“I also know that my story might have turned out very differently if I had been black, and that more black Americans of my generation would have ended up with far more wealth, had they been white." - @MikeBloomberg

“Confronted by a skilled examiner, Trump would melt down in minutes. He’d be humiliated, and he knows it — which is why he’s too terrified to give testimony under oath, and why it won’t happen.” - ⁦@gtconway3d⁩ washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/…
Trump sued me, then had to acknowledge 30 times during a deposition that he had lied over the years about a wide range of issues.

That time Trump, under oath, was caught lying 30 times:

“Like I have anybody over in the Ukraine? Are you serious? I’m a landscaper from Simsbury, Connecticut that was trying to get into the, the, the, the government relations, public relations world, the lobbying world, whatever you want to call it.“

“If Trump ends up celebrating the 2020 holidays with a second term in hand, how did it happen? The answers are notable precisely because they are prosaic and straightforward, and involve strategic bets that are already plainly visible.” politico.com/news/2019/12/1…
“Trump hopes to use his campaign’s enormous financial resources — his campaign has $83 million in cash and the RNC has $61 million in the bank compared to $8 million for the DNC — to attack the Democratic nominee before he or she can replenish resources after a nomination fight”
“RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said Democrats ‘are so far behind’ at state-level organization ‘they’ll never catch up this election ... even with all the outside money pouring in.’”

The Marlian Empire: A brief history on human history

[#Story thread]

Cc: @Oli_Ekun @officialnairam1 @Zinoleesky
T​​he year is 001 Marlian Era (ME) and the world has been rearranged into three regions: Natural Marlians (NMs), Marlians Ensuite (ME), and Barbarian Marlians (BMs). The NMs used to be Africans and Europeans. The ME covered the regions formerly known as Asia, and Oceania.
The BMs are the rest of the world.

The Marlian Conquest started as a slow, peaceful, and delightful movement from Lagos, Marlian Republic of Nigeria, which is now the capital of the Marlian Empire. The first Marlian was a lanky man, with legs intertwined like ropes, named Hafiz

The year is 3100, & memes have been banned. The interplanetary alliance (replaced the United Alliance, which replaced UN), now sits in Lagos, Nigeria. The IA is an alliance of Humans (CEOs of the top 1% tech companies), Robots, and life forms from other planets.
The IA has focused over the years on elevating all life forms to the deus (God) level, devoid of emotions, sentiments, and the weaknesses that make organisms vulnerable to outbursts, war, and constant laughter. We live in a serious world now, and you're either a part of it
Or you'll be purged. To be purged means to be uploaded to a server where your worst memories are played in a loop, while putting your consciousness in REM state, so that you are present, unable to run away, and feeling all the mental torture at once. Nobody makes it out of the

"White nationalism" is one of the dumbest things ever.
Back when I was Never Trump I ended up talking to some of those 'alt-right' white nationalist accounts. You know the type, "America was for WHITES ONLY!", etc. etc.
So I had a lot of fun reading this Thomas Wictor thread where he dissected the stupidity of "White Nationalism" like a scienstist cutting a frog in half.

quodverum.com/2019/03/77/the…
BTW, in case you haven't figured it out yet, the vast majority of those 'alt right' accounts on social media preaching a 'America for WHITES ONLY!!!' narrative were, in fact, Lefty trolls playing up the "Trump Supporters are Racists!" narrative.

1. Yesterday afternoon I noticed a man who appeared to be homeless sitting on the ground by my office. I walked by him again later that night. I was startled when I noticed his pants were pulled down a bit. I just kept on walking.
2. Then I was at my office early this morning and became concerned when I saw the man in the same spot. He seemed to be just waking up. Again, his pants were pulled down—but not in a sexual way.
3. I told the man that I was worried that someone would call the police on him and that he should pull his pants up. He seemed to understand and pulled his pants up.

You know what’s really sad about these high profile black men mocking T. Crews? Terry publicly told his story, saying he knew exactly why so many women accusing Weinstein stayed silent. His entire point was, if it could happen to him, a large, black man who ppl knew...
...who had some power & friends in high places, if sexual assault could happen to him, it could happen to anyone. And with his story, he did things “the right way”. He told his high powered friends & let his agency know. They said they’d handle it. Not only did they do nothing...
...they stopped taking his calls. This happened BEFORE Me Too. So he had to SIT with this. Knowing that this guy faced zero consequences. So when MeToo happened he knew EXACTLY why so many women stayed silent. They inspired him to tell his story. Instead of seeing the point...

#TheResistance can be even more effective if we create a #BlueWave in 2018, but we have to start now. Are you fired up? THREAD:
#TheResistance needs to kick the complicit GOP and their terrible agenda to the curb. Here’s our roadmap:
🚨 Fair warning: This won’t be easy. Even if Trump goes down in flames, this is still an uphill battle for us.
