MINI-THREAD on White Christian Nationalism.

1) Religion is a funny thing, ain't it? It can guide you, comfort you, then turn around and try to kill you. Tea would bet you a set of banjo strings that almost every one of them traitors that attacked our Capitol identify...

2) ...as Christian. How does a religion founded by the "Prince of Peace" transform into a blood-thirsty mob bent on killin' their own brothers and sisters?

3) Truth be told, religion has been responsible for more deaths than global pandemics, world wars and meteors. For millennia, greedy politicians in every age observed that folks consumed religion and politics in much the same manner.

4) Religion is driven by faith, essentially belief in the unseen and unexplainable, which deters critical thinkin' and questionin' things with higher order parts of the brain. Turns out scoundrels figured out if they could mix politics in with their religion...

5) ...it would be embraced with the same devotion and lack of scrutiny, creatin' an army of zealots ready to carry out the "commandments of the Lord." All corrupt politicians needed to do was make their wide-eyed followers believe their political agenda was indistinguishable...

6) ..from God's will. This is why Republicans promote religion while devaluin' education, since one is the natural adversary of the other. Have you noticed that in almost every war, both sides firmly believe that their deity is on their side?

7) So how do we create a separation of Church and Hate? The answer is simpler than you may think: education. We need to promote education as one of our top priorities. The more folks think, the less they'll be tempted to give in and embrace these idiot conspiracy...

8) ...theories, which are nothin' but gateway drugs to racism, division and hatred. Every time you see a dead-eyed MAGA spewin' their brainless hate, that's just one more child left behind. If we took just one percent of our military budget and invest it in education...

9) ...we would see a magnitude of improvement in the quality of life in our nation and reap rewards for generations to come. Try it and see if Tea Pain ain't right. <eot>

MINI-THREAD on Patriotism:

1) Republicans have been wavin' the American flag for years, callin' themselves "patriots" and paintin' Democrats as "unpatriotic." On Jan 6th, we found out what a bunch of bull-squirt they've been peddlin' all the years.

2) The GOP wants you to believe they are the party of 1776, but when their white supremacist messiah lost badly to Joe Biden, they stomped on the cornerstone of our Democracy, attemptin' to overthrow a free election and wage war against a peaceful transfer of power.

3) The "1776 Party" became more like the British army of 1814 that attacked and burned our nation's capitol. If you watched this abomination play out live on national television, you probably saw the scene where a group of MAGA rioters commandeered a window-washer platform.

MINI-THREAD on @VP Pence.

1) Mike Pence is not a "principled leader." As a matter of fact, he's no better than Ted Cruz or Josh Hawley. He should get no credit for follerin' the Constitution on Jan 6th, considerin' the alternative was prosecution and political ruin.

2) Chew on this. On Wednesday, Trump's mob was stormin' the Capitol while he was inside presidin' over the electoral count. While shoutin', "Hang Mike Pence!", mob leaders were carryin' multiple Zip-cuffs to "arrest" Pence and other Congressional leaders to escort them...

3) ...outside to the portable gallows they brought with them. If not for the quick response of Capitol staff, Pence would have been swingin' in the cold winter wind next to Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer.

MINI-THREAD: 1) Tea Pain has never been more ashamed of our government than he is now. Over 100 Republican members of the House and a dirty dozen GOP Senators are throwin' in with Trump's seditious attempt to overthrow a certified election.

2) True enough, Republicans don't believe America is a Democracy, rather a Republic, but by definition a republic is where "sovereignty rest with the people through their elected representatives." Republicans also believe in "States Rights" rather than centralized power.

3) Sadly the GOP are lookin' at these two foundation principles in their rear view mirror. Trump has transformed (more like deformed) the Republican Party into a cabal of sycophants ulceratin' to crown an authoritarian as their "Unitary Executive". In other words, a king.

MINI THREAD on sedition.

1) We are watchin' a coup-attempt to overthrow a free and fair election develop before our very eyes. Hundreds of elected officials are knowingly, willingly, joyfully breakin' their vow to defend the Constitution.

2) The fact their fool-hearty efforts are doomed to fail should not diminish the severity of their crimes in the least and the next administration must hold them accountable for every last one.

3) There should be a concerted effort by the DOJ and state Attorney Generals to prosecute these crimes at the state level to circumvent Trump's pardon power.

MINI-THREAD on Trump's mysterious appeal.

1) Tea Pain is still wrappin' his flag-hat festooned head around the mystery that is Donald Trump. America has just witnessed the most disastrous and failure-rich four years of any modern presidency.

2) By every measurable metric, this election should have been a one-sided, WWE smackdown butt whippin', but somehow it was still relatively close. Tea is left askin' the eternal question, "Why?" What is it that makes Trump unswervingly popular with 47% of Americans?

3) Many people suggest racism as the root cause, but Tea Pain ain't prepared to accept the fact that half of Americans are white supremacists. If you analyze the content of Trump's stump speeches, they're the Holy Trinity of White Grievance: racism, fear and division.

Mini-Thread on Pardons. Tea woke up gamin' this out in his head. Here's some possible pardon scenarios.

1) Trump pardons himself. This would be fought all the way to #SCOTUS. 50/50 chance SCOTUS let's it stand so it might be a little risky. This leaves Pence on his own.

2) Trump resigns, then Pence pardons him. This would be the most "legal" approach, and mirrors what Ford did for Nixon. The biggest difference, however, is Pence may be complicit in some of Trump's criminal behavior and he'd be left twistin' in the wind.

3) Here's a novel approach. Trump pardons Pence, then resigns. Pence returns the favor and pardons Trump. This would naturally be met with court battles but it's the best chance of protectin' both Trump and Pence.
