🇺🇸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!?
1/25
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? 🤔
2/25
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. 🚫
3/25
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. 🇺🇸
4/25
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. 😡
5/25
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. 😠
6/25
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. 🌍
7/25
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? 🦠
8/25
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. 🌲
10/25
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. 💨
11/25
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
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. 🏠
13/25
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. 🏥
14/25
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. 🌎
15/25
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. 🌾
16/25
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. 🔵
17/25
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. ⚖️
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. 🚨
19/25
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. 💼
20/25
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?💰
21/25
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. 🇺🇦
22/25
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. 🔒
23/25
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.

🇺🇸Amidst the media's focus on Joe Biden's age and debate performance, we must confront a stark irony.
Despite Biden's long list of achievements, the spotlight often ignores Donald Trump's numerous scandals, narcissistic behavior, and autocratic tendencies.
🧵on #USPolitics
1/24
American voters and people around the world should be concerned. Not about Joe Biden's age, but about how the US media is completely failing to do its job. Trump is still a candidate, not because he is a good alternative, but because the media is impotent in how they treat him.
📉 Trump's relentless stream of falsehoods has been documented extensively. According to The Washington Post, he made over 30,000 false or misleading claims during his presidency.
This level of deceit would disqualify any candidate in most democracies.

🇳🇴Norway and 🇺🇦Ukraine:
A closer look at Norway's support to Ukraine reveals a troubling trend. Despite Norway's massive financial strength, our contributions lag behind nations like Sweden and Denmark.
🧵 Let's dive into the numbers. ⬇️
(1/11)
💰 Norway has reaped massive financial benefits from the war in Ukraine, with increased gas prices (and sales) leading to over 1500 billion NOK ($143 billion) in additional revenue for ´22 and ´23 alone.
Yet, our support to Ukraine is far less than what our financial strength allows.
(2/11)
🇸🇪 Sweden has pledged 135 billion NOK ($12.9 billion) in support to Ukraine from 2022-2028. This includes a recent announcement of 75 billion SEK ($7.1 billion) in military aid for 2024-2026. Norway's total support? About 86 billion NOK ($8.2 billion) for the same period.

🇬🇪 There are interesting historical parallels between the 1920 Treaty of Moscow, which led to the establishment of the Georgian Communist Party and the eventual Soviet takeover, AND the establishment of the Georgian Dream party in 2012.
🧵... on the Georgian Nightmare.
/25
Historical parallels often reveal much about current political landscapes. Let's explore how past Russian tactics in Georgia resonate today through the actions of the Georgian Dream party.
#History #Georgia

In 1920, the Treaty of Moscow between Soviet Russia and the Democratic Republic of Georgia was signed. This treaty officially recognized Georgian independence but included a secret annex that required Georgia to legalize a local Communist party.

🇬🇪 As long as Georgian Dream (GD) governs Georgia, the country will never be a member of the EU 🇪🇺.
Not in 2030, not ever.
🧵Here is why Georgian Dream's continued power will be a tragedy for the Georgian people and why we have to expose their demagoguery.
#GeorgiaEU
1/25
GD claims to support EU path, as seen in Ivanishvili's April 29 speech and PM Kobakhidze's various deceiving statements. However, their actions reveal demagoguery aimed at comforting the people with false assurances. GD does not want to become part of EU. civil.ge/archives/602348
This demagogic messages is amplified by state-controlled media to hide Georgian Dream's true pro-Russian, anti-EU stance.
Their goal is to avoid exposure as the party that opposes Georgia's European aspirations.

🇬🇪 Are we witnessing the last months of a relatively free Georgia, and will the October election be the final step before the pro-Russian Georgian Dream party changes Georgia to a Russian-leaning autocracy forever?
🧵What’s at stake? Will Georgia be Belarusianized?
1/25
Since its rise to power in 2012, the Georgian Dream party has systematically taken control of key institutions, including the judiciary, education system, and regulatory bodies like the National Bank and Central Election Commission.
2/25
The judiciary, once a symbol of independence, has been filled with judges loyal to the party. This has compromised the impartiality of the courts, leading to politically motivated rulings. ⚖️

🇬🇪Shalva Papuashvili, Speaker of the Georgian Parliament, has become synonymous with autocratic governance, anti-democratic actions, and pro-Russian tendencies. He is dangerous in many meanings of the word.
🧵Let’s dive into how his tenure exemplifies these characteristics.
1/24
Papuashvili is dangerous because he, as Speaker of the Parliament, is instrumental in steering Georgia's government toward autocratic, anti-democratic governance.
2/24
He is also dangerous because he is diverting Georgia from its Euro-Atlantic path, which is rooted in its constitution and massively supported by the people of Georgia, toward Russia's sphere of influence.
