Woodward Tapes Impact Thread 1/18

It is difficult to grasp the relevance of a bombshell news item, as it happens. How big news is this? Trump, Covid, Woodward tapes. For the Trumpomess, is it just another scandal? Or is this worse? Maybe? The worst... ever?

#TrumpLiedPeopleDied
Woodward Thread 2/18

Trump Presidency is a Scandalothon. Impeached. The Helsinki Hostage Summit. Kids in cages. Love letters with North Korean Dictator. Drinking bleach. Bounties on US troops. Stormtroopers in Tulsa. Extorting Ukraine. Selling Puerto Rico?

How does this rate?
Woodward Thread 3/18

To understand impact. We start with the facts. What happened? Trump is on TAPE confessing to:
- Knew Covid is deadlier than flu ie 100,000+ will die
- Knew it transmits by air (= masks, gatherings)
- Confessed he downplayed it deliberately

So #TrumpKnew
Woodward Thread 4/18

This makes Trump a mass murderer. Genocide-level homicide. Not just 'willful negligence' - he knew that Covid will kill - & did not warn America.

He ACTED to cause MORE DEATH (against masks, held super-spreader events, feuded with doctors, etc)

#Trumpvirus
Woodward Thread 5/18

We now know - by Trump own words on tape with Woodward - that Trump KNEW Covid will kill 100,000+ and that it was airborne virus; and Trump admits he withheld this info from Americans.

That means he caused mass homicide. BY FAR his worst crime

#TrumpTapes
Woodward Thread 6/18

This is ON DIFFERENT LEVEL to any previous scandal: Watergate, Iran-Conta, Bill Clinton's blow job, Dick Cheney's wars, Obama's tan suit, or any previous TRUMP scandal incl his impeachment, Putin bounties, slaughtered Kurds

This is America's biggest scandal
Woodward Thread 7/18

The analogy is a deadly hurricane. When weather turns into deadliest hurricane in 100 years, the weather folks come on TV and say, no, the storm is ending, go out to swim, go take your boats to the sea. Is condemning them to die.

Is what Trump has done
Woodward Thread 8/18

Trump HIMSELF does not see what a monster he has been.

Most sane people see, what he did was mass homicide. Increasingly Fox and Republicans will come to that view. Too many REPUBLICANS have died for them to hide. But this is not a normal Trump scandal
Woodward Thread 9/18

Most scandals in Trump's Scandalworld are forgotten in a week. Remember evil "thugs in airplanes"? That was his delusion exactly a week ago. We can't easily tell, what is the 'Helsinki Hostage Summit' that remains while 'Finnish Forest Raking' is forgotten
Woodward Thread 10/18

The Woodward Tapes #TrumpTapes are the biggest scandal in the Presidency that has given us more scandals than all Presidents in past 100 years, combined.

This scandal is literally the biggest scandal in American political history. It will be Trump's legacy
Woodward Thread 11/18

President Donald J Trump, the Last Republican, decided to withhold life-saving info from Americans. And deliberately gave them advice that got more of them killed. By today, 193,000 dead. By election day, probably around 250,000 dead. Final toll, 300K+
Woodward Thread 12/18

There is no way to spin this. For the near 200,000 dead now, there are 10x more grieving relatives. 2 Million Americans. Spread across blue and red states. The Louisiana Mardi Gras in New Orleans was a super-spreader event, Trump could have prevented
Woodward Thread 13/18

That is the 'situation report'. The facts. You knew that or most of it. Now the analysis

NOBODY KNEW about the tapes until yesterday, Trump team got an advance warning only a day before. That is why Trump went silent on TW

We're in shock? THEY'RE in shock
Woodward Thread 14/18

The White House only listened in on a couple of the interviews. MOST were done PRIVATELY and 'secretly' by Trump. With Trump calling Woodward (not the other way!) at NIGHT from his bedroom. The bombshells from these tapes are SURPRISES to Trump & GOP
Woodward Thread 15/18

That is why Kayleigh McEnemy looked like she had been crying. She HAD been crying. She is forced to lie and defend Trump on words of total mystery - Trump himself has no recollection what Woodward has on his tapes. And nobody else in WH knows either
Woodward Thread 16/18

All Republicans facing election will now go into hiding, to try to avoid reporters. And to try to find a coordinated response. Remember, this came as a total shock to them as well - except that most GOP have been parroting Trump lies on Covid.

Oops
Woodward Thread 17/18

The blood of 193,000 Americans is on Trump's hands. Now Republicans have to decide. Will they stand with Trump. Or do they intend to have a career after November?

Remember the simple rhyme:
Trump Lied
Americans Died
Republicans Hide

#TrumpLiedPeopleDied
Woodward Thread 18/18

Trump turned GOP into Death Cult #Cult45

#GOP is Grand Old Pandemic

#MAGA is More American Graves Ahead

Trump doctrine:
Survival of the Richest

The terminal stage of Trump downfall (next 10 weeks) is a vicious cycle with no way out.

Trump NEVER had half of US voters to support him. His PEAK support (RCP average of polls) was at 47%. Never even half.

As his loss to Biden mounts (nearing 10 points today) GOP will abandon
As GOP abandon Trump, he cannot accept, forgive, try to win them back. He will STRIKE at all who abandon him. Worse, he does it immediately & in public.

That prevents anyone from coming back to support Trump. Once they turn, Trump essentially locks them out. His support shrinks
There was the 'RINO' and Never-Trumper wing of conservatives, many who have left GOP party and register now as IND. They won't vote for him. Many who didn't vote for Hillary, will now vote for Joe

But FAR MORE say so in public today, before Trump's convention! And Fox is turning

So short thread leading to Trump's most vile crimes

Trump is threatening American democracy. He luckily will not succeed in permanently damaging it, but there will be a lot to do to fix what he has damaged so far.

But there is much more

Trump crimes thread 1/9
Trump crimes thread 2/9

So Trump ALSO is damaging many American institutions or corrupting them, from his ICE Gestapo, to the DOJ, to Dept of Education (Betsy DeVos) etc

Trump is a real threat to world peace. We MAY still see him launch an attack on someone like Venezuela, Iran
Trump crimes thread 3/9

Then we have Mnuchin and Trump's kleptocracy. It is mostly hidden, will be seen after he is gone. He is robbing America. That is a huge - and VERY expensive crime, he is conducting with many in GOP as co-conspirators

Putin Alaska Thread 1/25

This is a scenario
A horror story, if you will
It is plausible
Military parts are 100% accurate
The political parts, you decide
Trump makes this plausible
I am 100% sure, Putin has this as 1 option for Trump
#TraitorTrump #TrumpTreason #TraitorInChief
Putin Alaska Thread 2/25

We know now, that Putin has paid Taliban bounty hunters to hunt US Soldiers in Afghanistan. And Trump knew this for 3 months, and did nothing. In fact, Trump tried to get sanctions against Putin lifted (re G7)

WHAT is GOING ON? Putin owns Trump...
Putin Alaska Thread 3/25

Let's talk Alaska. Most Americans remember from History class, that Alaska was purchased (in 1867) from.. Russia. Yes, Alaska once belonged to Russia.

What most Americans do not know is Putin's concept of 'Novorossya' (they should). Alaska is part of it

Trump & Pompeo want war with Iran
Iran doesn't want war with USA

Trump fired first. One strike
Iran retaliated, attacked 2 US bases

What next?
USA attacks Iran 1x, says we are even, lets talk?
USA attacks 2x (tit for tat)
USA attacks 3x
USA attacks 52x

Or stop?

#NoWarWithlran
Thread of Iran Escallation 1/24

I will extend my Tweet into thread on 'next move' escallation. When I wrote this thread, Trump had launched unprovoked military strike killing an Iranian General. It is an act of war. Illegal. Iran responded by striking 2 US bases
#NoWarWithlran
Iran Escallation Thread 2/24

First. The Iranian response. It was MEASURED. It was sending a message to USA, it was designed NOT TO INFLICT large military casualties on USA (at this stage). But it is particularly notable, that they struck TWO air bases instead of just one.

Nuclear War Iran Thread 1/36

This is part of a series of threads of a possible war Trump wants to start with Iran. Iran does not want this war. It was pushed by Pompeo since he became Secy of State & had been pushed by Bolton ever since that vile thing infested his upper lip
Nuclear War Iran thread 2/36

I have already written a thread about war overall with Iran, and about the unique weapon of killer drones, that both USA and Iran have, which USA has never faced before with any adversary. This thread is about nuke war. Can that happen in this war?
Nuclear War Iran thread 3/36

First. USA of course is the only country to have used a nuclear weapon in war. Dropped two atomic bombs in WW2, first on Hiroshima Japan, then on Nagasaki Japan.

This is me at the famous 'spectacles' bridge in Nagasaki 7 decades after the bomb

Drone Wars Thread 1/24

This thread is of drones as modern weapons of war, how they differ from previous aircraft, and what is prospect of drone use in a conflict with Iran.

Most Americans are utterly unaware of how dangerous Drone War with Iran would be.. to the USA
#WWIII
Drone Wars 2/24

Pre-programmed NON-remotely controlled weapons existed for hundreds of years. Navies would send unmanned sailships loaded with explosives to harbor of enemy ships etc. Nothing new about 'unmanned' weapons of war. Drones are REMOTE CONTROLLED weapons without pilot
Drone Wars 3/24

First radio-CONTROLLED remotely piloted weapon was the 'tele tank' used by Soviet Union in WW2 against Finland in 1939 in Winter War. Full-sized tanks, not manned, were controlled by radio from tanks behind, to crash through barriers like anti-tank mine field
