    This exact same thing has already happened before. Dude is not good at making passwords.

    https://www.dutchnews.nl/news/2020/09/youre-fired-dutch-hackers-broke-into-trumps-twitter-account-in-2016/
    Three Dutch hackers broke into Donald Trump’s Twitter account shortly before he became president in 2016 by guessing his password was ‘yourefired’, magazine Vrij Nederland reported this week.

    The hackers, named as Edwin, Mattijs and Victor by the magazine, used a leaked list of LinkedIn accounts from 2012 to target Trump, then a presidential candidate and then warn him in an email that they had broken in.

    When I was waiting in line to vote the people in front of me were talking about Q-anon stuff and its way weirder hearing people talk about that shit in person when you can gear the conviction in their voice.

    Not to diminish Trump's dumbassery, but you'd figure that Twitter, knowing they are shepherd for the account of arguably the most powerful person in the world and who is notoriously volatile, would like, send an email or something when they detect a new login.

    I doubt Trump pays much attention to his email alerts.

    I've also heard the recent 'hack' was a load of made up bollocks, so I'm waiting to get some serious confirmation on that one.

    Could the Dems in the Senate actually do anything to stop the Republicans from placing Barrett on the Court?

    They could've tried another impeachment a while earlier, but as it goes.

    what would that do? Assuming it went through the House again, couldn't Mitch just put the trial/vote whenever it suited him, i.e. after the confirmation?

    Not just email alerts, but email authorization. Many services will require you to check your email and authorize if you're initiating a new login session even if you didn't explicitly setup MFA. I would assume this is like the most bottom-of-the-barrel minimum effort for the account for the fucking President of the United States, and kinda baffled that my Twitch account account seemingly has more thorough security.

    (Of course, your email could very well likely have the same password anyway, so you know...)

    Assuming this all checks out anyway.

    Apparently it is law that any impeachment proceedings have to be fully taken care of before a number of other actions can be undertaken, supreme court nominations included.

    In theory, it was a surefire option to stall it until they could undo it. My bet is that there was a collective fear of doing so, in that it would seem petty to folks who aren't privy to how shitty the Republicans are being.

    mitch could hold an up down vote on impeachment 10 minutes after the house finished if he wanted.

    the only actual rule in the senate is that the majority makes the rules.

    Despite some admittedly half-assed googling, I really don't know if there is anyway to stop a supreme court nom in the Senate

    I guess the House could have impeached Trump again, but there's no way any of the GOP senators would have voted for it this time either

    It's already an illegitimate process

    There's not. My understanding is that while impeachment hearings have to go forward, there's time each day before and after hearings that things could be done, and while there's other procedural bullshit that can be done (some of which they have done), there's literally nothing that can prevent the majority from rewriting the rules however they want to force a vote through.

    Right now the thing that is pissing me off is any news source who says she made it out of committee unanimously when Dems did one of said procedural bullshits and didn't show up and Reps just had a vote anyway.

    It's kind of incredible how Reps will steamroll right over any procedural rules they feel like and say the exact opposite of the thing they said even a week beforehand and the media just never makes a big deal out of it.

    Twitter definitely has email alerts for new logins (I get them all the time from a business account I share) but I think you have to actually sign-up for two-factor? Which makes sense that Trump would not have because it’d slow him down from being able to vomit on the internet at-will.
