@GottaLaff What galls me the most is that there’s enough people who want either a #rapist#dictator or an off-brand #MAGA worm-brain as head of this country. And many say we should take the high road and ‘listen to these people’s concerns’. For me, if you have either one of these on your bucket list for election, FU! #ElectionsMatter#NeverTrump
@cosvak That empty narrative is infamously known as the “Tweedle-Dee, Tweedle-Dumb,” “Not a dimes worth of difference,” “Both Sides are exactly the same,” theories. The stock in trade of Nader, Greenwald, Moore, Sarandon, Stein and RFK, Jr. It’s noise that only dispirits voters. Please don’t make more of it.
What is supposed to be a holding room for a former president’s security has, at their own admission, become a de facto campaign HQ . . . in a government building.
Olivia Nuzzi:
The #Trump campaign has moved its operational headquarters from West Palm Beach to a holding room inside Manhattan criminal court.
@GottaLaff Cameras not allowed IN the courtroom, shouldn’t be allowed in the holding area either. For that notion, maybe not in the building. Make them stand outside with all the noise, traffic, and people like the reporters. Mr victim always crying gets more preferential treatment than anyone. #crybabyTrump#nevertrump
Of course the Trump tax cuts were a giveaway to the rich. Republicans were told to pass it or abandon all hope of receiving further campaign donations. And naturally, they passed a bad law that made the rich richer and everyone else poorer. It did not provide any of the benefits Trump promised it would to the rest of the nation.
But he'll try to pass another one just like it if he's returned to power.
"If he [Trump] were any other person, he would have been sentenced to prison many times over with no real hope of release: Sexual assault. Decades of fraud. Attempted extortation of a foreign leader. Stealing classified documents. Flagrant acceptance of what very much looks like bribes. Attempting to overthrow democracy. Inciting a violent riot that got people killed."
We already know he's sold national security secrets to foreign interests and bragged about classified information in front of guests. How much more dangerous is he when he's this desperate?
Diaper Don's spokespeople are blaming the free market for his inability to secure a bond for his fraud appeal. Curiously, there is zero acknowledgement of the fact that he was CONVICTED OF FRAUD and has a reputation for refusing to pay people who work for him.
Remember when Secret Hitler came out and it was funny and silly and we said “it’s a good thing our system has open voting so when someone votes for fascism we know and can vote them out next time?”
Glad we don’t have any openly fascist candidates running for office this year. 😅
There was an app for the 2016 election called #NeverTrump that tried to do exactly this by means of "vote trading". Voters in swing states that wanted to vote 3rd party would get matched up with Californians willing to put in their "protest vote" in CA in exchange for voting Hillary in the swing state. Obviously it didn't work, but this isn't a new concept. The stakes are too high a third year in a row to fuck around.
