@LevineJonathan @JackOsbourne Why would this observation be important to you?

@wesnichols Now is not the time for a Blame Game. Once the fires are abatted an analysis will be done. Be grateful for responders risking their lives.

@acnewsitics There is no valid issue!

Wow.

This ad is very powerful. Puts into perspective the historic danger that Trump poses to America.

Please watch and share 🎥 from @VoteVets:

Rigged Elections seems to be Trump's mantra!
From ABC News.
On election night in 2012 ...Trump said that the election was a "total sham" and a "travesty," Trump even wrote on Twitter, "We can't let this happen. We should march on Washington and stop this travesty."

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

It would be a real shame if this tweet by Elon Musk (in 2022) saying that Trump is too old to be president went viral.

You know what to do.

This is an ad that Fox News refused to air.
Please retweet.

[Protect Kamala Harris ✊ @DisavowTrump20]

🚨NEW: Former GOP Congressman Mickey Edwards has endorsed Kamala Harris for President. A former leader of the Heritage Foundation and American Conservative Union, this is a big win for Harris.

RETWEET to thank Edwards for putting country over party!

@AdeptusHominus @ProjectLincoln Totally false, get your Facts straight.

[BLotus @bmdrenik]

@robreiner I disagree. Biden has accomplished more in 4 years than other presidents. He has integrity and has earned the respect of the international community. We should be thanking him for his service, not kicking him to the curb after one bad debate. Dems best chance is to back Biden!

@LakotaMan1 @RpsAgainstTrump That’s an insult to the Butthole Surfers!

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

A British writer penned the best description of Donald Trump I’ve ever read:

“Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?”

A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.

Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever. I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman. But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty.

Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers. And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness.

There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface. Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege.

And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead. There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless – and he kicks them when they are down.

So the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think ‘Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that:

• Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are.

• You don’t need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man.

This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss. After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum.

God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump.

And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish: ‘My God… what… have… I… created?' If being a twat was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set.”

You don’t have to take my word for it, but maybe you’ll listen to Obama.
