This is so sad.

Look, *every* POTUS draws crowds. As a candidate, Trump *also* drew crowds, in fact crowds almost three-quarters the size of Sanders'.

I've been in this arena 30+ times. This video was taken in a way that hides the *entire* (largely empty) upper deck.

Grow up.
1/ What's so sad about MAGA cultists is that if they wanted to they could tweet and speak just like normal folks. Trump draws big crowds, like any president. All normal folks want him to do is *stop lying about his crowds*. If you can't get on board with *that*, you're a cultist.
2/ I (and most Trump critics) are reasonable folks. Say he drew a big crowd, we'll say OK. Show us a picture of 10 people who lined up 36 hours early, we'll say OK. Say that 48,000 wanted to get in and dozens were lined up 60 hours in advance, we'll *rightly* call you/him a liar.

(POLL) Did you know that Trump has privately floated to donors replacing income taxes with tariffs, which economists say would cost almost every American family $5,000/year *more* than they pay in income taxes right now while giving an annual $1.5 million tax cut to the top 0.1%?
PS/ Make no mistake, this is a proposal to send the United States into a Second Great Depression—a self-inflicted wound Trump might then use to attempt to seize dictatorial power and declare martial law. You *cannot imagine* the chaos and flame this proposed insanity would cause.

BREAKING NEWS: Along Utterly Predictable Ideological Lines—6-3—the Supreme Court Decrees That Machine Guns Being in the Hands of Every Wacko in America Is As American As Apple Pie or Storming the U.S. Capitol to Kill the Vice President of the United States nytimes.com/2024/06/14/us/…
We. Are. Lost.
(PS) Understand something: Congress Can Pass a Bill on It is just something these radicals say when Congress is controlled by their team and will not do so. If a Democratic Party-run Congress passed a bill banning bump stocks, these six would say it violates the Second Amendment.

Just found out that Elon Musk and all his creepy white supremacist friends are having a major b**** session about me here on Twitter

Some mildly threatening stuff, some vaguely antisemitic stuff, some claims about my mental health

IOW, typical neo-Nazi loser projection/snit-fit
What amazes me about this is *not* that Elon Musk follows me obsessively, as I have known that for well over a year, but rather that I just posted a thread in which his customers gave him over 500 suggestions for improving Twitter and instead of doing that he is obsessing over me
By the way—for anyone wondering why these guys are obsessed with me—understand that it has little to do with any special talents I possess but merely the fact that I catalog what these cretins actually say in their dank little digital lairs and *that* they absolutely cannot abide

BREAKING NEWS: Donald Trump, Long Rumored to Be A Prescription Drug Abuser, Given Special Treatment and Allowed to Evade a Drug Test During His First Post-Conviction Probation Meeting—Raising Questions About Whether MAGA’s Nominee for Most Powerful Person on Earth Is Now on Drugs
There’s been no explanation whatsoever for why this convicted felon gets to do what would normally be mandatory in-person meetings over Zoom, but we can already see the value in this special treatment for Trump, as it’s *essential* that he hide any illicit drug use from voters.
Remember—the man was convicted of trying to hide critical information from voters in the run-up to an election. Now the *very first* post-conviction decision made by the court system is possibly helping him to hide *another* critical revelation from voters who are entitled to it.

Just remember that every far-reich-wing MAGA attack on Dr. Fauci is a desperate attempt to deflect attention from the fact that *Donald Trump* so mishandled the pandemic that multiple studies have said that he is responsible for hundreds of thousands of innocent Americans dying.

Actually they're exactly as unhinged and dangerous as I thought

And they're exactly as unhinged and dangerous as I've been saying for years

And me and others who've been saying for years that they're this unhinged and dangerous have been met with little more than public scorn
Imagine the position we'd be in if the millions of us who told the powerful in America that these people were this unhinged and dangerous years ago had been listened to rather than laughed out of the room

And even now that we've been proven right, nothing's changed on that front
Trump did everything I wrote he did in the 2,000+ pages of the NYT-bestselling Proof Trilogy, everything I wrote that he did on my bestselling Proof substack, and everything I've tweeted that he did

By the time the Powers That Be accept the implications of this it'll be too late
