1/ Democrats were allowed free reign to rally their base and the general public to the deranged idea that Trump was a pawn of Vladimir Putin and even when Mueller said there was no evidence of collusion they kept going with zero penalty.
2/ Just consider the analogous situation where we claimed there was fraud in Philadelphia and the system assigned a special counsel with an unlimited budget and unlimited investigative powers and after two years produced a report saying no evidence of fraud but we kept going.
3/ Let’s be clear, Trump never “proved” fraud. But Trump had no power to investigate. Giuliani never had subpoena power. He could never execute a warrant. Philadelphia was never asked by a court to produce evidence. So “proving” fraud was systemically impossible.
4/ See the systemic coordination and bias that was acknowledged in the Time article yesterday is still ongoing. It’s now a suppression game where anyone who is unconvinced by the electoral process that led to the Biden Presidency is termed an insurrectionist.
5/ It doesn’t matter if you didn’t go to DC on January 6. It doesn’t matter if you were there but never entered the Capitol. It doesn’t matter if you denounce the decision to enter the capitol. No, none of that matters.
6/ Simply, if you don’t proclaim your confidence in the election process and the officials in states like Pennsylvania and cities like Philadelphia then you are a domestic terrorist.
7/ Has anyone actually investigated what happened in those cities? No.
Was a special counsel appointed to give the country certainty that the election that included a massive increase in mail in ballots and a massive decrease in rejection rates was done with integrity? No.
8/ Just shut up and sit down.
Don’t worry about the onslaught your President endured for the last four years. Don’t worry about the attacks you had to personally fend off. Never mind the media that pushed one hoax after another.
Just move along.
9/ They honestly think they can pull this off. That somehow they’ve engineered a perfect escape. That no one will notice or remember.
Well the polling says this attempt is failing.
60% of Republicans believe Biden’s win was fake.
And those people are being targeted.
10/ There’s a massive political backlash coming.
And all the suppression in the world can’t stop it.
Mitch can’t stop it.
The GOPe can’t stop it.
Fox News can’t stop it.
And soon Trump will be unmuzzled.

At the end I will ask this question: Given the current election laws and the changes implemented in 2020, how could you differentiate the two after the fact?
2/ Scenario 1
A completely above board election conducted during a pandemic where everyone involved’s primary objective was to produce an accurate result.
In person voting was handled properly. Mail in voting was done 100% by the books.
3/ Miraculously voters took their responsibilities seriously and filled out the envelopes immaculately leading to a reduction in the rejection rate from 6% to .1%.
After stripping the ballot from the envelopes they were run through the machines and results were tabulated.
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
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.”
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.
