I started posting facts & truths about @realDonaldTrump the day he came down the escalator.
Went to DC for the Women's March.
Sat in airports for the @ACLU making sure people's rights weren't violated during the Muslim Ban.
That is how 2017 started.
Now we are at the end.

This girl was the first person I saw when I got off the escalator in DC. So fierce. So determined.

I found @ParadiseResists part of @IndivisibleTeam & started working on opposing attacks on the vulnerable.
Our founder was a pistol.
She did not make it.
Died of cancer end of last year.
She won't see him voted out.
But she saw us make change.

Today I get to celebrate starting my own business, 13 years ago today. President Bush had run our economy into the ground for everyday Joes, @_Jacquelyn2020’s and Janes like my family. We elected @POTUS44 and the most successful years of my life came from it—from the bottom UP
My salary stayed flat for all 8 years under Dubya. And with babies as a young father, I came to work to find every employee standing outside locked out with the lights off. Our last two paychecks bounced. It was just in time for Christmas and my son was due any day.
@BarackObama and @JoeBiden gave me the most successful years of my life. We went from a tiny 2BD in the hood, to a house with East & West backyards, outdoor ceilings fans, more room than a library and a savings account—and when I was hit with raising them alone and lost it all..

25 Reasons Why #TRUMP is #UNFIT to be President!
Donald Trump is psychologically & morally unfit to be president of the USA. Four more years with Trump in the White House would be catastrophic for America. Outlined in this thread are 25 statements that demonstrate this reality.
Donald Trump is psychologically & morally unfit to be president of the USA. Four more years with Trump in the White House would be catastrophic for America. Outlined in this thread are 25 statements that demonstrate this reality.
1. NARCISSISTIC: Trump’s narcissism is extreme & pathological. He consistently lies about his abilities & achievements. His need for flattery is endless & those who don’t provide it are scorned & attacked. He blames others for his own failures & never takes responsibility.
2. PSYCHOPATHIC: Trump’s total lack of conscience is disturbing. He displays no remorse for any harm caused to others by his words or actions. He engages in manipulative behavior to ensure his own needs are satisfied & demonstrates no capacity for empathy or compassion.
Tuning in to watch @JoeBiden on ABC!
Joe Biden speaks & sounds like he is the president of the USA. Donald Trump speaks & sounds like an incompetent, vicious & nasty challenger to the current president!

On one channel we have a knowledgeable, rational, well-informed & honest man (BIDEN) responsibly & thoroughly responding to the questions of voters. On another channel there is a nutcase (TRUMP) spreading lies & propaganda! The choice is so easy.

Remember when Kamala Harris sat at the VP debate and said Trump hasn't nominated any BLACK judges? Remember that? I do. It felt like a slap across the fact. It felt like what JIM CROW racists used to do when they would DIMINISH black accomplishments! -VJ

It's bad enough we've got white liberals trying to lie to keep black people as slaves on the Democrat plantation... but now we've got Kamala Harris doing it... at the VP debate she said NONE of President Trump's appointed judges were black. LIAR!!! -VJ

I have tears in my eyes as I post this. The Democrats promised to change the lives of black Americans for the better, then proceeded to put us in jail for life. Even Kamala Harris betrayed us. But now Trump is here. And he has NOT betrayed us! 🙏🏽-VJ

SCOTUS
Trump predictably defends his push to get through his nominee before the election (or shortly thereafter).
Biden has a good response focusing on the potential consequences - loss of ACA & loss of "choice" for women.
Of course Trump has to jump in, like a child.

Hey #ChrisWallace - stop Trump from interrupting! We are only 5 minutes in and Trump is already out of control. Trump is disgusting!

With governments and banksters basically being the same motley outfit, is it strange the system seems running on its last legs? And that the chasm between highest and lowest earners is back to record levels, on a par with the 19th century?#ClimateAction #ForNature
We must work towards fair distribution of entitlement to the earth's purchasable goods. Clinging to gold, once thought to have intrinsic value because it came from the sun, looks to me to be an embarrassing step backwards in evolutionary time.#ClimateAction #VoteBlue
Trump will nominate a #SupremeCourt replacement to #RBG next week. #McConnell will bring the nomination to a vote in the Senate before election day. Why stacking courts is the next step to lawlessness and how it is done: thread 👇🏽 #supremecourtnominee #VOTEBIDEN

Here is some history of Trump's nominations and stacking courts.

@carmenxbrook IF #Republicans hold the Senate, NO #healthcare bills will pass. McConnell & the GOP are killing 400 bills, most bipartisan, passed by the House incl'g multiple bills on rx drug prices, #vets' healthcare, preexisting conditions. See the list here: threadreaderapp.com/thread/1305516…
Read Gen #Mattis's extraordinary rebuke of Trump following the teargassing of peaceful protesters: "We must reject & hold accountable those in office who would make a mockery of our #Constitution." cnbc.com/2020/06/03/rea…
General #Mattis: "The #Nazi slogan for destroying us … was ‘Divide and Conquer.’ Our American answer is ‘In Union there is Strength. ... Donald Trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people—does not even pretend to try" (6/3/20).
Trump's former Defense Sec, Gen #Mattis (6/3): "We know that we are better than the abuse of executive authority that we witnessed in Lafayette Square. We must reject and hold accountable those in office who would make a mockery of our #Constitution." #VoteBiden
Now we know Trump mocked a man's #disability because he feels "disgust for those who have suffered." As president, he told staff "not to include wounded #veterans" in an event because “Nobody wants to see that."
Trump's views of #vets: reporting from @TheAtlantic (thread)
Trump's views of #vets: reporting from @TheAtlantic (thread)
.@FoxNews @AP & other media organizations have verified @TheAtlantic's reporting that Trump lied when he said he couldn't reach a French cemetery to honor America's war dead. In fact, "he feared his hair would become disheveled in the rain."
“Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s filled with losers," Trump told senior staff members," referring to America's WWI fallen. During the same 2018 trip, he referred to the "more than 1,800 marines who lost their lives at Belleau Wood as 'suckers' for getting killed."
How anyone who respects #vets wouldn't crawl thru mud to #VoteBiden is beyond me.
After reading Trump's shameful comments, I Googled the name of the #POW whose name I wore on my wrist for years. What I learned couldn't stand in starker contrast to @realDonaldTrump.

#POW Cpt Lynn Guenther was shot down & spent 14 months in the infamous Hanoi Hilton. He said the experience taught him "the real meaning of tolerance and love - tolerance for those around us and love for the country and world we live in" (link below). nara.getarchive.net/media/former-p…

@SteveSchmidtSES 1>#Republicans have no platform. Literally. They are officially a cult of personality.
2>#RNC made lawless use of the people's house, the most powerful symbol of the state. Trump's in effect saying he IS the state, he IS the law.

Schmidt: 3>Trump campaign & #RNC know using the #WhiteHouse & WH staffers for the convention is illegal & did it anyway. Trump doesn't just demand loyalty. He demands his staff break the law as proof that HE is the law. "The light's gone from flashing yellow to flashing red."
"I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you."
Did Trump play #LeonardCohen after his speech because the word #hallelujah is repeated 32 times or because #KateMcKinnon sang it dressed as #Hillary as the cold open to the 1st #SNL after the election?

I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
And even though it all went wrong
I'll stand before the lord of song
With nothing on my tongue but hallelujah

I can't walk. I would drag myself 5 miles to TownHall to #VoteBiden. I got nothing if babies in cages & shithole countries & +20,000 lies, & +181,000 dead, & "slow the testing down" & "Putin told me he didn't do it" hasn't convinced YOU to vote this white nationalist outta power.
President Trump doesn't put on Kente Cloth, or code switch, or carry hot sauce, or tell black people #YouAintBlack (as Biden did). Trump simply passes legislation that EMPOWERS us. To #RESIST Trump is to resist black progress. There's just no other way to frame it. Period. -VJ
Just keeping it real. Am I going to listen to a white Democrat tell me Trump is a racist who doesn't care about black people, or am I going to look at his ACTIONS and the GLOWING praise of black civil rights activists like Horace Cooper? Easy choice. -VJ

@murphelaw #McConnell has spent so much time NOT passing any of the 400+ laws that already passed the House & instead packing the federal courts w/ lifetime-appointed judges that even #SusanCollins complained she'd like to pass a bill or 2.
I'm pretty sure she wrote him a letter about it.

@murphelaw Love of my life Joe Sullivan is developmentally disabled & incredibly wise. He was sent to prison to die at 13 after a 1-day trial in which his "lawyer" presented no defense. #Police threw out the DNA evidence collected. A landmark #SCOTUS decision set him free. #VoteBiden #BLM
