No, Joe Biden has not caused division

Causing division is:
—Falsely claiming you won the 2020 election
—Demonizing immigrants & people of color
—Overturning the right to bodily autonomy for half the population
—Denigrating veterans, war heroes, service members & past Presidents —Denying science and claiming COVID is a harmless flu that will “miraculously disappear” if we just do nothing
—Banning an entire religion from the country
—Banning trans people from the military
—Calling Nazis “very fine people”
—Saying Hitler “did some good things”

Trump posting a video of a truck with an image of a bound and gagged Biden in the trunk reminds me of the time I replied to a tweet in 2018 saying I didn’t think Trump would survive a 2nd term (because he’s a morbidly obese drug addict), which got me a visit from Secret Service It’s not supposed to matter who you are when you make what could possibly be construed as a threat against the sitting President of the United States. If Trump hasn’t been visited by Secret Service, he needs to be. And that post needs to come down, at the very least.

This is so despicable I don’t even know where to begin. I couldn’t stomach more than about 30 seconds of @KatieBrittforAL’s “rebuttal” to Biden’s SOTU address, but it appears she completely altered the details of an actual sexual abuse victim’s story to suit her political needs.

https://twitter.com/nickknudsenus/status/1766308578904998127

This woman put on her cross, sat in her kitchen & exploited a sexual abuse/trafficking victim who was brave enough to tell her story to Congress, which occurred 20 years ago IN MEXICO when W Bush was POTUS. Why? To draw a nonexistent parallel between Biden and sex trafficking.

Trump: “Legal Scholars are extremely thankful for the Supreme Court’s Decision today to take up Presidential Immunity.”

No, they aren’t. They have unilaterally condemned it, and rightfully so.

Once again for the people in the back:

PRESIDENTIAL. IMMUNITY. IS. NOT. A. THING. Trump: “Without Presidential Immunity, a President will not be able to properly function, or make decisions, in the best interest of the United States of America.”

What in the ever loving fuck are you talking about? No President has ever had presidential immunity. Including you.

.@elonmusk flipped out that @JoeBiden’s Eagles game tweet did better than his so much that he started calling meetings of engineers every night where he’d instruct them to artificially inflate his engagements and tweak the algorithm to flood Twitter with his tweets and replies.

.@elonmusk: Your engagements are dropping because your tweets are terrible and you have done nothing but work to destroy this platform.

Meanwhile, you’ve been bleeding followers from and suppressing accounts like mine for the past year and a half and I haven’t complained once.

1. No, Navalny ≠ Trump

2. There is no “Biden regime” (people who refer to the administration of their own President as a ‘regime’ are traitors who project)

3. The real difference is that Trump is facing prosecutions that may imprison him for life because HE COMMITTED CRIMES

Trump is not being politically persecuted. He crimed his balls off his entire life with impunity. Then he ran for POTUS, crimed his balls off all throughout his campaign, “won” by a fluke and crimed his balls off his entire ‘presidency’ but couldn’t be prosecuted while in office.

Ok, Mainstream Media. Let’s Talk About Biden (AND Trump’s) Age and Compare Their Fitness for Office
(Thread)

A Fox News poll from last September found that 52% of Americans don’t believe that 77-year-old Donald Trump has the “mental soundness to serve” as president, and that 61% of Americans have the same concern about President Joe Biden, who is 80.

.@TuckerCarlson: Even if it were true that “most Americans don’t understand why Putin invaded Ukraine”; the idea that Vladimir Putin—former KGB agent and murderous psychopathic dictator who despises America—is the one who can provide us with the truth about it is utterly absurd. You present yourself as providing some great ‘public service’ by giving us insight into Putin’s side of the conflict. Except we already know why Putin invaded Ukraine. He did it because he’s an insane despot who believes Ukraine belongs to 🇷🇺 /the former Soviet Union (it doesn’t)

Russia coopted the Republican Party before Trump. The @GOP’s lovefest with the Kremlin dates back to 1995, when American historian and staunch right-winger Allan Carlson met with Ivan Shevchenko; Russian chairman of the group “the orthodox brotherhood of scientists & specialists”

https://twitter.com/phillipspobrien/status/1754567142035354108

In a journal entry dated January 16th, 1995, Carlson describes the meeting that eventually opened the door for collaboration between American social conservatives and those closest to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

1. Nancy Pelosi was not in charge of security on January 6th (and last night you said it was Nikki Haley).

2. You did not “offer,” nor did Pelosi “turn down” 10,000 soldiers.

3. The J6 committee DID NOT DESTROY ANY EVIDENCE. All of it:
a.) Still exists &
b.) Incriminates you

4. You not only did not “offer 10,000 troops” to Pelosi (you wouldn’t “offer Nancy troops” to take or leave; you’d place troops where you wanted them as Commander-in-Chief); you had your acting Secretary of Defense unilaterally BLOCK all requests for national guard troops.

This man spouts the same litany of lies every time he opens his mouth:

1. “I was absolutely entitled to total immunity as President”

You aren’t President, and no, you do not have “absolute immunity” from when you were. Not even judges you appointed will say otherwise.

2. “These are Biden indictments. He told his injustice department to indict, so they indicted.”

No, they aren’t and no, he didn’t. These are YOUR indictments that you received for CRIMES YOU COMMITTED while in office. Biden had nothing to do with any of them and you know it.

I’m seriously starting to think he has absolutely no idea what the SCOTUS response to Smith’s request for them to issue a preliminary decision on his claims of “absolute immunity” even means. Look at this fundraising email he sent his cult sycophants today:

“Justice delivered!”

“Justice is beautiful thing!”

“The worst and most corrupt President in history was just DENIED by the Supreme Court!”

Donald..what the ever loving fuck are you talking about???

None of those are true in any way

Trump just filed his 71-page brief with the D.C. appeals court arguing that Biden and every president that succeeds him can crime with impunity for the duration of their term. But House Rs are still going to impeach Biden for loaning his son $4100 for a car that he later repaid. Powerful introductory paragraph, Donald. I wonder if the fact that no current or former President from 1789 to 2023 [except for you] was ever prosecuted has anything to do with the fact that no current or former President [except you] ever COMMITTED CRIMES FROM THE OVAL OFFICE

No, there will not be a second Civil War in America over a failed former reality TV host. At least not in the conventional sense. We are already engaged in the second Civil War. It’s a war of information vs. propaganda. Of truth vs. lies. Of the constitution vs. authoritarianism. Of democracy, the rule of law & justice system vs. a demagogue who holds himself above them all. Of free & fair elections vs. despotism and tyranny. Of the free press, right to free speech, and peaceable assembly vs. absolute power in the hands of the world’s most unfit disgrace.

BREAKING: The Colorado Supreme Court just ruled that Donald Trump is DISQUALIFIED from the Presidency in 2024 under Section III of the 14th Amendment and that it would be “wrongful” for the Colorado Secretary of State to list him on a candidate. GOOD. MORE STATES FOLLOW PLEASE. Link to full court filing, which is over 200 pages so I’m still reading, but will summarize later for you: courts.state.co.us/userfiles/file…

“Why Should We Keep Providing Aid to Ukraine?”

Follow along for a crash course in foreign policy, national and global security, and international peace and stability (Thread)

On February 24th of 2022, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin launched a full scale invasion of Ukraine. This was a completely unprovoked military assault by one of our most longstanding adversaries against one of our closest allies in Eastern Europe.

For anyone shocked that both House and Senate Republicans have blocked additional critical aid packages for Ukraine, some reminders:

Putin owns the @GOP
Eight @SenateGOP members spent July 4th of 2018 in Moscow
When Putin invaded Ukraine, the entire @GOP blamed President Biden The #MoscowEight:
Richard C. Shelby (Ala.) 🇷🇺
Steve Daines (Mont.) 🇷🇺
John Hoeven (N.D.) 🇷🇺
John N. Kennedy (La.) 🇷🇺

Trump is raging on ‘Truth Social’ about multiple judges’ ruling that he has no “absolute immunity,” and says “this radical leftist ideology is destroying the Presidency” before launching into a tirade about how this now means Biden can be held accountable for non-crimes (wrong). There is no section of the Constitution or statute of Congress that confers “absolute immunity” to Presidents while in office. It isn’t a “radical left ideology” that a President isn’t a king. It’s a fundamental part of our system that ensures equal justice under the law.

This guy needs to go to prison. He has single-handedly inflicted more death, despair, suffering, and trauma on this nation than anyone except for possibly Trump, who was the vehicle through which Leo completed his capture of SCOTUS with @FDRLST-endorsed religious extremists.

I wrote about Leonard Leo back in September in this piece on how the GOP and the religious right captured the Supreme Court over a decades-long plot of corruption and abuse of power:

Freedom is not being held hostage by endless gun violence

Freedom is not having your right to vote restricted based on skin color

Freedom is not being unable to earn a living wage from a single job

Freedom is not being forced to carry a pregnancy to term against your will Freedom is not banning/burning books, defunding libraries, barring subject matter, and whitewashing history of racial injustice

Freedom is not being unable to love who you choose to love, identify how you feel, and express yourself and individuality without fear of persecution

I just put down a deposit to adopt a puppy. His name is Jack. I haven’t met him yet but I already love him and can’t wait to pick him up on Monday!

I wanted a dog my whole life, but it was the one thing my parents wouldn’t let me have (and an in-ground pool). They finally relented when I was in junior high, but they got a pure breed west highland terrier that hated us and we ultimately gave away, and they wouldn’t try again.
