It is beyond disbelief @TheDemocrats and White House press corps from @CNN@MSNBC@CBSNews@nytimes et at are not RELENTLESSLY pounding Trump, @GOP and @WhiteHouse with questions based on Trump's voter fraud claims for every election in the last 10 years.
Questions like.../1
...1. Can you name an election cycle in the last 10 years when President Trump did not claim fraud in at least one losing race he had interest in?
2. Does President Trump still believe that @tedcruz committed fraud in winning the Iowa caucuses in 2016?..../2
...3. Does he still believe that voting machines in Arizona flipped votes in 2012 from Romney to Obama? And if so, why has he not produced evidence on that?
4. Does he still believe, as he said repeatedly in 2012, that the Electoral College undermines democracy?.../3
...5. Does he still believe that millions of dead people voted in 2012?
6. Does he still believe millions of Scottish citizens voted twice agains his candidate for Scot of the Year in 2012?
7. Does he still believe that millions of illegal aliens voted in CA in 2016?.../4
....8. Does he still believe that thousands of people from Massachusetts traveled in buses to New Hampshire to illegal vote there in 2016?
9. Does he still believe that signatures did not vote in Arizona in 20162, so the entire election needed to be rerun?...
...10. Does he still believe there was "serious voter fraud" in Virginia in 2016? Also, he never identified what that fraud was. Could you explain?
11. Does he still believe there was fraud in New York’s 12th District in 2018 when the candidate he supported lost?....
...then questions for the GOP: "President Trump has claimed voter fraud in every election cycle going back to at least 2012, including charges of vote-flipping, double voting, dead people voting. @Tedcruz himself said it was delusional. Did you agree with Trump that every one...
...of those elections was fraud? Note: This includes 2012, 2014, 2016, 2018 and now 2020.
If they mumble...
"Given that the President has claimed fraud in every election for the past 10 years, but no indictments have ever been charged, why do you think this time it's true?"...
...this is important. Because when people understand this is *what he has done every time he lost at anything, dating back to high school* the idea that these scum would damage democracy like this for the Boy who Cried Wolf is even more outrageous.

🚨🚨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!
...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
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
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 vanityfair.com/news/2013/06/e…
...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
