@MollyJongFast You ever notice how whenever Republicans says what is *going* to happen in the future as a result of policies - whether good or bad - they are always wrong?
@MollyJongFast ...some examples: 1. Tax cuts pay for themselves. (nope) 2. Deregulating the thrift industry will save it (There used to be banking institutions called S&Ls. GOP deregulated in 1981 - dead in 1989) 3. Giving Iranian moderates weapons will help America. (We were conned.).../1
@MollyJongFast ...4. Raising taxes will cause a recession (This is what they said on Clinton tax increase on the rich. Let to biggest economic boom in history.) 5. Abolishing some bank regulations will help the economy (Led to the 2008 Great Recession).../2
@MollyJongFast ...6.U.S.–led bombing of Yugoslavia would be a disaster. (No NATO casualties, ended a genocide.) 7. Bin Laden was a front for Iraq (This is why they ignored 9/11 warnings in June 2001. GOP Pentagon officials said it was a false flag for Saddam.).../3
@MollyJongFast ..8. Iraq had W.M.D., war would be a short & cheap (No WMDs, longest, most expensive war in US history) 9. COVID will just disappear (It didn't.)
It goes on & on. They say what they WANT to be true. Then deny every form of expertise that contradicts what they want to believe

My rage at @HawleyMO comes from having seen democracy in other countries decay, & the result. I dont doubt that, if the House had shifted a few seats, a party that cant win the popular vote would reverse the election. I know what happens: Mobs would raid homes of politicians.../1
...their families would be kidnapped, car bombs would explode at airports and the office buildings of corporate contributors who brought this destruction. A war would begin, and the military would be used to put down pro-democracy protesters, just like in China. But.../2
...it wouldn't play out the same. Everyone would be armed. Worse, we would then be the biggest threat to global security in the world. An unstable country with the kind of military we have would be universally seen as a threat. I could not imagine where things would go from.../3
Hey @HawleyMO@SenHawleyPress - I presume, given youre willing to throw America into chaos simply because Trump screams "fraud" with no evidence, you will also take on these. The "fraud" of @tedcruz. I assume you will make a referral to the ethics committee. And what about.../1
...this one. I expect you will attack the election of the first African American president because a racist psychopath screamed the machines were rigged..../2
...and you will continue to attack the election @HawleyMO@SenHawleyPress of the first African American president because a racist psychopath screamed signatures "didn't match".../3
I want to explain this, since fucking moron @marcorubio is spreading more COVID disinformation. (After pushing to the front of the line for vaccines.) Fauci hasnt lied once. Marco is too stupid to understand science. When more data arrives in science, recommendations change.../1
...in March, when Fauci said masks not necessary except in places of high infection rates (hospitals etc), COVID was though to be like other diseases caused by coronaviruses (a type of virus, not solely COVID.) Those primarily spread by hand. Also, no one knew COVID was.../2
...aerosolized. This means it could linger in the air, & move around a room for as much as 7 minutes even infecting someone nearby but not in front of you. Masks were needed by doctors etc. because 1. They know how to use them (most people didn't), and the primary purpose.../3
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
🚨🚨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
