Donald Trump says he is going to be a dictator if he wins in November. That may fly in Russia, but here in America we don’t lick anyone’s boots. Vote Kamala Harris, and show that orange coward that America still believes in freedom and democracy.

If you wouldn’t want your kids to say it, your President shouldn’t either.

Here's my message to young people: you wouldn't let a bunch of old people decide what music you're going to listen to or what clothes you're going to wear – so don't let them decide your future.

The historical origins of popular English phrases

Thread 🧵

1. Close But No Cigar

Meaning: Said to someone who falls slightly short of a successful outcome

Historical Context: The phrase originated from traveling fairs & carnivals during the 1800s, when cigars were given out as prizes to games.

As many carnival games seem designed to feel winnable, but then are nearly impossible to actually win, people were often said to be, "close, but no cigar."

[Bill Madden @maddenifico]

Trump made the Scots the usual promises. Although the locals were wise to the grifting conman, the politicians saw the loathsome piece of shit as someone who'd stimulate the economy and were quick to buy-in on the serial lying psychopath's scam. Guess who ended up being right? 👇

Congratulations! Aggie Pride!!

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Donald Trump is not thinking about you. He only sees power as a means to his ends. America is ready to turn the page.

Superb. I’ve been instructed already in The Shropshire ‘No,’ but so much of this rings true, @VictoriaShrop

These grandkids planned to surprise their grandma at the airport dressing as t-rex but she heard about it and planned her own surprise.

[Walter M. Kimbrough @HipHopPrez]

Because there was no #NABJfactcheck, this egregious lie went unchallenged. The veto proof bill he signed, replacing the money he zeroed out, represents about 7% of all HBCU federal funding- that's it. PLUS, that same program was funded for 10 years under Obama.

BREAKING: Vice President Kamala Harris just provided the clearest explanation of what Donald Trump’s Project 2025 is and why all Americans need to reject it at the ballot box. Retweet so all Americans see this critical video.
