1/ President Biden has offered a compromise to tens of millions of Republican voters who don’t want to abandon democracy. He has said let’s work together and destroy the MAGA movement. That is the compromise. It is necessary. It must be crushed to save America.
2/ Trump’s rhetoric is becoming more overtly extreme and is filled with promises of violence and revenge. He means every word. The Political coverage is filled with stories about fascists like @JDVance1 and @bgmasters trying to soften their anti woman extremism in time for Nov
3/ The American people must end this madness. The American people must rise up against the coward politicians who have gone off the rails and vandalized the American Republic to sate Trump and protect themselves from his ire. The fall campaign is underway and the choice is here
4/ Donald Trump is deranged, addled and depraved. He is unfit, disgraced and incompetent. He leads a minority faction that is beyond belligerent. They are teeming with menace. Enough. What they stand for is the worst cause since the last stand of Jim Crow and the Confederacy.
5/ The American way of life is utterly dependent on the American people picking their leaders in fair elections. The lies about the election results by MAGA extremists and Trump parrots have poisoned faith and belief in AmerIcan democracy and convinced millions of susceptible
6/ suckers that they live in an occupied dystopia that is plotting against them in a massive conspiracy that only Trump and his loyal team of patriots can stop. It leaves the overwhelming majority slack jawed while the Trump minority led by some of the worst politicians in our
7/ history stoke the most feeble among them with crude masturbatory fantasies about Civil War, race war, religious war, the end times and a thousand other permutations of apocalyptic idiocy. Around all of the teeming madness is a level of grift and corruption that beggars belief.
8/ America has endured great crisis-is in its history. Perhaps what is different about this one is the staggering investment on the part of so many in insisting that what is clearly happening isn’t at all. The great national gaslighting rolls along for now. Time to stop it cold

The use of the term FASCIST is appropriate, correct and historically accurate to describe the MAGA movement. Only TV reporters who don’t read and are ignorant of history are offended by its use. It seems they are mirroring the angry reaction of the fascists.
2/ The angry reaction by the fascists to accurately being called such by the pro democracy President of the United States is not the story. It is evidence of correctness and precision. Reporters flummoxed by the term are simply not competent enough to not be duped. They r marks.
3/ Was Charles Lindbergh a fascist? Was America First fascist? Is Donald Trump a fascist? Is MAGA fascist. Is Smokey a Bandit? Also a 🐻 bear? The answer is yes. It is an indisputable yes. It is a historic yes. Fascist isn’t a disparagement. It’s an accurate description.

1/You are wrong Lindsey. For example, you were just re-elected. You are a demagogue, hypocrite and man with no principles whatsoever. You lack character, virtue, toughness and guts. You are an apologist for the worst cause since the last stand of Jim Crow and the Confederacy
2/ The fact that you serve as a United States Senator and the Chairman of the Judiciary Committee is almost irrefutable proof of a national degeneracy. Certainly it speaks to either the lassitude, ignorance, stupidity or deep malice for the American ideal from SC voters.
3/ In essence @LindseyGrahamSC, you are the moral rot and it is important to be honest. Your election is an indication of a certain inbred rottenness. Thankfully, I’ve never lived in a state where you could get elected to the Senate. @MikeLeeforUtah is certainly an abomination

1/It is hard to contemplate the sickness and perfidy involved here by one of America’s greatest chaos agents, extremists and liars. McCarthy claimed to speak for millions the other day. Nonsense. He represents Bakersfield. He serves Trump on his knees like a servant. MAGA
2/ is an extremist movement that has occupied the institutions of the Republican Party completely which exaggerated its strength. Millions of Republicans will join Democrats to stop MAGA violence, lies, control, extremism and religious fanaticism. McCarthy will never be Speaker.
3/ When Kevin McCarthy’s last Speakership was falling apart with whiffs of scandal and the smoke of seemy and steamy recriminations rising from the Republican Conference guess who he called to help sort through the cluster of his life?

The crocodile tears and howls of grievance from MAGA extremists is unsurprising yet still amazing.

The lack of institutional self awareness on the part of so much of the media is also astounding to witness. It’s as if they don’t know they aren’t trusted. The reason is
2/ because almost nothing is on the level. There is conflict where there should be explanation. There is assertion where there should be discernment. There is arrogance where there should be humility. There is a a muddle of situational ethics, whataboutism and delusions
3/ around balance which has been reimagined to mean the establishment of negative buoyancy between the truth and the lie. Balance apparently means the state of maintaining the liars standing as equal to the truth teller so that there will be no offense given to the liar.

Questions for JD Vance. @JDVance1

How did you get paid on the fake opioid charity work? Was it by the death or prescriptions or a hybrid model?

When the corrupt MD’s you paid came to town and lied to the good people you grew up with about the pills killing them was it scrubs
or white coat? What was more believable? Your boy @DrOz was always more of a scrubs guy. Greenish if I recall. They have all the colors in the scrubs now. It’s nice. Except the brown ones. I bet you like them the best. Tell the truth JD. Did you wear your brown ones to see Orban?
3/ I think the entire nut pack of @DrOz @KariLake @bgmasters @HerschelWalker @SenMastriano and @JDVance1 is going down. What do you think JD ? Not looking good. The DC guys think you are an angry weirdo who is slightly less crazy than any of @HerschelWalker’s 12 personalities.

Want to know what a 105 mile an hour political fastball looks like? Watch below. Also, Thank God. The pack of malicious liars and bullies that have inflicted a politics of punishment and cruelty on their opponents is UN AMERICAN and must be stopped.
2/ The great crisis in the American Media is about balance. The extremist threat has taken over the INSTITUTIONS of one of the TWO parties. The result is one PRO DEMOCRACY party and one that is hostile in word and deed.
3/ Planes can fly with one engine down but helicopters cannot fly without their tail rotor. They spin and crash. That is what happens in a one party democracy. It Doesn’t work. The threat to democracy and the American way of life is coming from a single man, Trump.
