History recognizes actions that are bigger than self. Joe Biden will go down as one of the great ones, having led the country out of the disastrous term of his predecessor and quietly doing good things for all Americans, red state as well as blue, accomplishments that put him up there, in terms of legislative action, with LBJ and FDR. Joe, I can’t imagine where we’d be without your selfless service.

@zava55 @4HumanUnity @JoeBiden I just did. Every line.

Think your Project 2025 will work? It failed miserably for 1940s world, Germany and it will fail you now. We need to make America grateful again. The American people deserve far better than this convicted felon.

If Trump is re-elected, expect a regression not to 1776 but to the 1760s, complete with taxation without representation. Save your money, sharpen your manual labor skills, and prepare to lose healthcare and social security, as society splits by class and with robots, you'll find yourselves competing with AI. Canada and Mexico, consider revising your asylum laws, as many Americans might seek your sanctuary. Under King Trump, expect state sell-offs to Putin. Start learning Russian and get accustomed to cheap vodka.

𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓: Project 2025, backed by The Heritage Foundation and endorsed by Donald Trump, is a central Republican strategy for 2024. This comprehensive plan aims to reshape the federal government according to conservative principles, dangerously centralizing executive power and sidelining Congress. Historical parallels, such as Nazi Germany, warn of its authoritarian potential.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐄𝐱𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐏𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫: Vought's plan emphasizes executive power while bypassing Congress, mirroring Hitler's use of the Enabling Act of 1933, which allowed his government to enact laws without the Reichstag's consent. This erodes the constitutional separation of powers and checks and balances.⁣⁣⁣
•𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐎𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐋𝐨𝐲𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐬: Vought aims to staff the government with Trump loyalists, akin to how Nazis replaced civil servants and judges with party members, compromising the impartiality and independence of the civil service and judiciary.⁣⁣⁣
•𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐁𝐨𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐬: Vought's intention to dismantle the "administrative state" targets essential regulatory agencies, much like the Nazi process of Gleichschaltung, which brought all aspects of German society under their control.⁣⁣⁣
•𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐋𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐥 𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: Vought's team is preparing legal justifications to expand executive power, similar to Nazi legal theorists who advocated for the Nazification of German law, violating constitutional norms.⁣⁣⁣
•𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐈𝐝𝐞𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐓𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐬: Vought's plan is influenced by conservative think tanks, just as Nazi policies were shaped by racist and authoritarian ideologies.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Russ Vought’s plan fundamentally betrays the principle of putting America first. By seeking to concentrate executive power, bypass Congress, and dismantle essential regulatory agencies, Vought places personal and partisan interests above the nation’s welfare. His agenda undermines the integrity of the federal workforce, politicizes governance, and destroys public trust in democratic institutions. This strategy paves the way for autocratic rule, sacrificing the very foundations of American democracy for authoritarian control. Vought’s vision jeopardizes the nation's stability and prosperity, putting America last and prioritizing power over the people.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣
For anyone who believes his lies about not supporting Project 2025:

There are several areas where Donald Trump's policies and campaign speeches align with aspects of Project 2025, despite Trump publicly lying and trying to distance himself from the project. Here are the key alignments:

Expanding Executive Power: Trump campaigns on vastly expanding executive authority over the federal government, aligning with Project 2025's goal of consolidating executive power.

Restructuring Federal Workforce: Trump proposes implementing the "Jacksonian spoils system" to replace government employees. Similarly, Project 2025 suggests reclassifying tens of thousands of federal civil service workers as political appointees to replace them with loyalists.

Immigration Policies: Trump advocates for anti-immigrant policies and a massive deportation operation. This aligns with Project 2025's focus on defending national borders and sovereignty.

"America First" Foreign Policy: Trump promotes an isolationist "America First" agenda, in line with Project 2025's emphasis on national sovereignty.

Anti-Regulatory Stance: Trump intends to institute anti-regulatory policies, aligning with Project 2025's goal of dismantling the "administrative state."

Social and Cultural Issues: Trump leans into nativist and anti-LGBT rhetoric, corresponding with Project 2025's aim to infuse government and society with conservative Christian values.

Education Reforms: Trump proposes terminating the Department of Education, while Project 2025 suggests decentralizing its authority.

Energy and Environmental Policies: Trump pursues a climate change denial and anti-clean energy platform, aligning with Project 2025's likely stance on energy deregulation.

If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.

American people deserve better than TFG

Trump stiffed hardworking contractors, knowing they couldn't afford prolonged legal battles. Republicans did nothing about it.

His Trump University misled veterans and everyday people, resulting in millions in fines. Republicans did nothing about it.

He used $250 million from your donations as his "defense" fund to cover personal expenses. Republicans did nothing about it.

He manipulated elderly supporters by quietly setting up recurring donations, draining their bank accounts. Republicans did nothing about it.

I mean who steals money from a children's cancer charity? Republicans did nothing about it.

At last, he's facing consequences for trying to undermine U.S. democracy by pulling all stops to snatch an election he knew was lost. He even went to the extent of calling for the dismantling of the U.S. Constitution, which he vowed to defend. Republicans did nothing about it.

If you still believe he's innocent, the problem isn't with him; it's you. You are in a cult. Republicans did nothing about this cult-like following.

Several of Donald Trump's former Cabinet members and close allies have openly declared they won't support him in future elections, each providing their own reasons for this stance. Here's a quick rundown of their views:

Mike Pence: The ex-Vice President isn't endorsing Trump for the 2024 race, pointing to "profound differences" that go beyond their January 6 disagreement, including Trump's views on TikTok, abortion, and national debt management.

John Bolton: The former National Security Adviser won't vote for Trump or Biden, planning to choose a conservative Republican instead. He's voiced concerns over Trump's suitability for office and his foreign policy moves.

James Mattis: The former Defense Secretary has critiqued Trump for dividing Americans and questioned his leadership and its impact on national unity.

Mark Esper: Trump's second Defense Secretary considers him unfit for office, citing Trump's self-interest and lack of integrity.

Rex Tillerson: The ex-Secretary of State has been critical of Trump's grasp on global events and history, suggesting he's unprepared and uninformed.

John Kelly: Trump's longest-serving Chief of Staff has criticized Trump's personality and leadership style.

Mick Mulvaney: The former Chief of Staff prefers someone else as the GOP nominee, doubting Trump's chances against Biden in a general election.

Dan Coats: The former Director of National Intelligence is backing Mike Pence in the GOP primary over Trump.

Jeff Sessions: Despite supporting Trump's agenda, the former Attorney General has had conflicts with Trump, especially over the Russia investigation and his recusal from it.

Olivia Troye: A former Pence advisor, Troye has slammed Trump's COVID-19 response, accusing him of putting reelection before public health.

Miles Taylor: Describing his time in the Trump administration as "terrifying," the former DHS chief of staff has endorsed Biden, citing Trump's threat to the country.

Elizabeth Neumann: The ex-Assistant Secretary for Counterterrorism at DHS has accused Trump of worsening the domestic terrorism threat and declared her vote for Biden.

Anthony Scaramucci: The short-lived White House Communications Director supports Biden, critiquing Trump's leadership and policies.

These individuals cite various concerns about Trump's leadership, policy decisions, integrity, and the negative effects on the country's unity and security as reasons for withdrawing their support for his future political endeavor!

If these individuals, all handpicked by you, refuse to vote for you, then why should anyone believe anything you say?

Trump's other 'achievements':

-Gave over $1.7 TRILLION (5 times student relief) in tax breaks to the ultrarich. Republicans did nothing about the inequality it exacerbated.

$7.8 TRILLION added to the deficit. Nothing but 8 miles of new wall Mexico was supposed to pay. Republicans did nothing about this fiscal irresponsibility.

-Taxpayers overpaid for his secret service $1200 per night staying at his properties. Republicans did nothing about this profiteering.

-Gave Taliban their leader & 5K soldiers, with no exit plan for May 2021. Republicans did nothing about this strategic blunder.

-His campaign chair, NSA chief & others were indicted/pardoned. Republicans did nothing about this corruption.

-Called himself THE CHOSEN1! :)). Republicans did nothing about this messianic complex.

-Pleaded the 5th 440 times. Republicans did nothing about this evasion of accountability.

-Took over $250 million from his supporters when he left office for "Defense Fund" to pay his own personal bills. Republicans did nothing about this exploitation.

-Stole our national secrets for who knows why. Many top secret empty folders. Republicans did nothing about this breach of national security.

-Met with Putin with no recordings. Republicans did nothing about this lack of transparency.

Trump's Taxing Concerns in China: The New York Times unveiled Trump paying over $188,000 in taxes to China between 2013-2015, while maintaining an undisclosed bank account there. He paid more taxes to China than in the U.S. Spot the issue? Republicans did nothing about this financial conflict of interest.

Shady Transactions Post White House: His son-in-law, despite failing a White House security clearance, received $3.1 billion from a foreign government right after leaving office. Questions, anyone? Republicans did nothing about these dubious dealings.

Allegations of Trump's Criminal Acts: Republicans did nothing about these numerous allegations of criminal misconduct.

Trump's Ties to Russia: Republicans did nothing about these troubling connections and implications for national security.

4th Indictment Against Trump: Republicans did nothing about these accusations of election tampering and abuse of power.

-Obstructing an Official Proceeding: Accused of hindering Congress's January 6 certification of election results. Republicans did nothing about this direct threat to our democratic process.

-Obstruction of Official Proceeding: Alleged to have impeded certification by pressuring Pence and inciting the Capitol riot. Republicans did nothing about this dangerous escalation of political tension.

-Conspiracy Against Rights: Accused of intimidating election officials and disenfranchising voters. Republicans did nothing about these serious threats to voter rights.

Second Indictment Highlights: -Knowledge and Intent: Accused of withholding subpoenaed documents, suggesting possible illegal intent. Republicans did nothing about this obstruction of justice.

-Obstruction of Justice: Allegedly kept unauthorized documents hidden from the National Archives. Republicans did nothing about this breach of protocol.

-Evidence Depth: Varied evidence indicates illegal document acquisition and concealment attempts. Republicans did nothing about these potentially criminal actions.

Additional Notes: -Document Selection: The 31 indictment documents were likely chosen for relevance. Republicans did nothing to address the significance of these selections.

We can and do deserve better than these DO-NOTHING Republicans with their America First slogan. Our diversity is our STRENGTH, not a flaw. Republicans did nothing to embrace or celebrate this diversity, instead often standing in opposition to it.

.@JoeBiden Thank you, Mr. President. Your exemplary leadership has been instrumental in unifying and advancing our nation. You've tackled healthcare, climate change, and international diplomacy with unwavering resolve. Your administration has eased inflation's impact on families, achieved record employment, and improved domestic productivity. Affordable healthcare and prescription drugs, thanks to your policies, have significantly benefited Americans.

You secured marriage equality protections and enacted the most substantial gun safety legislation in decades. Your commitment to red flag laws and anti-violence initiatives has bolstered national security. The Chips and Science Act and initiatives like the FORMULA Act have advanced American innovation and addressed critical supply chain issues.

Your $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill and the $370 billion climate change initiative demonstrate your comprehensive approach to governance. Your presidency will be remembered for its humanity and integrity, setting a standard for future leaders.

Vice President Kamala Harris, we are behind you 💯%:

The first woman, Vice President, has been pivotal in legislative successes, including the decisive vote for the Inflation Reduction Act and the first meaningful gun safety law in three decades. She has championed reproductive freedoms, voting rights, and infrastructure improvements.

Her extensive experience as District Attorney, Attorney General, U.S. Senator, and Vice President has equipped her with a profound understanding of legal, legislative, and executive functions. She has represented the U.S. internationally, strengthening global alliances and showcasing her foreign policy acumen.

President Biden has affirmed Harris's readiness for the presidency, highlighting her qualifications and dedication. Her historic election and impactful leadership make her an outstanding candidate, poised to continue leading the nation toward a brighter future. WE GOT YOUR BACK!

@JoeBiden Mr. President, thank you for your 40+ years of service to the United States. You have always put the country first and continue to do so.

Best take I've seen so far in regards to Trump's assination attempt.

[Keith Olbermann @KeithOlbermann]

CNN's decision to abrogate its journalistic responsibilities by not fact checking Trump's firehose of lies is unforgivable.

This debate is Biden vs the tag team of Trump and CNN's utter failure as a news organization

He’s pretty - but you can’t take him anywhere. Male painted buntings are absurdly territorial and signal to others with crouches, the fluffiness of body feathers, and flamboyant fluttering of the wings. (it’s real intimidating in the bird world just trust us on this one)

Since 2007, private health insurance companies spent $141 billion on stock buybacks. During that same time, the cost of the average family health insurance plan skyrocketed by 86% to $22,463 a year while average premiums soared by over $4,300. Yes. We need #MedicareForAll.
