"How Far Trump Would Go." @EricCortellessa scores two interviews with Donald Trump for @TIME, asking him to explain what he'd do in a second term. Read here: https://t.co/qoOpCGB6qP
A synopsis:
There is no cavalry coming. No miracle solution. No saviors.
In the end, we, the American people - not any of our institutions - have to save our democracy by voting in defense of that democracy this fall.
We are the cavalry. The responsibility is ours.
1939 Nazi Germany mob mentality infests Yale University as rabid antisemites don't allow an Orthodox Jewish student to pass.
Recognize any of them?
Let us know!
DM's open.

A Maga troll asked me to list specifically what policies of Trump I was against, I guess assuming that I wouldn’t be able to name any. I knew it was a poor use of time to share directly with him, but I couldn’t help myself. Luckily I saved to share with you all. Could go on all day but I wanted to start somewhere and see if you guys would share and/or add on more!
1. Unlimited immunity for presidents
2. Tax incentives that encourage off shoring of manufacturing jobs
4. Giving companies tax subsidies anyway even after they offshore the jobs
3. Tariff war that leads to farm bankruptcy and farmer suicides
4. Interference of women’s health care between she and her doctor
5. Presenting a budget every year to cut social security and Medicare
6. Blackmailing Saudi Arabia in to flooding the market with oil to bankrupt hundreds of small US oil and gas producers and cost us tens of thousands of oil and gas layoffs all to save 7 cents a gallon on gas to make himself look good
7. Getting rid of the COPS program
8. Killing the TPP to benefit China
9. Pulling the pandemic response team out of China prior to Covid and cutting
Security funding for the labs
10. Withdrawing from the Paris accords
11. Withdrawing from the Iran nuclear deal
12. Allowing Iran to sell oil by lifting sanctions
13. Trying to repeal the affordable care act with no viable replacement, despite promising for years that one was coming in 2 weeks
14. Encouraging NATO allies to be attacked by Russia if they don’t spend enough of their GDP on defense
15. A xenophobic total travel ban from primarily Islamic countries
16. Permanent tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations but ones that sunset over ten years for individuals and eventually raise taxes on the bottom 50%
17. Privately acknowledging the severity of Covid 19 and then publicly saying it was no big deal and would magically go away
18. Ending DACA
19. “Zero tolerance policy” that separated families at the border
20. The same oil crash above causing refineries to close which is why we’re still a million barrels a day short on refining capacity to this day
21. The 2020 2 year oil production cut deal with Russia and OPEC which not only caused skyrocketing gas prices for us but also made Saudi aramco the largest company in the world
Please continue!

@jemelehill@notcapnamerica They just want to make money. Has to seem like a close race to keep people tuned in. Pleas vote and save democracy for the next generation.
Tucker Carlson, when asked about Alexei Navalny, opposition leaders and journalists in Russia: “Every leader kills people. Some kill more than others. Leadership requires killing people.”
@MattForVA Ummm…it’s to replace the money they won’t be getting from gas tax…which is used to pay for road maintenance…which EV cars drive on. No money grab. Just common sense. Unless your EV is flying you should want to pay for good roads, right?
