Children locked inside homes, families terrified, teachers and city officials afraid to go to work.

This is what we might expect in a town taken hostage by terrorists, in another country.

But the country is ours, the town is my family’s, and the terrorists are American. /1 🧵

Donald Trump is 78 years old and in a state of profound cognitive decline.

He should end his campaign immediately.

Retweet if you think that Trump is unfit to serve!

Hold the fuck on, hold the motherfucking fuck on a second… are people actually out there talking about a Trump win being “inevitable”?
You’re talking about the twice impeached, quadruply indicted, 34-times convicted, adjudicated rapist, business fraud who kept our national security secrets in his f’ng bathroom and wanted to see his VP hanged for not breaking democracy?
The sociopath who golfed while thousands of Americans were dying a day and asked about injecting bleach is some kind of fucking “given”?
The “dictator on day one” who said he could shoot someone in the middle of Fifth Avenue and would inherit a Supreme Court that would actually let him? That guy’s winning is already written?
Really?
The child-separating racist who is promising detention camps and mass deportations?
The Putin puppet who’ll abandon NATO?
We’re just gonna surrender to that fucking guy and all the accompanying awful that comes with him?
Now? In JULY?!?
Because he’s got a pantyliner on his ear thanks to a twisted fuck who got his hands on a weapon we’ve all been trying to ban??

Are you fucking high?

It now seems inevitable that the momentum is shifting, and enough of the party leadership is speaking out such that Biden's hand will be forced.

Whether it is the right decision for the party, we'll agree to disagree. But what I do take great exception with is the disrespectful way this man has been treated! He is not the one of the most successful presidents, if not THE most successful of modern day history. What he has accomplished, and saved us from, all while stabilizing our country and restoring our place in the world, is simply remarkable. He deserved much better than he is currently getting from members of his own party.

I also want to call out members of our media, including CNN and MSNBC which have been incredibly awful, the New York Times which was salivating from day one to get rid of him, former Obama staffers who have a vindictive view of him and have put him down since day one of his presidency, and other pundits like Ezra Klein and Nate Silver, tweeting every hour on the hour, like frothing at the mouth like rabid dogs. Y'all look ridiculous. You can only about being right and your damn ratings!

It will be what it will be, and we will make the best of whatever situation, and do what we need to do ahead of this election and win. But I have lost a great deal of respect for a number of people, and I will not forget!

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

Things move fast in politics, but the fact that Trump and RFK were caught on camera yesterday colluding on a phone call to defeat President Biden cannot be overstated. Both men are anti-vaxxer, conspiracy theorists, and are dangers to our American way of life.

[George Lakoff @GeorgeLakoff]

Violent language invites violence.

Such language changes brains and can result in real world consequences.

The power of violent language far exceeds mere words.

And no one has done more to inject violent language into our politics than Donald Trump.

When I cast my vote for President Biden, I wasn't expecting much. I just wanted trump out of office.

I knew he was old.
I knew he had a stutter.
I knew he had a rep for "gaffes."
I didn't care. Just wanted trump gone.

Four years later, things are different.
I wasn't expecting that President Biden would be the most legislatively successful President in my lifetime.

I wasn't expecting him to help expand NATO.
I wasn't expecting him to lower insulin & inhalers.
I wasn't expecting him to create & recover 15m jobs.
I wasn't expecting him to bring manufacturing back.
I wasn't expecting him to forgive student debt.

But he did ALL those things, and more.
He surpassed my expectations by a lot.
And he has more planned for 2025-2028.

He's not a master orator,
He doesn't move so smoothly
But neither did FDR from his wheelchair.

Meanwhile, trump is STILL a threat.
He wants to be a dictator.
He wants to stay out of prison.
He wants revenge on his enemies.
He wants to take away from the poor and middle class and give to the ultra wealthy.
His Project 2025 will enable a national abortion ban to criminalize women seeking safe and legal abortions.
His Project 2025 will take away the rights of our LGBTQ family and friends.
His Project 2025 will transform the government into a loyalty pledge, not to America but to him ALONE.
We might never have another free election.

THAT is what is at stake in this election.

We can continue to progress with Biden policies, or we can let trump destroy democracy as we know it.

If you're looking for someone who's young and athletic, go watch a fucking movie.

I'll take the old guy who needs a nap while saving democracy over the old guy trying to overthrow democracy who needs a legal team.

Oh boy. Trump’s Doral rally tonight was a doozy. Let’s recap it:

He started off by bragging about his golf course instead of apologizing for being an hour late and leaving people waiting all day under a heat advisory.

He said he didn’t know what NATO was.

He bragged that “being indicted is a lot of fun.”

He claimed “tens of thousands” of people showed up to this sad little rally. He later said “45,000 people” when it barely looked like 2k people were there.

He froze like a deer in headlights for 10 straight seconds.

He praised Laura Loomer and repeatedly called her “amazing.”

He’s mad that Kamala Harris laughs and called her “L-a-f-f-i-n’ Kamala,” proving what we already knew that bro can’t spell.

He said he wants a “no holds barred” debate without moderators this week. Essentially the two of them screaming at each other. Super dumb idea. Especially when Biden is hosting the NATO summit.

He also challenged President Biden to a golf tournament this week when President Biden is busy meeting with NATO leaders and doing his job.

He said Biden “doesn’t know what a synagogue is.”

He thinks you have to stop electric cars every hour.

He complained about the heat only 16 minutes in, when those people waited all day and he still showed up an hour late.

He said someone told him that he looks “great in a bathing suit.” Barf.

He called the fictional Hannibal Lecter “a lovely man” and compared him to immigrants.

He said migrants are “preying on everybody.”

He forgot how to say “feared” and said “field.”

He said he’d be the “greatest president that God has ever created.”

He claimed Hunter Biden is running the country.

He babbled about facelifts.

He said he was going to bring Tom Homan back into his administration, a guy who helped author Project 2025 which he claims to know nothing about.

He claimed Biden has more homes than him.

He said we’ll become “energy independent” when we already are right now.

He complained some more about the hot weather.

He asked why “sweaty” golf caddies “never touched me, never hugged me, never kissed me.”

He made fun of Chris Christie’s weight while claiming he was standing up for him. Mighty rich.

He said the U.S. is turning into “communist Cuba or socialist Venezuela.”

He struggled to pronounce some of his sycophants’ names.

He called Don Jr. “a great talent” and that he has a “great wife” even though he’s not married to Kimberly Guilfoyle.

He said how much he loves his family showing up when his wife Melania and favorite daughter Ivanka didn’t even bother going.

He said “October 7th would not have happened” if he was President.

He said Israel “had no money.”

He said “we have nuclear submarines and five warships in Cuba,” essentially calling himself a Russian.

He said Biden has abandoned Cuba when he was the one who nixed Obama’s plan to reopen trade and travel to Cuba.

He said people get “shot, mugged, raped” when visiting the Washington Monument in DC.

He said he will protect the second amendment and “innocent life” in the same breath.

He told people to “vote whenever you want.”

He played a song performed by J6 insurrectionists and people who beat up police officers.

He read his teleprompter cue to speak quickly out loud.

He said that getting rid of energy efficiency in appliances will “keep our enemies at bay.”

He called the United States of America “a third-world country” and said we’re “a joke.”

He said President Biden “isn’t legally allowed to stand trial.”

He’s claiming that the stock market is high because of MAGA winning the election in November, and that it will crash like during the Great Depression if he loses.

He said it’s “easier to get fentanyl than groceries.”

He forgot how to say the word “economy.”

He said he’d rather take money from small dollar donors instead of the wealthy.

He said they’re “going to take over our Capitol.”

He lied like he breathes.

And we all know the media won’t cover HALF of this absolute train wreck.

The Bible book you’re citing to justify anti-LGBTQ prejudice - Leviticus - also demands the death penalty for adulterers, dear precious Jacob.

Since you’re not trying to stone Donald Trump to death, it’s clear you’re weaponizing a book *you yourself don’t believe in* against a minority Jesus commands you to love.

Bigotry, blasphemy, hypocrisy, and using books that you don’t even follow or obey yourself to hurt gay people.

You’re not much of a Christian, my friend, but you’re pure Trump.

@JamesFallows And people forget that the whole reason Betty Ford began an addiction recovery center is she had been an addict to both prescription meds and alcohol. We need to get a grip. All these scandals - including Hunter's problems - pale beside the criminality of Trump.
