Governor in the swing states. For Senate everywhere. For swing House districts. 4/5
This is a monumental task.

It’s time to reform once and for all what it means to be a Republican.

This is our moment.

The harder the establishment fights to stamp us out, the bigger the backlash. 5/5

Here’s my question @SenTomCotton, if the Congress’s role is simply to rubber stamp the state certified electoral college then why include in the Constitution a mechanism, specific to the election of a President, that includes the ability to object to state certified electors? 1/
Why not include, in the Constitution or the 12 Amendment or the Electoral Count Act, a simple phrase that says if certified the electors must be counted? 2/
Instead what is in the Constitution, 12A and ECA are phrases that acknowledge there could be various submissions, that the VP has a role in deciding which to count and the Congress has a role in potentially objecting to the VP’s decision. 3/

1/ My sister wrote the words below today in memory of our mother. Her birthday was January 1, 1944. We would always watch the ball drop and then call to wish her a happy birthday.

Happy birthday, Mom. Miss you.
2/ “Happy birthday in heaven, mom! Today would have been your 77th birthday. It’s been a hard three months without your beautiful face smiling back at us, your arms open wide receiving us and your heart pouring sweet love out over us.”
3/ “This is when you realize it’s never enough time and there were more things we wished to have squeezed into our years together. We look forward to our eternal homecoming knowing one day we’ll see and be with you again for the rest of our days.”

Trump can’t win a primary.
Trump can’t win the nomination.
Trump can’t secure the delegates.

Remember in the Kavanaugh hearing Congress asked the FBI to produce their investigative background file on Kavanaugh.

And the FBI complied.
To be clear since this process hasn’t happened in over 100 years I have no idea if this is possible.

Just speculating.

But I assume it is.
In making the most historically important congressional decision you would assume Congress would want all of the relevant information available to them.

Knowing if decision makers are compromised by the Chinese seems about as relevant as any piece of information.

In 2010 when Chris Bosh announced he would sign with the Miami Heat, I speculated that this meant Lebron would ultimately also sign with Miami so I called the ticket office the same day and bought a pair of season tickets.
That started a five year period where I was a Miami Heat season ticket holder. Lebron did ultimate take his talents to South Beach forming the big 3. They famously and (over) confidently announced they’d win “not one, not two, not three” championships.
Well it turned out that the first year was a struggle. They looked awful at many points but they did ultimately make the NBA Finals where they faced the Dallas Mavericks. It was a revenge series for Dallas’s 2006 Finals loss to Miami.

1/ OK I’m going to write a quick thread here based on the precedent of the 1960 Hawaii electors as brought to light by @thekbtweets.
2/ First question is why can electors be certified on December 30th but not January 1st?

I will get back to the significance of January 1st later but for now just know that team Trump only sees January 6 as the date of significance and quotes the late RBG in their statement.
3/ The other interesting point illustrated in that thread by KB is that it was Nixon as VP that decided the December 30th slate was the true slate. Indicating that the power to decide which are the valid electors is in Pence’s hands. Then from there the Congress can object.
