The evening Trump was impeached for inciting insurrection, but before the Senate vote on whether to convict him, he vowed that those who "engaged in the attacks last week will be brought to justice." That is, those he now calls "hostages" & "political prisoners" & vows to pardon.
When he says your kids are being forced to get sex change operations in school...or that migrants are eating your pets...or that FEMA is your enemy...or a thousand other absurd claims he wants you to believe...
Step back for a minute.
Forget what he's saying to you.
Focus on what he's saying ABOUT you.
He's saying you're gullible.
That you lack critical thinking skills.
That you're an idiot.
That you'll dance to his tune when he feeds your prejudice. When he preys on your fears.
That he can manipulate you. For your money. For your vote.
He isn't a president.
He is a predator.
Predators do not belong in the White House.
@BradMossEsq@atrupar The difference is that if he lets her answer, people will actually hear what she says.. He will look bad as will Fox. They don’t want anyone to hear who smart she is.
EXCLUSIVE: Trump ally Roger Stone told us he wants to send armed guards to dispute the election in Detroit. He also wants to imprison former Attorney General Bill Barr if Trump returns to power.
There are also a lot of folks pretending like the federal government hasn’t mobilized every agency they could.
Politicizing disasters is gross - it’s all hands on deck right now, and acting otherwise to score political points is insane.
Folks, we’ve been here before. We know how this will end. It’s no mystery what happens next.
I will never begrudge anyone who offers a good faith critique of elected officials, even ones I really love, because good faith criticism is essential to a healthy democracy.

@mikejwhelan No need to apologize. Keeping it all in never works. Those who are bothered by it, will find other things to be bothered by. At least, that’s been my experience.
If you weren’t worried or scared….?
Refutation of hoary Trump myth that none of 60+ judges who rejected his 2020 election lawsuits reached merits can be found here. (Research by Rich Levine for @judgeluttig et al.) https://t.co/wOQrU7KGZt
@JaredHuffman@JRubinBlogger Why are you not trying to unite the party? This was exactly what Maga wants. Did you miss the conspiracy when they said Biden was a puppet. If we lose this, you all played a part. Played right into maga hands when all u needed to do was unite people.
Biden: There is no place in America for this kind of violence. It's sick. It's sick. It is one of the reasons we have to unite this country. We cannot allow for this to be happening. We cannot be like this. We cannot condone this.
@rachelvscott You all were so rude running after all of them to get comments. So disgusting. While Trump has a coup plan. Same story everyday, as if there’s nothing else going on that’s important.
