THE BIGGEST CON AND TRAITOR IN AMERICAN HISTORY—As Trump wages a re-election campaign that he is..losing, his finances are under stress, beset by losses and hundreds of millions of dollars in debt coming due that he personally guaranteed.”-⁦@nytimesnytimes.com/interactive/20…
BIGGEST LOSER: “Hanging over him is a decade-long audit battle with the Internal Revenue Service over the legitimacy of a $72.9 million tax refund that he claimed, and received, after declaring huge losses. An adverse ruling could cost him more than $100 million.”-@nytimes
BIGGEST TRAITOR, BIGGEST LOSER, BIGGEST LIAR.
CHISELER:

“Trump has an established track record of stiffing his lenders. But the tax returns reveal that he has failed to pay back far more money than previously known: a total of $287 million since 2010.”-@nytimes

Hot Type: We Need a Lion

In my latest column for @BylineTimes I write that in this time of unprecedented peril, Americans desperately needs Joe Biden to rise from his slumber and help save democracy

1/
In a Rose Garden photo op, President Joe Biden promised a peaceful transfer of power. By contrast, the incoming Trump regime is promising state-sponsored violence on day one. 

2/
You can’t have a peaceful transfer of power to a regime that is promoting violence. Trump is promising to destroy America with a regime of pro-Kremlin sycophants. He has declared war on America. He is promising the initiation of mass deportations at 12:01 pm on January 20, 2025.

A House United

Repairing a reality destroyed by Putin’s network — a reminder why truth and unity is paramount and why this is no longer about politics bettedangerous.com/p/a-house-unit…
“It is imperative to intensify criticizing Hillary Clinton.”—“Secured Borders Facebook Group”, a fake US page run from St. Petersburg, Russia, 9.14.2016

2/
“… (a) particular hype and hatred for Trump is misleading the people and forcing Blacks to vote for Killary. We cannot resort to the lesser of two devils. Then we’d surely be better off without voting AT ALL.”—“Woke Blacks,” St. Petersburg, Russia, a fake Black Instagram account, 10.16.2016

HOT TYPE: Welcome to West Russia

In my latest column in @BylineTimes I report on the alarming parallels between Russia in the ‘90s and the grim US post-election forecast.

“Nothing good is going to happen here in a long time.”

1/
“Nothing good is going to happen here in a long time.”—filmmaker Ernst Lubitsch, at his going away party in Berlin, December 14, 1932

2/
People ask me how I’m doing, and I tell them, “I’m tired”. Like Madeline Kahn as Lili Von Shtupp in Blazing Saddles, “I’m exhausted.”

@BylineTimes “There are men everywhere who would sell out humanity for their own personal profit. There are stupid and emotional masses everywhere who can be found to follow them, given a few slogans and some nice uniforms.”—Bella Fromm, Blood & Banquets, A Berlin Social Diary, 1943

2/
@BylineTimes I have spent the last eight years investigating the Trumpocene and Russian information warfare, and the last six months, deeply immersed in research on Weimar Germany.

3/
@BylineTimes The gravediggers didn’t have to triumph. In 1932, Hitler’s National Socialist party was fracturing, haemorrhaging members, and many in his orbit were showing him only a “performance of solidarity, imposed devotion.”—The Gravediggers: The Last Winter of the Weimar Republic.

American Redemption is Our Last Best Hope

In my latest “Hot Type” column for ⁦@BylineTimes, I urge Americans of faith to challenge Trump's Christian Supremacy and redeem the soul of America

1/🧵 bylinesupplement.com/p/american-red…
It never made any sense, how the most religious people I knew in 2016 became the most virulently anti-Hillary Clinton. More shocking was how they became ardent Trumpists. Church on Sunday, and MAGA-hatted all week.

2/
We’ve told the story of how the Christian right embraced an amoral man many times on these pages, but we’ve never told the story of redemption.

‘The Gravediggers Didn’t Have To Triumph’

Genocidal dictatorships comprised of ‘sorcerer’s apprentices and windbags’ are not inevitable.

Excerpts from “The Gravediggers: The Last Winter of the Weimar Republic” bettedangerous.com/p/the-gravedig…
“The gravediggers didn’t have to triumph.”—Rüdiger Barth and Hauke Friederichs, The Making of, The Gravediggers

I woke up Tuesday morning to a crime scene. My highlighter had bled all over my duvet cover, as I tried to work through the night to finish the final pages of The Gravediggers: The Last Winter of the Weimar Republic. I’ve been reading the book for a couple of months, but repeatedly pressing pause to read the reference books used to lay the foundation for The Gravediggers.
