As the US House likely impeaches Trump we must hold the PA GOP accountable for the failed coup. PA Republicans were the biggest culprits in spreading misinformation to corrupt & delegitimize our election. These lies were believed by the terrorists who attacked the US Capitol.

Demographics are often destiny. Irish nationalists surpassing British unionists in the N Ireland election is a permanent trend. Those under 18 are 3 to 2 Irish/Catholic while 85+ are 2 to 1 British/Protestant. Inevitably after proper preparation a border poll will have to occur.

Even after an unprecedented violent attack on American democracy the GOP yet again bowed down to Trump. The fact that just 10 of 211 Republicans in the US House voted to impeach is reprehensible. The Republican Party is completely and totally morally bankrupt. #impeachment

Note to Donald Trump: all but 2 Republicans in the entire Pennsylvania House voted to expand vote by mail in Oct 2019. So believing vote by mail was some conspiracy is to think nearly the entire PA GOP was in on it. Positively insane.

It’s abundantly clear Trump is trying to use the PA House to delegitimize/delay Biden’s legitimate victory. In this tweet he’s specifically referencing GOP leadership elections in the legislature. Any efforts to use the House to advance these aims will be fought tooth and nail.

Epidemiologist @DrEricDing sets out just how essential testing of COVID remains in the US. I believe while distribution of vaccines is essential we can’t lose focus of the threat of rapid communal spread of the new strain of COVID currently most afflicting the UK & Ireland.

Amen to this. Pretty remarkable there are still “celebrations” of the British Empire. Not only was this empire the world’s biggest imperialist force their subjugation tactics of “divide and conquer” so often led to conflict well after they left a occupied country.
