To most voters, Britt's lies are egregious & they know she lives in a RW bubble. The cross she wears, while she lied about Biden & migrants in the SOTU rebuttal & on Fox, indicates her hypocrisy, & willingness to elevate #TFG's anti--IMG/mass deportation plan. GOP voters aren't aware of her lies, & RW media shares the blame with R leaders. She claims she didn't mean to smear Biden by falsely implying an assault that happened 20 years ago happened under his watch. #GOPLieshttps://www.foxnews.com/video/6348621792112
"Trump’s Angry Rant About Biden’s Speech Showcases MAGA’s Ugliest Scam. Biden’s SOTU pushback on MAGA anti-IMG rhetoric was a start -can be more forceful-.
They oppose the border bill bc it'd make the system work better in allowing migrants to enter in an orderly, rule-bound way & didn’t kill Biden’s parole programs, which admit tens of 1,000s of migrants monthly who apply, reducing pressure on the border."
Fox & other RW media outlets will need to use #AI or other methods to show that Biden is feeble given that he was fiery & robust at the SOTU. Republicans project bc #TFG takes drugs & is truly...
"Floundering right claims Biden must have been on drugs."
"During Biden's speech last night, you could see the right recognize in real time that their attempts to brand him as a dementia patient were failing & coalesce on a new narrative: Biden was on drugs." -M Gertz
From @flexghost
Biden speak about the border control he was planning to make better at the SOTU.
But GOP to not give the vote.
But GOP to not give the vote! Now complain Biden doing nothing.
Just dirty GOP work and what a layer Katie Britt is.
Commander #MikeJohnson's big plan for America under Republican control is... #DefundThePolice. Seriously. See, when they accuse the Democrats of doing it (they weren't), it's a terrible sign of our nation's downfall. But when the #Christofascist Campbell Soup Kid proposes it, it's like Jesus himself came down from wherever Jesus lives and blessed our godly country. There's only so much of this bullshit I can take.
Many of #TFG's voters have lived in a RW media bubble most of their adult lives. They truly believe Dems are devils, immigrants are... B/w 2005-24: ~3,000 newspapers in the US: closed.
If Bruce’s main source of news is RW media like Fox News -she might never have heard about TFG's Nazi dinner. In Nov & the 1st half of Dec of 2022, the incident was mentioned in 89 segments on CNN & more than twice that number on MSNBC. On Fox -only mentioned 7X-..
How can Pres Biden get the message about his economic successes to voters? Many are planning to vote for #TFG/Rs bc they believe Rs' lies -amplified on RW media.
"Biden's America isn't perfect, but things are pretty good! The facts about the Biden economy are positive... If you can’t get ppl to see that as a happy picture, not only does the right benefit in specific electoral terms, but the whole project of pursuing those goals tends to fall into discredit."
Rs get schooled, but most will still amplify the lies:
"You got GOP MOC, talking about the border every chance they got so you'd think they'd be interested in addressing it -but a bipartisan bill from one of the most conservative members & Dems working/negotiating, making tough decisions *going to have trouble with, came in, hammered that out," he said -noting that TFG, who's not even an elected official" came in to "kill it with the chill that he put on R MOC." #GOPLieshttps://www.rawstory.com/buttigiegs-gop-roast-ruffles-cnbc-host/
Infuriating, bus executives know that immigration is critical to their profits, but they continue to vote Republican bc their taxes will be lower. A shortage of workers will result in lower profits.
"$7T is what the CBO says the current surge in immigration will add to the US economy over the coming decade by expanding the labor force & adding demand."
Bloomberg fails to report that Dems support #ImmigrationReform & Republicans have blocked it for decades.
New polling from a top Dem pollster finds mixed news for Team Biden on this front: Large swaths of voters appear to have little awareness of some of #TFG's clearest statements of hostility to democracy & intent to impose authoritarian rule in a 2nd term, from his vow to be “dictator for 1 day” to his vague threat to enact “termination” of provisions in the Const. Maddening -but presents the Biden campaign with an opp. -plenty of time to make voters aware of them. #GOPLieshttps://newrepublic.com/article/179548/poll-voters-trump-dictator-threats
Republicans are saboteurs. They believe that a fascist autocracy under #TFG is better than a democracy. Dems must inform voters as to the sinister tactics used to hurt Pres Biden:
Scanners that spot smuggled fentanyl at the border sit unused bc Congress hasn't provided the cash to install them. The money to install the screeners was in the supplemental funding request Rs blocked. CBP has spent millions on the most up-to-date high-tech scanners-.
We know this disturbing fact, but many Americans don't understand why they have difficulty making ends meet, & some blame Pres Biden, & it's amplified by Republicans & RW media.
"Growing income inequality in USA over past 3 decades."
-Ian Brenner
#TFG is following Orban's playbook, includes: aligning with Putin, Great Replacement Theory increasing the number of "white babies", weaponizing immigration... & numerous historical references.
"Why Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Meeting with Viktor Orbán Should Terrify Us All. It’s time to get serious about the rise of the global far right & why its worldview poses such a dire threat."
House Rs cut funding for LE & refuse to pass a border bill (loyal to #TFG) while they claim it's Biden's/Dems' fault & use racism to reduce IMG:
"When #TFG/#MAGA bash the border crisis -really saying Biden is failing to protect the ethnic & racial composition of the US."
-J Heibrunn
"HSE Rs are bragging about how their sticking point for funding the govt was cutting funding for fed LE while simultaneously preparing to run a campaign blaming Biden for rampant crime *it's⬇️."
-M Gertz #GOPLies
"HSE Approps CMTE cut the IMG court’s budget by $16M. Given inflation *steeper cut in practice. Beyond parody for a system bending under such severe weight.
FY 2023: BP carried out over 2M arrests at the S border, 6,477 or less (0.3%) involved someone who'd a prior criminal conviction unrelated to IMG on record. To win asylum, a person has to prove -have a "well-founded fear of persecution" on account of a protected ground." -A Reichlin Melnick *IMG expert
#TommyTuberville, consistently rated the most intellectually and morally bankrupt person in the Senate, says immigrants don't know anything about God which is, in his mind, valid justification for denying someone entry. This guy is one of the biggest dumbshits currently breathing. He so clearly knows nothing about any topic that it's mind boggling that he was elected.
Republicans, #TFG, Netanyahu, Putin... LIE. There's a pattern here.
R-led HSE Oversight CMTE on Thurs released the full transcript of Hunter Biden's closed-door testimony. The doc, at 229 pgs. with some redactions, underscores -disconnect b/w what HSE Rs have repeatedly alleged are criminal actions by H Biden & his father & the documentation & testimony they've made public...
Republicans haven't presented any evidence of wrongdoing by the pres.
Everyone, esp. MSM, needs to pushback against #TFG/Rs' lies re migrants.
57% of Americans: a large number of migrants seeking to enter the country leads to more crime. Rs (85%) say the migrant surge leads to⬆️crime. Crime data from the cities targeted by TX's “Op. Lone⭐,”: overall crime levels dropping in those cities that've received the most migrants. "There’s no evidence for there being any relationship b/w somebody’s IMG status & their involvement in crime.”
#JamesComer is a certified disgrace who delivers lie after lie to his assembled press, but immediately deflects and dissembles when those same reporters confront him about his lies, and the actual facts. And he's not even good at it. Anyone above room temperature can immediately see what this POS is doing.
The world isn’t on track to meet its climate goals & it’s the public’s fault. Exxon CEO Woods: the world has “waited too long” to begin investing in a broader suite of technologies to slow planetary heating. That heating is largely caused by the burning of FF, & much of the current impacts of that combustion —rising temps., extreme weather -predicted by Exxon scientists -half a C ago.
Agree, Americans need to understand that Republicans poisoned the country with treason, #TheBigLie, endangered nat. security with #TFG's presidency & still further it by shunning #democracy. The USG provides nat. sec., a social safety net...
"Biden should tell the public what the govt knows about Trump's collusion. We've a right to know, bc we've a right to a free & fair election; our norms can't be exploited to help a corrupt candidate cover up his cheating."
In defense of Pres Biden -informs readers re Republican IMG LIES:
Rs continue to blame vulnerable migrants fleeing violence, hunger, & natural disasters for illicit drug smuggling: >90% of fentanyl, & >80% of total illegal narcotics, arrive at legal points of entry—not b/w -smuggled largely by Americans—not undoc. migrants. Migrants accounted for <9% of fentanyl trafficking convictions in FY 21, comp. to >86% for US citizens-
*By a Dem Rep-from The Hill 2023:
Inciting violence & lying should be disqualifying, but with #TFG...
"Migrant crime is going to be worse than any other form of crime.”
2015 TFG announced his candidacy, said: foreign countries were willfully sending dangerous criminals into the US over the border with MX -trigger for his eventual success in the R nominating fight, showing his willingness to buck conventional R qualms re making false claims re the dangers of IMGs.
#Republicans are running on a platform of destroying #democracy, and pretending the human garbage that engaged in an #insurrection against the #UnitedStates are really patriots who are being held hostage. It's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if pays off for them.
Soldiers now stuff Eagle Pass’s hotel rooms & bars by night. By day -unspool millions$ of concertina wire to fill in the voids along the RG where the feds have cut it down -soldiers say -to try to look intimidating.
John *guardsman: "Soldiers are tasked with trying to prevent ppl from crossing the RG. How? “Just stand there-that’s all we could do -wanted us to be out there with your rifle/full kit/vest/helmet to int-.
Gov Abbott says the lower number of border crossings are bc of his deterrence methods. He credits the buildup of ‘his’ National Guard at the border, razor wire & buoys… which have cost Texan taxpayers billions$, but he’s wrong. Those measures have harmed migrants & taken a toll on the NG officers. The Biden admin has stepped-up enforcement with the help of the Mexican govt. “Illegal border crossings into the US have fallen 50% since the end of Dec. #GOPSabotage#GOPLieshttps://www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/2024/02/23/border-crossings-texas-arizona-california/
