https://twitter.com/GlennKesslerWP/s...163787264?s=19The final count. Never would have believed this number was possible when we started four years ago. https://t.co/rZaAOI0gjd https://t.co/2eCUxwtmSo
30,573 false or misleading claims by trump as President. Idk if we covered all of them, not likely, but this helped make this thread over 3k pages.
Democrats are the best! I will never ever question a Democrat again. I LOVE the Democrats!

She added: "Our focus is not on peaceful protestors. Our focus is on those who are threatening the safety of peaceful protesters or the safety of other citizens."
They didn't.Abdul, 31, a lifelong Albany resident who declined to give his last name, was one of three people in East Capitol Park, east of the statehouse on Sunday. He waved a Black liberation flag.
"We’re here to defend our city," he said. "We don’t care about the Capitol, it’s people over property.”
He said he didn’t think supporters of Trump would show up, including far-right groups such as The Proud Boys, linked to the assault on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.
"This is a city that we don't stand for that," he said. "We don't welcome racism here. We're hoping that they don't show up here."
Sick accounting burn, bruh."I think it's just a whole waste of time that they're doing a call for arms because their president lost. Your president lost. Boo-hoo. Get over it," he said. "It doesn't mean that you need to come to the New York state Capitol or Albany in general and try to create havoc."
On Sunday, there was no havoc, [B][B]except, possibly to overtime budgets for police standing by in case the rally went off.
They didn't.Christina Janowitz, 23, of Albany, showed up at the Capitol, to protest the rally that never arrived.
"I heard there might be Proud Boys here and I thought they'd appreciate my lovely flag that brought here today," she said, waving a flag that read "Trump Lost LOL."
She said she was "a little surprised" that the protest didn't materialize, but "I know that there have been calls for Proud Boys to stand down after the violence in D.C. a few weeks ago, so I'm not that surprised, but happy that they are not flooding our community with hate again."
Earlier I said something something most appropriate something last day IMPOTUS. I take it back. The echoing silence? The empty streets? The whimpering QAnon and Proud Boys, sobbing into their single scoop of ice cream, while being trolled by law enforcement, women, and African-Ameericans?Similar scenes played out in capitals along the mid-Atlantic, with reports of expected rallies failing to materialize in Trenton, New Jersey, Annapolis, Maryland, and Dover, Delaware.
In Trenton, the fizzled threat was met with Jersey nonchalance.
“We're all breathing a collective sigh of relief," Trenton Mayor Reed Gusciora told reporters Sunday. "We've noticed that there's more skateboarders than protesters.”
That's the most appropriate way.
The man in the photo is Mark from Florida, New York. Yes, he's Florida Man.
i suspect the trump alt right cheerleaders (tim pool etc) will now lean into militia/survivalist rhetoric.
It's a great sensation, Trump is gone just like a fart in the wind.
most of the hardcore groups are talking about recruiting normies who are on the verge of being radicalized anyway.
the capitol riot should put groups like the proud boys at risk (like Charlottesville did to alot of far right groups).
the fact is most of these groups dont need trump, and the despair from the maga hardcore along with their reactionary views are going to be easy prey for some pretty nasty white nationalists.
I think there will be alot of organized deadly violence.
Today was the last day Donald Trump finally became President, too. End of an era. :<

No, Biden is Trump.
You see, they took Trump's face, off of his face. And they took Biden's face, off of his face. They transferred faces. And literally, just faces. Don't ask questions about how Trump lost around 100lbs overnight, or how they convinced Biden to wear a fat-suit all the time.
THIS IS FUCKIN FACE-OFF AND I WILL NOT HEAR OTHERWISE. ONE DAY HE WILL PULL OF HIS MASK AND IT WILL BE TRUMP! AND THEN HE'LL PULL OF HIS MASK AND IT'S ACTUALLY NICHOLAS FUCKIN CAGE, WHO GRABS THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE AND FLIES OFF INTO THE SUNSET IN A CLOUD OF DOVES!
