Mr. Coogler if you're looking for inspo, I got an idea for you. 🥰

Colin Kaepernick is owed a HUGE apology from the public and NFL because his kneeling was a PEACEFUL PROTEST against police brutality. TSF and Repugs just riled everyone up saying how horrible a man Colin was. NFL bears a big responsibility in the way they treated him.

He told them he was doing tariffs. They voted for him anyway. How is it a betrayal when they voted for it?

I'm here today 🙌🏾

Do not miss the forest for the trees. The answer is right there, and usually the most simple if you ask the right question. Why on earth is DT willing to appear subjugated? To Elon, or even Putin. Because they both have him by the balls. Journalists just need to find out why they do. 9/9

Any crimes he doesn't escape for, he can fight with his billions of dollars or locate to a country with no extradition treaty. Either one will escape accountability either by money or Father Time. Trump would likely die from old age before consequences would ever catch up to him. So in closing. 8/9

If the truth gets out, Trump could be impeached and face jail time again. Elon needs Trump's presidency and the powers of immunity given to him by the Supreme Court to protect him. He can be as lawless as he wants to. Because even if impeachment looms, he can pardon Elon of most crimes. 7/9

Is it possible Elon has the biggest secret/blackmail hanging over Trump's head? That he rigged the election in Trump's favor. Let's not forget Trump's own words about Elon "doing something to the voting machines" to help him win. If so, Trump won't reign him in cause he can't. 6/9

Elon has something on Trump that makes him cower. That causes fear, or hesitation, to actually challenge Elon & the perception of President Elon. If Elon somehow figured out how to hand Trump the Presidency illegitimately. Trump KNOWS this. 5/9

No. DT has loyalty to NO ONE. So even after buying his return to office why does it seem he is ok with Co-President Elon running amuk? The simple answer.... HE HAS NO CHOICE. Whatever Elon pulled to hand DT the win, wasn't acheived by merit. SomeTHING happened. Even beyond the perfect soup. 4/9

So began a partnership of mutual interests. Money and Power. So why is DT acquiescing when he actually won the most powerful position? Elon may have bought his win. But does anyone think DT, without it benefiting him would care Elon spent millions of dollars for his Get Out Jail Free Card? 3/9

DT ran for President for ONE reason. To stay out of prison. He inherited the perfect soup of a feckless DOJ, two wars that split us apart & hurt turnout/engagement, an electorate that felt aggrevied for no other reason than racism, and a billionaire who had controlled the world community square 2/9

I need the smart people to start smarting more. A 🧵

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com rightly pointed out how feckless and subservient Donald Trump was during this press conference. Knowing DT the way we do, it does seem out of character. But why is no one asking the bigger question? WHY?

Buckle up 1/9
