🇺🇸The media has become numb and impotent in handling the worst candidate in the history of US elections.
It’s time for the media to step up and do their job.
🧵that question why the media isn’t demanding Donald Trump to drop out!?
1/25Image
Trump's character is marred by a history of narcissism, deceit, and disrespect. His derogatory comments about women, minorities, and even his opponents reflect a personality unfit for leadership.
Why is not any major news outlets or pundits asking him to drop out? 🤔
2/25Image
Character: The infamous Access Hollywood tape revealed Trump boasting about sexually assaulting women, saying he can "grab them by the pussy." Such statements are beyond reprehensible. This should still be a reason for the media to be calling for his withdrawal. 🚫
3/25Image
Character: Trump called fallen soldiers in Normandy "suckers & losers." This profound disrespect for those who gave their lives for the country is appalling. Veterans deserve better; Trump should step aside. 🇺🇸
4/25Image
Character: Trump called John McCain "not a war hero" because he was captured. This blatant disrespect for a POW who served his country is disgraceful. He is not worthy of being in the race. 😡
5/25Image
Character: Trump mocked disabled reporter Serge Kovaleski during a rally, showing a shocking lack of empathy and respect for people with disabilities. Such behavior is unbecoming of any leader.
Time to step down. 😠
6/25Image
Character: How Trump shoved away Montenegro Prime Minister Dusko Markovic at a NATO summit serves as an example of what an arsehole he is and the disrespect he has for other people.
He is an embarrassment for the US internationally. 🌍
7/25Image
Competence & Stupidity: Trump’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic was disastrous. His downplaying of the virus and promotion of unproven treatments, including suggesting the use of bleach as a cure, led to preventable deaths.
Why is he still in the race? 🦠
8/25Image
Recently, Trump gave a bizarre speech, discussing battery-powered boats and sharks. He imagined a scenario where passengers chose between electrocution and shark attack, showcasing a lack of coherence and relevance.
Such incoherence is a red flag. 🚩
Competence & Stupidity: Trump proposed raking forests to prevent wildfires, an idea widely mocked by experts for its lack of understanding of forest management.
His lack of knowledge on many subjects is alarming.
He should withdraw his candidacy. 🌲
10/25Image
Competence & Stupidity: Trump claimed that windmills cause cancer, a baseless and ridiculous assertion that was widely debunked. His spreading of misinformation undermines trust in scientific facts.
He should bow out gracefully. 💨
11/25Image
Trump's presidency lacked significant achievements in key areas such as jobs, infrastructure, manufacturing, and foreign policy. He left a nation with little progress.
Trump needs to be confronted as the worst President in the history of the US. 🔧
12/25 Image
Policies: Trump's immigration policies, notably the family separation policy, were condemned globally for their cruelty and inhumanity. This is not who we are.
He will do it again. He should step down from the race. 🏠
13/25Image
Policies: His attempts to repeal the Affordable Care Act would have stripped millions of Americans of their healthcare. Such disregard for public welfare is unacceptable.
He has no new plan and It's time for him to step aside. 🏥
14/25Image
Policies: Trump’s environmental policies, including rolling back regulations and withdrawing from the Paris Agreement, have set back efforts to combat climate change and protect our planet.
For a sustainable future, the media should as him not to run. 🌎
15/25Image
Policies: His trade wars, particularly with China, harmed American farmers and businesses, leading to economic instability.
These actions should prompt calls for his withdrawal from the race. 🌾
16/25Image
Policies: Trump is bragging about being responsible for overturning Roe v. Wade and attacking reproductive rights, voting laws, and more.
If someone’s not asking him to drop out, this alone should be a reason to vote blue down ballot. 🔵
17/25Image
Trump faces multiple criminal indictments, including charges related to election interference and the Espionage Act.
He is also found guilty in the hush money trial.
Such legal issues should automatically disqualify him.
It's time for the media to ask him to leave the race. ⚖️Image
Crimes: A jury found him guilty of sexual assault in the E. Jean Carroll case, raising serious ethical and moral concerns. There are also claims from other women and serious allegations regarding the Epstein case. Someone with such a record should not run for office. 🚨
19/25Image
Crimes: Trump faces numerous legal challenges, including the Trump Organization's conviction for tax fraud, a $25 million settlement in the Trump University civil lawsuit, and the dissolution of the Trump Foundation.
For the sake of integrity, he should step aside. 💼
20/25Image
Crimes: Trump’s financial scandals, including profiting from his presidency, highlight a blatant disregard for ethical standards.
Why isn’t he confronted with this when he talk to the media or in debates?💰
21/25Image
Crimes: His abuse of power when he attempted to coerce Ukraine into investigating a political rival showcased his willingness to undermine democracy for personal gain. He should not be running for office again. 🇺🇦
22/25Image
Crimes: Trump's handling of sensitive national security documents and his willingness to show them to unauthorized individuals pose a grave threat to national security.
For the safety of the US and the world, he should not be allowed to be a candidate. 🔒
23/25Image
The accumulation of character flaws, incompetence, harmful policies, and criminal allegations paints a clear picture.
For the sake us all, the media must relentlessly question and follow up during debates and interviews.
The convicted felon Trump needs to drop out.Image

Meet Beka Odisharia—yet another troubling example of the kind of figures Georgian Dream elects to Parliament. Known for offensive behavior and anti-Western rhetoric, Odisharia represents the darker side of GD’s leadership.
1/6Image
A prime example of entitlement? His son was caught on video acting aggressively toward🇩🇪German police. Instead of condemning the behavior, Odisharia defended him, showing the impunity that runs in the family.
2/6

Odisharia's political career is filled with controversy. He supported the "foreign agents" law, which threatens Georgia’s Euro-Atlantic aspirations. His once called female MPs “a herd of unf*cked/sexually unsatisfied females,” during a debates.

🇬🇪Georgian Dream says they will ban the opposition if they secure a constitutional majority in the upcoming election, arguing that this mirrors actions taken by Ukraine and Moldova.
🧵Let's unpack why this rhetoric is not just misleading—it's dangerous for Georgia's democracy
1/9Image
🇪🇺Georgian Dream claims Ukraine and Moldova banned parties with EU support, but that the EU gets angry when Georgian Dream says the "same."
This is a gross misrepresentation of reality.
2/9
🇺🇦Ukraine banned specific political parties during its defense against an existential threat: the Russian invasion. These parties had direct, demonstrable ties to the Kremlin, aiding an aggressor in wartime.
Georgia's situation is vastly different.

🇬🇪The 2008 Russia-Georgia war is one of the most misrepresented events in post-Soviet history. Today, Georgian Dream (GD) is twisting facts about the war to serve their political agenda ahead of the parliamentary elections.
🧵We need to get the facts straight.
1/17Image
First, Georgia did not start the August 2008 war. Claims that Georgia initiated the conflict are part of a broader Russian disinformation campaign, now weaponized by GD for domestic political gain.
Let’s dive into why this matters.
2/17Image
In the lead-up to the August war, tensions had been escalating for years. Russia's creeping occupation of Georgian territories like Abkhazia and South Ossetia set the stage for the conflict, which came to a head on August 7, 2008.

🇬🇪BREAKING: Voter suppression in Georgia's October 26th election is intensifying. A recent Tbilisi court decision bars Transparency International Georgia @Transparency_GE from observing the election
🧵—here’s why this move is alarming and part of a broader trend.Image
Although TI Georgia hasn't been formally stripped of its status as an election observer, they are effectively unable to observe the October 26th elections as TI Georgia. For the first time in 24 years, they won't have a single observer registered at polling stations.
2/10
This ruling is not only absurd but blatantly designed to silence independent oversight. By treating TI Georgia as a political party, effectively undermining their role as an independent watchdog.

🇬🇪The pro-Russian rulers of Georgia claim they're the only safeguard of peace, insisting that a vote for the opposition will lead to war.
But history and facts say otherwise.
🧵 It’s time to expose GD's fearmongering and show how Russia's weakness is an opportunity for Georgia.Image
🔎 Let’s start with Russia. Historically, it has used force to maintain influence over Georgia, but today, Russia is far weaker than it's been in decades. Its military struggles in Ukraine reveal the cracks in what was once considered an "unstoppable" force.
2/22 Image
🇷🇺 Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was meant to be a quick, decisive show of strength. Instead, it’s become a drawn-out conflict, exposing massive military, logistical, and organizational failures. This reality fundamentally changes the security dynamics in the region.

🇬🇪GD's latest "war vs. peace" campaign is nothing short of a manipulative, fear-mongering ploy to scare Georgians into submission. By falsely framing every opposition party as warmongers, they're hoping to cling to power by spreading deceit.
🧵Georgians won't be fooled! 🚫
1/13 Image
🚩 Their graphic banners, depicting war-torn images of Georgia and labeling them with opposition ballot numbers, are a disgraceful attempt to sow fear and division. This blatant manipulation reeks of desperation, signaling a ruling party that has run out of genuine ideas.
2/13Image
💭 Let's be clear: Georgian Dream has nothing left to offer. When a government relies solely on fear-mongering instead of presenting a real vision for the future, it’s a sure sign they’re out of touch with the people’s needs. Their campaign is all bark, no substance. 🐶
