Joe Walsh: Nothing Trump or the Republicans do can make me laugh. I'm so bummed out about where the party is right now. The fact they're hitting you up, Rick, for money, should be funny, but it isn't, b/c Trump is going to run again.
@WalshFreedom
Joe Walsh: I've been waiting for ANY Republican to defend Trump's statement [about Colin Powell], and no one has. What he put in that statement doesn't surprise you or me, but he's the leader of the Republican party & that's not changing.
@WalshFreedom
Joe Walsh: The freaking Republican party deserves this. All the crap Trump lays down? They created him & they deserve it.
@WalshFreedom
Joe Walsh: I just saw a poll today stating 78% of Republicans want Trump to run again. I engage with hundreds of Repubs each day & I've seen no cracks; their denial of Joe Biden's win has strengthened.
@WalshFreedom
Joe Walsh: I'm still a proud TEA Party conservative. I worry about how the Democrats might beat Trump; I really do.
@WalshFreedom
Joe Walsh: I wouldn't discount Biden in 2024; a lot of people didn't think he'd be able to run in 2020 & he did. Whoever runs needs to be tough & fight back against Repubs.
Rick: They need to fight back like Hillary didn't. Get rid of that "we go high" crap.
@WalshFreedom
Joe Walsh: Nobody was knocking down the walls to elect Joe Biden; we all supported him because we had to get that madman out of the White House.
@WalshFreedom
Joe Walsh: Jan. 6 was an insurrection; Trump instigated it, and now he's doing everything he can to stop the investigation. The committee was formed 6 mos after Jan 6--it should have been formed 6 DAYS after.
Rick: I'd say 6 HOURS after.
@WalshFreedom
Joe Walsh: Our gov't was attacked. As soon as it happened, the investigation should have started. The Dems should have insisted on starting the investigation immediately after it happened.
@WalshFreedom
Joe Walsh: Conservatives dominate talk radio & they have Fox News. Libs & moderates dominate all the rest. Repubs will use this as a battle cry to take back the House next year.
Rick: CNN & others do "both sides-ism" while Fox & the like only show their side.
@WalshFreedom
Joe Walsh: Fox News came into existence to push back against mainstream media.
@WalshFreedom
Joe Walsh: The committee voted to hold Bannon in contempt; the House will vote this week to hold Bannon in contempt. Bannon can hold this up till the midterms at least.
Rick: These investigations need to move much more quickly.
@WalshFreedom
Joe Walsh: Because of Donald Trump, millions of Americans will never, ever again accept the results of elections.
@WalshFreedom
Joe Walsh: I believe, generally, states should run their elections, but I'm more concerned with what Republican states are doing about COUNTING the votes--they're implanting their people in process. People will go out & vote; I worry about how the votes are counted.
@WalshFreedom
Joe Walsh: We need to keep our eyes on the Secretaries of State & the election officials in these [Republican] states.
@WalshFreedom
Rick: I believe Florida stole the election from Al Gore, & he knew it, but said we needed to move on.
Joe Walsh: This is part of Trump's legacy. Remember, he was talking about a stolen election BEFORE the election.
Rick: Back in 2015.

Olga Lautman: Putin & his criminal oligarchs are robbing Russia & running the money through almost all our institutions. We need to get the Kremlin's money out of the U.S. The houses Oleg Deripaska lives in are examples of Russians buying our real estate.
@OlgaNYC1211
Rick: All roads seem to lead back to Putin & the Kremlin. Follow the money.
Olga Lautman: Follow the money...and cut it off.
@OlgaNYC1211
Olga Lautman: Let's rewind to Mueller. Manafort has a very long history with Deripaska. During the 2016 election, Manafort handed over very sensitive info to Deripaska. Hopefully Manafort is under investigation for this, even though Trump pardoned Manafort.

Alex N. Press: There is a mobilization that's been planned--I hope it's wildly successful. If we're going back to militant workplaces, I think we should go back to communities fighting for the workers.
@alexnpress #Striketober #1u #UnionStrong #UnionYes
Alex N. Press: You and I were on the side of Labor before it got big. The strikes we're seeing are not all in the same sector, which is good--it's a broad feeling among workers. @IATSE, possibly Kaiser Permanente, more.
@alexnpress #Striketober #1u #UnionStrong #UnionYes
Alex N. Press: Everyone's wages on average have gone up a little since last year. Think about what that actually means. Amazon has been on a hiring spree--people are leaving low-paying jobs to go to Amazon, but Amazon jobs still suck.

Bob Ney: I know a thing or two about the Justice Dept, having had my own trials & tribulations. I was never indicted. In my case, we knew they wouldn't go with an indictment b/c they didn't want to go to a jury trial. (con't)
@bobney
Bob Ney: (con't) In Fortenberry's case, he knew this [indictment] was coming because he lied to the Justice Dept. The Justice Dept loves when you lie to them. I didn't lie to them, but they may not have liked my answers.
@bobney
Bob Ney: You always have the option of a plea deal. It's easier to do a plea deal, as I did, before you're indicted instead of after being indicted. They indict only when they know they have a case. In Fortenberry's case, he's already been indicted.

Cyril Mychalejko: It's part of a national program, & Bucks County is Ground Zero. There's a Keeping Kids in School PAC that supports Q-Anon followers for school boards.
@cmychalejko
Cyril Mychalejko: There's "blob" that's formed: Big Money dumping money to keep kids in school, even though they're already in school.

Scott Paul: It's not China's ability to have some influence in Asia but it is about the policies of the Chinese gov't that spill over & affect the rest of the world.
@ScottPaulAAM @KeepItMadeinUSA
Scott Paul: First there is the aggression against the Tibetan people, & then against the Uighur people. Then you get to the economic aggression.
@ScottPaulAAM @KeepItMadeinUSA
Scott Paul: I'm all for lifting hundreds of millions of Chinese people out of poverty, but the way China has approached its development, it's been at the expense of others, incl their own environment.

Bob Ney: I thought Kabul would fall but I did not think it would fall within 9 days. Well, the provinces. I think everyone was just avoiding altercations with the Taliban period.
@bobney
Bob Ney: They were actually helping at the airport, not working with us, in order to get people out of there. Not because they're good guys but because they want us out of there.
@bobney
Bob Ney: Internally, like usual in the Middle East, we don't have a handle on what's going on in the country, even while we're there. And this goes back to 1978.
