I'm an older wiser educated guy who cares about the world and trying to make it a little better place. Follow me on Threads at omg_factsmatter. Buy me coffees.
Facts that matter:
- Trump has been indicted in four different states
- by four different grand jurys
- of ordinary citizens
- who listened to the evidence
- and voted to charge with over 90 felonies
That's not a consperacy, that's the result of overwhelming evidence.
This is Berlin today. Calling for resistance against the Far Right.
All around Germany, people took to the streets in the last days.
History tells us:
We cannot wait until it is too late and Fascists are in power.
We have to stand up to them.
NOW.
UNBELIEVABLE: Yale Law School has just cancelled classes so that students can protest Kavanaugh's nomination. Yale is a very conservative institution with a conservative bunch of students. You can't blame any of this on liberals or democrats. Opposition to Kavanaugh is real.
My neighbor is a good decent person in day to day life.
He just told me the pandemic is Obama's fault for not having enough masks.
And it's worth 250,000 people dying so he can protect his guns and stop abortions.
I can't talk to him any more.
How did 15,000 Hati refugees all end up at the same remote border location in Texas at the same time? 400 miles and at least a 7 hour drive from the coast. That's no accident or coincidence.
Holy crap. One was a speaker who opened the republican national convention for Trump. The other just got arrested for ploting terrorism and to kidnap the governor of Michigan.
I believe the most dangerous thing about Trump isn't Trump. It's the GOP refusing to do their constitutional duty. We could survive Trump very easily if the GOP stood up for the constitution and the country instead of being obsessively party and money first.
When law and order and justice eventually catch up to Trump, and it will happen, the story won't be about Trump being guilty. The story will be why did the GOP let him get away with it for years? Why did they obstruct justice for a crook, conman and traitor?
In short, Trump got caught stealing from veterans and was fined $2 million. And it was proven in court. And its not the biggest story of the week. It barely registers. I doubt Fox even reports it.
When the head of the New York police union says 10,000 officers will quit because of the vaccine mandate but only 34 actually do you have to conclude the police union was lying and using fear tactics against the public.
Here's the situation with Trump's deals:
- N. Korea quitting talks
- NAFTA talks dead
- Iran deal dead
- lost TPP deal
- deficit up ($2 T)
- inflation up
- interest rates up
- war mongering up
- gas prices up
- healthcare up
- corruption up
- shootings up
- pollution up
- hate up
I'll never pay attention again to a republican talking about:
- family values
- honesty
- ethics
- morality
- religious freedom
- the environment
- science
- government
- integrity
- fairness
- Healthcare
- patriotism
- law & order
- fake news
The
@GOP
is party of Trump & greed.
It's all slowly coming out. The republican scheme to overthrow the election was a broad based conspiracy. It should be prosecuted as a RICO case. They were a racketeer influenced and corrupt organization. They still are.
Dear so called Christians and Evangelicals, this is your guy. You can make all the excuses in the world but none of them will change the facts. He conned you and you bought it.
Fox got sued and lost three quarters of a billion dollars for lying and defaming Dominion. Evidently, they learned nothing from it. Absolutely nothing.
Just to be clear, Trump sent 101 tweets yesterday. If he spent 3 minutes reading, thinking and writing each one, it would take 303 minutes. Which means Trump spent over 5 hours using Twitter. I remember when presidents used to read national security briefings instead.
OMG, Mitch McConnell just spoke on the Senate floor and attacked Democrats for attacking a man, Brett Kavanaugh. He totally rejected Dr. Ford, maligned her intentions, dismissed her allegations, and belittled her request for the FBI to investigate. The GOP are disgusting.
WTF is MSNBC doing having Megan Kelly on the air live in prime time defending Brett Kavanagh and undermining the credibility of Dr. Ford? They don't usually get things this wrong. But this is disgusting.
OMG folks, Kim Jong Un doesn't need Trump to pay his hotel bill. He just asked Trump to do so to find out how desperate Trump is to meet. Now we all know. Trump is so desperate to meet Kim he's willing pay him to meet. The weakest POTUS ever.
Just for the record, Trump said that the US had investigators on the ground in Turkey investigating the murder of Khashoggi. A few hours later the FBI released a statement saying they can't investigate without an invitation from Turkey and they haven't received one. Trump lied.
I just unfollowed Trump. Two years ago I though it would be educational to keep up with his tweets. Today it's clear that following Trump feeds his ego and is completely worthless. We all know he's a spoiled child with a Twitter account. It's all about hate and spite.
All this crap about a Maga having a civil war for Trump is bullshit. 1st, they're basically cowards. 2ed, they're too broke to travel. 3rd, they're too dumb. And 4th, a few fire hoses with a little vaccine or LGBTQ DNA mixed in will make them run.
Let's review the people Trump wants Americans to hate:
- Muslims
- Mexicans
- blacks
- immigrants
- Mueller
- refugees
- FBI
- justice department
- CIA
- judges
- women
- educated people
- poor people
- all of Africa
- democrats
- the free press
- our allies
- honest people
Let's face the ugly but obvious truth about Trump:
- he's a miserable man
- he's a hateful, vindictive, petty, spoiled billionaire
- he's a crook, conman, and traitor
- he's a dictator want-to-be
- he's a pathological liar
- he hates America
- he likes hurting people
- he's sick
OMG. Trump's "Appraiser" Just Sold Him Down the River
Because the guy Trump said was his appraiser never appraised anything for Trump. He didn't even know Trump was using his name to justify his fake financial statements.
22% of the Senate Republicans who are jurors at his impeachment today got up and left in the middle of the prosecuters presenting the case to convict Trump. That's disgraceful. It shows complete contempt for their constitutional responsibilities.
George H.W. Bush is lying in state in the US capital. I can't stand to watch the GOP eulogize him for his character and great moral values when they have none and could care less. They'll be back to supporting a p-grabbing lying traitor tomorrow and plotting against healthcare.
I'm still amazed to learn that the secret service spent $177,000 renting golf carts from Trump properties while Trump was golfing. That's an extraordinary scam using taxpayer's money. You could buy a fleet of golf carts for that much.
Let's look at this person:
- he's straight
- he's white
- he's male
- he's Christian
- he almost certainly votes republican
- and very likely watches Fox & right-wing media
That's the most dangerous demographic profile in America.
#SWMCR
Republicans are crooks. That's what they learned from Trump. They believe lying, stealing, hating, conning, cheating, etc is a valid path to success and power.
Ex-Kansas legislator convicted of COVID fraud sentenced to more than 2 years in US prison
Let's summarize Trump's trip to Paris:
- sent rude tweets
- watched a parade
- skipped veterans day
- skipped visiting troops
- skipped meeting veterans
- sat in his hotel
- was mocked by world leaders
- skipped the peace summit
- met Putin
- left early
OMG, 44% of white evangelicals believe "Trump has a strong moral character." Which is why we shouldn't pay any attention to anything else they say or believe. Once you prove you're either stupid or a liar I don't care what else you have to say.
Trump just had America's top Russian counter intelligence officer fired for his personal texts:
- Strzok lead the most successful Russian counter intelligence efforts for decades
- he has caught more Russian spies than anyone
- he is a legend within the FBI
- Trump had him fired
Dear women: An illegal miscarriage? When did it become a crime for a woman to have a miscarriage?
One third of all "fertilized" eggs never attach to the uterus. They pass thru the woman? Is that a miscarriage? Is the woman a murderer?
Stop letting religion make stuff up.
This is true but very poorly understood.
The Obama administration created a pandemic response plan & early warning system that included a dozen scientists around the world in virus laboratories. INCLUDING THE ONE IN WUHAN, CHINA. Trump fired them two months before Covid hit.
Dear fellow North Carolina friends, the GOP state legislature just voted to keep investigations of election fraud secret. Now GOP politicans can rig elections without the public knowing. That's just wrong. It's pure corruption.
HEADS UP. This is a big deal:
- trump is lying about the Saudis
- the CIA is spilling the beans because they must know Trump is dirty
- if they have this recording they also have recordings of MBS and Kushner
- Mueller will too
- Trump's going to hang
Do the math: The CIA started losing agents, assets and spies around the world as soon as Trump bitterly left the White House with hundreds of highly classified national security documents.
Coincidence? Do the math.
It may be wrong of me to feel this way, but I'm positively giddy with delight and relieved to see someone finally stand up to Trump's face and tell him no. Pelosi not only makes Trump look weak, she makes the GOP look like lackeys.
What the fuck are Nazis doing in America? If you oppose LGBTQ more than Nazis then you're a fascist too.

Here are a few facts people should know about Trump's economy:
- stock market lost over $3 Trillion in less than 3 months
- deficit has grown over $1 Trillion and growing
- trade deficit is worst in 10 years & getting worse
- inflation is higher than wage growth
- growth slowing
Breaking: The Trump administration bragged about how great their project Warp Speed did getting companies to develop a COVID vaccine. But it was just disclosed Trump refused to buy more vaccine this summer. So now the US won't have the leading Pfizer vaccine until JUNE!
Hitler famously said to his base when he came to power, "give me 10 years and you won't recognize Germany." 10 years later Germany was in total ruin. I'm not going to sit and watch Trump, his GOP co-conspirators, or their Fox propaganda machine do that to America.
@EWErickson
Nobody gets to choose the color of their skin. So liberals don't judge it. But you do get to choose to wear a swastika, a KKK hood, or a racist MAGA hat. Liberals aren't the ones who judged you. We just make a note that you judged yourself as a racist.
What would a spiteful POTUS do if he was going down ugly?
- undermine FBI, DOJ and Law & Order
- sabotage healthcare
- jack up the deficit
- attack our allies
- attack the free press
- corrupt elections
- appoint deplorable judges
- conspire with Russia
- screw the environment
Many Churches, and Evangelicals in particular, have blown their credibility out of the water. They put hate, prejudice, ignorance and politics ahead of love, tolerance and helping the less fortunate. Their version of morality is fundamentally broken.
DeSantis campaign slogan: vote for me, I kick people off Medicaid so rich people can get more money.
250,000 Floridians Get Kicked Off Medicaid as DeSantis Rakes in Big Donor Cash
Get this straight. Only the very worst dictators in history ever called the press "the enemy of the people" as Trump does:
- Joseph Stalin
- Adolf Hitler
- Mao Zedong
- Saddam Hussein
- Kim Jong-un
- Idi Amin
- Ayatollah Khomeini
- Abdullah of Saudi Arabia
- ISIS/Abu al-Baghdadi
Saudi Arabia owns the 45th Floor of Trump Tower.
China owns the 21st Floor of Trump Tower.
Russia owns the 63rd Floor of Trump Tower
The MAGA Republican cult doesnโt want us talking about this on Xhitter.
VP Pence said today the Trump administration is catching 10 middle east terrorists coming across US-Mexican border every month. That would be over 200 terrorists since Trump was POTUS. And they are just now saying it 2 weeks before the election? That's not remotely believable.
Let's be very clear. Lindsey Graham is is a Trump co-conspirator and doing everything possible to obstruct justice for a criminal and treasonous Trump. I'm disgusted. The GOP are morally bankrupt. They have to go. Everyone of them.
If it's true a sitting president can't be indited for anything while in office, it would mean a president could commit treason while in office & couldn't be prosecuted until it's too late. Or quit before he leaves office and make a deal for his VP to pardon him. That can't be.
Here are the facts. Trump's so called greatest economy in history is a fake.
S&P500 Market Growth:
Obama: year 1 = 26.46%, year 2 = 15.06%
Trump: year 1 = 21.83%, year 2 = -4.38%
Obama TOTAL = 41.52%
Trump TOTAL = 17.45%
Obama was more than twice as good as Trump.
OMG, this is how immoral Trump is making America:
- first she accuses McCain of timing his death to hurt her
- then, to make it worse, she deletes the comment and blames the story on the lying fake press
- this is what happens when we elect a psychopath
Breaking:
- Trump is going to France this weekend to watch a military parade
- Russia just announced that Trump will be meeting privately with Putin while there
- the White House was keeping it secret
BREAKING: The GOP is now claiming to be doing a secret investigation of Kavinaugh and Dr. Fords rape allegations. They are saying they can do it better than the FBI. But it's so secret the Democrats on the committee have no idea what's going on, who is doing it, how, when, ...
Breaking: Fox stockholders are suing Fox, Rupert Murdoch and members of the Board of Directors over Fox lying to support Trump's big lie that the election was stolen.
Allow me to translate this for you. Mitch McConnell just said we don't care what any woman has to say, and we don't care about men trying to rape women, and we don't care about investigating. We only care about ourselves.
@realDonaldTrump
Good lord, you're supposed to say happy mothers day you imbecile. We don't want to hear your whining. Your children have 3 different mothers, send them your stupid tweets.
You ask why Ivanka would blow off the judge's deadline? Because she has billions from the Saudis and believes she's above the law. Sadly, $2 billion may be enough to buy her way above the law.
Ivanka Blows Deadline In NY Case. AG James Wants To Know Why
I'm not exaggerating when I say I'm very suspicious that McConnell may personally be afraid of the Mueller investigation. Remember, he blocked Obama from warning the country about Russia interference, he pushed Brett Kavanaugh, enabled NRA & Trump, & his PACs took Russian money.
BREAKING: McConnell objects to Jeff Flakeโs request to bring a bill to
#ProtectMueller
. Flake responded by saying he refuses to vote to progress and confirm 53 judges until Mueller is protected. McConnell is a dirty rotten traitor. Refusing to protect Mueller is treason. Period.
They filmed it because they wanted evidence that their document was authentic. They didn't think about the fact that it was proof of forgery. They're the Keystone Cops of forgery.
The best reason to reject Kavanaugh is he thinks it's all about him. His grades, his captain of the basketball team, who likes him, who he knows, how great he is. He made no attempt to talk about his values, his desire to serve, or wanting to make the world a little better place
I have a message for young/idealists who say they aren't voting because the candidates aren't good enough or don't inspire them:
- elections aren't about your ideal candidate
- elections are about voting for the best candidate
- if you don't vote for the best, you get the worst
I'm pretty sure I don't want Michael Avenatti to be president. But I would love to see him be Attorney General and go after the corrupt GOP and their co-conspirators. I'd make him the special prosecutor to investigate corrupt politicians.
I don't understand how Republicans think it's a good thing to take healthcare away from the old, the sick or the needy?
Bidenโs White House furious as red states kick over 1 million people off Medicaid on paperwork technicalities. Floridaโs in the lead.
I hate it when what's been obvious for years gets reported as if it's new news. Of course much of the GOP are compromised. There's no other explanation for the treasonous things they do.
Facts about California's economy:
- California grew 3.4% in 2017
- well faster than rest of the nation
- California is now the 4th largest economy in the world
- larger than all of Russia
- California has loads of Mexicans, immigrants, Muslims, gays...
- liberal policies work
Jim Jordan is doomed and I'll tell you why. Every one of these victims knows what he did (or did't do but should have). None of them want to go public about their experience but every time Jordan lies about it they get more angry and come forward.
