FTC CHM Khan: Sheffield won't be on Exxon's BoD bc he colluded to⬆️gas prices.
#TFG/Rs sink to new lows (Dante's inferno seems relevant).
How is this not bigger news?
TFG posted a video of one of his supporters attacking "blowjob liberals" & raging that if TFG is elected, he'll "get rid" of liberals, who'll be "gone." He’ll get rid of all you fucking liberals. You liberals are gone when he fucking wins."
The video he posted got notice for attacking JoeNBC.
By promoting this video, he endorsed that sentiment re libs generally.
US taxpayers have paid for this scam. #TFG’s three presidential campaigns have collected a combined &10.1M from the Secret Service, tasked with protecting him. The DOJ has repeatedly failed to hold him accountable for…

Germany’s largest far-right party Alternative for Germany (AfD) has been expelled from its pan-European group Identity and Democracy in the European Parliament following a series of scandals.
The ID group’s leadership has now voted to expel the AfD, two weeks before millions of people head to the polls to vote in the European election.
Why weren’t these facts disclosed earlier? Disqualifying from a SCJ.
S Alito, 2 yrs after flying an upside-down🇺🇸flag outside his home -flew at his vacation home an 'Appeal to Heaven' flag *carried by rioters on J6. Appears -flown over the course of several months.
"Alito's isn't just flying the same flags as the J6 rioters -doing so as a continuation of their coup attempt. SCOTUS is the 1st branch of gov't to full fall to #MAGA."

"The HSE has been idled for 30 minutes now after Republicans demanded that words of Rep McGovern D-MA be 'taken down.' McGovern spoke about Donald Trump & was admonished by the Chair before making this statement⬇️:
After an extended delay, the Chair rules that McGovern's words are out of order, seemingly saying members cannot even talk about criminal charges against Trump on the HSE floor. The words below were stricken from the Record."

Why is there a threat of violence? MSM doesn't generally acknowledge the source, the instigators: #TFG, R leaders, & their enablers, incl. #RWMedia.
Half of swing-state voters say they’re worried about violence surrounding the US pres. election. Roughly equal shares of Dems & Rs hold that fear, & it's even more common among INDEPs. That result makes for a backdrop of apprehension as Biden & Trump gear up to spar in a debate in June-.
Hopefully, the jurors will agree: On Michael Cohen's testimony: "The Trump defense is that everyone in the Trump organization was a criminal and a liar and a crook, except for the boss, who was not." -D Frum #TFG#Justice#RuleOfLaw#GOPConspirators
#TFG deserves jailtime -not one that caters to white collar criminals.
"Justice Merchan has no choice now, & shame on Dems, particularly the powerful ones representing New York, for not standing up for the rule of law.
On Tues -dignity-deprived loyalists assembled *singling out Justice Merchan’s daughter—something the gag order expressly prohibits Trump from doing himself -Trump might be scripting their diatribe -would constitute a gag-order violation." #GOPConspiratorshttps://www.offmessage.net/p/jail-donald-trump
Election deniers are legitimizing #TheBigLie, normalizing insurrection & giving the go ahead for another #J6.
#TFG's surrogates face Qs about whether they’ll accept the results of the 2024 election, & they all echo some version of TFG’s contingent line: If there’s no cheating *define to mean “if Trump wins”—then, yes, they’ll accept the results. These are vexing dodges bc exposing the underlying bad faith requires some depth of explanation & repetition.
Believe #TFG when he says he'll incite another #J6 coup attempt, if he loses:
TFG on Wed didn't commit to accepting the results of WI's pres. election if he doesn't win & again promoted: falsehood - he won the WI in 2020.
He'd accept the results of the Nov election showing he lost "if everything's honest -if everything's honest, I'd gladly accept the results" -in an interview Wed. "If it's not, you have to fight for the right of the country.
#TFG will attempt another #J6, if he loses; Rs: OK.
TFG said in a new interview -doesn’t think there'll be political violence around the 2024 election bc he believes he’ll win -but that it “always depends on the fairness of an election.”
"If we don’t win, you know, it depends. It always depends on the fairness of an election.”
If TFG decides he doesn’t believe the election was “fair,” he’s not prepared to rule out the possibility of pol violence.
Loudermilk is the Congressman who led tours before #J6. Select Committee to investigate the J6 Attack on the Capitol, CHM Bennie Thompson says Loudermilk is dishonest & is smearing the committee's work.
Congressman Thompson’s Response to Loudermilk’s Initial “findings”, his letter:
#DeathSantis endorsed #TFG after scrouging him. Ron just endangers Floridians now:
“It’s not just that he was steamrolled by Trump, DeSantis never appeared to want to serve the GOP. He was more interested in making it a more ravenous, angrier, & intolerant party. That worked for TFG., but didn’t work for the gov. with all the charisma of burnt toast. He skewed up FL bc he wanted to become president.
A bigoted, misogynistic, abusive traitor, who is charged with 91 criminal counts, incited an insurrection & disgraced the nation as president, & since he’s left office, is the candidate the failed, former presidential candidate, #DeathSantis, chose to endorse. #TFG has one candidate to beat, Nikki Haley, a brown woman, who served #TFG as the UN AMB, & thinks she is white. On the surface, President Biden wins, but… #GOPTraitors#GOPConspiratorshttps://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/01/21/ron-desantis-drops-out/
I posted this on social media 6 years ago. Unfortunately, this quote from Lincoln is still relevant today because of TFG’s and Republicans’ traitorous reign of terror.
Why did Congress have one of the least productive years in modern history? HSE Rs investigated Hunter & Pres Biden on trumped up charges to distract from the crimes of their leader, #TFG.
His behavior was vastly more irresponsible than fmr SOS Clinton -communicated on unsecured cells, conducted foreign policy in a social club anyone could join & was a magnet for spies, mishandled classified docs, allowed his advisers to conduct bus by personal email.
Fanone: “The future of our democracy is at stake -the American voter will be the last line of defense when it comes to preserving democracy." New poll: since a 2021 survey -number of Rs: believed Biden’s election was legit. -dropped: 39% to 31% & showed Rs less likely to believe that #J6 rioters were mostly violent, & more likely to absolve TFG's resp. 1/4 believed: FBI organized J6. “W/o those lies -you'd start to see his support erode-."
