Donald Trump’s First Term Is a Warning https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/07/18/opinion/trump-presidency-record.html?unlocked_article_code=1.8E0.n7qE.MBVU_aSEud8T

#Republicans made themselves a laughingstock with their 15 tries to get (& then fire) a House #Speaker. Now the whiners in the smoke filled #DemocraticParty rooms are trying to outdo them by fragging their own #primary winner (by huge margins) & gossiping to the #CorporateMedia.

It is JULY. Like him or no, we win with #Biden or we do not win at all. These bratty BSer Big Cheeses can't even agree on a substitute. Czar #Trump will result.

Put civility in your rhetoric, said the people stringing razor wire among the drowning.

Wrong picture, #WashingtonPost. Use the assault on the Capitol pic, or a pic of the weapons he let in, or the noose pic, or a fake elector photo. He wasn't being prosecuted for this speech, & choosing this pic wraps him in glorious symbols he has degraded.

@FlashMobOfOne They are also the book banners & tax payer funded vouchers for religious schools ppl, the white only academy ppl, & the taxpayers-should-pay-me-to homeschool-my-kids ppl.

Church & state should be separate & posting anyone’s version of any religious commandments in US classrooms won’t change student behavior any more than forcing daily recitation of a quasi religious pledge has done. Next they will make kids pray. You know this is coming. It too will do nothing but degrade the schools further.

A grand jury of Trump's peers indicted him a year ago.

A different jury of his peers has found him guilty of conspiring & futzing around with his ledgers in the financial capital of the country, to cover up his un-condomed extramarital dalliances & abuses so he could (with the unforgiveably stupid outside aid of Jim Comey) win an election he'd otherwise have lost.

A third jury of his peers found him liable as a rapist.

And various judges have found him & his business guilty of fraud.

@mattsheffield Imagine him discussing making divorce harder with thrice married Trump.

@WarnerCrocker This is completely unsatisfactory. I know ppl question her motives but nothing makes it clearer that she is utterly incompetent.

@WarnerCrocker This is a very interesting development & handler apology. The "kid" is still a time bomb.

There is no greater indictment of the US education system than the fact that a very large percentage of the US adult population cannot recognize the most obvious conman in the world as a conman. I say this as a retired educator, & with enormous regret. We have failed.

@historicalimages it is a tandem bike ffs so I think BOTH adults are taking these babies for the ride
