Here’s a Substack piece I wrote last September about how much the Republican Party DESPISES our nation’s military. And no one in the party has more contempt for the members of our armed forces than Donald Trump himself
They don’t refuse to admit it because they believe it’s true. They do it because fascists always try to create a world where there is no truth
So that people say “Well, Democrats and pundits say the election wasn’t stolen. But Republicans say that it was. I guess we can never truly know for sure one way or the other.”
Except THAT’S BULLSHIT. The 2020 election was NOT STOLEN. Trump LOST. And TRUTH MATTERS in a DEMOCRACY
One of the things that Jack Smith revealed in his most recent 165-page filing exposing the lengths that Trump went to to cling to power after losing in 2020 was that Trump said to family members:
“It doesn’t matter if you win or lose an election. What matters is that you fight.”
Vance and Trump have both repeatedly lied about Trump “salvaging/saving the Affordable Care Act.” Vance told this lie at least half a dozen times tonight. So let’s correct the record on Trump and Obamacare (the ACA) right now so there is no more confusion (Thread).
As president, Trump fought relentlessly to repeal the ACA using executive action, legislation and lawsuits. “Trump was not successful in undoing the ACA, but it was not for lack of trying,” said Larry Levitt, executive VP for health policy at KFF, a nonpartisan research group.
“Trump encouraged congressional efforts to repeal and replace the ACA, and then took administrative steps to try to weaken it when the legislative route failed,” he continued.
1. He’s a virulent racist (white supremacist is more accurate)
2. He’s a rapist (of at least 3 women including his first wife, E. Jean Carroll, and a 13 year old girl)
3. He’s a pedophile (who is on Epstein’s flight logs and raped at least one child with him)
4. He’s a traitor (owned by Russia for the last 3 decades; sold state secrets while in office; sides with our enemies)
5. He’s one of the dumbest people alive (he thinks we should nuke hurricanes, inject bleach, science is a hoax, and windmills cause cancer. Unfathomable idiot)
6. He is a malignant narcissistic sociopath with anti-social personality disorder, making him incapable of navigating reality, assessing risks, considering others, empathy, compassion, remorse, accepting responsibility, admitting mistakes, deferring to experts all out of reach,
“To the American People,
We are former public servants who swore an oath to the Constitution. Many of us risked our lives for it. We are retired generals, admirals, senior noncommissioned officers, ambassadors, and senior civilian national security leaders.”
She got over 81 million votes in the 2020 election
And watch her get over 90 million votes in November
All they can do is cry about how we have a nominee they can’t beat. Hate to break it to the cat turds of the world, but Trump wasn’t going to beat Biden either. And he has absolutely zero shot against Harris.
Another daily reminder:
Donald Trump tried to overturn the results of the 2020 election despite LOSING BY 7 MILLION VOTES. He conspired with far-right Neo-Nazi militias to attack the Capitol to prevent the certification of Biden’s victory and THROW OUT OVER 81 MILLION BALLOTS.
