@superzu@Mystifeye Exactly! I worry, if media can lie and manipulate so blatantly about things that are open for all to see (like this trial), what would they do with news items that we don't have access to and rely on them? :(
@MollyJongFast The first thing they need to do is to learn the Math that 81 million is more than 74 million. 306 is more than 232. Then they need to think about whether they can win even if they run.
@Jeanne_Mann That is easy. McConnell is adept at handling this. And of course, Trump has learned too that you can only incite violence when you are at the end of your term. Trump will do what he does, and McConnell will do what he does.
@danielsgoldman @KarenBlackmer And of course, #MitchMcConnell had to message everyone saying he would vote to acquit. If not, other senators might have thought through things and independently voted to convict. Then his carefully prepared post-acquittal speech would have been wasted!
@danielsgoldman @KarenBlackmer If the others who were part of the insurrection were not allowed to vote, and if people didn't leave their seats and paid attention, we might have gotten more. MIGHT.
Republicans allowed Donald Trump to incite an insurrection without consequence, and now they want to allow insurrectionists to determine state voting laws. We cannot allow laws to be written based on a lie. We must protect the right to vote. #gapol
