While Republicans are smearing #DragQueens, #teachers and #librarians as "groomers," a GOP candidate in South Dakota THIS NOVEMBER was arrested for grooming and raping a family member over multiple years—and the @sdgop didn't even ask him to drop out of the race.
While Republicans are accusing others of being sexual predators, another GOP candidate in South Dakota this November LOST TO HIS MOM and then went out and raped a woman in the bathroom stall at a bar.
And that's not all:
Last year, the richest man in South Dakota—a YUGE GOP donor—was being investigated for child porn.
Yet somehow this politically connected billionaire ended up facing no charges.
Since the beginning of March 2021, more than 50,000 people have died in Florida of #COVID19.
That's a higher death toll than any other state—one that is simply unacceptable in the age of free vaccines.
How did Ron DeSantis manage to cause so many preventable deaths? 🧵
May 2021: After Biden's first 100 days, the new administration had put Trump's vaccine rollout failure in the rear-view mirror. But suddenly Fox News and Governors like DeSantis decided they didn't like Biden succeeding at "Warp Speed." thedailyedge.substack.com/p/idiocy-trump…
July 2021: "There’s a reason Florida is powering ahead of the rest of the country in new Covid deaths. His name is Ron… Ron DeSantis... his failed leadership has resulted in Florida now accounting for 20% of all new US infections." thedailyedge.substack.com/p/the-maga-pla…#DeSanticide
Trump didn't care if Mike Pence lived or died on January 6th.
Despite that, every single day since, @Mike_Pence has embraced Trump's and the GOP's lawlessness, marching alongside violence-inciting Ultra MAGA Republicans on the path toward fascism. thedailyedge.substack.com/p/mike-pence-b… (1/x)
On January 7th, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer called on Mike Pence to invoke to #25thAmendment: “If the vice president and Cabinet do not act, the Congress may be prepared to move forward with impeachment,” said Pelosi. (2/x)
Pence Didn’t Act. But Trump Did
On January 13th, Trump began unleashing new waves of pardons and commutations—handing out nearly 200 more get-out-of-jail-free cards to a rogues’ gallery of accomplices, friends, donors, traitors, spies and assorted ne’er-do-wells. (3/x)
When Mormon mother of three and niece of the former GOP standard bearer @MittRomney of Utah, Ronna Romney McDaniel became @GOPChairwoman on 19 January 2017, she had a choice to make. (1/4)
Would McDaniel:
a) Speak out forcefully against the kinds of behaviors the pussy-grabbing, teen-ogling sex predator Trump and his pedophile associates were normalizing and insist that the @GOP reclaim its role as staunch defender of “Christian” virtue and values?
or:

b) Would @GOPChairwoman choose to betray America’s children and endorse the child rape and sexual exploitation happening in plain sight, thus accelerating the GOP’s descent into a fetid sewer of perversion and pedophilia?
Back in April 2019, as Trump’s reckless trade policies had already plunged US #manufacturing into recession, the Carnival-Barker-in-Chief continued his hyping of the “Trump Economy” by tweeting “JOBS! JOBS! JOBS!” to celebrate the creation of 196,000 #jobs in March 2019. (1/x)
Trump's “JOBS! JOBS! JOBS!” tweet ignored the the fact that when Obama was President, Trump responded to a sub-200,000 jobs report by telling us it was “not a good sign” and “we could be facing another #recession.” (2/x)
The Obama-Biden recovery powered on for several years beyond Trump’s 2012 prediction of recession. It was an expansion strong enough even to survive 3 years of Trump’s corruption and incompetence. In July 2019, the Obama-Biden recovery became the longest US expansion ever. (3/)
