So TFG is in deep trouble for intentional mishandling of classified documents — which BTW is exactly what he said Hillary Clinton should be ‘locked up’ for back in 2016. #Hypocrisy

2/during his reign of terror, he was found to have obstructed justice, extorted Ukraine by “perfect”call & held back military aid 4 a #quidproquo

He abandoned Kurds & left them to💀for oil apparently to appease #Erdogan for not allowing a dissident 2 b kidnapped off 🇺🇸 streets!

3/he released 5000 Taliban prisoners & gifted Afghanistan to the Taliban setting womens rights back 200 yrs — all w/out consulting Afghanistan’s leaders. Set arbitrary date 4 troop withdraw that screwed over everybody in the end & allowed Taliban to take over the country.

4/Who knows what he gave Saudis other than free pass for killing Khashoggi, tried to sell them ☢️ plans.

What did North Korea get from him? I want the interpreter’s notes!

Held secret mtgs w Putin & confiscated interpreter notes — what did they discuss? What did he give him?

5/him & his GOP sycophants passed #GOPTaxScam that gave $2.9T to corps & incl language in the legislation that personally benefitted him as a “real estate developers”. @RonJohnsonWI specifically held out for an amendment that would sweeten the tax break for a class of companies…

6/that are known as pass-thrus, since profits pass thru to their owners. Johnson’s last-minute maneuver benefited 2 families more than almost any others — both worth billions & both among the senator’s biggest donors — Dick & Liz Uihlein of packaging giant Uline,…

7/along w roofing magnate Diane Hendricks, together contributed $20M to grps backing Johnson’s 2016 reelection campaign. The expanded tax break Johnson muscled thru netted them $215M in deductions in 2018 alone by reducing their taxable income & will give them $500M over 8 yrs

8/but Ive digressed. In the 1st yr, 82 ultrawealthy households collectively walked away w more than $1B in total savings from the #GOPTaxScam incl Michael Bloomberg, Bechtel family & Dan Duncan.

9/Treasury economists found the top 1% of Americans by income have reaped nearly 60% of the billions in tax savings created by the pass-thru provisions incl TFG himself as a real estate developer. The bill initially incl’d a formula that restricted the size of a new deduction…

10/based on how much a pass-through business paid in wages that real estate developers didn’t like. This, real estate investors were given a side door to access the full deduction & language was added to the final legislation that allowed them to qualify IF …

Wait for it…

11/they had a large portfolio of buildings, even if they had small payrolls.

🤔 i wonder who benefitted from that?

Another gift to the real estate industry in #GOPTaxScam was a deduction of up to 20% on dividends from real estate investment trusts, more commonly known as REITs

13/TFG caused an failed insurrection !FFS! as fans of the outgoing president stormed the U.S. Capitol — shattering windows, prompting evacuations & injuring LEOs in the process — all to temporarily halt the certification of his opponent’s 2020 victory.

14/TFG “ran the gamut from gravely serious to the thoroughly absurd, a 1-term, twice-impeached president who 2 weeks bef the end of his tenure instigated a deadly insurrection at the citadel of 🇺🇸 democracy & obliterated the long-agreed-upon parameters of the post-presidency”

18/TFG spent considerable time at his own properties & ⛳️ clubs, substantially raising their profile, & even making 💰 from the fed gov along the way. TFG's company billed the US gov millions of 💵, incl for Secret Service agents to stay at his properties while protecting him.
