Take a moment to remember #Trump is giving a press conference from a business where he charges anonymous freaks $200,000 for access to him, the most corrupt thing any ex or current president has ever done in American history by miles. And it never gets mentioned.

Mainstream journalists right now: “Can we say ‘rambling’? ‘Disjointed’? ‘Incoherent’? ‘Confused’? ‘Nonsensical’? ‘Delusional’?

“Can we say “lies”?

LIES. LIES. LIES
GOP Nominee: I went down in a helicopter with Willie Brown!

Willie Brown: That never happened.

Within 48 hours, Ukraine is said to have taken more than 300 square kilometers of Russian land in the Kursk Oblast.

That is how fast you can move, when raping women and stealing washing machines is NOT part of your method of operation.

Dear Media - Noah Lyles running the 200m final after a confirmed Covid test 2 days ago isn't 'gutsy' - it's mind blowingly stupid - he had to be wheeled off the track

Stop normalizing infections, stop with the 'just fight through it' narrative - you are complicit in fueling mass disability and death

#Trump: “We should have paper ballots, we should have voter ID & we should have proof of citizenship.”

Trump is (again) implying that #undocumented #immigrants are #voting.

FALSE

Every single federal election voter, in every state, in every district is required to be a citizen of the United States.

It is the law.

The Illegal Immigration Reform & Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996, explicitly prohibits noncitizens from voting in federal elections. It

American conservatism is the idea that the state delivering free lunches to your school kids is an overreach, but the state burning your kid's school books is just fine.

"The toxic amalgamation of dark money, technology platforms, unaccountable hard-right-wing billionaires, and far-right criminal gangs has pushed us to a global political tipping point."

"This is the kind of performance from Trump that, if the Republican party was still a functioning institution, would have a lot of people panicked and wondering about how to get him to drop out."

@benroyce @randahl

I disagree with “degenerated.”

Conservatism, in my lifetime, has always been about cruelty (and lies, and power) they were simply more skillful with language.

As time went by they dropped their pretense, and Trump was the logical result.

Given his newly-granted immunity, why isn’t removing DeJoy a Biden priority?

Folks in Georgia have been complaining about delayed federal mail service for months, as if that isn’t a precursor for later, ballot-related shenanigans.

Get Ready Now: Republicans Will Refuse to Certify a Harris Win

I am reminded of an old Al Franken slogan, "If it's not close, they can't steal it."

Get out there and vote.

Republicans Ask US Supreme Court To Reinstate Arizona Voter Suppression Laws - Democracy Docket https://www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/federal-court-strikes-down-provisions-of-arizona-voter-suppression-laws/

I'd let Kamala Harris and Tim Walz babysit my kids.

I wouldn't let trump or the JD anywhere near my kids.

"That is: when you read a New York Times headline that, say, reads “Trump and Harris Agree to September Debate” you have both an error in fact (Harris had long ago confirmed her attendence at the debate. Trump had ducked it and is now surrendering on this one), and a journalistic sin of omission–leaving out the entire tenor of the press conference and the fact that it was mostly a tissue of lies."

David Badash quotes conservative political strategist Mary Anna Mancuso, who said yesterday, “Trump is quiet quitting his own campaign," and who said after today's press conference, "Trump is not okay."

He also quotes Susan Glasser, who stated today, "Trump looks ill."

Some of us are old enough to remember when the media were all over Biden with questions about age and illness….
