    1/2: In 2020, Trump called Democrats "fascists" in '20 while surrounded by military officials. No one remembers it bc Dems didn't feel threatened by his false claim. Today, MAGA Republicans are angry at President Biden for a similar remark. Because they know it's true.

    🧵 CNN just removed a far-right panelist for a racist remark against progressive commentator @mehdirhasan. This was the right decision. But as a former TV booker, what happened is part of a much bigger problem...

    Actually, Susan Collins was half right. Trump did learn a lesson from his impeachment, that GOP elites would tolerate and defend any criminality by a Republican president.

    🧵 It's really stunning how many people who claimed Democrats should "reach out to rural people" really just meant "be Paul Ryan." Tim Walz is everything these pundits pretended to want. What they actually wanted was a conservative Democratic party.

    Fox News censored every single Black speaker at the Democratic National Convention tonight except for Kamala Harris's brief welcome speech. What a disgusting display of racism! Fox censored: -Karen Bass -Laphonza Butler -James Clyburn -Jasmine Crockett -Raphael Warnock

    She did it: Kamala Harris called for a ceasefire while also saying she believes Israel has the right to defend itself. And also properly called Hamas a terrorist organization. She balanced it also by honoring the victims in Gaza as well. Perfectly done.

    Remember when Charlie Kirk called for Joe Biden to be executed for unspecified crimes? This was literally last year.

    Replying to @mattsheffield
    Related: While they rage endlessly about correctly being called "deplorable," violent right-wing commentators are simultaneously calling for the execution of Joe Biden. Charlie Kirk has the private phone number of every major Republican politician. This is who they are.

    Joe Rogan is one of the dumbest people on this planet. He just said that Joe Biden prerecorded the State of the Union address and didn't even realize that hundreds of Republicans would've had to have been in on the plot. x.com/SpringSpringB/…

    🧵 All the memes about JD Vance really boil down to that he is a deeply traumatized person who has decided to embrace the evil he experienced instead of transcending it. His first Megyn Kelly interview revealed who he really is. x.com/OhioLegisWatch…

    🧵 During my former days as a Republican media commentator, I was always frustrated that my fellow rightwingers were so lazy and biased that they routinely promoted nonsense w/o bothering to verify. Trump did this today falsely claiming that Kamala Harris faked a crowd w/AI...

    JD Vance is part-owner of one of the world's biggest platforms for actual Nazis. Let that sink in.

    Texas has so many additional taxes that its burden is actually higher than California's for middle-class people. California's taxes on rich people are significantly higher than Texas. That's actually why GOP commentators whine about CA taxes bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
