Kayleigh McEnany makes more sense with a laugh track.

Rep @AOC: "Treating people w dignity and respect makes a decent man. When a decent man messes up, as we all are bound to do, he tries his best and… apologizes genuinely to repair and acknowledge the harm…”

“Our fight does not end on Election Day. It’s the days or weeks that follow — as the mail-in votes are counted — that are most important.” @FindAClearTruth

President* Trump has corrupted everything he has touched… November 3rd, America admits its greatest mistake and fires Donald Trump.

Fire #AmericasGreatestMistake October 20 if you vote by mail.

“They want more for themselves and less for everybody else… They don’t want well-informed, well-educated people capable of critical thinking. That’s against their interests. It’s a big club and you ain’t in it.” George Carlin @pttrn_ntgrty #AmericaWAKEUP

President* Trump will never understand #BlackLivesMatter ... @Portland_Inc

“Shut up, silly woman, said the reptile with a grin. You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in.” @MeidasTouch #TrumpTheSnake

“You take an aggressive approach to #BlackLivesMatter protests but not to right-wing extremists threatening to lynch a governor if it’s for the President*’s benefit. Did I get it right, Mr. Barr?” @RepJayapal #SheGotItRight @ReallyAmerican1

“In the year since President* Trump’s White House first learned Russia is paying bounties to Taliban fighters to kill American troops, Trump has spoken directly with Vladimir Putin EIGHT times… NOT ONE WORD TO PROTECT OUR TROOPS.” @votevets #TraitorTrump

“Think about it: President* Trump didn’t panic about mail-in ballots until this year… To protect your vote: Get your absentee ballot; mail your ballot as early as you can or drop it off in person. VOTE BY MAIL.” @FindAClearTruth vote.org

”When you see something that is not right, not just, not fair: We have a moral obligation to say something — to do something. What did you do? What did you say? We have a mission and mandate to be on the right side of history.” John Lewis @FindAClearTruth

“Trump can’t run on the economy, because he’s destroyed it. He cannot run on his response to the coronavirus because it is a disaster with 150,000 dead. So Trump is going to play 3 cards in the final days before the election.” @donwinslow #TrumpsEvilPlan

“Democracy isn’t automatic. It has to be nurtured. It has to be tended to. We have to work at it. It’s hard… Summon a measure of John’s moral courage to question what’s right and what’s wrong. Call things as they are.” President Obama, John Lewis eulogy

President* Trump and Jared Kushner deliberately sabotaged national COVID19 testing plans for political gain.

Many Americans died as a consequence.

Who should investigate? The Hague, an American #TrumpCrimesCommission, or both?

Now that President* Trump knows Putin has been paying Russian bounties to the Taliban to murder our troops, why isn’t he doing ANYTHING about it?

Why are Republican Senators letting him get away with this?

President* Trump has no healthcare plan. Pass it on. @MeidasTouch #TrumpHasNoPlan

This was President* Trump’s plan for his first 100 days in office.

He has done NONE of it. “Clean Up Corruption” Act? NOPE! #TrumpHasNoPlan

“So it’s us or the economy? That’s a cold price. You don’t care if we die? Thought you were pro-life!” @RhymeCombinator @ProjectLincoln #AmericaOrTrump

“Many people marched and protested for the right to vote… Too many people struggled, suffered, and died to make it possible for every American to exercise their right to vote. We have come too far together to ever turn back.” John Lewis @ReallyAmerican1

“Putin put bounties on heads of U.S. soldiers, and President* Trump knew — and did NOTHING to defend the United States. He should’ve been impeached and removed from office, but instead his army of enablers defended him.” @donwinslow #ConsequencesForTrump

When we vote out President* Trump, we #VoteOutRacism. @MeidasTouch

“Dear Christians, what has been Christian about Donald Trump's presidency*?” @donwinslow #FakeChristianTrump #Biblicalidiot

Just say no to Kanye West. @FindAClearTruth #NotFallingForIt

Can you take four more years? #CanYouTake4MoreYears

“…constant pathological lying, petty vindictive cruelty, staggering ineptitude, unapologetic corruption, nepotism, mob ties, encouraging violence against those who question authority, theft of our tax dollars to pay off mountains of debt & go golfing…”

VOTE EARLY. Cast your vote as soon as you get your ballot. @pttrn_ntgrty #YourVoteIsNoJoke

Since President* Trump took office, America has lost 274,000 manufacturing jobs. Where did those jobs go? #TrumpMadeInChina @donwinslow

Dear White House Press Correspondents, can you stop being so polite and keep asking President* Trump why he refuses to take proven steps — national plans for testing, tracing, and isolation — to control a deadly virus? @donwinslow @whca #InterruptTrump

“Joe Biden knows America needs a fighter now more than ever. And Kamala Harris never backs down. So together, they’ll always be in our corner.” @PACRONYM #WeHaveHerBack

“This election is a fight for the soul of America… We are better than this. The strength of who we are as a nation has always been about fighting for our ideals!“ @MeidasTouch @KamalaHarris #BidenHarris2020

“The case against Donald Trump and Mike Pence is OPEN AND SHUT.” @KamalaHarris @MeidasTouch #ProsecuteTrump

President* Trump’s attacks on our U.S. Postal Service are deliberate decisions to hurt our veterans and to hurt our seniors who depend on mail for medications and checks. VOTE EARLY. @votevets #TrumpYouLose

Every journalist should ask President* Trump @svdate’s question:

“After three and a half years, do you regret all the lying you've done to the American people?"

Does he have any regrets AT ALL?

President* Trump is the worst “jobs president” in history. @CAPAction

President* Trump didn’t build a wall.

The world is building one around us.

Visualize Vice President Kamala Harris following up on the testimony that Bill Barr gave her under oath. Let’s help make it so.

@KamalaHarris

“We always hear that line about this being the most important election of our lifetimes, but this year it really is.” Eva Longoria

VOTE EARLY. #VoteByOct22

“Trump is the wrong president* for our country… He is clearly in over his head. He cannot meet this moment.”

Michelle Obama’s haiku on why:

He simply cannot
be who we need him to be.
It is what it is.

"If you think things cannot possibly get worse, trust me they can. And they will if we don't make a change in this election. If we have any hope of ending this chaos, we have got to vote for Joe Biden like our lives depend on it." @MichelleObama @JoeBiden

"A President ought to mean what he says… I think my party made a bad mistake, and I’m going to have to vote against that mistake on the 3rd of November.” @ReallyAmerican1 #RepublicanConfessions

"Years from now, this moment will have passed. And our children and our grandchildren will look in our eyes — and they're going to ask us: ‘Where were you when the stakes were so high?’” @KamalaHarris

“Decency, science, democracy: They’re all on the ballot... Love is more powerful than hate. Hope is more powerful than fear... This is a battle we will win, and we’ll do it together.” @JoeBiden

“I’m just a regular kid, and in a short amount of time, Joe Biden made me more confident about something that’s bothered me my whole life. Joe Biden cared.” Brayden Harrington #TeamBrayden

"I have been a Republican since the 1960s. I’m a member of the NRA, and I voted for Trump. I think President* Trump has been the worst president we’ve ever had, so I’ll be glad to see him go." Ed Good, 95

There's something happening here;
What it is ain't exactly clear...

I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down...

PLEASE VOTE EARLY.

Please tell friends and family to VOTE EARLY, too.

Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Nikki Haley, Marco Rubio, Kellyanne Conway, Mike Pompeo, Glenn Beck, Rick Perry, and Susan Collins KNEW that Donald Trump is UNFIT FOR OFFICE. #TheyKnew

THEY KNEW and they did NOTHING.

Senate Intel Cmte made CRIMINAL REFERRALS of Don Jr, Jared Kushner, Steve Bannon, Erik Prince, and Sam Clovis to DOJ in 2019. What’s their status? What’s Barr hiding? Who’s next? @MeidasTouch #TickTockTrump

Joe Biden promises to protect and strengthen Social Security.

President* Trump wants to PERMANENTLY DEFUND SOCIAL SECURITY and empty our Social Security trust fund by 2025. @CAPAction #ProtectSocialSecurity

57% of Republicans believe that 176,000 COVID19 deaths (and counting) is acceptable. What would they find UNACCEPTABLE? @donwinslow #CommanderAndThief

@DoYouEvenLif #BidenHarris2020ToSaveAmerica

“Donald Trump has failed at the most basic and important job of a president of the United States. He failed to protect the American people. Plain and simple." @KamalaHarris

President* Trump is STILL trying to rip health care away from 23 million Americans mid-pandemic that has killed over 180,000 of us. Supreme Court will hear Trump’s lawsuit to repeal ACA on Nov 10. @CAPAction

President* Trump’s 2017 tax “cut” was mostly a handout to rich people. It pushed our tax rate on the 400 wealthiest households BELOW rates for all others.

THIS looting we don’t see in our news. #TrumpLoots

“Almost all of [the Trump RNC speech lies were] in his prepared text… The vast majority of his lying as president* has been ad-libbed. In campaign season, they start putting the lies in the scripts.”@ddale8

“His behavior is not saving lives, but causing hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths. It is therefore no exaggeration to say that we have a mass killer for president*.” Dr Bandy Lee @MeidasTouch

“President* Trump called our fallen troops ‘suckers’ and ‘losers’…
My message to Donald Trump: You have no right being Commander-in-Chief. You don’t know what it is to sacrifice.” @votevets #DontTrustTrump

President* Trump does not respect our American troops, and therefore he cannot lead them. Donald Trump’s selfishness, cowardice, and disloyalty make him unfit to be Commander-in-Chief. @JoeBiden

President* Trump LIED to Robert Mueller about his WikiLeaks knowledge; Roger Stone has receipts. President* Trump and Bill Barr corruptly commuted Stone’s sentence to protect themselves from our rule of law.

“The greatest lie Donald Trump ever told was convincing 62 million hard working Americans that he was ‘just like them.’" @donwinslow #TrumpIsNotLikeYou

Does President* Trump have Narcissistic Personality Disorder? @MeidasTouch #DJTHasNPD
