Since we now know Alito was flying his flag upside down at the time, let’s review one of the plans the coup plotters had involving him.
This interview by criminal defendant Powell is interesting. It suggests that the purpose of the insurrection was to DELAY the electoral college certification to give #Alito time to intervene on this legal challenge. But, Powell says they didn’t anticipate Pelosi reconvening Congress that day.

In a remarkable move, Trump-appointed judge Aileen Cannon vacated (cancelled) the May 20th trial date in Donald Trump's stolen classified documents/obstruction of justice/Espionage case in Florida, and she announced that she will be setting no trial date. This is particularly outrageous given that Trump's own lawyers had previously suggested an August trial date.
Cannon's conduct is reminiscent of some of the evidence in Trump's New York case: David Pecker, head of Enquirer tabloid magazine, was involved in a crooked scheme with Trump to catch and kill damaging stories to help the criminal in the 2016 election. Now, it sure looks like Judge Cannon is Catching and Killing Trump's Espionage case, which undoubtedly will help Trump in the 2024 presidential election.
Regarding Judge Cannon's pro-Trump bias, the recusal cup runneth over. Hopefully, Special Counsel Jack Smith agrees, and finally files a motion to REMOVE Judge Aileen "Pecker" Cannon from presiding over Trump's Florida prosecution.
I told y'all, cops don't do what you think they do.🤷🏿♂️
Black folk know this from lived experience. Some white folk only learn this when they go to report a theft or sexual assault and find out that the $11B/year NYPD are not equipped to handle that.

All the money hiding done to further another crime - blocking news of his immorality with other women without consent of better half, to win election. More evidence will be there next week. 😅
Breaking: #91Felonies rapist has posted a bond of nearly $92 million in E. Jean Carroll defamation case. The posted bond is exactly $91,630,000.00, which includes a district’s courts common practice of requiring a bond of 110% of the judgement.
Insurance company Chubb underwrote the $91.63 million bond for Donald Trump, which the former president signed on Tuesday, March 5.
Under the terms of the bond, Chubb will only secure the appeal of the $83.3 million judgment, not any future appeals.
#91Felonies Rapist got someone to give him almost exactly that amount. America has no idea who that is or who he is now beholden to, and that is unacceptable as a counterintelligence matter.
The whole world wants to know where the money to purchase the bond came from.
And U.S. intelligence needs to know.
A billionaire shouldn’t need an agency to post his $90M bond. That should be chump change to a billionaire. Where’s Mr. I’m so rich when it comes to paying his bills?
BTW, the easiest (but by no means the only!) way for the Supreme Court to justify turning down Colorado's trying to keep Trump off the ballot would be to declare that the 14th Amendment in this respect is not self-executing. Problem solved, as far as the Court is concerned, and they avoid a flood of similar attempt by other states to keep Trump or Biden off the ballot -- or others further down the line.
"And now, Republicans are saying that if they retake the White House they will change the Medicare rules so that people newly turning 65 will enroll by default into Medicare Advantage rather than real, traditional Medicare, further enhancing the profits of these massive, billion-dollar insurance giants while rapidly killing off real, traditional Medicare."
Just so you know where we are and understand that they're ALL fucking fascists and they're GOING FOR IT.
"In a stunning reversal, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-K.Y.) is urging the Senate G.O.P. caucus to vote against the bipartisan border security and foreign defense aid package. It comes after spending weeks helping a bipartisan group of senators craft it, and just hours after he spoke in favor of the legislation."
Not one republican has the courage to call #Trump what he is, and "will likely nominate a soon-to-be convicted felon who can't vote or possess firearms and who has been lawfully found by a civil federal jury to be a rapist. The issue will be if he remains free for the entire campaign."

Blah blah. Isreal and Palestine need to first act like normal citizens at a political level, without resorting to VIOLENCE.
Only then, Palestinians can have a state.
When I heard that #Scalise had multiple myeloma—which my dad died of—I wondered if he'd get stem cell treatment despite having voted & campaigned against stem cell therapy. My dad was too old for this option. Lucky for Scalise, hypocrisy is no barrier
Jake Sherman: STEVE SCALISE will be out of DC until Feb…getting a stem-cell transplant.
House GOP has 220-seat majority. Bill Johnson is out Jan. 21. After that, w Scalise out, GOP will have a bare bones 218-seat majority
