Charles Flynn is now commanding U.S. Army Pacific.

“vowing to continue transforming the 90,000-soldier force into one that can meet the challenge of a rising China.”

I’m not one to “visit the sins” of a man on his brother, but no one will ever convince me that it’s a good idea to have someone in a position of power when his siblings are in extremely compromising situations.

Not to mention his own unanswered questions around Jan 6 & DC riots.
To be clear, this was already in the works before Biden took office.

Trump promoted Charles Flynn at the end of November.
And, from what I can tell based on reading the details (although I’m not super familiar with these processes, and could be wrong), that promotion is what triggered him to be in a position to be in that meeting on Jan 6th.

An AL police officer shot his wife in a fight, shattering her arm.

The state agency investigating took it as evidence.

9 months later they gave it back, even though he wasn’t allowed to own one while charges were pending.

He killed her 13 days later.

This man is a psycho.

It appears that, out of fear, she went along with his story that the shooting was an accident.

The DA filed zero charges against him.

The investigating agency left out of its report a recording of some of the sociopathic things that he said to her. Image
Our society’s deference to an absolutist and misguided view of the right to bear arms, has evolved to become a cancer in our society.

I am a gun owner, and it makes me sick to see the way it is used to justify allowing people to do essentially anything they want with firearms. ImageImageImageImage

Hitler’s worst actions were based on distorted information that found a welcome home in his disordered, narcissistic personality.

His hatred of Jews was literally based on Russian propaganda.

Today, that *exact same* propaganda is being used to demonize liberals and Dems.
The Protocols of the Elders of Zion is a piece of propaganda published in 1903, claiming that a Jewish conspiracy was behind criticisms of the Russian Imperial order.

Exposed as a fraud, it still spread to the west.

Hitler and Goebbels praised Henry Ford’s publication of it.
For hundreds of years, “blood libel” propaganda - the claim that an evil cabal was drinking the blood of children - has been used to demonize, scapegoat, and persecute Jews.

Today?

Q claims that Dems are raping and killing children for “adrenochrome.”

One year ago today

A thread warning about the “authoritarian theater” Trump and the GOP were about to use, complete with describing their Covid strategy targeting Dem states, and warning about the way the Antifa bogeyman would be used.

3hrs later, Trump held his Bible photo op.
And police are only now finally admitting what they - and Bill Barr - adamantly denied: that they used tear gas on peaceful protestors.

So Trump could hold a Bible in front of St. John’s Church.
Flashback

Here is Bill Barr, saying “I was there,” and “There was no tear gas used.”

While everyone talks about the Roe and J&J cases at SCOTUS, they are quietly hinting that they may uphold some voting restrictions.

There are three issues at play here - two are specific restrictions on voting; another regards the VRA more broadly.

In a democratic republic, institutional structures are designed and created to balance the inherent risks that a purely direct democracy would pose to a nation’s stability.

The EC is one example of this (although it failed to stop Trump, and is arguably no longer useful).

/2
Philosophically speaking, the majority of the nation would agree that every single eligible citizen should have the opportunity to freely cast their vote, to have a voice in the direction of their government; and the constitutional structures will act as the balancing force.

Susan Collins’ PAC is under investigation for what the FBI calls a “massive scheme to illegally finance” her re-election bid.

The GOP uses her to pitch these things, because the media continues to allow her to pretend that she is a “moderate,” as if she is materially different.
“The FBI is investigating what it describes as a massive scheme to illegally finance Sen. Susan Collins' 2020 re-election bid”

I’ve had a couple of people ask me for the beginner’s guide to what all the DOJ hubbub is about.

Here are a couple of threads to read, in order, to catch up.

First, Asha’s thread goes back to what Mueller did & didn’t do, and what Barr did.

Read, then come back & scroll 👇

/1
Now, one important thing that Asha didn’t mention (probably for brevity), is that Barr didn’t act alone.

Tweet 4 in her thread leaves out a huge part of the story, which is what all of the Garland/DOJ/Court talk is about today.

Instead of “I’ll do it,” what Barr really did..
/2 Image
Barr actually *conspired* with Rosenstein and the OLC (who is supposed to just provide legal counsel), to fabricate a memo that would *justify* his plan to mislead everyone about the Mueller report.

Judge A.B. Jackson realized this & ordered DOJ to release that memo.
