THRD 1. Even stretching it, as McConnell when refusing 2appoint Merritt Garland 2SCOTUS usatoday.com/story/news/pol… , or when FBI could have more exhaustively & timely investigated Anita Hill’s complaint against Clarence Thomas npr.org/2018/09/23/650… or Dr. Christine Blasey Ford’s 2. against Brett Kavanaugh vox.com/policy-and-pol… , or allowing things like misconstruing one’s future actions (as might be predicted by past legal opinions and rulings), say declaring that Roe is established law to then overturn it washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/… )—suppose following

1. America seems to have suddenly forgotten SCOTUS may be on its way to turn women into breeding vessels. of course, other problems exist. A. Bcs of one megalomaniac lunatic, world economy is a shambles, Ukraine is a shambles, inflation is through the roof, food scarcity is 2. beginning to bite, and all the other pending problems (worldwide tyrannical drift, climate change, world pollution, deforestation, famines & so on) continue. We just don’t seem able to worry abt all of them at once. B. Bcs of 5 megalomaniac lunatic dominionists in SCROTUS

1/ @POTUS @vonderleyen @eucopresident @EmmanuelMacron @Bundeskanzler
@10DowningStreet @NATO @jensstoltenberg U all praise the Ukraine, its people’s heroism, its importance as a bulwark in defending an international world order predicated on deterrence & diplomacy. While everyone Image 2/ in the West celebrates the incredible miscalculation Putin made and how effective the sanctions might be, Ukrainians are being massacred and the country reduced to piles of smoldering rubble. U say u will try 2give them more weapons (now it’s harder bcs u waited 2long, BTW) &

It also protects ppl 50+ older 4a period similar 2younger. The Moderna vaccine (MV) provides abt 94% protection, but 4a seemingly 2/ shorter (how short?) period 4 50+ older recipients.

THREAD: 1/Trump is purely transactional. He’s also broke. Oligarchs want the international community weakened so they can operate unconstrained by international laws. Russia is a mafia state where government, oligarchs and mafia are often indistinguishable from one another. 2/So, GOP’s endgame might be getting rich by allowing Trump to infiltrate the entire apparatus of US security to sell it to Putin, in exchange for enough money to take him like a fat annoying Snowden. Donald’s endgame, aside from pocketing a chunk of all donations below $8K for

Thread. 1/The assumption that GOP has been inexplicably behaving stems fm assuming USA enemies are countries. However, if one were 2consider oligarchs (both foreign & domestic) thrive in an international context where institutions are we weakened by internal division, corruption 2/refusal 2b part of international organizations (see Paris Accord, WHO, NATO , ICJ at Hague & so on) that clamp down on tax evasion, organized crime & so on, one begins 2understand why GOP continues by & large 2destabilize US by refusing 2concede & acting like Trump sycophants

I'm also trying 2 make plain that what even Mattis was trying 2 push that "both sides do that" is GOP trying 2 survive but if we buy that BS out of repetition we're doomed. DNC did NOT side w/Russia, or try 73+ times 2 repeal Obamacare, or give #TaxScamForRich, or protect 45 aka #TraitorInChief come Hell or high water, did NOT insert judges on USC whose main qualification was being right-wing zealots, did NOT condone conspiracy theories pushed by WH on all media leading to hatred & violence, did NOT block Muller Investigation & the appoint Barr to

At the risk of being called a party pooper, I'd like to remind #TheResistance that: 1. #TaxScamBill if anything GOP may now try to shove faster now, suppository style; 2. #NetNeutrality & #NationalMonuments are still in danger; 3. #infrastructure spending & many state services have been cut to the bone; 4.#CorruptionMustDie & so does #nepotism, but both alive & well; 5. #NazisInAmerica & other hate group rampant, & there is no #GunControlNow or even serious discussion of it; 6. #StateDepartment is being decimated & deserted by many career ppl & that is
