Why do I pick Mastodon over the conspiracy X?

Well, a Mastodon is of the Mammoth family. A big ass creature that one could ride into battle.

I'd rather ride a Mastodon than my x again.

@lowqualityfacts Bruh, you really keep a surveillance drone in your house?

@rbreich “Expose a cabal of global elites” sounds like a #conspiracy theory. Why not just say that the gap between rich and poor has widened dramatically since the 1980s so that the super rich have too much influence over political parties. We need taxation to be more progressive and unions to be less restricted by legislation. Moreover, the real dark horse is #climatechange policy, which is so far ineffective.

finished watching The X Files
Ah, simpler times, when the world's demise was orchestrated by competent people through clever conspiracies.

Wait, this is fiction, it was always a bunch of ridiculous, very public bros, concerned only with making the line go up. It was in plain sight all along.

Just a reminder, #House #Republicans dumped this 8hr deposition & 255p transcript on NYE because they were trying to bury it. It didn’t do any of the things they wanted. It didn’t exonerate #Trump. It didn’t prove the cases were political witch hunts. It didn’t prove #JackSmith was a political operative or radical. If anything it proved the cases were justified & proper, that Trump was culpable & the #conspiracy was premeditated, & that Jack Smith is a paragon of integrity.

“The evidence here made clear that President Trump was by a large measure the most culpable & most responsible person in this #conspiracy. These #crimes were committed for his benefit. The attack that happened at the Capitol, part of this case, does not happen without him. The other co-conspirators were doing this for his benefit,” #JackSmith said, in reply to a question about whether his investigations were meant to prevent #Trump from reclaiming the presidency in 2024.
#law #Jan6 #insurrection

#JackSmith repeatedly made clear his belief that the evidence gathered against #Trump was strong enough to sustain a #conviction. Part of the strength of the #Jan6 case, Smith said, was the extent to which it relied on the testimony of Trump allies & supporters who cooperated with the investigation.

Capitol “riot” 'does not happen' without #Trump, #JackSmith told #Congress

The #Jan6, 2021, #insurrection at the US Capitol “does not happen” without Donald Trump, former special counsel Jack Smith told lawmakers earlier this month in characterizing the Republican president as the “most culpable & most responsible person” in the #criminal #conspiracy to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

Smith told lawmakers that investigators interviewed the officer who was in the car, “who said that President Trump was very angry & wanted to go to the Capitol,” but the officer’s version of events “was not the same as what Cassidy Hutchinson said she heard from somebody secondhand.”

Smith was also asked whether his team evaluated former White House aide #CassidyHutchinson’s explosive claim that #Trump that grabbed at the steering wheel of the presidential SUV when the Secret Service refused to let him go to the Capitol after a rally at the Ellipse on #Jan6, 2021.

Some of the deposition focused on #Republican anger at revelations that the Smith team had obtained, & analyzed, phone records of #GOP lawmakers who were in contact with #Trump on #Jan6. Smith defended the maneuver as lawful & by-the-book, & suggested that outrage over the tactic should be directed at Trump & not his team of prosecutors. [IOW don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time]

The communications between #Trump & #Republican supporters in #Congress were an important component of the case, Smith said. He cited an interview his office did with #MarkMeadows in which Trump’s former chief of staff referenced that Rep. #JimJordan, an Ohio Republican & current chairman of the #House #Judiciary Committee, had been in touch with the White House on the afternoon of the “riot”.

#law #JackSmith #Jan6 #insurrection #criminal #conspiracy

“And what I recall was Meadows stating that ‘I’ve never seen Jim Jordan scared of anything,’ & the fact that we were in this different situation now where people were scared really made it clear that what was going on at the Capitol could not be mistaken for anything other than what it was,” Smith said.
