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?

Image
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?

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

Image
“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

“…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…”

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

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?

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

VOTE EARLY.

“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

“Was it fake news when President* Trump refused to defend U.S. soldiers after Putin and Russia put bounties on their heads? NO… The truth is: NONE of it was fake news.” @donwinslow #IsItFakeNews

“Being President doesn’t change who you are. It reveals who you are. It is what it is.” Michelle Obama @pttrn_ntgrty #TrumpRevealed

”Do NOT let them take away your power. Don’t let them take away your democracy. Make a plan NOW for how you will get involved and VOTE. Do it as early as you can and tell family and friends.” @BarackObama

"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...

(Billy Porter & Stephen Stills #Thankful )

PLEASE VOTE EARLY.

Please tell friends and family to VOTE EARLY, too.

“Do not let them take away your POWER. Do not let them take away your DEMOCRACY.”@Eleven_Films #BlueWave2020 🌊

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

“When I stuttered I used to t-t-t-talk like — like — th-this. And it took a lot of practice, but I promise you… YOU CAN DO IT.” Joe Biden to Brayden Harrington @JoeBiden #TeamBrayden

“I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose any voters, okay?” Donald Trump @donwinslow #TrumpsZombieArmy #TrumpChaos

President* Trump is besieged with allegations of affairs and sexual misconduct during all 3 marriages. His character is defined by betrayal, infidelity, and cruelty. @ProjectLincoln #TrumpChaos #TrumpCheats

“Be hopeful. Be optimistic. Our struggle… is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble…” John Lewis @Eleven_Films #EnoughIsEnough #BlackLivesMatter

Stochastic terrorism is “use of mass communications to incite random actors to carry out violent or terrorist acts that are statistically predictable but individually unpredictable.” Kurt Braddock @Eleven_Films

#BlackLivesMatter
“President* Trump’s actions and language are in fact racist. Those words gave permission to white supremacists to think what they were doing was permissible… We are less safe today because of his leadership.” @NeuSummits @RVAT2020

“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

“Dear Daughters we want you to grow up proud and strong in an America that believes in you. Free of name calling. Free of body shaming. Free of bullying. This is the America we want for you.” @ProjectLincoln

“Our generation has already taken to the streets, peacefully and with masks and socially distanced, to protest racism… Join me in pledging we have only just begun." Yolanda Renee King #MarchOnWashington2020

“All we’re asking is that you live up to the Constitution. That’s all we’re asking. For everybody. FOR EVERYONE.” Doc Rivers @ProjectLincoln

"The more chaos and anarchy and vandalism and violence reigns, the better it is…” Kellyanne Conway confessing that President* Trump uses violence to scare Americans into voting for him

President* Trump compares police shootings to golfers missing putts: “They choke. Shooting the guy in the back many times. They choke. Just like in golf tournaments. People choke. And people are bad people.”

“They throw the cans of soup… A can of soup, you can really put some power into that, right? And then when they get caught, they say, ‘No, this is soup for my family.’” President* Trump

“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 can’t stop violence because for years he’s fomented it… WE NEED JUSTICE AND SAFETY in America... We’re all born with right to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. ALL OF US.” @JoeBiden

“200,000 dead Americans… It didn’t have to be. If you hear one thing, let it be this: Don’t trust Donald Trump with your kid’s life or your own.” Gold Star father Bill Owens @votevets #DontTrustTrump

To Republicans who know President* Trump called American heroes “losers” and “suckers”: Has your party left you?

Please put country over party in 2020.@RVAT2020 #DontTrustTrump #WhyRepublicansAreJumpingShip

“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.

“Most troubling isn't how much collusion & interference there was by Russia in 2016, but that they aren't doing anything about it NOW for November. The Senate isn't here for history lessons!” Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63 #RubioReport

“President* Trump denies he was ever briefed on the Russian bounties. The White House was briefed and knew about the Russian plan to kill American soldiers a year ago.” @ReallyAmerican1 #TrumpHatesOurTroops

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

“Last time this happened, the end of Nixon’s presidency, Republican leadership… went to the White House and told Nixon he HAD to resign. And the facts here are EVEN GRAVER than in Watergate.” Carl Bernstein

“Now, as over 1000 Americans die each day, what is President* Trump’s plan? Pretend that the pandemic is over. Americans cannot afford to have a pretend president.” @MeidasTouch #PretendPresident #TrumpKnew

"If he can in any way profit from your death, he'll facilitate it, and then he'll ignore the fact that you died." Too Much and Never Enough @MaryLTrump

@MeidasTouch #TrumpGolfsAmericansDie #TrumpGolfsYouDie
“President* Trump said he didn't want to tell the truth and create a panic. So he did nothing and created a disaster.” Joe Biden

@MeidasTouch @JoeBiden #AmericaNeedsBiden #TrumpFailed
“Nonviolent resistance is the most powerful weapon that oppressed people can use… The most powerful thing that we can do is VOTE like we’ve never voted before.” @Eleven_Films #UniteAgainstTheViolence

President* Trump’s failure to lead led to 50 different strategies to combat one virus.

Why did President* Trump deliberately mislead Americans about the COVID19 threat?

@donwinslow #HowWeGotHere #TrumpKnew
President* Trump: “Just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats than under the Republicans...” @MeidasTouch #TheTrumpDepression

“Herd immunity is a dangerous strategy for fighting COVID19. The Trump Herd Immunity Plan will kill millions of people.” @ProjectLincoln #HerdMentality #HerdImmunity

“If I lose to [Joe Biden], I don’t know what I’m gonna do… I will never speak to you again. You’ll never see me again.”
— President* Trump

#VOTE @JoeBiden
“It will take strong people from both parties to say: Let’s get together and work for the good of the country. We are not experiencing the best of times, but there is reason to hope that we will see a better day…” #RBG #HonorTruthHonorRuth @pttrn_ntgrty

President* Trump is using the Supreme Court to destroy the Affordable Care Act and remove its preexisting condition protections. When he says “we’re signing a healthcare plan within two weeks,” THAT’S A LIE. DO NOT BELIEVE HIM. #TrumpsSheep @donwinslow

“It has been more than 80 years — 80 years! — since a Supreme Court vacancy arose and was filled in a presidential election year.” #MoscowMitch

@Acyn How many elections must Trump lose before @RepRaskin no longer has to warn voters about him?

#TrumpIsANationalSecurityRisk
@Acyn @RepRaskin “Trump’s lawyer argued that as president* he could order the assassination of rivals and face no prosecution unless he’s impeached and convicted. But of course he could just kill or threaten to kill Members of Congress who dare to impeach or convict him.”


@Acyn @RepRaskin Thank you for holding Trump accountable, @RepRaskin.
