Elon Musk has Tweeted 88 (white supremacist code for Heil Hitler) to which they replied with 14 (code for their 14 Words), trotted out the Jewish Puppet Master trope, and then posted a wink to anti-Semites with a cartoon similar to the one they use, in reference to Vindman. @ADL Of course, all done with "plausible deniability" which is standard. But he has tweeted 88 and deleted it before. He very well knows what the dumbass frog cartoons are associated with when talking about Jews (but didn't use THE Pepe one). It's all textbook anti-Semitic trolling.

LOL @politico poll came back good for Democrats, so Politico wrote a headline and story that shat all over their own poll as a freak outlier. I mean, if you think your polls are wrong, then fire your pollsters and stop printing the poll results. But if you're going to publish them, maybe interview the pollsters on why they're finding something quite different than others. It might be a really interesting story!

There needs to concurrently be harsh and swift punishment for insurrectionists and a coming together between Democrats and Republicans who choose to stand up against coup attempts, like yesterday's.

In an ideal world, this is what would happen:

1/ Vice President Pence would get a majority of the cabinet to invoke the 25th amendment, today.

Acting President Pence would immediately invite Joe Biden to hold the inauguration at the White House, to ensure safety and security.

Terrible, yet likely common, #COVID19 take from my wife's extended family, in FL.

Long story short, they're Trumpers, anti-mask, etc. And, of course, their whole household got COVID. But, gets worse.

1/ First, the fam says they only have mild symptoms, what's the big deal? Then, their uncle got it and went to the hospital. Their reaction? Well, he is old, so that isn't a surprise. No big deal, he'll be fine.

2/

People asking me (in emails, etc) where their money would go far, in flipping the Senate. Like, the candidates who really can use more money, and are competitive.

There's a few I can think of, which I will list below.

Feel free to share!

[THREAD] 1. In Georgia, @ReverendWarnock is JUST on the cusp of making the runoff. Standing in his way is Joe Lieberman's son, who refuses to drop out, to help push Warnock over the top. So, go donate and help give Warnock a push.

Fact is, no one knows what will happen to impeachment numbers in polls, if Congress begins inquiry hearings.

It is all guessing! But, it was the same in 1973, when polling said, after the Saturday Night Massacre, only 37 percent favored removal of Nixon.

A THREAD 2/ According to WashPost polling, the same number of people, today, back impeachment, as did those after Nixon went on a firing spree.

Back then, like today, Dems (and everyone else) had no idea if pursuing impeachment would change those numbers, or backfire.

THREAD: As someone who spins for a living, Melania's trip to Texas, and the show put on for her, is fairly standard stuff, to spin a crisis. I don't fault her team for spinning it, but reporters' job is to make it tough on spinmeisters (like me), not blindly report her trip 1/ 2/ So here are some questions reporters should ask Melania's team, if they haven't already.

- How was this facility chosen? Why is she not visiting the tents or the facilities with cages?

- Does she have any plans to go to the tents of facilities with cages?

RANT THREAD: Lemme get this straight: Reporters had Trump right in front of them, but didn't ask a single question about the slush fund full of corporate and Russian money that his lawyer, who was negotiating and paying his NDA's, had? But they asked if he deserves the Nobel? 1/ Listen, I get there is a lot going on in the world but there was too, when I repeatedly begged media to just ask him directly if he knew of Michael Cohen's payments to Stormy Daniels. For weeks I harped on it, often getting angry responses. 2/

1. Ok, have some thoughts about continuing to call it Trickle Down Economics. First, not sure many people remember the theory. Second, relatedly, that means we need to explain the theory BEFORE even getting to why it doesn’t work. 2. I think the reality of the theory is that the rich are a sponge and just suck up all the money sent to them, until someone squeezes it out. NOTHING trickles down unless it is squeezed.
