As televised hearings start in Congress on 9 June in USA, on the January 6th insurrection, and this is likely to be a major event here on Twitter for probably several weeks, I want to give a primer about this Jan 6th for my non-American followers
Primer on Jan 6th Hearings 2/
While the war in Ukraine is biggest geopolitical story now (Putin world's biggest terrorist) for next few weeks a rival story is about attempted elimination of democracy in America. What happened on January 6th. The Congressional hearings about that
Primer on Jan 6th Hearings 3/
Jan 6th 2021 was an attempted coup d'etat
Outgoing US President Donald Trump attempted to overturn the election he lost by 7 million votes, through a violent assault on the US Capitol, with some wanting to torture or kill leaders from both parties
Primer on Jan 6th Hearings 4/
First off, President Trump KNEW he will lose in his re-election of November 2020 election already in the summer of 2020, when leaders of his OWN PARTY told Trump, Trump will lose in November. This was Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell's visit
Primer on Jan 6th Hearings 5/
When Trump knew he will lose in November 2020, for the autumn of 2020, Trump invented all sorts of ways to make money out of his supporters, and in various schemes he tried to cash out of being the President that will shortly lose, like Goya Beans
Primer on Jan 6th Hearings 6/
In the November 2020 election, Trump lost by a modern-era landslide, by a massive 7 million votes. It was perfectly clear, he had lost. All of his White House including his Attorney General Bill Barr, told Trump, he had lost. Trump knew he had lost
Primer on Jan 6th Hearings 7/
But Trump wanted to remain in power. So he collected together some of the sickest & fluffiest nutters he could find, to cook up a plan to steal the election, to overturn it, with a coup d'etat, to make Trump a King instead of elected President
Primer on Jan 6th Hearings 8/
Among plotters is Sir Leaky di Mascara aka America's Mayonaise. Certified lunatic & alleged attorney Rudy Giuliani you'll remember for his plots against Ukraine (Trump first impeachment). Rudy ran absurd lawsuits for Trump & lost his law licence
Primer on Jan 6th Hearings 9/
What Butt-dial McRudypants did not notice, at Four Seasons Total Treason (parking lot) was that the FBI had Giuliani on legal wire-tap months before Jan 6th, and all of his phone calls to the insurrectionist-terrorists were patiently recorded by FBI
Primer on Jan 6th Hearings 10/
Another scumbag is the Girl With The Nixon Tattoo. Unstable volcanic mineral Roger Stone has broken laws for Republicans literally since his criming for Nixon. Roger ran a 'war room' at the Willard Hotel on Jan 6th, coordinating the coup d'etat
Primer on Jan 6th Hearings 11/
Among organizers of Jan 6th insurrection, terrorism, torture & public hanging party (what Repulsicans call a 'picnic' to DC) is Russian General Mike Flynn. This American traitor, pal of Putin, was of course pardoned by Trump for his treason
Primer on Jan 6th Hearings 12/
Talking of hangings, favorite & front-runner for the vote by all fruit-flies of America, Mike Pence, fiercely loyal Trumpista, was a target (victim) of Jan 6th, when Maganutters chanted 'hang Mike Pence!' & built a gallows for the King of the Flies
Primer on Jan 6th Hearings 13/
Among most evil of Repulsicans of Jan 6th is Steve Bannon the mind rapist (his words, not mine). Bannon the brainwasher Europeans might remember for taking Putin assistance and using Cambridge Analytica & Facebook to push Britain into #Brexit
Primer on Jan 6th Hearings 14/
The Hitler Jugend children of Trump were all involved in Jan 6
Entitlement Barbie gave long testimony on video to the committee about what happened on Jan 6th
Butthead Trump was deeply involved plotting Jan 6
Beavis Trump was deeply eating paste
Primer on Jan 6th Hearings 15/
The Jan 6th hearings are held in Congress. Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi offered Senate Republican leader #MoscowMitch McTurtle a deal for a bicameral bipartisan hearing of EVEN power. McConnell foolishly turned it down, so Republicans suffer
Primer on Jan 6th Hearings 16/
The Jan 6th hearings are bipartisan (Democrats & Republicans both parties attend & ask questions). House Republican Leader, Trump's personal House Poodle Qevin McCoward withdrew THREE Republicans HE HAD NOMINATED, so now we have no idiots on panel
Primer on Jan 6th Hearings 17/
In December 2020 Trump ratted out three 'R Congressmen' to the 2 highest attorneys at US Department of Justice in a phone call revealing Senator Ron Johnson (WI), House Reps Gym Jordan (OH) & Scott Perry (PA) were plotting a coup d'etat (= Jan 6th)
Primer on Jan 6th Hearings 18/
Among crimes plotted by members of Congress one vile traitor, Chairman of the AGA, American Gargoyle Association (seen here smiling for the cameras) Paul Gosar (AZ) was offering Presidential Pardons to criminals, if they joined in the Jan 6th coup
Primer on Jan 6th Hearings 19/
January 6th was an attempt to overturn an election. Trump lost by 7 million votes. He attempted a coup d'etat. Some Maganutters involved wanted to hang Republican Vice President Mike Pence & kill Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi & torture others
Primer on Jan 6th Hearings 20/
The United States has been a democracy for 246 years. USA is a model for most other democracies of the world
America is a beacon of hope for those living under tyranny
Donald Trump tried to end US democracy & be made King. King Donald the Worst

Missing some Tweet in this thread? You can try to
force a refresh
King Donald the Worst (as distinct from King Donald the Wurst) was the ruler of the United States of Republica, an imgainary nation that briefly existed in delusion of Fox viewers (#FixFox) and some gullible voters...
WIKIPEDIA
The short reign of King Donald the Worst featured a brief alliance with the Axis of Imagination: Thigh Land, Nambia, Somolia & 2 of the 3 Mexicos. King Donald introduced the method of Finnish Forest Raking & waged a prolonged war against Windmills & sanity losing both
WIKIPEDIA
King Donald the Worst ascended to the throne upon his Reinstatement, after a failed coup d'etat, insurrection & picnic on Jan 6. His royal concubine was the Third Lady #FLOTITS, a Slovenian mostly of plastic. He had 2 sons: Don Jr & Hannity. He adopted a third son..
Let's do a quick Thread about the second biggest political blunder in US history
#MoscowMitch McTurtle was given a chance to make the January 6th hearings END by last Christmas, yes end of year 2021. And have half of the seats by Republicans incl Senate
Mitch Blunder Thread 2/
Can you imagine what kind of circus the Jan 6th hearings would've been if we'd have to listen to the whine of Repulsican Senators like Ted Cruz #CancunCruz & #LeningradLindsey Graham?
Speaker Pelosi OFFERED THIS DEAL to Mitch McConnell. He turned it down
Mitch Blunder Thread 3/
When #MoscowMitch (use that term, he hates it) McTurtle was offered this bipartisan, bicameral deal by Speaker Pelosi, where GOP would have had EQUAL power, Mitch personally lobbied AGAINST the deal
So now we have Pelosi's bipartisan House cttee instead
Let's kill some Generals. NO, Twitter, no! I was not threatening any Russian Generals, no. I meant, let's discuss this sudden outbreak of DGS, Dead Generals Syndrome, in a Thread. By some counts between 13 and 15 Generals have already died in Ukraine
Deaded Generals Thread 2/
For context. In WW2, USA had a military nearly 100 times larger than what Russia now sent to Ukraine. USA fought in Asia against Japan + in Africa & Europe against Germany & Italy. & lost 4 Generals in 4 years of war. Russia lost 14 Generals in 14 weeks
Deaded Generals Thread 3/
This level of Generals lost in combat by Russia in its invasion war of Ukraine is a modern era record (for command incompetence)
I will not now go into speculation on how this was achieved by Ukraine #SlavaUkraini#HeroiamSlava to not warn next targets
After 7 weeks of failure in the glorious 3 Day War invading Ukraine, Czar LilliPutin put this dude, General Dvornikov in charge of the war in Ukraine. We can now examine through some numbers to see how war changed. What is the 'Dvornikov Doctrine'
New Russian Strategy Thread 2/
Because of the excellent daily count of Russian losses via @KyivIndependent - we can compare the time before Dvornikov (original intended strategy) to the new 'Dvornikov Doctrine'. This was the daily losses as of 24 March, one month into the war:
New Russian Strategy Thread 3/
After Dvornikov took charge, there would be a few weeks of transition to his new strategy. By now he has been in charge for 7 weeks. Let's take the last 30 days, compared to first 30 days. Here are Russian losses as of May 2 via @KyivIndependent
Let me show you briefly what is going on with the sudden Southern Counter-Offensive by Ukraine, in the Battle of Donbas that has run for 5 weeks now
Let's do a short thread drawing onto this excellent map by cc @war_mapper from a few days ago
Kherson Counter-Attack Thread 2/
The Battle of Donbas is the largest land-battle in Europe since World War 2. It has involved more than 200,000 soldiers, several thousand tanks, and run for 5 weeks, with over 10,000 dead and twice that injured (both sides combined)
Kherson Counter-Attack Thread 3/
I took the excellent map by cc @war_mapper from just before the Ukrainian counter-offensive started. This was essentially the 'best moment' for Russia in the Battle of Donbas. Let's start with the circle in yellow. That is town of Sievierodonetsk
Artillery duels in attrition wars last months. Each side tries to have its artillery destroy the other side's artillery
Russia started with huge numerical advantage. Russia also has kept reinforcing its artillery (with older guns) & resupplying ammunition which is standard...
Ukraine had FOUR areas where it was at disadvantage for a prolonged artillery due
Ukraine had less artillery. Also less ammunition stockpile
Also their Russian-made artillery was older type, less accurate
And their older Russian-made artillery had less range
Ukraine's immediate need was RUSSIAN standard ammunition from West (152mm and 122mm rounds). And such artillery pieces. Estonia was first nation to send Ukraine artillery from its small army (122mm guns)
Then as that ammunition will run out, Ukraine needs to CHANGE to Western
