The LIES perpetrated by RW & MSM, that Biden's policies have led to inflation & his economy is worse than #TFG's must be refuted -his successes: amplified. Polling shows Dems, I's & Rs believe TFG's economy was better than Biden's. They're in a horserace, which the media wants:
"Biden pulls even with Trump as economic view improves slightly. He's a commanding lead among voters when it comes to which candidate they believe is best on several key econ. issues."
"Trump's inflationary policies: almost totally ignored in the top 5 US newspapers' early 2024 inflation coverage -largely failed to mention his inflationary policies to enact more tariffs, implement mass deportations & pass additional tax cuts for the wealthy in coverage of the BLS' Dec & Jan CPI reports.
2/53 print news articles: 2/13-3/11 included quote from TFG attacking Pres Biden's record on: economy &/or inflation."
#MarjorieTraitorGreene is a shameless #hypocrite who regularly pulls this classic #Republican tactic. After railing against spending bills, and repeatedly voting against them, she runs right out and brags to her constituents about the money her district will receive from those same bills. Bitch! You voted against this funding, and now you're out there taking credit for it? GTFOHWTBS
They do yeoman's work, helping vulnerable & dehumanized ppl. They're receiving horrific threats to their lives. The Catholic group is one of several faith-based orgs. incl. Lutheran, Jewish... grps that've long partnered with the fed govt to offer such services. Staff at Catholic Charities -faith-based nonprofit, are upping security & fielding threats after becoming a target for RW media figures like O'Keefe —& GOP Congressmen —bc of their work w/migrants.
Rep Biggs⬆️, a #TFG loyalist, was on SOTU spewing hate at migrants. Tapper didn't push back. Bigg's rhetoric has incited some of these threats.
"Biggs, who signed the letter asking Catholic Charities/others to preserve docs, hosted Bergquam, a far-R activist, on his podcast last May, where Bergquam accused Catholic Charities of operating as a “middle-man” b/w drug cartels & the CBP. The synergism b/w (R MOC) & far-R figures was evident during recent incidents-."
Outcome of cases by M Elias: key part of Rs' false rallying cry of voter fraud/integral part of election denialism: #TheBigLie: based. DailyC often repeats RW lament -evident from dozens of operatives working on election integrity within the R sphere *no M Elias of the right.” R McDaniel: forced out -inability to convince #TFG/election deniers that she could run a more effective voter suppression & election subversion program in 2024 *replacement: ATTY Whatley.
Condemning the #Russian abduction of #Ukrainian children is a bridge too far for #MarjorieTraitorGreene and a handful of other piece of shit #Republicans. These heaps of human garbage don't want to sully their image as scumbags and #TrumpSycophants by criticizing Lord #Putin for a truly monstrous attack on children and their families. Remember this the next time they pretend to care about the wellbeing of children.
Right-wingers are rehashing the same discredited and debunked conspiracy claims about election fraud that they pushed ahead of the #2020election. It was baseless nonsense then, and it's baseless nonsense now. It's just their latest attempt to sow doubt about the security of our elections, and promote self-serving disinformation as we get closer to November.
Republicans want to speed up the #climatecrisis, that should be disqualifying, but most Americans don't know this fact.
"I wonder how many of those attorneys general, together with their Republican Attorney Generals Association, took money from the fossil fuel industry. Seems like they are letting polluters offload their litigation expense onto taxpayers."
-Sen Whitehouse
#Republicans want to get rid of #votingMachines because the unreliability, inaccuracy, and chaos of hand-counting will provide cover for them to manipulate the results. It's about their desire to strip the decision-making authority from the voters, and put it into the hands of partisan extremists.
RW propaganda is off the rails bc it's all they've got (white power):
Fox News spent the 1st months of 2024 blaming Pres Biden for a surge of violent “migrant crime” as the RW NWK geared up to try to reinstall #TFG in the WH. Immigrants commit fewer crimes on average than native-born Americans, violent crime reportedly continues to⬇️from its TFG-era heights +no evidence of a migrant-driven crime⬆️.
Fox: ~388 weekday segments of “migrant crime” from 1/1- 3/8-.
To most voters, Britt's lies are egregious & they know she lives in a RW bubble. The cross she wears, while she lied about Biden & migrants in the SOTU rebuttal & on Fox, indicates her hypocrisy, & willingness to elevate #TFG's anti--IMG/mass deportation plan. GOP voters aren't aware of her lies, & RW media shares the blame with R leaders. She claims she didn't mean to smear Biden by falsely implying an assault that happened 20 years ago happened under his watch. #GOPLieshttps://www.foxnews.com/video/6348621792112
"Trump’s Angry Rant About Biden’s Speech Showcases MAGA’s Ugliest Scam. Biden’s SOTU pushback on MAGA anti-IMG rhetoric was a start -can be more forceful-.
They oppose the border bill bc it'd make the system work better in allowing migrants to enter in an orderly, rule-bound way & didn’t kill Biden’s parole programs, which admit tens of 1,000s of migrants monthly who apply, reducing pressure on the border."
Fox & other RW media outlets will need to use #AI or other methods to show that Biden is feeble given that he was fiery & robust at the SOTU. Republicans project bc #TFG takes drugs & is truly...
"Floundering right claims Biden must have been on drugs."
"During Biden's speech last night, you could see the right recognize in real time that their attempts to brand him as a dementia patient were failing & coalesce on a new narrative: Biden was on drugs." -M Gertz
From @flexghost
Biden speak about the border control he was planning to make better at the SOTU.
But GOP to not give the vote.
But GOP to not give the vote! Now complain Biden doing nothing.
Just dirty GOP work and what a layer Katie Britt is.
Commander #MikeJohnson's big plan for America under Republican control is... #DefundThePolice. Seriously. See, when they accuse the Democrats of doing it (they weren't), it's a terrible sign of our nation's downfall. But when the #Christofascist Campbell Soup Kid proposes it, it's like Jesus himself came down from wherever Jesus lives and blessed our godly country. There's only so much of this bullshit I can take.
Many of #TFG's voters have lived in a RW media bubble most of their adult lives. They truly believe Dems are devils, immigrants are... B/w 2005-24: ~3,000 newspapers in the US: closed.
If Bruce’s main source of news is RW media like Fox News -she might never have heard about TFG's Nazi dinner. In Nov & the 1st half of Dec of 2022, the incident was mentioned in 89 segments on CNN & more than twice that number on MSNBC. On Fox -only mentioned 7X-..
How can Pres Biden get the message about his economic successes to voters? Many are planning to vote for #TFG/Rs bc they believe Rs' lies -amplified on RW media.
"Biden's America isn't perfect, but things are pretty good! The facts about the Biden economy are positive... If you can’t get ppl to see that as a happy picture, not only does the right benefit in specific electoral terms, but the whole project of pursuing those goals tends to fall into discredit."
Rs get schooled, but most will still amplify the lies:
"You got GOP MOC, talking about the border every chance they got so you'd think they'd be interested in addressing it -but a bipartisan bill from one of the most conservative members & Dems working/negotiating, making tough decisions *going to have trouble with, came in, hammered that out," he said -noting that TFG, who's not even an elected official" came in to "kill it with the chill that he put on R MOC." #GOPLieshttps://www.rawstory.com/buttigiegs-gop-roast-ruffles-cnbc-host/
Infuriating, bus executives know that immigration is critical to their profits, but they continue to vote Republican bc their taxes will be lower. A shortage of workers will result in lower profits.
"$7T is what the CBO says the current surge in immigration will add to the US economy over the coming decade by expanding the labor force & adding demand."
Bloomberg fails to report that Dems support #ImmigrationReform & Republicans have blocked it for decades.
New polling from a top Dem pollster finds mixed news for Team Biden on this front: Large swaths of voters appear to have little awareness of some of #TFG's clearest statements of hostility to democracy & intent to impose authoritarian rule in a 2nd term, from his vow to be “dictator for 1 day” to his vague threat to enact “termination” of provisions in the Const. Maddening -but presents the Biden campaign with an opp. -plenty of time to make voters aware of them. #GOPLieshttps://newrepublic.com/article/179548/poll-voters-trump-dictator-threats
Republicans are saboteurs. They believe that a fascist autocracy under #TFG is better than a democracy. Dems must inform voters as to the sinister tactics used to hurt Pres Biden:
Scanners that spot smuggled fentanyl at the border sit unused bc Congress hasn't provided the cash to install them. The money to install the screeners was in the supplemental funding request Rs blocked. CBP has spent millions on the most up-to-date high-tech scanners-.
We know this disturbing fact, but many Americans don't understand why they have difficulty making ends meet, & some blame Pres Biden, & it's amplified by Republicans & RW media.
"Growing income inequality in USA over past 3 decades."
-Ian Brenner
House Rs cut funding for LE & refuse to pass a border bill (loyal to #TFG) while they claim it's Biden's/Dems' fault & use racism to reduce IMG:
"When #TFG/#MAGA bash the border crisis -really saying Biden is failing to protect the ethnic & racial composition of the US."
-J Heibrunn
"HSE Rs are bragging about how their sticking point for funding the govt was cutting funding for fed LE while simultaneously preparing to run a campaign blaming Biden for rampant crime *it's⬇️."
-M Gertz #GOPLies
"HSE Approps CMTE cut the IMG court’s budget by $16M. Given inflation *steeper cut in practice. Beyond parody for a system bending under such severe weight.
FY 2023: BP carried out over 2M arrests at the S border, 6,477 or less (0.3%) involved someone who'd a prior criminal conviction unrelated to IMG on record. To win asylum, a person has to prove -have a "well-founded fear of persecution" on account of a protected ground." -A Reichlin Melnick *IMG expert
