Remember this? Trump’s Proud Boys:
“Among those waiting outside were Stone supporters like alt-right and political commentator Milo Yiannopoulos, Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes and Michael Caputo — who worked on President Trump’s 2016 campaign”

“It has become increasingly obvious that the gains from growth in the UK are privatised, but the losses are socialised.
Workers are being forced to pay the cost of COVID-19 while the rich are receiving government largesse.”

Denouncing a white supremacist group doesn’t mean you are against white supremacy. For years the GOP embraced white supremacy in policy. That’s why they embraced Trump.
Just denouncing white supremacy is not enough. Repent of the policies & embrace justice.

Ted Cruz just voted to block Tillis’s amendment aimed at restoring some of the ACA’s protections on pre-existing conditions if the ACA is overturned by SCOTUS as a Trump-backed suit aims to do after the election.

Although private equity firm Blackstone raked in billions in profits last year, new documents show their tax rate actually went below zero. This may help explain why CEO Stephen Schwarzman has spent nearly $25 million to help Trump and GOP senators win. http://jacobinmag.com/2020/09/private-equity-blackstone-sub-zero-tax-rate-trump-gop

A warning to every @GOP member: When trump loses, and he will, he’s not just going to throw you under the bus he’s going to threaten you, blackmail you, make up lies about you, create controversies about you, attempt to blame YOU for his failures. He WILL bring you down with him

I decided to find about McEnany’s parents. I wondered how they could have raised such a deplorable person. Well, that’s because they are deplorable themselves. The people that received these loans were for businesses with under 10 employees.
Hmm what could possibly explain Mitch McConnell’s fast tracking certain nominations, while allowing others to drag on and on?
Like the IG who would investigate his wife, for example.

Important thread on UK voter suppression. https://twitter.com/Tom___Scott/status/1310621529630281730
Donald Trump is so racist that when Joe Biden called him a racist, he didn’t even blink or stop to correct him.
11 Democratic governors have issued a statement voicing concern about the integrity of the election, declaring they “will not allow anyone to willfully corrupt the democratic process by delegitimizing the outcome or appointing fraudulent electors against the will of the voters.”
well the debate showed off the president as a unhinged, petulant man child, raised joe biden $31.5 million online in just over 24 hours, registered 24,000 people to vote, and brought in 100,000 new campaign volunteers, and 60,000 new donors.
so I think joe biden won!
Between Trump’s self-immolation and worsening chances of winning, we’re going to see more Rs deciding its time to put some daylight between themselves and Mango Magoo. https://twitter.com/billkristol/status/1311496725870321667
Biden Transition Team is banning its members from trading stocks during the presidential transition. I remember when Senators Burr and Loeffler did stock trades while Americans were in the dark about the impending pandemic. So this is a good development!

As a Presidential historian, it is my opinion that Ford set a terrible precedent when he pardoned Nixon w/out charges being filed. Thankfully nobody will EVER pardon Trump and he’s too delusional and narcissistic to accept one. I believe he will be prosecuted and serve time.
@JamesonCapital @missdiamond59 @RedHourBen @RealRonHoward Vintage newspapers declaring Irish, Italians, Greeks were scum and not desired. Now the racist have moved onto other countries. Same hate, just different targets. We have to do better in 2020
