President Zelensky suggests Trump's election can strongly affect war.
The result of the upcoming 2024 U.S. presidential election can "very strongly" influence the course of Russia's war against Ukraine, President Zelensky said during a press conference on Dec. 19.
This is what I’ve been saying about a lot of this Biden hate being performative BS by people who don’t actually vote anyway
To be clear, this is no time to get complacent, but we shouldn’t be doom & gloom either
NYT: "#Biden leads by 6 pts among voters who particip in 2020 election while #Trump holds 22pt lead among those who did not vote in ‘20.
In our est, needless to say, 2020 nonvoters less likely to vote in 2024;that’s why we show Biden ahead among likely voters”
Biden campaign on #Trump's 'poisoning the blood of our country' remarks:
“Donald Trump channeled his role models as he parroted Adolf Hitler, praised Kim Jong Un, and quoted Vladimir Putin while running for president on a promise to rule as a dictator and threaten American democracy. Trump is not shying away from his plan to lock up millions of people into detention camps and continues to lie about that time when Joe Biden obliterated him by over 7 million votes three years ago."
Classic Trump: say something crazy outrageous, neo-Nazi-like & it gets headlines, creates outrage
So wait a little. Then say it again, no one notices, no coverage & it gets normalized and mainstreamed.
Let’s be clear: migrants ‘poisoning the blood’ is Hitler rhetoric.
#Trump: They’re poisoning the blood of country..They poison mental institutions & prisons all over the world not just in S America…but all over the world they’re coming into our country from Africa, from Asia
👀 Koch gang is endorsing Haley, plan to spend millions to defeat #Trump 🍿
“The political network founded by the #Koch brothers is endorsing #NikkiHaley in the Republican presidential primary race, giving her organizational muscle and financial heft as she battles Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida for second place in Iowa.” #2024election
Serious question. Did they find any evidence yet in all the trials and stuff going on that clearly shows #Trump intentionally want the capitol riot?
When it happened I saw little clear evidence it was intentional but at the same time based on his behavior and personality I totally would expect it was intentional and somewhere at some point there might have been a record of him saying he wanted it.... If there is any actual evidence I'd love to see it if anyone has any as I havent been following as closely as I should.
He summoned a mob, some of whom were armed, in the weeks before J6, telling them the election was stolen. He was inviting them to something called the 'stop the steal' rally. People attending knew beforehand the plan was to march on the Capitol, and this just happened to be on the day Congress was certifying the election results. In the midst of breaking into the Capitol, he tweeted that he loved them. Now it's time for your block.
ICYMI, ChristoFascist Mike Johnson met with Crime-oFascist Trump at MarALago last night.
Via Emptywheel:
Waiting to see whether #Trump ordered Speaker Mike to trigger impeachment at the Mar-a-Lago visit.
Jordain Carney:
NEW: House GOP nearing a decision on pursuing #Biden#impeachment articles. They want to wrap up nearly all depositions this year and make call as soon as January.
Holy shit. Univision, the nation's largest Spanish-language network, has decided to cancel ad-buys by the #Biden campaign in Nevada, Arizona, Pennsylvania, & Florida after #Trump met with their executives last week. Our media continues to fail us. This is how our democracy dies.

Funny in a deeply cynical and dark way though.
Cutting off friends to get deals from people who hate you and plan to do you harm, is some next level grotesquery
Pres #Biden: "Let's be absolutely clear what Trump's bragging about. The only reason there is an #abortion ban in America is because of Donald #Trump. The only reason teenagers in Ohio are being forced to travel out of state to get their healthcare is because of Donald Trump. The only reason a fundamental right has been stripped away from the American people for the first time in American history is because of Donald Trump."
"The only reason a fundamental right has been stripped away from the American people for the first time in American history is because of Donald Trump."
As much as I would like to agree, this is not correct. #TFG did not plan to hijack #SCOTUS decades ago, the real enabler of this disastrous development.
He is doing everything he can to get someone killed.
Via Kyle Griffin:
In a dangerous move, Donald #Trump just reposted a statement calling for a citizen's arrest of AG James and Judge Engoron.
New York law only allows for a citizen's arrest when a person has 'in fact' committed a felony in the presence of that citizen, according to Lisa Rubin

Odd how the Trump Superpacs cannot give money to the party.
What ever happened to all that donated money? Oh, yeah. It went to Trump's legal problems and disappeared in other ways.
2/ 100s of people spending tens of millions of $ to install pre-vetted, pro-Trump army of up to 54,000 loyalists across govt to rip off restraints imposed on previous presidents.
Social media histories are already being plumbed.
If Trump were to win, 1000s of Trump-1st loyalists would be ready for legal, judicial, defense, regulatory, domestic policy jobs. His inner circle plans to purge anyone viewed as hostile.
& the people leading these efforts aren't clownish figures like Rudy Giuliani.
3/ The most elaborate part of the machine is a résumé-collection project:
Applicants are asked to "name one person, past or present, who has most influenced the development of your political philosophy" — and to do the same with a book.
Another query: "Name one living public policy figure whom you greatly admire and why."
