Having watched with growing alarm the developments of the last 24 and 36 hours in Washington, I thought I’d take a stab at how the US media would cover this story if it was happening in a foreign country. Here’s that story that should be written this weekend: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-s-jun...

Violent paramilitary forces commingling with government is a signal for society. It is a signal that attempts to kill your opposition are heroic and will be lauded. This is a pretext to violence and insurrection against those seen as the enemy. This is the stuff civil conflict is made of

Never forget that Musk stood on stage at the inaugural celebrations today, did the Nazi salute twice, and quoted from the 14 words.
We are now led by literal Nazis. God help us all.

Elon forced H1B workers to manipulate the Twitter algorithm to get Trump elected, creating and promoting fake stories & allowing disinformation from Russia, Iran, & Israel. Now they’re doing it to Germany and others. H1B workers can’t say no or they lose their jobs and have to leave the US.

Oof this one hits hard, as I try to convince people in my life that facts exist and are knowable, even facts about politics.

As an ex prosecutor I’m most disturbed by Trump’s utilization of social media to intimidate witnesses against him. This should be yet another criminal charge of interference in a criminal investigation. This is the most troubling aspect of Jack Smith’s report. See attached.

The special counsel report affirms that Trump led a criminal conspiracy attempting to overturn the 2020 election, which ultimately led to the violent and deadly attack on the Capitol.
He would have been convicted of these felonies had he not delayed the trial.

Special Counsel Report Says Trump Would Have Been Convicted in Election Case
The report, which said the special counsel’s office stood “fully behind” the merits of the prosecution, amounted to an extraordinary rebuke of the president-elect.
