Road to Unfreedom: Russia, Europe, America - Timothy Snyder;

“Trump’s advance to the Oval Office had three stages, each of which depended upon American vulnerability and required American cooperation.”

“First, Russians had to transform a failed real estate developer into a recipient of their capital.

Second, this failed real estate developer had to portray, on American television, a successful businessman.”

“Social media is broken. It has poisoned the way we communicate with each other & undermined the democratic process. Many of us just want to get away from it, but we can’t imagine a world without it.” Says who??

Fictive Doom & Gloom –
Why would we want to communicate the old way: Through filters of TV talking heads, huge long distance phone bills & paying for classified ads? I bet we talk to our kids (& each other) more now– via cellphone– than ever before.

Let’s attack Amazon so government can force us to subsidize shitty little businesses before Amazon eats the U.S. economy.

"Jake Tapper thinks fact-checking Donald Trump is no longer enough – and he's created an hourlong special exploring the effects on foreign policy, business & the national culture of the president's compulsive lying"
politico.com/news/2019/11/2…
Calling them lies is not enough. It is his "disinformation campaign" 24/7 which he learned from Vladimir Putin. Americans should read Timothy Snyder's "The Road to Unfreedom; Russia, Europe, America." How Trump's disinformation tactics mirror Putin's will shock you.
The audience needs to think more about the INTENT of the lies in a certain thread of them. The way the media handles it now (& that's only recent) is that Trump is a compulsive liar. This leaves the audience blind as to the intent & thinking he's just a mental spastic. Not true!

“subpoenas asked for communications & documents relating to Lev Parnas & Igor Fruman, along with a fundraiser at America First Action, a super PAC supporting Trump.”

The same PAC that's bribing Senate jurors for Trump’s Impeachment trial.

🚨JFC >> SO Trump acknowledged Russia’s election interference to Lavrov & Kislyak IN THE OVAL OFFICE!! Then said he was unconcerned about Moscow’s interference in U.S. election b/c US did the same thing. The Washington Post washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
🚨And here’s how it connects to #UkraineGate #WhistleblowerComplaint: The memo summarizing Trump’s Oval Offic meeting—where he told Russians #Russia’s election interference was OK—was limited to all but a few with the highest security clearances to keep it hidden. #Maddow #Inners
“White House officials were particularly distressed by Trump’s election remarks because it appeared the president was forgiving Russia for an attack that had been designed to help elect him…Trump also seemed to 🔥invite Russia to interfere🔥in other countries’ elections” #Maddow

Thread: #Trump Meets With Falun Gong Practitioner, Other Survivors of Religious Persecution theepochtimes.com/trump-meets-wi…
A practitioner of the spiritual discipline Falun Gong who was persecuted in China for her faith was among 27 survivors of religious persecution who met with President Donald Trump at the White House on July 17.
Falun Gong, a traditional Chinese meditation practice, has been brutally persecuted by the Chinese communist regime for 20 years. At any given time, hundreds of thousands of adherents are held in prisons, labor camps, and brainwashing centers, where many have been tortured.

#Trump starts his “major announcement” bragging about performing a swearing in ceremony in the oval office.

PEOPLE ARE NOT PROPS, JACKASS.

#TrumpAnnouncement
#Trump: Many mothers give their young daughters birth control for the long journey to America because they know they may be raped or assaulted.

The worst part of this? There’s no way to know whether it’s the birth control or the assaults that offend them.

#Trump is having trouble speaking. Somebody messed up his “Sudafed” dose.
