Trump is in Warren, Michigan, talking about his own greatness and grievance while his neighbors and voters in Florida are drowning in the dark without shelter or power. Trump has done nothing to even show any interest in the destruction that the state endured. Biden has.
The Master of Projection was on his game early tonight!

Yeah. Unless it’s proven you’ve committed a crime, and if that is the case, then it’s because we believe in the rule of law, which is very healthy. Given that Trump will spend a good deal of time in his speech asserting that he had an election stolen, why not begin with a shout-out to Ginni Thomas, the cultist who preached 100% fealty to Trump from White House staff and is a SCOTUS Justice’s wife who openly says the election was stolen, even though every court to look at the matter says that it was definitely not. And then the cheap shot at the media as if there are any media there that isn’t far right MAGA-friendly. CBS News isn’t covering this event live. Sensibly, every real American (not really) is watching a good college football game.

Trump likes to pretend that mainstream outlets like CNN and MSNBC still cover his rallies, but they don't. Even Fox News is carrying re-runs from yesterday instead of his rally. https://t.co/XrRXyWXTZA [5]

Yeah. No. We DO keep an eye on Trump because it seems to be what readers want and, more importantly, this guy is so dangerous that someone on the Left needs to monitor what this movement is doing.
interesting. how many votes did the other guy get? pic.twitter.com/fxCRvX4rTb [7]

It is stunning that he continues to bring up that he got “More votes than any previous president…” That’s what happens when voting is made easier. When more people vote, it benefits Democrats anywhere.
Below, getting out ahead of charges in Georgia (and possible federal charges in Georgia). Evidently, all Trump’s calls are “perfect.” No surprise, is there anything about him that he doesn’t think is perfect?

Here is a bonus clip from earlier. This is why these events need to be covered:
Now GOP House members are accusing Democrats of murdering Republicans. False, reckless and dangerous.
And GOP leadership won’t do a damned thing to condemn it. https://t.co/gdkPH4xovL [11]

Below, is why we must watch this man’s dangerousness. I’ll bet every election that a MAGA wins is completely fair to these people:

More “crime protection,” vilifying those who are impose the law on him, while also inciting his crowds to violence if it happens.

Fascists love the death penalty. Define drug dealer? Young black or Hispanic man, one can bet.

Below, a hideous lie! It’s actually “after birth” that Democrats become FAR more pro-life than Republicans:

I don’t ever, ever, ever, want to hear that sacred word “Dog” come out of Trump’s mouth again. Trump doesn’t like dogs and they don’t like him, proving that dogs have the perception for sensitive, good people and thus Trump hates them. Dogs are proof that God (same three letters reversed?) exists.
