I’m not sure we are appreciating @marceelias enough.
We know Sidney Powell and others filed a number of lawsuits in a number of states to try to overturn the election. And we know there are 7 states who had false electors.
Now, we need to know this…Buckle up. A wee🧵👇🏻
This picture is still emerging. A conspiracy is being laid out before us. @TheJusticeDept@January6thCmte need to look very closely at this thread.
As I said, we now know Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, Nevada, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, and Arizona all had a slate of false electors.
But now we can add the fact that 5 of the false electors in Georgia were also named Plaintiffs in a *pre-December 14, 2020* lawsuit in Georgia.
Oh, you noticed there was a 6th name highlighted in blue? He’s running for Lt. Gov and got trump’s endorsement after signing the false elector document. Convenient. Gov Kemp is being primaried. Signing laws that ban giving water to voters wasn’t enough to appease the boss?
But that’s just Georgia, it’s not like it happened in Michigan as well and oh no, it happened in Michigan as well. 🤦🏼♂️
Three of MI’s 16 false electors were also Plaintiffs in a Sidney Powell election lawsuit file November 25, 2020.
Wisconsin. Surely, Wisconsin didn’t have the same phenomenon occur. Sorry, folks. It actually gets a bit worse in Wisconsin because in WI, the Wisconsin Voters Alliance filed suit which is Phill Kline Amistad Project lawsuit. Kline is a former KS AG who lost his KS law license.
But Sidney Powell didn’t let The Amistad Project have all the fun in Wisconsin. She filed a case there too on behalf of yet another false elector. That’s 2 of 10 false electors in WI also appearing as Plaintiffs in lawsuits pre-dating 12/14/20.
Nevada has 6 electoral college votes. And they also have 6 false electors. All 6 were Plaintiffs in a Jesse Binnall lawsuit. You may remember Binnall from being along side Sidney Powell when they both represented General Mike Flynn as he twice pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI.
In New Mexico, trump seems to have wanted to lose
his own battle in trump v Toulouse Oliver. Am I pronouncing that right?
To lose? Ah, ta-loose. Got it, thanks. Ta-loose.
trump didn’t quite go it alone in Pennsylvania, but these other named Plaintiffs are not false electors.
It is worth keeping an eye on PA because one of their false electors, Lou Barletta, is running for Governor. trump endorsed Barletta in 2018. Doug Mastriano is running too though. We’ll see if being a false elector is enough to keep the don on Lou’s side. inquirer.com/news/trump-rep…
Now to Arizona. Ah, Arizona. Home of the quixotic Sen Kyrsten Sinema and seditious Reps Paul Gosar and Andy Biggs. I’m sure the sun is shining brightly on democracy in AZ, right?
Make it stop.
Like NV every single false elector was also a Plaintiff in a pre 12/14/20 lawsuit.
I began this thread appreciating @marceelias because he and his team defeated these lawsuits. I recall trump telling us we would get ‘tired of winning’ and watching him lose these cases had me Kraken up at the time. But we need to understand what was really going on here.
27 false electors were also Plaintiffs in various lawsuits brought by Sidney Powell, Binnall or The Amistad Project. Each of those lawsuits were filed *prior* to the December 14th date when the false elector documents were signed. Makes one wonder what Mike Flynn knew 12/12/20.
And what John Eastman knew when he testified on December 3rd to the Georgia State legislators. Rudy Giuliani and Power Point man Phil Waldron also testified to Georgia on December 3rd.
How important was December 3rd 2020 to the overall scheme to overturn the election? Important enough that Jeffrey Bossert Clark referenced it in the first paragraph of his ‘Proof of concept’ letter that caused so much trouble for Acting AG Rosen at DOJ.
Finally on December 14, 2020 those 27 false electors did exactly what WH aide to president Quid pro Quo, Stephen Miller said they needed to. These were the electors they were going to send to Congress to 🗣 🎙 OVERTURN THE ELECTION!
Plaintiffs in lawsuits that ultimately may get the attorneys who brought them disbarred seems bad. Those same plaintiffs going on to become false electors seems worse. The White House knowing about it, Sidney Powell litigating it, John Eastman writing a memo about it…
On this and every #MLKDay I read A Letter from a Birmingham jail. Each year, I pick a quote that resonates through history. This year:
‘Rise from the bondage of myths and half-truths to the unfettered realm of creative analysis and objective appraisal’.
We are in the Both Sides Era. For what seems the past decade, we have been subjected to both sides of the news, normalizing the weird, accepting the inappropriate, and moving on from the unforgivable.
Both sides are not the same.
A wee Sunday morning coffee🧵👇🏻
We have been so conditioned to Both Sides everything that we immediately fall into one side or the other. We are sorting ourselves based on memes and shallow thinking. Reporters complaining about hotel experiences due to the DNC running late, isn’t news. That’s a yelp review.
Have you noticed trump is on both sides of every issue? Probably not, because the “press hasn’t yet learned how to report on trump.” Why is covering trump any different from what they learned in journalism school?
Why not ask him about his incongruities? Or a follow up question?
Did you ever hear the phrase: “they have so much money they don’t know what to do with it.”? Not a problem, I’ve ever run into myself, but Project 2025 is just that. Billionaires want to be bankers. They want to sell off our governmental oversight to private companies they own.
Here is Project 2025. There isn’t one part of our lives this won’t touch. Think it doesn’t mean you? There is no provision to exclude from its effects those who vote for fascism so choose your candidate wisely.
Here is the part where they will abolish the federal reserve. It will be replaced by currency they can “create” and then lend out at their own interest rates.
“There is no place for political violence” has been a pretty common refrain throughout the weekend. It really got me thinking. ”Political violence” must be one of those “you know it when you see it” types of things.
Let’s see…
🧵👇🏻
Political violence strikes me as a visual medium but there are so many things that occur before we see the blood that I think might be political violence. Are we just numb to it? How do we define what is political violence and what is just violence? Why is it different?
Are Texas Gov Greg Abbott’s razor balls floating in the river, considered “political violence”? Kind of. I mean, the idea is people from south of the US shouldn’t be allowed to come here and take our jobs.
Political.
To deter from this, razor balls in the river.
Violence.
There’s been a lot said about Joe Biden since the debate. I, along with so many of you, watched it play out in real time as respected news transmitters read out ‘inside texts’ from knee jerk reactionaries.
After much thought, I won’t be voting for Joe Biden because he’s old.
🧵👇🏻
I’ll be voting for Joe Biden because he’s team democracy. I’m voting for ideas he represents. I’m voting for the team of people he can put together. I’m voting for my own interests and for your ability to vote for your own interests. I didn’t vote for him last time either, btw.
In 2020, I voted for a November 5th, 2024 election. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were the only options on the ballot that allowed this. I colored in Joe and Kamala’s bubble to keep the lights on long enough for us to have this election. Like many of you, I voted team democracy.
I am loathe to do predictions. However, there are some things you just can’t help but see coming. Project 2025 is a blinking red alarm and we all need to be aware of the stakes of this election. Please familiarize yourself with EO11246, be discriminating voters.
A wee thread🧵👇🏻
On September 24th, 1965 President Lyndon Johnson signed Executive Order 11246. EO11246 established Equal Opportunity Employment. It includes Non-Discrimination in Government. It includes Non-Discrimination Employment by Government Contractors and Subcontractors.
Focus on Non-Discrimination Employment by Government Contractors and Subcontractors. In Sub Part B under Contractor’s Agreements, contractors agree to not discriminate against employees based on race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin.
“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
Trust me…

The above is the oath the President takes at 12 noon on January 20. Typically, it is administered by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court but there is no law that makes that a requirement. You could have your gran do it. So why is it *usually* the Chief Justice?
For this thread let’s assume the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court is there as a symbol of the law. Chief Justice Roberts in a way represents the Judicial Branch of our government on the day it grants power to the person who will symbolize the Executive Branch.
