Republicans almost uniformly oppose funding for FEMA.
Yet when a natural disaster happens in their state, they not only come running for FEMA assistance but they have the gall to complain about how quickly they are getting that assistance.
GOP hypocrisy knows no bounds.
Mark my words; the day is coming very soon when Trump will say it out loud and tell his followers that if he isn't declared the winner, they must take matters into their own hands. Bookmark this tweet.
(And when he does, if Merrick Garland has any integrity at all, he arrests the motherf*cker and jails him, requesting that the judge hold him until his trial: No Bail.)
Donald trump has been running for office since the day he left the White House.
He's had the advantage of time, grifted money, and his own reality-challenged right-wing propaganda "news" machine.
Kamala Harris has only been running since July 21st.
In that short period of time, she has:
- raised half a BILLION dollars
- corralled a diverse coalition of support
- gotten endorsements from MOST of the living former Presidents, and former trump staffers
- DESTROYED trump in debate
- put together her own agenda
- passed or tied trump in MOST of the polls
She is getting stuff done, quickly and efficiently.
THAT'S who I want as my President.
@DocAtCDI@srfrgrl1959 And way too many police forces will turn a blind eye. The Electoral College has ruined our national voting process, and state fake electors are still in charge, or involved in key election apparatus. It's deep.
I live in a "swing state," the only place where any votes seem to count according to people who defend the electoral college.
My daughter is a county clerk; she is in charge of handling elections for a large county in Michigan.
The FBI came in and told her to shut down all her social media, and if she couldnโt, to remove all references to family and change her name.
No one in her office is allowed to open any mail without gloves and a mask. They have armed security when they enter and leave the city building. They receive 2-3 letters a day filled with white powder (so far, flour or powdered sugar).
Please donโt think weโve got this under control. There is LITERALLY a war going on, quietly, waged by domestic terrorists, to take away your right to have your voice heard.
This woman, who I canโt name because her life is in danger, goes into combat every single day to try to protect your right to have your voice heard!
Donโt let her down.
This is probably going to tick some people off, and I hope it does. But Iโm going to keep on saying it. And once again, I am a human being, a Mom who believes in humanity.
I am extremely disappointed in so many of you who think that "not being a fan" of someone means you're entitled to shit all over them.
I want to remind you of something.
Your children are watching you complain about Taylor Swift sitting at a football game, being happy, and cheering for a man she loves in what appears to be a very loving, respectful relationship.
Your Children are watching you judge a woman for literally just EXISTING and taking up space happily.
And you know what? Ms. Swift has won 324 awards? How many do you have?
She brought $5 BILLION dollars in consumer spending and boosted the U. S. economy so significantly, that leaders from other countries actually beg for her to play there?
Did you know that there are over 20 college courses about her skills as an artist, lyricist, and musician - including at places like Harvard, Stanford & UC Berkeley?
Did you know that Taylor Swift quietly donates mass amounts of money to local food banks in every city she performs in?
AND DID YOU KNOW โฆ
That Taylor Swift was sexually assaulted by a radio DJ, and she got him fired? When he sued HER for over $3 million for defamation, she counter sued for a symbolic $1 in a court case that took 2 YEARS for her to win. And, she did that just to show women that fighting for what's right has no price tag & to never be silent in the face of oppression.
WELL IF YOU DONโT CARE BY NOW, YOU SHOULD.
Because your daughters, nieces, and your nephews are watching you run your mouth. And they are seeing the world hate a woman who does so much good, simply because she exists in their line of sight.
DO BETTER PEOPLE.
Teach your boys to respect women. Teach your girls that as women - they are ALLOWED to take up space.
Fix it. Become aware of your words. Because we all have the ability and the obligation to fight for the future of our children with simple moments. And we need to consciously choose to be better for them.
