By the way, @Mattgaetz -please also investigate @tedcruz, who Trump said committed fraud in '16 Iowa Caucuses. And the '16 NH vote. And Virginia vote. And CA vote. And Scot of Year award in 2012. And Emmys, 05-10. Because Trump lost all those & said it was fraud/rigged each time.
...wait, @mattgaetz - I left out some. Trump also said the Nobel Prizes were rigged (2018, 2019), the Reform Party nomination process was rigged (2000), an analyst's report saying his casino was in trouble was a fraud (1990), a loss of a casino contract was a fraud (1989).../2
...not done yet, @mattgaetz. You see, the problem is, the guy you are kowtowing to to destroy yourself in history as a guy who attracked democracy has screamed fraud every time he has lost in the 33 years I've known him. So let's keep going.../3
...he also said that the crummy verdict he got on his lawsuit against the NFL was because the case was rigged (1986), that he was denied an NFL franchise because the process was fraudulent (1984). Oh, also @mattgaetz - he said that the resale prices of his condos in official.../4
...records of resale prices were fraudulent, and that a magazine report that records showed resale prices in Trump Tower fell was fraud. (He then told New York Post, using his John Barron persona, that the magazine publisher's wife called him at the office begging for sex).../5
...so yah, @mattgaetz - you better think about the long term downside here. Every allegation of fraud that this man has uttered in the last few decades will be thrown in your face in history books as you're held up as the schnook who harmed U.S. democracy for a conspiracy theory.
...and @mattgaetz? Im reminded by @ThePierreAlexis: when Trump was in school, a guy sitting next to him got a better grade then he did. So he said it was because of cheating. So yah. He is a malignant narcissist who cant admit losing. Youre going to harm America indulging this.
...so @mattgaetz. You may think this is fun & games. Youre playing with atomic bombs, & might set something off with people fearing theyre losing democracy, for real. If history is any lesson, they go for soft targets. Politicians, me, anyone. None of us will be safe. So stop.

🚨🚨LET'S PLAY A GAME. It's called "Which Election." I'll show tweets from elections Trump claimed fraud after he or guy he supported lost. The game: Guess which race!

I hope @RepSwalwell @tedlieu @RepKatiePorter etc play this game on House floor with @mattgaetz et al.../1
...when they try to overthrow democracy because Trump says "fraud" for the millionth time.

The rules: You get 1 point if you guess the year. On difficult ones, I will give a second point if you guess the race.

AND HEEERRRE WE GO WITH THE GAME "WHICH ELECTION"..../2
...Let's start with a toughy. This is from a series of tweets proclaiming how voters should react because the person declared the winner only won through fraud..../3 Image

Why @GOP is killing us. It is more than COVID denialism. Its their inability to get how everything connects. Sure, providing desperately relief in the COVID outbreak is needed as humanitarian act. But it's more than that. People need to stay home & businesses need to survive.../1
...if people can't afford to stay home, they wont. If small businesses can't survive without income, they will open if they can. If people who are unemployed dont have enough to survive, they will be seeking work. Dumbass @LindseyGrahamSC slammed unemployment boost in this....
...saying "Well, people just won't seek out work." In adapted words of John McLain, "No fucking shit, @LindseyGrahamSC!" Thats the whole idea. If we shut down, and gave people and small businesses what they need to survive - not big corporations, not billionaires - we could.../3

If our government communicated real public health information, this would not be necessary.

COVID is NOT a respiratory disease. That is why it is nothing like the flu. It is a vascular disease. Look at the blood splatters in this room. A 13 year old boy died of COVID there.../1
...blood on the floor, on the walls, on the machines, all from a child in his final minutes of life. His mom, a medical professional, put this photo out to try & get people to understand: THIS IS NOT THE FUCKING FLU. What happens with COVID is not that your lungs are loaded.../2
...with virus. COVID creates blood clots in your vessels. All over your body. Thats why they are finding heart damage, kidney damage, brain damage. It's also why people who, when COVID positive, can die on airplane flights...washingtonpost.com/travel/2020/12…

Why Trump's pardon-a-thon is stupid. Under Burdick v. US, anyone who accepts a pardon - even these "not gonna tell you what for" pardons - is confessing to a federal crime. Any of them who accept, whether the CFO or @IvankaTrump or anyone, will be asked in civil depositions...
...what federal crimes they committed that led to a pardon. If they say "none" then the pardon should be void (hard to tell, because preemptive pardons have never been done before.) Then, @POTUS can be deposed and asked what he was pardoning these people for having done.../2
...if he doesnt identify one, there is a strong argument under Burdick that - if the president didnt know what he was pardoning someone for, there is no valid pardon. A pardon is not a blanket to prevent prosecution of cronies. If they do acknowledge a crime, that can be used../3

If you think Snowden should be pardoned, you don't know all he did. He disclosed secrets to China: our surveillance for gathering info on its nuke program was instantly destroyed. So Russia shut down arms talks cause they knew we were blind on China.../1

...in other words, just that ONE thing destabilized global nuclear arms control. Why? Either because he is some stupid arrogant schmuck who didn't know what he was revealing, or he was a spy all along. Why tell China OUR secrets? He revealed.../2
..our surveillance through Pacnet EAC-C2C fiber-optic submarine cable network in Asia. That, too, was wrecked. We lost surveillance abilities of communications between Hong Kong, China, Korea, Taiwan, etc. Did we miss info that night have helped with HK democracy movement?../3

Isn't it interesting how no conservatives objected to this conservative *man* who wrote books attacking liberals since he calls himself "doctor" because of his PhD in business? Hmmmm...
....hmmmm...and look here. He calls himself "Dr. Kissinger" too. Yet such silence by the Dinesh Dsouzas of of the world for decades....
...hmmm...and look here. Former Texas Senator Phil Gramm not only calls himself Dr., but even made sure that the award in his name had the honorific Dr. in it...
