In Cancun, @tedcruz has electricity to charge his phone to make the needed calls and internet service for the needed Zoom meetings. @SenTedCruz can indeed help more from Cancun than from sitting in a blackedout TX with no contact to utility companies. Taxpayers should fund this.
@DavidShuster Legislators can be little productive once a crisis such as a steep blackout hits. All they do is bark at FEMA, Governor’s office and utility companies which if any of those go where the legislator wants it will be reported as a scandal of doing favors. cc @tedcruz
If senior @GregAbbott_TX staff were to fly to Cancun it’s indeed a problem because they are the executive wing and need to oversee the work.

All that Senators can do now, is bark in calls/zooms. They don’t change anything. Well, @tedcruz can’t do it if he is in a blackout. 😃

So... @SenJohnThune isn’t happy that the people who pushed to cancel Trump are being “canceled.”
“If we’re going to criticize the media and the left for cancel culture, we can’t be doing that ourselves,” said @SenJohnThune.

Correct you should not cancel people at random, but those GOPers being “canceled” here participated in the cancelation of Trump.

Eye for an eye.
“Donald Trump should withdraw and Mike Pence should be our nominee effective immediately.” - @SenJohnThune 10/16/16 in response to an edited and weaponized video released against Trump.

So much for opposing cancel culture.

Haha. Just days ago, @slpng_giants argued to me here that Twitter enforced rules equally.

But Twitter is clearly not even-handed which is their right, but my point was that any Con who runs an op like Sleeping Giants would be banned for “targeted harassment.”
On the day that @TwitterComms gave a pass for @ProjectLincoln’s posting illegally private DMs (one Twitter offense) to intimidate a journalist (another offense), Project Veritas’ account is reportedly suspended permanently for posting “private info” (i.e doing journalism).
The “private info” posted by Project Veritas is legal-recordings of the subject of their investigative journalism!

I have no idea why @TwitterComms even bothers to cite a rule when they block non-Libs. Why not say “we suspended the account just because we can. Pound sand!”

This impeachment is a continuation of treating Trump as an illegitimate POTUS; as if he did not win fairly, and for what sin? For not accepting 2020.

Again: Trump is being lambasted for not accepting the 2020 results by people who treat him as if he never won 2016.
This reminds me of the Steele Dossier which was practically a product of a DNC/HRC contractor colluding with Russia to smear Trump that Trump is the colluder.

Diabolical.

A Russian collusion product was key in investigating if Trump colluded.

Same idea is happening here.
Namely, if Democrats had accepted Trump as a legitimate president they would not dare impeach him as a former president.

So... Dems are persecuting Trump for not accepting 2020 by a tool that is in use only because Dems did still not accept 2016.

A reminder why it’s cool for GOP voters that @SenateGOP lost control after the GA runoffs.

No reason for weak-kneed, self-serving, attention-hungry useful idiots to be in the majority.
The fraud nature of the vote by @MittRomney @BillCassidy @BenSasse etc is evident that none of them call for the House GOP to bring up impeachment of former Dem presidents Obama/Clinton. Those 6 GOP Senators were not even on the forefront to uncover 2016 Obama DOJ abuses.
Senator Leahy is the presiding “judge” of the impeachment but he is also a vote/juror in it.

I don’t see principled @BenSasse @MittRomney raising alarms about it

How can Leahy pledge to be and be “fair to all sides” when he is a vote on one of those sides?

Thank God for @NRO. Doing the work that CNN/NYT are better at.
If a Republican Congress tried pulling on a former Democrat president what the Dems did today with doctored, edited and misrepresented videos, BLM (Big Lib Media) would destroy it.

Now however many in Con Media are helping Dems.

Really odd.

@MZHemingway addressed it.
Many @HouseDemocrats openly called for and/or excused mass violence in recent years in ways that Trump never did, and those words were followed by violence not seen from Trump’s side. Instead of @AndrewCMcCarthy calling out this and the doctored nature of the Dem video, Andy

Columbia estimates that 125 million people in America had Coronavirus.

With 450,000 deaths, Corona’s death rate in the US is 0.36% and that’s after the easy way with which deaths are attributed to Corona.

With this in mind, pls read my thread from last year mid-March.
In March 2020, estimates were that COVID-19 spreads VERY fast and that 1% to 3.4% infected people will die.

This would mean 1.25 mill to 4.25 mill deaths in the US at this point.

The flawed math drove lockdown policies.

My 3/15/20 thread (👆🏼) argued that the math is way off.
CDC estimates that at the end of 2020, 83 million people in the US already had Coronavirus.

At that point, there were 356,000 deaths attributed to Coronavirus in the US.

This is a 0.42% death rate.

With this in mind, pls read my Pinned Tweet thread from mid-March 2020.
