(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

I'll say this however many times people need to hear it: Elon Musk doesn't support H-1B visas because it gets him the best employees, or because he has no other options, or because he can't find qualified U.S. workers.

He needs workers who are visa-insecure so he can abuse them.
America is watching Elon—a lifelong con man—con MAGAs into believing there's insufficient homegrown engineering talent to staff his companies. That is a damnable lie and profoundly anti-American. Elon is merely covering up his corruption with slurs against America and its people.
But it's worse than this, as the simple fact is that if Elon were a better businessman and boss—and a genuine innovator—he would have no difficulty succeeding with American workers.

So his slurs against America and its workers are *also* intended to obscure his own incompetence.

Trump won by 255K votes in the 3 states that decided the election. A swing of 128K votes in those states and Harris is POTUS.

Estimates have him winning under 50% of the popular vote.

MAGA lost Senate races in WI, MI, NV, and AZ. It may lose the House.

Hard to see a landslide.
The margin of victory Trump will end up with, 1.5%, is the smallest margin any incumbent party in the developed world has lost by post-pandemic, and in case you did not know, this is the first year since World War II in which every incumbent party has lost in the developed world.
We were told VP Harris received 20 million fewer votes than Biden.

We were even told that that supposed fact proved the 2020 election was stolen.

But by the time all the votes are counted, the data indicates Harris will have received only about 4 million fewer votes than Biden.

(🧵) The 2024 U.S. presidential election was *not* stolen: a THREAD.

RETWEET for anyone in your life going down this road. Image
1/ Some notes to start:

1⃣ I’m as devastated by this loss as anyone—for more reasons than I can say or readers will know. Please understand, I feel the same pain as you.
2⃣ If contrary hard evidence emerges, I will say so.
3⃣ I worked on post-vote stolen-election claims in 2004.
2/ Every analysis—and many of the ones I mean are coming from the *right* (using current data to “prove” that the *2020* election was stolen)—that relies on *current* vote tallies is bogus. Millions of votes are still being counted, and the final results will look very different.

(📢) PROOF EXCLUSIVE: Proof of Consequences, Vol. 1: Where America Goes Now

🔗:

This one is nearly book-length, but it’s a barnburner. It’s FREE with a one-week trial of PROOF, a Top 25 U.S. Politics substack.

Please RETWEET this so everyone can see it. sethabramson.substack.com/p/proof-of-con…Image
1/ A lot of people are asking me whether the lengthy report above—like I said, it is probably nearly book-length (and surely novella-length)—will address the allegations now floating around social media that the 2024 presidential election was stolen.
2/ Many of you probably do not know that I got my start in so-called bigtime national political journalism in 2004—bigtime, at least, in the sense that major media outlets (e.g. ROLLING STONE) covered my political journalism. At the time I was mostly focused on the 2004 election.

Just a quick note here in advance of Trump and Musk crashing the economy in 2025: Trump voters are going to blame Democrats for that too.

Read up on fascism and cults and stop assuming we have a rational electorate that’s actually looking at economic indicators. It simply isn’t.
If anyone is looking ahead to 2025 and thinking that when Donald Trump breaks things, kills people, ends alliances and treaties, and endangers all of us he’ll be blamed for it, think again. You can’t *imagine* the degree of pain he’ll need to cause people before they turn on him.
Trump is a proxy for issues in people and culture Democrats can’t resolve via politics. He is a fever that will either kill this country dead or bring it so close to death—and I mean spectacularly, painfully close to death—that the fever breaks. Democrats better learn that quick.

(🧵) ELECTION THREAD: I’ve been waiting all night to say anything substantive about what’s happened, as I felt—I still do—that I might say something I’d regret.

I hope you’ll consider following along as I try to process this with you all, and try to do it responsibly. Please RT. Image
1/ The New York Times gives Trump more a 90% chance of winning the election. Barring a miracle—and none is on the horizon at present—he will win.

And if by some miracle Harris won, it would be such a shock that it would almost certainly cause widespread Trumpist violence anyway.
2/ He isn’t just winning. At present this is shaping up to be a landslide. This is not Harris doing as Biden did. This is not Harris doing as Clinton did. This is Harris losing Texas by 15, Florida by 13, Iowa by 14, Ohio by 11...

This is Trump *wildly* outperforming all polls.
