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
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
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...
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:
We saw Trump incite the violence & neglect his duty to defend the USA
Now we know there was a conspiracy to commit sedition (to end US democracy). Several Proud Boys & Oath Keepers have CONFESSED to this criminal conspiracy, as DOJ prosecutes the crime
So after Jan 6th Hearings, we know there is overwhelming proof that Rudy Giuliani, Michael Flynn, Bannon and Roger Stone conspired with Oath Keepers & Proud Boys to overturn the US democracy. To make Trump King (King Donald the Worst). DOJ has already flipped multiple witnesses
We learned that Jan 6th Committee had found evidence that Giuliani, Roger Stone, Bannon & Flynn were communicating with Trump on January 6th
When asked did Flynn communicate with Trump on Jan 6th, the Russian General pleaded the fifth. Only criminals plead the 5th
Giuliani
Sidney Powell
Gen Flynn
Bannon
Eastman
Meadows
Roger Stone
Don Jr
Ron Johnson
Gym Jordan
Mo Brooks
The Gaetz of Hell
Perry
Gosar
Biggs
Hice
Babin
Harris
Gohmert
Marjorie Traitor Greene
Jenna Ellis
Navarro
Patrick Byrne
My Pillow Guy
Trump
For context. We are 22 months from Jan 6th
Watergate hearings started 10 mo after the break-in. The hearings turned into impeachment 13 mo later. 4 mo after that, Nixon resigned
And 5 mo later criminal convictions of 41 Nixon criminals convicted to prison
So 22 months vs 32 mo
The Jan 6th plot of coup d'etat was hatched on 18 Dec 2020

How's your war going in Ukraine? What happened to your bridge? Hey, I know some people. And Mexico could pay for it
I'm miserable. The Jan 6th Committee just subpoenaed me to testify at their stupid hearings. I miss hearing your voice. Could you just call me
My Sweetest Trumpy-Pumpkin
Daddy's a bit busy with this war in Ukraine. My incompetent army is just losing and retreating. They're now killing their officers. Which is wrong. I'm the only one allowed to execute those bastards! We're so low on weapons, I'm buying drones from Iran
Dearest Chairman Kim Jong-Un
What is this I see in the news that you're selling missiles to Putin? Wow? I thought your missiles were all crap? Did Vladimir say anything about me? He hasn't returned my calls.
How I miss the gentle touch of your hand in mine when we had our walks
On Kerch Bridge aka #CrimeanBridge. We saw the road bridge clearly damaged but on the outside lane. What I ponder is this train on fire?
Look at train cars, 5 separate fires but not on consecutive cars. One explosion on the CAR BRIDGE is highly unlikely to produce this on train
So let's use a bit of close-up to this photo in the morning when train was still on fire. Look at gap between leftmost fireball and next fireball. Two fuel cars are not on fire. How did the next 4 fires to right start, from ONE explosion that started leftmost fire?
Hmmmmmm...
I believe the explosion we see on roadway part of bridge, that is seen on security cam - did not produce each of these 5 separate fires. It may have produced one or 2 or 3 near each other. This photo evidence suggests strongly SEPARATE attack on train, different from road bridge
Photo of Kerch Bridge aka #CrimeanBridge this morning with fire still burning on train. Can see 3 broken parts to bridge but only on one lane. Burn marks on left roadway suggest point of main detonation/strike. Will give some observations
Look at undamaged roadway. It has clear burn marks next to middle section of broken roadway. Suggests that middle breach to bridge was main explosion. Is consistent with burning train which would have gone in this photo from left to right, and stopped
There was speculation of under-bridge explosion (commandos, or covert boat). The way the roadway bends down into the water at middle broken section does not suggest under-bridge explosion, but rather above-bridge explosion detonating downward. That would produce a bend to surface
We do not know how it was hit. We will find out eventually. It is not in Ukraine's interest to let Russia know how they did it, and makes sense to keep Putin guessing
Let me show you 5 plausible ways it might have happened #RussiaIsLosing
When you look at this video of the truck, it would support view, that the TRUCK itself exploded. It would then have been carrying a full load of explosives. Could have been a suicide mission. If so, heroic sacrifice. I hope no partisan had to die for this
Variation of that 'truck explosion' is not suicide mission but a remote detonation. The explosives needed to break this bridge, sitting on a steel truckbed 1 meter (3 feet) above the road surface, make me doubt it was the method. Unlikely but certainly plausible
