Posting a request for help from community members who may have an active dead bird app account. I need a screenshot/s of a thread which was published three years ago:
Unfortunately I no longer have access to an active account and can’t see anything more than these two tweets. Pulling them into a threadreader app would be best if possible.
Really need them for a post I’m writing, much appreciate the assist. Please reply here if you can manage this so that others don’t duplicate the effort. :-)
And thanks for reminding me of that. Pretty good, from this morning:

Thanks very much for that, harpie.
You can see where I’m headed — some of the dates/items you’ve listed below are on the crowdsourced timeline when we first heard about a whistleblower back in 2019 and we didn’t know what the whistleblower’s report focused on.

Here’s a little TL I did [it is three years old, though]:
BREAKING: Milley just now acknowledges reporting that on Nov 11 [11/11/20] he received an unclassified signed order from Trump directly [sic?] the military to withdraw from Afghanistan by Jan. 15 [1/15/21].
“After further discussions… the order was rescinded.”
TRUMP fired Sec Def ESPER on 11/10/20.
Christopher MILLER became the new Sec Def.
[…] On November 10, Trump installed a clique of four loyalists at the Pentagon and NSA, several notches above their normal pay-grade.
He placed Ezra Cohen-Watnick (a former aide to Michael Flynn) as Acting Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security;
Anthony Tata as Acting Under Secretary of Defense for Policy;
Kash Patel as Chief of staff, Defense Department; and
Michael Ellis as General Counsel at NSA. This seemed to be a strategic move, but it wasn’t entirely clear why at the time. […]

If (when) Kamala is faced w/ another bogus question posed from someone like Dana Bash….for example asking her to respond to his recent BS comment:
“Your kid goes to school and comes home a few days late with an operation.”
[Read on Daily Kos, re: a dead bird message by Alex Cole]
When that happens, I hope Kamala expands on her prior response and goes for pity…”Isn’t it sad? And his family does not appear to care enough about him to do an intervention. Next question.”
