#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/
What is this delusional goober talking about? The Republican claims that #Biden was involved with bribery and influence peddling was the closest thing to criminal conduct, and it was just exposed as #RussianIntelligence operation. What other crimes do these clowns believe Biden has committed? And why haven't they produced even a single shred of evidence to support their claims? Goober #Tuberville is an idiot who has nothing to say, so he just makes shit up.
🚨AL SC CJ is a proponent of the “7 Mt. Mandate" -he calls on Christians to impose fundamentalist values on all aspects of American life. Enlow is a pro-Trump “prophet” & leading proponent of the mandate, a “quasi-biblical blueprint for theocracy” He's repeatedly pushed the QAnon conspiracy theory -per RW Watch, Enlow has claimed that world leaders are “satanic” pedophiles who “steal blood” & “do sacrifices”-.
“#JamesComer must resign from #Congress. For the last two years he has done the work of Russia’s intelligence services to falsely attack #PresidentBiden. There must be accountability.” ~Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA)
"Absent in much of this recent coverage of Trumps' relationship with RU was the Putin-approved covert attack on the 2016 election that helped elect Trump. None of the above-mentioned reports/others—alluded to it -the result of Trump & his crew’s successful long-running disinfo. campaign. For years, whenever the subject came up, Trump/his cultists have bellowed, “Hoax!” -insisted -no “collusion.”
"Feds say in a detention memo that SMIRNOV -charged with fabricating claims that Joe Biden was bribed by Ukrainians -had high-level contacts with RU intelligence operatives."
-K Cheney
#LindseyGraham, who fully understands how #NATO works, is now pretending not to understand how NATO works so that he can defend #Trump's clear ignorance of how NATO works. This is all for Trump's benefit because literally everyone else understands how NATO works, and knows that Lindsey knows how it works. Lindsey is humiliating himself on the world stage just so he can publicly kiss Trump's ass.
Rep. #MikeTurner: "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain! His words at political rallies, social media posts, and interviews, don't count even though they accurately reflect his demonstrated actions and attitudes! How dare you hold this beautiful man accountable for his truly horrific words and behavior!"
Republicans protect the wealthy with low taxes & lax regulations, that’re seldom enforced. They say that #TFG’s crimes are victimless because the banks still make interest, & if he hadn’t been pres., no charges would’ve been filed. A lie, taxpayers have subsidized his fraud: “By devaluing his assets, TFG defrauded the govt of other funds to which they might be entitled. By doing so, in no uncertain terms, he cheated govts, & by extension, taxpayers.” #GOPLies#GOPSabotagehttps://www.thedailybeast.com/trumps-no-victims-fraud-defense-is-an-insult-to-taxpayers
What does #MarjorieTraitorGreene do other than say horrible shit and spread objective lies? She was ostensibly elected to represent her constituents in Congress, but what bills has she passed? What serious legislation has she advanced? She's basically just a far-right mascot; a far less amusing version of Triumph the Insult Comic Dog.
Expose Republican LIES, esp. re the supposed invasion of migrants at the border:
“As a result of seasonal trends, as well as enhanced enforcement efforts by the CBP & our INTL partners, SW border encounters b/w ports of entry dropped by 50% in Jan." -CBP 2/13/24
"Most fentanyl is smuggled at ports of entry by US citizens, not by immigrants crossing the border illegally. Those seeking asylum +turn themselves in to authorities: not suitable contraband carriers." #GOPLies
Immigrants make America better, & increase the GDP:
"The US economy only grows if their are more workers & immigrants drive a lot of that growth. Reducing deficits, increasing revenues, consuming goods & services, starting bus'...
Immigrants don't come to take your slice of the pie. They come & make the pie bigger."
-D Rivlin
"Due largely to an unexpected surge in immigration, the US economy will be about $7T larger & fed revenues about $1T bigger."
-J Stein
If the #Democrats want women to go extinct, as official Alabama dumbshit #TommyTuberville seems to believe, then how come they're the ones who are constantly working to improve women's health, and preserve their bodily autonomy while Tuberville’s party works to deprive women of essential healthcare, and force them to be baby machines? If you actually listen to what these Republicans are saying, it's clear they're lying, misogynistic woman-haters. 🤔
Republicans lie about almost everything that they think will benefit them:
"How the Media Falls for the Right’s Fentanyl Lies: The migrants being demonized for the drugs coming over the border aren’t responsible for the crisis, but you’d never know that from the news🚨.
Truth: Migrants who arrive at our southern border don't smuggle fentanyl... The evidence is clear on this point, in large part thanks to reports from the US BP."
