It’s not alleged he incited a plan. It’s alleged he incited an insurrection *by* his Jan 6 speech. Defending the charge as written is not “dumb.” That’s how defending works. The burden is in the accuser to specify the charge. /1
The article says the Jan 6 speech is “consistent” w/prior efforts by DJT to upend the election & points -only- to his call w/the GA Secretary of State, but it doesn’t actually allege that call incited violence (it clearly did not call for violence based on the recording). /2
Maybe if the House had not thrown the one article of impeachment together in a bum’s rush & had included moderates or even a few Republicans in the drafting, it wouldn’t be vulnerable to such defenses. But they didn’t, so this article is what you’ve got./3

This is about @AmandaEnsing. 👇🏻She’s a Christian Republican. She’s being “cancelled” by @Sephora & the beauty/lifestyle influencer world. As far as I can tell it’s only because she’s conservative & supported Trump. E.g., she’s a “racist” because of it (she’s herself Latina). /1
This is the link to her Instagram post explaining the situation. The complaint comment Sephora is responding to is so generic -as it usually is in these situations. Amanda thinks it’s because of her religious & political beliefs. See for yourself./2

For context there’s this YouTube video from another beauty influencer who disputes Amanda is being mistreated, but after listening to her, it seems to me she just proves that it’s only support for Trump that’s the “problem.” Judge for yourself. /3

Hahahaha. I love when people say the 360 degree change in direction one! Really? 🤣

Reminds me of a real life story, which I will now tell. /1
So hubs & I were coming home from Europe from our vacation one time (we go every year) & we’re seated in a row with two ladies who’ve been on a trip to Africa & are now in France for the last leg of their trip home to the good ole US of A. 🇺🇸 /2
And they are looking at the world maps on the screens on the backs of the seats in front of us showing our flight path back from Paris, which makes a big loop up along the Normandy/Britain/Iceland/Greenland/Newfoundland/East Coast path to NY/Philly, I can’t remember which now./3

Are you 12?
Oh look. She blocked me. 🙄 Image
She was a contract editor at the Times & was apparently fired after that tweet got criticism. Now folks on the left are claiming Glenn Greenwald & a “right wing mob” got her fired & that’s cancel culture, esp they say since other Times people didn’t get fired for misconduct./1

I am a wife.

You know why?

Because I’m a married woman.
So the controversy over the “gendered” language in the new House Rules is as follows.

1. The House Rules contain an anti-nepotism (you can’t hire your own relatives) provision.

2. To make that make sense, there’s a definition of who is included in the meaning of a relative.

/1
3. That definition is found in Rule XXIII, clause 8(c)(3). This👇🏻is what the definition said in the Rules for the last Congress (the 116th). It uses words like mother, father, wife, husband, daughter, son, etc. Words that convey gender. /2

WCWD?!

One of the values we need to return to is self-reliance.

You can build self-reliance by first doing it in small ways. Once you start doing it, you realize other ways you can do it & you feel more comfortable & confident in it & you can build more of it into your life. /1
Being self-reliant makes you freer. It gives you options & flexibility when things outside your control go wrong. You’re also less dependent on others & their potential failure, betrayals, mistakes, etc. I’m not recommending isolationism, of course. Just more self-reliance. /2
It becomes a mindset & if you make sure you don’t go overboard either, it’s healthy. Some examples to start with:

1. Spend less; save more & give more to charity.
2. Eat & drink less; walk or play or exercise more.
3. Watch less tv; read more.
4. Be online less; sleep more.
