Former Trump aide Griffin: What Trump said about '9 barrels shooting at Liz Cheney' chills women to the bone. We think about our kids hearing that. We think about having to explain that to them. Women are sick of his rhetoric

[Max Boot 🇺🇦🇺🇸 @MaxBoot]

Bolton is right. Stop pretending that Trump’s fantasy about having “guns trained on [Liz Cheney’s] face” is a foreign policy critique. It’s wish fulfillment. It’s what Trump wants to see done to a courageous conservative who has called out his attacks on the rule of law.

A century ago, Germany’s democracy was hijacked by a bombastic and charismatic tyrant — and in this five-minute video, you’ll learn how he did it. Why did I produce this? Because I believe that history is speaking to us, and all too often, those who refuse to learn from it are doomed to repeat it.

As you watch, imagine filling out a Bingo card filled with Germany 1933/USA 2024 parallels: big rallies, rage-filled and hateful rhetoric, simple answers promising quick and easy solutions to complicated problems, empty promises of a great-again future, scapegoating outsiders, and political enemies silenced on day one. And notice the caring wisdom and concern from my German friends as they share these lessons from their dark history.

It’s hard to understand how Trump could, on the eve of a tight election, paint a picture of Liz Cheney before a firing squad by actually saying, “Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, OK? And let’s see how she feels about it when the guns are trained on her face.” You can’t get into the mind of a dictator with an insatiable appetite for power — but you can recognize the playbook they all seem to follow.

Just watch this clip. It’s excerpted from my hourlong public television special “The Story of Fascism in Europe,” which is streaming free (and ad-free) at https://t.co/YA10kVH0V8. If you care about our democracy and love our country, it’s hard to stop watching.

When I produced this in 2018, I hoped this day would never come in our country. But November 5th is upon us. Please share this with anyone in your life who might need a reminder that the stakes are high...and this is very real.

WSJ reports that the National Archives museum has removed references to Martin Luther King, Japanese internment, Native Americans, union organizers, and birth control, because presenting American history honestly would make Republicans uncomfortable https://t.co/CznEIKHGMh

There are more of us than them. Vote!

To all my UES Jewish friends who support Trump and #MAGA; claiming #Trump is better for the Jewish people and #Israel than @KamalaHQ…this is who and what you are supporting. Welcome to Palm Beach!!! #MazelYouMorons

[Damaan, AKA 'Philly's Finest!' @Damaan4u33]

100%, unequivocally, it should have been---THE END of Donald Trump!! Do you agree? Yes or No?

[George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 @gtconway3d]

Someone should set up a tournament bracket on here consisting of all the bad things other Republicans have said about Trump and we can all vote on the matchups and call the competition “October Madness”

@DavidCornDC What is that in his ear? A hearing aide?

@Osborne__Cox @RonFilipkowski That wasn’t Ave Maria. It was, ironically, Time to Say Goodbye.

A comment from a psychologist and neuroscientist who teaches at Georgetown 👉

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

Gov. Walz: We just found out Trump had his branded Bibles printed in China. This dude will even outsource God. But hey, I don’t blame Trump for not noticing the ‘Made in China’ sticker. They put them on the inside, a part of the Bible that he’s never looked at

[George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 @gtconway3d]

those two guys from Corinth would get quite a chuckle out of this

[George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 @gtconway3d]

.@realDonaldTrump is everything we tell our children not to be.

[Badd Company @BaddCompani]

I'll tell you what got him this way, Vladimir Putin. He owes a debt he can no longer pay and the weight of that is destroying his mind!

Putin just called him out on a lie, oops!

To be honest, I think I said a while back that Putin knows Trump won't win, they both know and Trump will get the short end of the stick🤷‍♂️
