@GovMikeHuckabee

In 2015, when Josh Duggar admitted to molesting 5 young girls, @GovMikeHuckabee said, “Josh’s actions... (were) ‘inexcusable,’ but that doesn’t mean ‘unforgivable.’”

In 2021, the child porn found on Duggar's PC was described as “the worst of the worst.” people.com/tv/josh-duggar…

@Jim_Jordan

According to the AP, a total of 2,200 total instances of fondling and 127 instances of rape attributed to Ohio State doctor Richard Strauss have now been tallied. When a referee told @Jim_Jordan what he has seen, Jordan replied, "Yeah, that's Strauss." nbcnews.com/news/us-news/r…

Despite having “served a prison sentence for the abuse of young boys,” Trump pal George Nader participated in diplomatic meetings with Jared Kushner and #QAnon hero Michael Flynn. Nader is now serving 10 years in federal prison for transporting a 14-year-old to America for sex.

@GOP

Ruben Verastigui, who worked for both the @GOP & Trump, was arrested for child sexual exploitation. The pro-life activist wrote: “Babies are some of my biggest turn-ons” & "discussed ‘in great detail’ how much he enjoyed seeing children be abused & killed” thedailybeast.com/ruben-verastig…

Republican #Kentucky judge and school board member Tim Nolan “who served as a Trump delegate and ballot observer” forced 19 victims to perform sex acts, including seven who were minors under 16. He was sentenced to 20 years. wcpo.com/news/crime/ex-….

@GOP

.@GOP state senator Ralph Shortey, Trump’s #Oklahoma campaign chair, was arrested in a motel room with a 17-year-old boy he hired for sex. Shortey distributed child porn and used Craigslist to seek casual encounters with males, the “younger the better.” nbcnews.com/news/us-news/f…

@GOP

Because #TrumpIsACompleteFailure in every way imaginable it's easy to forget ALL of the ways he's failed us. With the election just 100 days away, this THREAD and the attached article recap 10 key examples of Trump’s broken promises and colossal failures: thedailyedge.substack.com/p/trump-the-di…

#TrumpIsACompleteFailure Instead of the jobs he promised, Trump has presided over one of the worst economic disasters in American history. Since he became President: 7.8 million jobs have been lost — including 7,100 coal mining jobs and 274,000 manufacturing jobs. (2/11)

#TrumpIsACompleteFailure Instead of the “phenomenal” healthcare he promised, we have an out-of-control pandemic caused by a total failure in public health leadership, surging hospitalization rates, a growing death toll—and even Trump death panels. (3/11) thedailyedge.substack.com/p/the-trump-de…

@MattGaetz

Last night’s #60Minutes exposed Trump for playing the worst kind of pandemic politics—cutting funding for US researcher Peter Daszak, jeopardizing possible COVID-19 cure. Also exposed @MattGaetz and @TuckerCarlson for their role in the disinformation scam cbsnews.com/news/trump-adm…

@mattgaetz

This clip from #60Minutes shows how @mattgaetz and @TuckerCarlson spread dangerous lies that Trump then amplified at a WH press briefing in a sad attempt to smear Obama. Funding for vital research cut. More time wasted by Trump & Fox News as Americans die.

This part of the #60Minutes story shows Sec. of State Pompeo trying to spread debunked conspiracy theories on national TV, then backing off in embarrassment when fact-checked in real time. People are dying. This BS doesn’t help. #TruthMatters #FactsMatter

David Muir should not have allowed Trump to push his debunked China ban B.S.

In reality, 430,000 people arrived on direct flights from China after the outbreak began -- equivalent to the entire population of #Minneapolis.

Then Trump wasted #70days as the virus spread unchecked.

In February, nearly 2 million travelers arrived in the US from Italy & other European countries. Trump lied & said passengers from Italy, by then the global epicenter, were being screened. They weren’t. Trump’s failure CAUSED the disaster in NY, NJ & CT.

@ABC

On February 26, the same day Mauricio Marchiori flew to NY from Milan (see previous tweet) and told @ABC News how surprised he was that he was allowed to enter the US without any screening, Trump said: “The 15, within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero.” 🤦‍♂️

@realDonaldTrump

Why would America want to recreate the failed @realDonaldTrump economy?

In December 2017, #Trump claimed that his massive, deficit-busting tax giveaways for the rich and corporations would “skyrocket” the economy to 4%, 5%, even 6% GDP growth. (1/5)

In reality, the "Trump Economy" did not even reach 3% growth on an annual basis. Meanwhile, pre-#TrumpCrash the deficit had already skyrocketed—to $1+ trillion a year, with no end in sight. (2/5)

As for the debt Trump pledge to eliminate in 8 years: It soared to $24 trillion BEFORE the #TrumpCrash.

As for the autoworkers Trump promised his tax cuts would help: they saw 24,000 jobs disappear in the year BEFORE the crash. (3/5)

Bookmarking this. Trump is taking full ownership of the US economy. Says the current state of the economy is nothing to do with Obama and everything to do with him.

The truth is, the economy is slowing rapidly. Trump's tax cuts have been a huge failure. Feb growth will be <1%.

My latest on Substack:

Trump’s hot air alone won’t keep the economy afloat. And new data released on Friday illustrates how quickly the “Trump Economy” is plummeting back to earth. #SundayThoughts thedailyedge.substack.com/p/the-trump-bo…

@realDonaldTrump

BREAKING: Tucker Carlson finally speaks the truth: @realDonaldTrump’s incompetence, CDC budget cuts and cavalier attitude about #COVIDー19 has left America unprepared for the #CoronavirusOutbreak—and the already-faltering #TrumpEconomy is too weak to absorb the hit. #TrumpSlump
