🧵Is Mike Pence really Theon Greyjoy in disguise?

Watching the #January6thCommitteeHearings focused on the pressure campaign against former VP @Mike_Pence and it occurred to me that he is effectively a real, live version of our maligned #GOT character.

#ReekPence
/2 Both Pence and Theon start off as smug, punchable asshats, but nothing much more dangerous.

#ReekPence #January6thCommitteeHearings
/3 But at some point they saw themselves deserving of the big chair (king/president) and were willing to lick their Daddies' boots.

#ReekPence #January6thCommitteeHearings
/4 It turns out they both were effectively held hostage by a crazed, sadistic autocrat who both took pleasure in torturing them.

#ReekPence #January6thCommitteeHearings
/5 They simply betrayed their allies and morals time and again in search of power and put themselves in position to be humiliated over and over and over again.

#ReekPence #January6thCommitteeHearings
/6 At this point, we know neither Pence nor Theon has any balls.

#ReekPence #January6thCommitteeHearings
/7 But here is the thing ... for all their failure, both Pence and Theon had one, bright shining moment at the very end.

#ReekPence #January6thCommitteeHearings
/8 If Theon did not stay by Bran's side - and die in the process as he was mobbed by dead men - then the world would have ended.

#ReekPence #January6thCommitteeHearings
/9 If Pence did not resist Trump - upon threat of death as the US Capitol was mobbed by braindead men and women - the our democracy would have ended.

#ReekPence #January6thCommitteeHearingssu
/10 Here is the takeaway:

Very flawed people can be heroic in a moment. And we need those heroes in those moments.

Thank you for putting our country first, #ReekPence.

#January6thCommitteeHearings
/11 Hoping I can get confirmation on this theory from @netw3rk or @MalloryRubin
/12 I also feel like this is a thread several folks @ProjectLincoln (or alums) could appreciate ... @TheRickWilson @reedgalen @stuartpstevens @ZackCz @FPWellman @Philip_Germain @SteveSchmidtSES @TaraSetmayer
/13 It totally forgot ... Pence 2024 campaign slogan is already written!

Nobody is above the law. That is foundational to the American system of government.

Trump violates the principle again and again.

He must be held accountable. @ProjectLincoln will always do that - will the #DOJ?

#TrumpIsAFelon
/2 @ProjectLincoln knows that the shady deal between @realDonaldTrump and @RobertKennedyJr broke the law.

We cannot overlook that.
/3 You can read the entire @ProjectLincoln letter to the #AGMerrickGarland here.

The #DOJ cannot sit on its hands while Trump breaks laws time and again during this election. #MerrickGarlandMustAct

🧵We should be a few minutes away from starting the Thurs 8/8 #TinaPetersTrial.

She is the MAGA County Clerk who allegedly engaged in a surreptitious plot to make unlawful copies of voter databases. You can watch live here:

/2 #TinaPeters did this with the help of Lauren Boebert's former campaign manager and Mike "My Pillow Guy" Lindell.

This is a huge trial and could set the tone for November election interference by county clerks.
/3 You can find my🧵from yesterday, with links to prior days, here:

I'm a little late, but the #TinaPetersTrial is back on this morning.

She is a county clerk on trial for multiple felonies related to her role as an Election Denier working with Mike Lindell.

You can watch here:

/2 It is probably the most important pre-November trial in the country - even more than Trump's.

Election Deniers in public office as county clerks pose an existential threat to our democracy. The #TinaPetersTrial will be critical to keeping them in check.
/3 Peters's attorney is cross-examining a witness from the Mesa County Clerk's Office.

Objections against his questions keep getting sustained.

🧵on Colorado Primary Voting

I received my ballot in the mail a couple days ago and this thread will be an "unboxing" and explanation of voting in the primary for unaffiliated voters with sprinkles of how well our #VoteByMail systems work.

#copolitics #Vote
/2 So we are all on the same page, Colorado has a universal vote by mail system.

That means a ballot is mailed out to every registered voter. They can return it in multiple ways:
- by mail
- drop it in a drop box
- drop it off at a polling place
/3 Upon opening the envelope, one of the first things to come out is a handy instruction pamphlet.

It explains LOTS OF STUFF! What is in the packet, how to vote, where to return your ballot, how to track it, and how to determine the security of the election.

THREAD 1/ Late last week several prominent members of the Texas GOP filed a lawsuit to disenfranchise more than 127,000 voters in #HarrisCountyTX.

@ProjectLincoln filed an amicus last night opposing their attempts at #VoterSuppression

#DontBeDeterred #WeWillVote #Elections2020
2/ The #HarrisCountyTX Clerk added drive-thru polling places in June to provide safe, efficient voting options for voters in Houston.

After more than 127,000 Texans took advantage of that option, the plaintiffs want the practice declared illegal and the ballots thrown out.
3/ The @ProjectLincoln could not stand by and watch #VoterSuppression in #HarrisCountyTX without speaking up.

Yesterday I filed an amicus brief on behalf of @ProjectLincoln in the US District Court of Western Texas.

We argued that @GovAbbott's proclamation limiting counties to one ballot return drop-box both hinders voting and poses a risk to voters.

#VoteByMail2020
#BallotDropBox
2/ The proclamation equated to #VoterSuppression, particularly in counties with huge populations like Harris, Travis, and Fort Bend.

#VoteByMail2020
#BallotDropBox
3/ @ProjectLincoln refused to stand by and watch while @GovAbbott undermined the election in Texas.

We support the Texas League of United Latin American Citizens, @LWVTexas and other plaintiffs' request for relief from his unconstitutional order.
