(BOOK EXCERPT) Trump is lying about supporting sending Javelin missiles to Ukraine in 2018. I can’t abide this, as I wrote the most comprehensive account of that sale in print. I’m releasing the uncorrected proof of that part of PROOF OF CORRUPTION in this thread. Please RETWEET. Image

PS/ This isn’t the only text on the Javelins in the 576 pages of PROOF OF CORRUPTION, but it’s the primary one.

(Note: I don’t get money from sales of the book, as my advance far exceeded earnings. I link to it here only because I want people to read it.) amazon.com/Proof-Corrupti…
PS2/ For those counting at home, the 2018 episode marks the *third* time Trump screwed with military aid to Ukraine for personal gain: 2016, 2018, and 2019.

In *each* case he fought doing *anything at all* for Ukraine—and relented only when he saw a clandestine personal benefit.
PS3/ As noted, I am releasing uncorrected proofs here—something I would never do outside the current global emergency—so that’s what the yellow flags are (i.e., copy editor’s notes).

Needless to say, the final version in the book is fully corrected and has no yellow notations(!)
PS4/ I also want to note that the Javelin scandal Trump was at the heart of stretched from 2017 to 2018—so in fact Trump was engaged in *withholding key aid* to Ukraine in *every single year* from 2016 through 2019, with him relenting in 2020 only after he was *impeached* for it.
PS5/ Never—*ever*—believe that Trump aided Ukraine in *any way* during his presidency. On those few occasions he allowed military aid to flow, it was (a) following a clandestine shakedown that benefited him personally, and (b) included strings attached intended to *please Putin*.
MORE/ In the event you missed it yesterday, I published a thread (see below) that includes much of PROOF OF CORRUPTION for free: the Introduction; half the Epilogue; the first 4 chapters; and links to key excerpts from 12 other chapters (the book has 44).
MORE/ As a reader notes, Trump also did nothing in 2018 to ensure the INF remained in place. Indeed one of the reasons Trump hired Bolton—whose view of Iraq Trump detested—was Bolton’s views on *Europe*. Here’s an excerpt from what an expert told Stanford: news.stanford.edu/2019/02/01/u-s… Image

If I'd told you that on the evening of July 4th on the nation's 250th birthday it would be 11:15PM, Trump would not yet have spoken, there would only be a few hundred people in attendance, and the event stage would be featuring a foreign opera, you would've had me committed
Whoa he just showed up and he looks absolutely livid at the tiny, low-energy crowd
Every time he strays from his milquetoast script it is either to make up lies about a Communist threat, babble repetitiously, or whine about how he has been treated

This crowd is so small I kid you not you can hear *individual people* cheering

This is humiliating to America

(🚨) So to be very clear, FIFA rules do *not* allow the USMNT to appeal the Balogun red card *on the basis of claiming the referee erred*.

But.

Under the circumstances, the USMNT should appeal on the very different grounds ESPN just reported on: misapplication of VAR protocols. Image
As ESPN explains, there's no doubt the card was issued on the basis of still images and slow-mo vids shown to the ref by VAR—and we know this because the ref didn't think the play was even a *yellow* card in real time. But such evidence can't be sent to a ref *in this situation*. Image
So considering the situation—the USMNT facing the biggest game in its history without its best player by far because of a red card almost the entire world agrees was absurd—it would be *scandalous* if the USMNT didn't at least *try* to appeal on the technical basis of VAR misuse.

People are missing the point.

It is not that the phrase Trump insisted be on new passports confirms that he doesn't know what a passport is.

It's that for a year not one person who works for him was willing to tell him so.

They will remain cowards when he declares martial law.
Donald Trump is a rabid dog. He has been a menace his whole life, assaulting and raping and defrauding with impunity. That is no longer news. What is news is that he is surrounded by an impenetrable cloud of cowardice. No one will stop him from the things he is about to do to us.
Because he's not just a rabid dog and a moral troglodyte but a knuckle-dragging moron, Trump told everyone around him to put a message on new passports that only makes sense if you've no idea what a passport is. No one stopped him. Not one corrected him.

And hundreds *complied*.

(🚨) A day after an orc lieutenant of Elon Musk, Gad Saad, put a Canadian mosque community at risk by lying about it using a public loudspeaker for its call to prayer, Saad has now published—and Musk again reposted—a snuff-porn-adjacent film in which a white man massacres Muslims Image
(PS) 24 hours before *that*, Musk reposted a thread implicitly calling for a UK race-and-religion war.

Casual observers could easily see the last 48 hours as being Musk losing more money than any human ever has while trying to incite mass murder.

🔗: bsky.app/profile/sethab…
Humanity is telling Musk fans they’re worshipping one of the most evil men alive. Instead of reading the thousands of reliable reports establishing why this is being said, these ghouls—because they’ve invested in Musk companies—do nothing. They’re exactly what you think they are.

Process the fact that—as of yesterday—if a tourist so much as dips a finger in the Reflecting Pool Trump ruined they get detained for an hour by multiple federal agencies

This is the police state Republicans hysterically warned of for decades, and now that it's here they love it
And if you wonder why the regime is detaining anyone who interacts with the Pool, it is—nakedly and unambiguously—because it needs false arrests to create the impression of civilian criminal activity that doesn't exist and is merely cover for Trump driving The Beast on the Pool
So Trump, using taxpayer cash, overpaid a Bribery-accused ex-con pal by 1000% via a no-bid contract with kickbacks, that guy ruined the Reflecting Pool, Trump then drove on the Pool out of laziness and further destroyed it, and now they're arresting civilians to cover their asses

There are men in CECOT—the worst prison on Earth—for wearing their hair too long. For loitering. For petty theft. For having the wrong politics.

And Musk and his peons applaud this for the same reason fascists always do: they’re sure it’ll never be them.

They’re *always* wrong.
That’s why Trump hates the study of history. He doesn’t want MAGAs imagining that CECOT may one day be run by Communists.

The prison system you want is the one that you’d deem fair *whatever* your politics are. Because the weapons you use will *always* end up used against you.
Crime rates are the product of hundreds of factors. They tend to be highest in places where policy is based on politics, not expertise. That’s why red states incarcerate the most people *and* have the most crime. Because we need experts setting complex policy, not partisanship.
