Do you have proof @blair_huxley oh, wait sorry, that's right nevermind there was that time about a week ago he admitted to apologizing for something he did not do or say, "in order to protect his family."
How does that work as president exactly? Do you just stop being afraid for

the safety of your family once you are on the inside. Or is it more likely that some #HIddenHand we'll never see will orchestrate 8 years of obstruction as we saw with Obama, or 4 years of a #UsefulIdiot with Trump or whatever THIS is, with the #CryptKeeper #DementiaJoe? It is as
if they drink the kool-aid of "I alone can fix this," or put me in office and "I promise to build a bridge," TO NOWHERE, because I have to protect my family. @RobertKennedyJr would be literally handcuffing himself and likely be the only person to see his dad's classified
Let me break something down for everyone here, based on my findings of you, Ryan. What your role is in this, I don't know, but none of it looks good.

Among other things, rubber-stamping Supreme Court justices chosen by the Federalist Society and the Christian Right -- just as he promised he would do in May 2016, in exchange for their support.

And while anti-abortion groups are focused on Roe v Wade, the rich donors who fund GOP campaigns have their eyes set on a different case.
For those who believe that climate change is a life-and-death, immediate crisis, Chevron v NRDC is a big, big deal.
Under it, Obama was able to issue clean power plant rules.
If agencies' powers are narrowed, it would make it that much harder for Biden to deal with climate.

In 1968, Nixon formalized efforts to pick up white Dems resentful about the LBJ's Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act.
It was called the Southern Strategy, and the GOP has been trying to move past it for a decade and a half.
Then along came Trump.

This "record" was only possible because the president ignored the virus for seven weeks, pretended it would go away on its own, called it a hoax ... thereby missing the window of containing it to a couple of cities and, as a result, forcing the closure of the economy.
Helpful chart here, re: jobs
Up against (another) damning article, this one in the Atlantic, revealing his character, Donald Trump is again demanding we accept his denials as true.
There is zero reason to do so. #UsefulIdiot

Trump lies about everything, including his commitment to military families. As I reported earlier this week, while Trump claims he has received “many, many” bodies of fallen soldiers at Dover AFB, the truth is he has been there exactly four times.

Trump showed his disdain for things like sacrifice back in 2015 when he first insulted John McCain for getting shot down over Vietnam. Trump is exactly who he said he was.

Angela Merkel took the virus seriously.
In Germany, they have had 111 deaths per million people.
In America? It's FIVE TIMES as many -- 547 per million. #UsefulIdiot

We could have been like Germany. We have the expertise. We’re not a poor country. But the president for seven weeks downplayed it, refused to take it seriously, called it a hoax.
The result? 150,000 more deaths, so far, than if we had done what Germany did.

On Jan. 13, 14 and 15, Trump had top Chinese officials on White House grounds. No one bothered to ask about the new deadly pneumonia that had crippled one of their major cities.
Trump was desperate for a “trade deal” from China’s dictator, which was not even really a trade deal, but just a partial unwinding of the trade war that Trump himself started. The result? A white-washing of the virus threat until it was too late.
Donald Trump used tear gas and beatings to clear a public park so he could stage a photo op. #UsefulIdiot

He flouted federal law holding the RNC convention at the White House. He tried to extort a foreign power to win re-election.
What’s he going to do when he knows he never has to face the voters again? And do Americans really want to find out?

On Sept, 8, The Useful Idiot: How Donald Trump Killed the Republican Party With Racism and the Rest of Us With Coronavirus will explore that question.
The rich got their taxes slashed. The oil companies got pristine wilderness opened for drilling. Vladimir Putin got the chaos and the broken alliances he dreamed of. What did the rest of us get?
In political jargon, a “useful idiot” is a derogatory term for a person perceived as propagandising for a cause without fully comprehending the cause's goals, and who is cynically used by the cause's leaders

The term was originally used during the Cold War to describe non-communists regarded as susceptible to communist propaganda and manipulation. The term has often been attributed to Vladimir Lenin, but this attribution is unsubstantiated
