A few thoughts on Trump likely return to Twitter now that Elon Musk runs this place

Let's not cry over spilled milk. Twitter is likely going to change & to many Elon's changes will make Twitter seem worse. But that is life. It is still by far the most powerful platform for us
Assuming Trump returns... what would that do?

#LetTrumpBeTrump

Yes. Let Trump Be Trump!

He cannot damage us. In four years - as President - on Twitter, Trump did not get Speaker Pelosi to lose. DEMs picked up seats BOTH election cycles 2018 & 2020

Same in Senate. Trump LOST
As to Trump being able to use Twitter to his own power. He lost to Hillary Clinton in 2016 by 3 million votes. He lost to President Joe Biden in 2020 by 7 million votes. This was before his suspension. That's how bad Trump is at using Twitter to an advantage

#LetTrumpBeTrump
Trump cannot hurt us, as in Team Blue

Trump does damage the GOP. Look at Liz Cheney just now. A formidable conservative from a safely red state. She was the leading woman Republican in the House. Trump used his power to damage a Republican. Let Trump Be Trump!
#LetTrumpBeTrump
Trump is a petulant child. He is an imbecile. He only cares about revenge. He cannot hurt any Democrats. He cannot hurt those who were 'Never Trumpers'. The only people Trump can hurt, are Republicans now in power. He keeps damaging them. Including his moron candidates for Senate
When Trump was on Twitter as the SITTING President, he never got anywhere near number of Obama's followers who was the PAST President. When Trump was kicked off Twitter he had 88 million followers. He will never get back to those numbers if he now returns #LetTrumpBeTrump

BUT...
But Trump has a loyal base of supporters, many of whom are here on Twitter. He will instantly get to about 20 million maybe 30-40 million followers. It gives Trump CRUSHING power in social media to go after...

....Republicans. Like Death Santis & #MoscowMitch
#LetTrumpBeTrump
As to Twitter? We stay on, we use this like in past election cycles to help drive our messages & organize our team

We have an election coming. Go volunteer. If you want to do something else? Contribute to a good race. And then.. get your friends to also volunteer

Let's win this
PS if you did not know which race is worth your extra effort?

Here are 7 Senate races that are so close we can win them. And they decide who controls the Senate (who gets to pick judges for next years). This can help you get started:

GAG ORDER THREAD

On Monday Judge Chutkan in DC (Jack Smith 2) case will hold a hearing about putting a gag order on Herr Hezbollah, the nation's Terrorist-In-Chief. Trump was under protective order. He breached it many times. So this is now his 'final warning'

Let's do a Thread Image
GAG ORDER THREAD/2

Don't look at me like that! This is JUSTICE. It is EXACTLY the same legal standard that would apply to you and me. Nothing more, nothing less. Trump is a FIRST TIME OFFENDER; has NEVER been convicted of any crime (yet). He was put on a 'protective order' FIRST Image
GAG ORDER THREAD/3

Then Trump repeatedly broke that protective order. We WITNESSED IT LIVE on TV and on social media, REPEATEDLY

But the Judge CANNOT do anything about it. Until she is FORMALLY told by the prosecution. She CANNOT do anything yet. It would be same for you and me Image

Justice IS COMING

We certainly feel it was taking too long. In reality this is about par for the course, in some ways FASTER than normal, for such a large criminal conspiracy. Timing is similar to Watergate

FIRST of PLANNERS of Jan 6 go to trial, in Georgia in two weeks !!!
Image
So January 6th, 2021 was two years and 9 months ago. Over 1,000 of the violent mob have been caught, over half prosecuted, and prison sentences for those running up to more than a decade in prison. That is justice

The ORGANIZERS of the Jan 6th plot are Trump, the Seditious Six.. Image
The ORGANIZERS of Jan 6 are
Trump
Seditious Six (Giuliani, Flynn etc)
Evil Eleven of Congress (Gosar, Gym, Gaetz etc)
and a handful others (Roger Stone, Bannon etc)
They are ALL CAUGHT

Jack Smith STARTED to prosecute the organizers. Look who he has as WITNESSES to this crime Image

Trump calls Hezbollah "very smart" for their terrorist attack? Same Senile Man called Putin smart for invading Ukraine. And called murdering dictators MBS and Kim Jong Un smart

Meanwhile Trump has called HIS OWN CABINET and HIS OWN GENERALS idiots & stupid

Ok, Trumpo, I'm game
Let's get Trump opinions by HIS OWN Generals:

General Mattis: Trump's not mature, a 5th grader
General McMaster: he's a dope, kindergartner idiot
Colonel Esper: irresponsible
General Milley: crazy
General Hytin: an idiot
General Kelly: Trump's crazy, an unhinged idiot

Next... Image
Then let's ask Trump White House staff, people Trump selected:

VP Pence: Trump is reckless
CoS 1 Priebus: he's an idiot
CoS 2 (Kelly, in above)
CoS 3 Mulvaney: terrible human being, a clown show
CoS 4 Meadows: Trump is worthless
SoS Tillerson: he's a fucking moron

and more... Image

New York New York Thread /1

Trump was massively embarrassed in New York, and that trial still continues. But this incident (Trump sitting in NY court for 3 days and then bailed) exposes insight into how incredibly stupid, and self-destructive Trump is

Let's do a Thread Image
New York New York Thread /2

So what happened? Trump sat in the civil trial - he is NOT required to be there (he must attend all criminal trials which start in March 2024). He feuded with the judge, got hit with a gag order, then stormed out of New York. Let's see how dumb it was Image
New York New York Thread /3

Donald the Duck McTrump's whole brand is based on the carefully constructed fake illusion, that he is somehow a 'billionaire'. WE know he is not. That Trump is a fake, a con-artist, living on other people's money. But his SUPPORTERS believe that lie Image

What happens next? The House cannot conduct any other business until it has selected a new House Speaker. The GOP is in civil war. It may be chaos for a while. Most likely they find a suitable Republican Speaker

DEMs do not have votes for DEM Speaker

BUT DEMs could make a deal Image
If a slice of Republicans (as few as 6) ally with DEMs, then that alliance could select (a Republican) speaker

Realistically the most logical such choice is an EX House Republican, like Liz Cheney

Because of GOP civil war, DEMs have leverage now Image
This is the deal I suggest:

DEMs make deal for ANY Republican who they can trust (like Liz Cheney, Kinzinger) where promise is 2 House Votes every week. One vote on legislation provided by GOP, the other vote legislation provided by DEMs. Both will get a floor vote each week Image

Flipper Thread/1

With Friday's bombshell news in court filing by Jack Smith of 3 more prosecution witnesses - now just about as big as they come - let's do a Thread about the flippers in Trump's life, the rats who all testify under oath, in criminal courts, against Trump Image
Flipper Thread/2

Trump committed an act of insurgency against America. That word is rarely used. The legal EFFECT is the same as 'treason'. Trump committed a crime which is essentially as bad as treason

So who does Jack Smith have as a witness? Trump's OWN Attorney General Barr Image
Flipper Thread/3

Bill Barr was not just the nation's top lawyer, as Attorney General, when this plot was first hatched - Barr learned of the idea - and TOLD TRUMP IT IS ILLEGAL. That is what Barr will testify under oath. That Trump KNEW this plot is illegal

But it gets worse Image
