#DictatorDon is going hog-wild in DC sending Armed Troops into the streets of a major American city (using false claims of rampant crime as justification) b/c he has unfettered control of #DC.

PAY ATTENTION, b/c this is what he'd do in EVERY #Democratically controlled city if he could (and his SCotUS & lapdog #GOP #Congress would happily give him the power to do.)

If I am a #SingleIssueVoter it is for #Transparency, so we can #Democratically evaluate the impact of elections and legislation. But I think #RankedChoiceVoting could go a long way to keeping the worst people out of the Oval.

We have to be honest & pragmatic

With the USA reneging on support treaties Calling #Ukraine the aggressor threating #Canada #Panama #Greenland with annexation (invasion)
Forcing all the allies to act counter to #Trump & form an opposing alliance.

Calling #Putin and #Chairman #Kim mates while criticising #Trudeau #zelensky & other #Democratically elected leaders.
One thing is obvious

#USA is now a member of the #axis-of-evil #enemy-states and not part of the #free-world

🧵(5/12) The economy Obama inherited from Bush continued to crash and by November 2009, #Unemployment hit 9.9%.

#Obama & the #Democratically controlled Congress passed the "Nat'l Recovery act", which poured 3/4 of a Trillion dollars into the economy and unemployment finally started to fall.

By the time Obama left office in 2017, unemployment was back down to just 4.5%.

Hillary, who ran against Obama in 2008, was the presumed Dem frontrunner as VP #Biden deferred following the death of his son.

Anyone thinking "we can just elect a #Democratically controlled #Congress" to keep T**** in check:

1) #Project2025 lays out how T**** can do everything by "#ExecutiveOrder", bypassing #Congress.

2) #SCotUS has placed the #Potus #AboveTheLaw and declared his actions "can't even be questioned."

So, it's Win the WH or it's all over. No "backup plan". #TheProsecutorVsTheFelon #Harris4President #Harris2024 #Buttigieg4VP
