“23 House Rs voted against a resolution condemning racism because it contained language denouncing anti-Muslim hatred. Included in that list were 2 of the 3 top House Republican leaders, … Liz Cheney & … Steve Scalise.” (Cheney is not a good person.) 1/ truthout.org/articles/white…
Liz Cheney was apparently at least partly responsible for the Jan. 6 report’s glaring omission of Christian extremist involvement, which will no doubt allow these same religious extremists to plot another coup w/ relatively scant scrutiny. 2/
Article in post 1 is from 2019. I’m reviewing the 2016-2021 time period to try to better understand what went wrong. MAGAs rely on continuous chaos to prevent us from understanding even recent history. 3/
I’m sorry if people mistook post 1 for “Breaking News.” Lol. 4/
A WaPo investigation into the Jan 6 report’s drafting quoted Liz Cheney’s spokesperson, as saying Cheney “won’t sign onto any ‘narrative’” re Jan. 6 that “suggests every American who believes God has blessed America is a white supremacist. 5/ #strawman 🥵religionnews.com/2022/12/23/chr…

7/ Christian nationalists tend to be virulently ani-Muslim which is why I see a potential connection between Liz Cheney’s positions in posts 1 and 2.
8/ I wonder if Cheney believes in the separation between church and state. I don’t know the answer.
11/ At least she used her personal account for this tweet. But it seems she allowed her personal bias to skew the Jan 6 report, which is unacceptable and pathetic.

If Sidney Powell’s stupid legal challenges failed, and if Pence refused to falsely certify Trump as the winner, the apparent plan was for Trump to call in the military and deputize the militias to keep Trump in power by force. 1/
Team Trump planned to use the Insurrection Act (which applies in the event of extreme unrest/violence) and a 2018 Executive Order (which applies only in the event of foreign election interference) as a pretext. 2/
To satisfy the requirements of the Insurrection Act, they needed the Jan 6 protest to be “wild.” Had the bombs gone off or if Antifa had shown up, this likely wld have done the trick. 3/
MTG has always reminded me of that crazy astronaut lady who wore diapers to drive across country (no pit stops) to stalk her ex-boyfriend’s girlfriend. A deranged stalker. 1/
“The problem with Maria [Bartiromo] is she has GOP conspiracy theories in her ear. And they use her for their message sometimes.” - Fox News executive 1/
This quote (among others) is included here. I’ll try to get a link to the underlying evidence and post it of I can find it. 2/
In the meantime, I think Fox News needs to send Maria Bartiromo off to the mountains where she can live her best life and stop destroying our country. 3/
Hey @FoxNews: Where is your cross complaint against @GenFlynn? He made an unsubstantiated claim of foreign (not domestic) interference bc of that stupid executive order that Team Trump hoped to invoke w/ the help of John Ratcliffe. The order required foreign interference. 1/
By 2016, Proud Boys founder Gavin McIness had declared on his webcast: ‘Can u call for violence generally? ’Cause I am.’ He also declared, ‘Fighting solves everything—we need more violence from the … Trump supporters: Choke a motherfucker.’” June 2021 1/ vanityfair.com/news/2021/06/t…
“Not unlike his ‘good friend’ Roger Stone, the Trump crony—and, not incidentally, pardoned felon—who has Nixon’s face emblazoned between his shoulder blades, McInnes wanted to subvert things. He wanted to cause chaos. He wanted to break America—& remake it in his imaginings.” 2/
Gavin McInnes has reportedly used Adderall recreationally. If abused, the drug can “lead to grandiosity, to feeling like u are right & the world is wrong. It can include elements of paranoia. And all those psychological phenomena are wrapped up in Gavin’s transformation.” 3/
