Trump and the Republicans are trying to rig the election. That's not being a "doomer," that's acknowledging reality.

European countries are going to have to recognize the reality that over the next 3 years the US govt is going to operate like Russia - engaging in systematic efforts to tamper in their elections to elect far-right parties & candidates. It will be worse if Vance becomes president.

I’m not sure why Coons is just laughing this off when it is currently the central organizing theme of the Republican Party. We need to address these racist lies aggressively with strong arguments, not just laugh and say “that’s not true.” bsky.app/profile/atru...

Can we not know the name of the alleged staffer posting racist shit from Trump’s account, or would that be “doxing” too?
1. What is this person’s name?
2. How many of Trump’s posts, which impact the markets & foreign policy, are being made by this person?
3. Have they been fired?

If it was a staffer, it was someone who is very close to Trump. Someone he trusts enough to let him post in his name. Someone he knows extremely well and spends a lot of time with. Which shows yet again that the people Trump trusts the most are racists because that’s who he is.

Why didn’t Karoline Leavitt initially say the video was wrong, was posted by a staffer, and apologize?
She did none of those things.
She just blamed Democrats for “fake outrage.”

They didn’t delete the meme or blame a staffer because they realized it was racist and the right thing to do.
They didn’t because of public outrage.
They did it because Republican senators FINALLY spoke out and they backed down.
There’s a lesson in that if they will learn it.

Seems like almost every day now Trump does something to get the attention of people who don’t follow news or politics who are outraged, shocked, or infuriated. This guy has broken through to forums of people who don’t even care about politics & pissed them off. That’s hard to do.

The really galling part is when they flip the switch. In the disqualification case, they were so concerned with the practical, real-world consequences for elections (which were overblown) that they forgot how the Fourteenth Amendment’s structure works.
