Every time I think I couldn't be more disgusted by trump, I am proven wrong.
Remember the story about him calling fallen veterans "losers" and "suckers?"
This one is somehow WORSE: In an article from The Atlantic, General Mark Milley selected a wounded veteran, Luis Avila, to sing "God Bless America."
Avila lost his leg in an IED attack during his 5 combat tours, in addition to suffering two strokes, two heart attacks and brain damage resulting from his injuries.
After the performance, Trump told Milley “Why do you bring people like that here? No one wants to see that, the wounded,” and suggested Milley never let him appear in public again -- he said that within earshot of several witnesses.
We CANNOT let that scumbag back into the White House. He is a lowlife of the lowest order.
He is a humiliating skid mark on the underwear of American history.
NEVER AGAIN.
BREAKING: Senator John Fetterman chokes up while giving a powerfully moving speech about the struggles that people with disabilities face during a hearing of the Senate Special Committee on Aging.
During the most striking moment in his speech, Fetterman held up his phone to show everyone in the room the specialized transcription app that aids him in conversations and interactions after he suffered a stroke last year that damaged his ability to efficiently process language.
"Because I live in a political environment, I was ridiculed and made fun of," said Fetterman, growing visibly emotional.
"I’m so sorry that I’m sure many of you had to go through this kind of thing," he went on. "I was lucky enough to go through my life, the vast majority of that, without this kind of disability that I have."
"I admire everyone that has to kind of live with these kind of struggles, and prevail over them," he added.
Fetterman asked how the Senate can "become more empathetic, more responsive and more effective senators, to provide the kind of support and services" that disabled Americans “deserve.”
Speaking so earnestly about his own stroke takes real courage. Republicans were absolutely heartless about his health scare, trotting out cruel mockeries and smears in an effort to hurt him politically. Fetterman is a hero.
Please retweet and ❤️ if you stand with John Fetterman — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a “woke” new Twitter competitor that is exploding in popularity because it banned Trump for life and because Elon Musk banned Tribel’s Twitter account — but he forgot to ban this link to download the new Tribel app: https://t.co/HnJzSKjCwX
Kristen Welker, a woman of color, chose to interview a twice impeached, four times indicted criminal rapist ex-president, instead of one of the outstanding WOC that would have jumped at the opportunity. She did a huge disservice to all women. When she could’ve gained respect and highlighted a real changemaker, she instead choose someone who has zero respect for her, law, or our democracy. She crushed her career on day 1.
Respectfully, quit complaining about media outlets interviewing Trump. They have to interview him. He’s the leader of the Republican Party, he’s going to be the 2024 GOP nominee, and he has a decent chance of being president again. You have to interview him.
But he’s a pathological liar. If you’re going to interview him, you better interview him well. You better be tough & unsparing. You better treat him like the unique threat he is, and you better call out every single lie. Otherwise, it’s pointless to interview him.
BREAKING: Married South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem has been having a years-long affair with married Trump advisor Corey Lewandowski.
The governor has frequently touted "traditional marriage" and her "family values." https://t.co/TXvcyft3I8
BREAKING: Hunter Biden gained 41 trademarks in China, made $640 million while “working” in daddy’s administration, and received $2 billion from the people behind 9/11.
Now that I got Republicans’ attention. That was actually Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump.
BREAKING: Hunter Biden has just been indicted on felony gun charges in Delaware, connected to his possession of a gun while lying about his drug use.
Republicans would normally be apoplectic about someone's second amendment rights being "infringed" upon, but because this is a Democratic President's son, they will rejoice at this news.
Democrats will correctly maintain that nobody is above the law, even a President's son.
His father, President Biden, will not intervene.
It should be noted that out of 112,000 cases in which people were denied for lying on background checks in the past, only 12 were prosecuted. Would Hunter be prosecuted if his last name weren't Biden?
Good job, Merrick Garland. Your weakness has orchestrated the indictment of a private citizen trying to overcome drug addiction so Republicans can try to hit a bank shot off of him to his loving father, all because you were afraid of looking "political" to Fox News viewers.
🚨 Democrats, please watch this video clip to HRC responding to questions about President Biden's age. THIS IS HOW YOU ANSWER THIS NONSENSE:
⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️
“When people say to me — well, he’s old — yeah that’s right, but look at what he’s gotten done and then if that’s still not enough for you, look at the alternative, a wrecking crew .”
Last year, 30 Republicans voted against the 'Fairness for 9/11 Families Act' that provided compensation and relief to victims and their surviving family members including widows and dependent children.
Today, they have the nerve to tweet 'never forget.'

25 House Republicans voted AGAINST 9/11 victims' families to get more support -- and yet pretend to #NeverForget.

🇺🇸 I don't know about you, but I'm a little tired of all the faux outrage from Republicans over President Biden not being at one of the 9/11 sites today.
A couple important points:
1. President Biden wasn't there today because he logistically couldn't be. He attended the G20 in India and then had a significant meeting in Vietnam that just concluded earlier today. The result of these meetings has made America stronger internationally, something we should all celebrate on this hallowed day.
2. President Biden has probably attended more events at Ground Zero, the Pentagon, and Shanksville than ANY other national figure ever has, seeing he was VP for 8 years and POTUS for 3 years now. (pictured below) His message has always been crystal clear: "We never bow, we never bend, we never yield'. He doesn't need a lecture from anyone. Especially from a jackass who bragged about his building now being the tallest after the Towers were attacked.
This day should be a day to celebrate our unity and resilience as a nation. Unfortunately, to Republicans, it seems it is just another day to level phony attacks on our president. That's the real shame of it all.
