Raised in a Christian family, I learned of the Holocaust and slavery when I was 15 years old. Ever since, I've wanted to use my modest talents to make my community a tiny bit better.
A predictor of future behavior is past behavior. Trump committed crimes & violence 2 cheat in elections in the past & will do it again. Will ICE thugs pull brown Ppl out of voting lines & assault them? Will Trump send his pardoned J6th traitors 2 attack the tallying of votes? #DV1 #DemsUnited
Last night Trump set the stage 4 committing treason & stealing the Mid-term election. DJT's concerned about foreign interference in elections? Remember: he asked Russia 2 interfere, blackmailed Ukraine 2 interfere, & was indicted twice 4 election interference. #DV1 #DemsUnited
The current term for psychopath is Anti-Social Personality cuz they reject society's norms. The DOJ & AG norm was independence from the Prez 2 prevent political prosecutions. But Trump wants his personal attorney 2 be AG. Only a cult can't see DJT is a ASP. #DV1 #DemsUnited
Trump will address the nation Thursday about election integrity. Trump talking about election integrity is like Al Capone talking about business ethics & paying your fair share of taxes. Expect outright lies, 1/2 truths, & misrepresented data. #DV1 #DemsUnited
Sen Collins try's to blame Dems 4 ICE not wearing body cameras. A more likely explanation is: it's easier to lie if you don't have a video telling the truth. Sen Murray pointed out that the "Big Beautiful Bill" gave ICE $29B that was available for body cameras. #DV1 #DemsUnited
Trump wants Blanche, who was his defense attorney, to be the US's AG, our top law enforcement officer. But Blanche was just referred for possible disbarment for perpetrating a fraud upon the Court. He helped Trump try to steal $1.8B from US Tax Payers. #DV1 #DemsUnited
Illegal war in Iran Illegal tariffs. Illegal corruption. Illegal murder of us citizens. Illegal murders of immigrants. Illegal plans to steal the midterms Illegal prosecutions. Does Susan Collins still think trump learned his lesson? #DV1 #DemsUnited
The War Powers Act requires Trump to get Congressional approval within 90 days of military action. But Trump says he ended the war and now is starting a new war & so the 90 days starts over. Of course he could do that FOREVER. Psychopaths can create a lie to justify anything. #DV1 #DemsUnited
The Constitution's writers wisely thot the decision 2 go 2 war so important 1 man shouldn't make it & gave that power 2 Congress. But Trump in his arrogance bragged no other Prez had the balls 2attack Iran like he did. Now we know why. Trump consulted no 1 & 💯% owns this forever war.
The GOP Justices on SCOTUS care more about far-right ideology than the Constitution. They believe the USA should be ruled by a hereditary elite & that's why they ruled corporations are Ppl, & money is speech. Can't even get 4 of them to admit birthright citizenship is the law. #DV1
Donald Trump's proof of election fraud is simple: If Dems win the election was rigged. Since he is the only 1 who can fix it, chosen by God, & a stable genius, only he can win elections. But truth is DJT is doing everything in his power to cheat in the mid terms.
TX has a choice between a real Christian, Talarico, & a real criminal, Paxton. Like Donald Trump Paxton has no morals. If U like thed stupid & failed war with Iran, corruption, & denying our inalienable rights, then Paxton's your guy. But vote for Talarico if your love our Constitution.
Maine, when U vote, don't forget Ppl who've died cuz of Donald Trump. Remember: 13 service men & Ks of Middle E Ppl Renee Good & Pretti Boatmen with out trial Capitol Police on Jan 6th 100s of Ks of Covid victims Women denied HC Pratner will hold DJT accountable. Collins is an enabler.
Christian Nationalists are authoritarian followers raised in patriarchal families conditioned not to ? Their fake prophets say the US was formed as a Christian nation & the believe it in spite of a mountain of facts that it's a lie. It's hard to open a closed mind. #DemsUnited
The 1956 GOP platform was progressive. Truth: Eisenhauer's tax rate was 91% on top earners & many of today's Dems are to the right of Prez Eisenhauer. Democratic Socialist are center left. Trump calls Dems radical lunatic leftists cuz he is a fascist. #DemVoice1 #DemsUnited
BIG BEAUTIFUL BAIT (& switch)? The Ballroon was 1st going 2 cost $200M, then $300M, $400M, but don't worry billionaires will pay 4 it. Now Taxpayers get 2 buy Billionaires a Ballroom 4 a Billion $. Gosh, I'm glad Mexico paid 4 the wall otherwise we couldn't afford it. #DemVoice1 #DemsUnited
Reporters' job is 2 ask hard ?s but Trump calls ♀️reporters names when they do. DJT called ABC's Rachel Scott obnoxious NYT's Katie Rogers ugly CNN's Kaitlin Collins stupid ABC's Mary Bruce terrible reporter Bloomberg's Catherine Lucey Piggy It's not normal. ASPDs reject norms. #DemsUnited #DV1
Fascism is always corrupt cuz it attracts Ppl who feel superior 2 taxpayers & entitled 2 what isn't theirs. Not only did Noem spend $220Mil of taxpayers' $ on commercials of herself, the no bid contract went 2 buddies. This is Gov efficiency FASCIST STYLE. #DV1 #DemsUnited
Americans are waking up to the fraud, corruption & destruction of our country. How else can U explain a Dem winning 95% of the vote? Ppl thot it an exaggeration when we warned Trump is a wannabe dictator who will steal the USA blind. Eyes are opening. #DV1 #DemsUnited
England takes Prince Andrews title & arrests him. South Korean sentences an ex-President 2 life in prison 4 a coup. Brazil imprisons their ex-President 4 a coup. But DJT attempts a coup, is guilty of 34 felonies, & had 52 felonies pending, & gets elected again? #DV1 #DemsUnited
It's faint, but U can hear Renee Good, say "I'm not mad at you", moments before she's shot in the face. Then loudly, after she's executed, you hear "Fucking Bitch". It's on the killer's phone & so loud & clear it's most likely him swearing. He sounds enraged not injured. #DV1 #DemsUnited
Immediately, without facts, Prez Don deCon & Puppy Killer, Noem, smeared the Victim calling her a terrorist & paid agitator. They want Good's killer to get away with murder 2 terrorize protesters. To further the coverup, the FBI isn't cooperating with local police. #DemsUnited #DV1
Tim Walz is right to quote Orwell's 1984 book on an authoritarian cult. So relevant 2 DJT, Vance & Noem telling us not to believe our eyes on an ICE agent murdering Renee Good. MAGA cult members find it very difficult to admit they've been fooled. #DemsUnited #DV1
I had a narcissist in my family (passed on now). He read a book on family dysfunction, & after, he identified every problem every1 else had in his family but not his own. Prez Don deCon's approval rating is in the 30s, & he asks what's wrong with the American Ppl? #DV1 #DemsUnited
Believe your lyin' eyes? or Prez Don deCon & Noem the Puppy Killer? DJT, 2 justify the murder, says he saw the video & the murdered woman ran over an Ice agent & he's amazed he's alive in the hospital, but that didn't happen. Evangelicals this murder's on you. #DV1 #DemUnited
Whether preaching fascist or communist dogma, dictators create a personality cult which portrays themselves as divine. Hitler was a "man of destiny", Kim Jung Un a deity, & Trump is God's chosen 1. Paula White: disobeying Trump is like disobeying God. But Americans are awakening #DV1 #DemsUnited
So WHAT did you expect? Trump/Bondi DEFIED the law about releasing the Epstein files: All files weren't released They're heavily redacted Redactions aren't explained Clinton's name is frequent but Trump's rare Bondi has focused the DOJ on defending DJT & attacking his enemies. #DV1 #DemsUnited
Just when you think Trump can't go any more mean, petty, & nuts, he does it again. Narcissists are thin skinned & become enraged when they feel slighted. Trump hates Obama & Biden because they are more loved than he is. DJT's furious his disapproval rating is at 61%. #DV1 #DemsUnited
My wife & I walked to Twin Falls on the S Fork of the Snoqualmie River (smallest of the Snoqualmie's 3 forks) the day after the flood. This is 2000 Cubic Feet a Second, a day earlier it was 8000 CSF. There I did it. A post without saying Trump's nuts. Opps. #DV1 #DemsUnited
Trump's speech last night was absolutely NUTS & filled with more lies than the WORLD HAS EVER SEEN from a Prez. Hard 2 believe he repeated the unhinged lie he is reducing drug prices by 400/500/600%. Drug LLCs are going 2 pay U? DJT thinks MAGA so stupid they will believe that? #DV1 #DemsUnited
