Since the media refuses to report on it, let me share what happens at a typical Trump speech:

1. He comes out to the playing of the “January 6 Anthem” song which he recorded with some of the most dangerous J6 rioters in jail.

2. He brags how his song with the J6 rioters gets more downloads than Taylor Swift (it does not)

3. He spends a few minutes talking about passing cognitive exams, and how the audience would not pass the exam, but because he is really smart (he is not) he is able to ace the exam.

4. He praises Viktor Orban, the leader of Hungary, who Trump says is the most respected leader in Europe (he is not).

5. He praises President Xi and says he is very strong and rules over 1 billion people with an iron fist and Hollywood couldn’t find an actor as tough as President Xi.

6. He praises Putin and says people say it’s a bad thing he gets along with Putin but he thinks it’s a good thing.

7. He makes weird noises reenacting lifting weights with a trans woman and he says “mommy I can’t do it. Mommy. Ughhh, uhh, mommy help me.”

8. He says he doesn’t like seeing President Biden at the beach and says he has a better body than Biden (he does not)

9. He talks about his hatred of windmills and his hatred of electric cars. He says he would rather be electrocuted than eaten by sharks however.

10. He praises the J6 insurrectionists and calls them hostages.

11. He whines about his court cases, attacks prosecutors, judges, and witnesses, and then praises “the great Alphonse Capone” and brags he was indicted more than Capone.

12. He quotes Hitler and says immigrants are poisoning the blood of our country.

13. He says he wants to be a dictator on day 1.

14. He plays QAnon music, audience members often make QAnon sign with their hands, and he talks about how America is a failing nation.

15. He does a weird dance and leaves. 1.

To these ‘Republican men’ who want to preach about being a man, listen up: There is nothing manly about spreading a deadly virus & spreading conspiracy. Nothing manly about preventing womens right to choose. Nothing manly about racism, sexism, discrimination of LGBTQ+.Not at all. To fill (or attempt to) the void of your own insecurities with external projections of cruelty and hate will still leaving you feeling empty. The venom you inject is a temporary drug that wanes quickly. Your drug dealer (wannabe oligarchs like Trump) are the only one who profits.

Thread: This is special. As a civil rights lawyer handling hundreds of wrongful death cases, a biased forensic pathology report by state-hired coroner often prevents accountability. A second independent autopsy costs around $10k making it prohibitively expensive in many cases /1 This first-of-its-kind program launched by Colin Kaepernick’s Know Your Rights Camp will fund secondary autopsies for free so families who lost loved ones in police-related deaths don’t have to worry about costs and can focus on getting answers they desperately need / 2

I think the most fundamental and existential issue facing @RollingStone right now (yes, there are many)is how do you take $200 million from the Saudi government that murdered an American journalist and use that money to pay journalists with Saudi Gov’t influence? The next issue is this treatment by @rollingstone of its workers. This some disgusting stuff!

On the next MeidasTouch Podcast I would like to talk about how growing up we went to Outback with our Dad once a month and we would all speak like Mickey Mouse to the waiter and the first of us to laugh loses. That should give you some insight into our childhood. I don’t know what made me just think of Outback or that story, and perhaps I should just make notes of these instead of share them with the world, but I didn’t want to forget this story.

Alright folks, if Loeffler & Perdue thought their legal threats would slow us down they are sadly mistaken! I am so energized right now we made a new brutal video about them called #StopTeamQ !!! When we get 2,000 replies & tweets with the hashtag we will release! #StopTeamQ Thread 🧵 1/ Sickos! Loeffler and Perdue used Georgia to play the stock market and line their pockets with inside information instead of actually doing their jobs. They have taken advantage of the trust given to them by Georgians and have spit in the face of their constituents.

Because Kelly Loeffler’s legal team @HVJTLaw threatened Georgia TV stations to remove our ads about her, we made a new ad that is even more brutal. It’s called #NobodyLikesKelly. When we get 1500 retweets and replies with that hashtag we will release the new video today. 1/ The title of our new video says it all:’Nobody Likes Kelly.’ Democrats, Republicans, Independents, and Trump supporters disagree on a lot. One thing we all agree on is that Kelly Loeffler is an entitled looter carpet-bagger fraud who should much more be in prison than...
