You want to know who David Perdue is? He's about as corrupt as they come, because there's only one thing he seems to care about -- how much money he can make off being a US Senator, and it's coming at a cost to our veterans and active-duty military. (1/5)
Perdue maximized profits off his investment in a defense contractor, steering billions to submarine construction projects, all while being the chair of the Senate Armed Services Subcommittee on Seapower. (2/5)
Perdue also diverted defense money to Trump's border wall. This hit Georgia hard with roughly 70K active-duty military. It's more than clear Perdue never made Georgia or our military a priority, just his bank account and allegiance to a wannabe dictator. (3/5)
In addition, Perdue also voted to strip healthcare from half a million veterans with his vote to repeal the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. (4/5)
It's one thing to talk tough and look as though you're a patriot who supports our veterans and military, it's another to actually do it, and Perdue only puts himself first. He can't be trusted. #GAsen#Georgia

He wants to know? Ok. We’ll tell him.
Military ballots are Mail-in ballots! The same ballots that he said he didn’t want counted.

Ballots will still be coming in from overseas, somewhere he never had the courage to personally go, for days.

And last we checked, Military Times had Trump LOSING the military vote to Biden. Which is probably why he wanted them blocked not only in Georgia, but in other states as well.

With just a few very tight races left in battleground states, it's clear that our program was able to help turn out thousands of military families and veterans. #VoteVetsVoteBlue#Election2020
(THREAD w/ state stats)
In Georgia, our program sent over 77K texts to military families and veterans, of which, we ID'd 12K hard Biden supporters, 5,278 of whom voted early or by mail.
In Nevada, we sent over 37K texts to military families and veterans, of which we ID'd 6,600 hard Biden supporters, 2,547 of whom voted early or by mail. #VoteVetsVoteBlue#Election2020
First, DOD says if you have symptoms, you must inform your supervisor and STAY HOME. Clearly that didn't happen.
Second, service members must quarantine as soon as they exhibit symptoms. This didn't happen.

DOD also says if you've been in contact with someone who has COVID, and you're asymptomatic, you should still quarantine for 14 days. Today, it seems a number of WH staff are at work, despite potentially being exposed.
Positive test results don't always show up immediately.

Donald Trump likes to claim that he wants to end #ForeverWars.
So why hasn’t he? Because he doesn’t want to.
(Thread)
First, Donald Trump is a liar who has not only NOT ended #ForeverWars, he’s actually opposed efforts to do so, making Americans less safe and the world less stable.
Trump gave a speech in 2017 about getting troops out of Afghanistan. Right now there are approx. 8,600 troops in Afghanistan.
VOTEVETS: 28 GOLD STAR FAMILIES SLAM TRUMP ON 4-YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF KHAN DNC SPEECH
"Trump knows NOTHING of sacrifice or service to this country..he cares NOTHING about the Constitution nor the men & women who risk and lose their lives in its defense"
In 2016, Khizr Khan told Donald Trump: “You have sacrificed nothing and no one.”
After four years...it’s only become more painful and clear: Donald Trump knows nothing of sacrifice or service to this country, Donald Trump knows nothing about honor.
