@excesstential @samlymatters Yeah, don’t ALL friends suggest the other is a disgusting pedophile who is illegally using government power to cover up that he’s a disgusting pedophile?

What buddies never once threaten the other with financial ruin/deportation through abuse of power? Happens all the time!

[Daniel Rankin @DanielRankin13]

@adammocklerr Yeah, but you don’t understand… he was making MONEY and being given POWER due to his connection to Trump.

If a kid is endangered, even if it’s HIS kid, so be it. He’ll make more of them, no problem. There’s money to be made and power to wield, and that’s his top priority.

If you are turned away at the polls, your response [verbatim] should be as follows: “Give me a provisional ballot with a receipt, as required by law.”

Pass it on.

@DaveHan06 I think if Trump loses, the Trump trials & sentencings will attract more threats / violence than the post-election stuff. Maybe wishful thinking, but 100s of Jan. 6thers receiving long prison sentences will scare off most except die hards. Esp. if he has 0 power to pardon them.

TRUMP JUST SAID HE WOULD CLOSE THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, AND DEFUND SCHOOLS THAT TEACH SLAVERY AND THE GENOCIDE OF NATIVE AMERICANS!!!

@TheStingisBack @RexChapman That’s why movies exist, really… to make us feel something. The best ones often sear themselves into memory, for better or worse.

Then along comes The Exorcist, effing up countless audiences. A rough ride, but one I’m sure all those people remember vividly/fondly years later.

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

This is a microcosm of the way Trump treats his followers. Make them miserable. Make them fearful. Make them suffer. Then blame the Democrats, the “deep state,” migrants…whoever is the scapegoat of the day.

As the coronavirus tore through the world in 2020, and the United States confronted a shortage of tests designed to detect the illness, then-President Donald Trump secretly sent coveted tests to Russian President Vladimir Putin for his personal use. https://t.co/TmOBpCtNQ0

[Eric Feigl-Ding @DrEricDing]

2) All the while, Trump basically told state leaders to go pound sand and buy the tests themselves. There was a worldwide shortage. But Trump prioritized Putin over everyday Americans.

[Daniel Rankin @DanielRankin13]

@MikeSington @TucsonBlonde He’s showing it to his best buddy Putin is what he’s doing.

🧵1/7: Fox News: The Disinformation Engine That Rewired and Ruined America

In the summer of 2001, while President George W. Bush was enjoying a break at his Texas ranch, America’s future was buried in a stack of ignored intelligence reports.

Among them, the now-infamous “Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S.” memo. The negligence was catastrophic, leading to 9/11—a tragedy that would forever alter the world.

But as the dust settled from the Twin Towers, another kind of threat was taking shape—not through terror, but through information, or rather, disinformation. Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News wasn’t merely informing the public; it was systematically bending reality, reshaping the world one half-truth at a time.

From the moment it launched, Fox News wasn’t interested in being a conservative counterweight to the so-called liberal media. It set out to create an alternate universe where facts were malleable, and the truth was whatever kept its audience hooked.

Think of it as a political reality show, except instead of roses, viewers were handed fear, outrage, and lies. It wasn’t about keeping the public informed; it was about keeping them addicted.

@KamalaHQ Whenever he pulls out “we’re looking into that, & we’ll have an announcement very soon,” you have to assume he wasn’t even listening to the question. His “answer” could pertain to 99% of policy questions he doesn’t know anything about bc he doesn’t care about governing at all.

WATCH: “Voting in White vs. Black neighborhoods”

Voter suppression is an art form in states like ours. It’s no accident that TN is at the bottom in turnout.
