THREAD – Before his colossal failures with COVID-19, Donny Trump used to brag about the economy & much of the media went along for the ride. However, was the economy really that good before the #TrumpDepression hit? Let’s look at the facts: 1/12 #wtpTEAM #wtp2020 @wtp__2020

This is what putting South Carolina first looks like. I’m honored to have the support of two former governors — Republican David Beasley and Democrat Jim Hodges. We may not agree on everything, but we share a belief that matters most: South Carolina deserves leaders who will always put its people first.

🚨#BREAKING: Donald Trump is reportedly telling aides & advisors he has serious regrets endorsing Ken Paxton over John Cornyn in the TX Senate race. Trump was recently shown polls he had been sheltered from prior, and lamented the choice as the reason Texas will likely go blue.

There is not a single number on here that looks good for Republicans. Every metric is going the wrong direction. Rural vote is down. Hispanics voting more and more democratic. 65+ voting less. Young people voting more. Rs showing up less than normal. It’s all bad.
Forecast is updated.

In the US, the far-right white nationalists are exponentially a bigger threat than all other groups combined. This is from the Bezos owned Post, aka a big Trump donor & supporter. washingtonpost.com/national/…

Oh PS, @ChrisMurphyCT, when Democrats regain control of the Senate and start investigating Big Tech, please look at the incidents catalogued here. Meta is silencing left-wing accounts and evading accountability by blaming technical errors for their wrongful actions, and they've been doing it for a decade.
Meta's "accidental" suspension of the No Kings Instagram account — at a time when the org was posting updates from ongoing marches — was not an anomaly. I found dozens of similar instances of Meta "mistakenly" targeting left-leaning activist accounts, often during crucial election windows. My latest.

During the January 6th attack on the nation's Capitol, Daniel Rodriguez drove a stun gun into the neck of Officer Mike Fanone. He was knocked unconscious, had a heart attack and suffered a traumatic brain injury. It ended his career. Rodriguez got over 12 years in prison for his assault on police. On day one, Donald Trump gave him a "full, complete and unconditional pardon" and sent him home. This is far and away the most corrupt White House in American history.

It’s so much worse than you think. Ex-DOJ official @lawyeroyer : “The Justice Department has been totally captured by the president.” CORRUPTIONLAND is released tomorrow @ corruptionland.org. Next week, Americans can do something about it.

Trump wrote a 2,000-word tantrum because Bill Maher hurt his feelings. The man has the nuclear codes and the emotional maturity of a toddler whose Happy Meal came without a toy.

This is not new with Republicans, though. When Obama ran in 2008, he was either a secret radical Muslim, belonged to an extremist black Christian church or was a secular atheist - all depending on which Fox News host was talking at the time.

El-Sayed: In my Neurology unit, I would have to give that MOCA exam, that cognitive test he's so proud of… The only people you give that test to are people who you worry may have cognitive deficits. By definition, if you’re taking one of those tests, something is wrong.  And you know the doctor who gave it to him was like, I just want to see how smart you are, sir. And he's like, me too. He brags about having taken it. He's like I remembered the rhinoceros. You're like Habibi, everybody remember the rhinoceros. And the funny thing about it is, you know, he's taken it multiple times. So he's not even bragging about the first time he took it. He's like, I took it the 1st time and then I took it the 2nd time. So with Donald Trump, you can't blame him for this, he's just dumb. But for Mike Rogers, can you imagine how small of a human being you have to be to know that he has real deficits and to just nod your head approvingly at the most ridiculous shit that the man proposes?

In one day, two politicians - Bolsonaro in Brazil and Vucic in Serbia - with ties to Trump and his family have lost surprise elections, thanks to high turnout. The rise of the international far-right is not inevitable.

THIS WILL MAKE YOU LAUGH Comedian Nimesh Patel performed this routine in 2023, after Vivek Ramaswamy announced he was running for president. He probably thought he'd never get to use this routine again- but after this week it deserves to go viral. Did it make you laugh?
