Trump, while speaking to audience at a HBCU: "A place called the Oval Office, have you heard about that? The Oval Office."
Trump claims his daughter Ivanka helped "14 million people" get jobs. She did not.
Trump compares systemic injustices in the U.S. justice system to the impeachment inquiry and his supposed persecution. Then he regurgitates the Fox News conspiracy theory about FBI agents. He is making this statement at a HBCU event about justice reform.
Trump says a lot of people "don't know" that Abraham Lincoln was a Republican, and that he and other Republicans should talk about this historical fact more so they learn it. (People know Lincoln was a Republican)

We do some wacky politics here but England seems insane. They clearly don't want to do Brexit, nothing can get through Parliament and yet they seem super set against just doing a vote to un-Brexit. Meanwhile Labour has its thumb up it's ass and is lousy with antisemitism.
I almost feel like because they have health care for everyone and have little reason to worry about some mass shooter murdering piles of their children they have less urgency? It’s not like they’ve solved everything but that’s two giant issues really not up for debate.
Also even their “right wing” party acknowledges science and there isn’t much of a religious zealot wing in their government.

When I see uk papers and pols getting in a tizzy about “knife crime” as an American I think “that must be nice.”

Why aren't Americans taking about the foreign influence in the US government that continues to send our men and woman to fight immoral wars?

#Trump when he campaigned for president, before he decided to let Adelson fund his campain!

Adelson was one of the biggest donors to Trumps presidential campain. Adelsons company saved 670 million dollars from the massive republican tax break. Adelson did not support the Iran deal & wanted the US embassy moved to Jerusalem.

Adelson has a direct line to #potus!

Adelson has private in-person meetings & phone conversations about once a month with #Trump!

Adelson used his access to move the embassy in Israel to Jerusalem and cut aid to Palestinians.

#Trump didn’t win the last election in #Wisconsin. If you look at the University of Wisconsin study of what happened in 2016, about 50,000 people couldn’t vote because they changed the ID laws at the last second. So Trump’s margin was BS. realresistanceradio.com/podcast/8-23-1…
By the way, in a 100 years of records, there hasn’t been anyone in #Wisconsin who’s ever tried to vote under someone else’s name. It’s a crime that doesn’t happen. The real crime is preventing people from voting. Think it can’t happen in 2020? Think again! realresistanceradio.com/podcast/8-23-1…
What happened in #Wisconsin in 2016? I break it down with Devil's Advocates Radio (@devilradio) host @DominicSalvia in this excellent interview first broadcast on Aug 23. To listen to the full half-hour interview visit: realresistanceradio.com/podcast/8-23-1… #VoterSuppression #ElectionFraud

🇺🇸 Two American cities united by grief.

🕯️💐 Residents of #ElPaso, #Texas and #Dayton, #Ohio have gathered to pay tribute to the victims of two mass shootings this weekend.
2020 Democrats have blamed President #Trump's rhetoric for the mass shootings, saying his language against minorities promotes racial division and violence.

They have also called for tougher gun laws.

Trump's been roasting Congress since 1993 lol
the first half hehe

Trump has been the same person ever since he's been in public eye, and yet, the American people still elected him...

When will the Democrats learn?
1999 - Roger Stone talked about the decision of Donald Trump to form a presidential exploratory committee. He focused on Trump’s membership in the Reform party, & Trump’s agenda for his campaign.
