They *should* face scrutiny. They're dismantling democracy all in service of a petty little grifter. (And never forget the ENTIRE GOP allows this to continue happening. Vote them out.)

Trump is deeply unpopular. So he wants to disenfranchise eligible voters. “The blue wave that is cresting just over the horizon … is so large and so powerful that Donald Trump’s panic has him thinking bigger and bigger and bigger,” Marc Elias says. Your vote is a target. Follow us to keep watch.

Trump has been looking for someone else to blame for his screwup in Iran. First it was the European Union and now it is the Ukraine. He has never been willing to admit to any wrongdoing, so why should he start now.

Calling this a pivot feeds the naive narrative that Trump was ever on Ukraine’s side. All evidence points in the opposite direction. Trump has helped Putin every step of the way and always will. The American people and government will not stop him. Ukraine cannot rely on the US. Full stop.

Ukraine better stop shooting back? Ok, so let me get this straight. We're on Ukraines side as long as they just give up. Otherwise were on Ukraines side, but we're helping Russia as much as we can. Kinda like we're on the side of the innocent victims, as long as they submit to being killed.

The EU & all NATO countries should be very cautious about sharing any Intel w the US. It's in Putin's ears when something is shared w Trump.

It’s a grift. And a gift to wealth managers. If parents don’t add to it, and often, the $1000 in each account will be sucked up in management fees. (Which is the point)

Phew guys, we're in safe hands. 🙄 After reports from Russia’s Irkutsk region revealed a potential public health crisis, Donald Trump gave his thoughts on a seeming outbreak of the rare and often deadly pneumonic plague. Given his handling of COVID, some fear his approach to public health concerns.

This plague is said to have escaped from a lab. So is it a 'normal' pneumonic plague [treatable with Antibiotics] or is it a 'weaponised' pneumonic plague designed for biological warfare that has escaped the lab?

Even setting aside his ignorance, racism, grifting, divisiveness, cruelty, and authoritarian impulses, his catastrophic mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic alone should have rendered him unelectable ever again in a country whose electorate possessed even rudimentary critical-thinking skills.
