  1. #Trump’s detailed plot to overturn the results of the election was brazen & a major threat to American #democracy. Because of it, even today, millions of Trump supporters believe the last election was stolen, & that primes the public for new attempts at #ElectionSubversion. Trump’s new running mate, Sen #JDVance, had to go along w/the lie at Tue’s #VPdebate, refusing to admit the incontrovertible #truth that #TrumpLost the 2020 election.

  2. 🧵(118/) #ReasonsNotToVoteForTrump
    During the #VPDebate, Gov #Walz brought up how #CaptBoneSpurs dismissed the concussive brain injury of some 200 U.S. troops in an #Iranian missile attack as mere "headaches".

    Following #Iran's missile attack on #Israel that same day, #MangoMussolini was asked if maybe he should have done more to respond to Iran in 2020, and AGAIN he dismissed the troop's injuries in 2020 as just "headaches". 😡

  3. He was a teacher, he noted, & a football coach.
    “I worked wi/kids long enough to know,” he said, “sometimes you really want to win.”

    But #Republicans like #Trump were already laying the groundwork to contest the current #election, he continued, & perhaps even to #imprison their political opponents.
    “A president’s words matter,” #TimWalz said, punctuating his own. “A president’s words matter. People hear that.”

  4. AT LEAST 65 active-duty troops died in hostile action during #Trump’s presidency, the records show, as he ramped up commitments in #Iraq & #Syria to fight #ISIL / #ISIS while also launching airstrikes on Syria as punishment for a chemical weapons attack. Trump also escalated hostilities w/ #Iran, including the killing of #Soleimani. Trump claimed at the time the strike was carried out in accordance w/the Authorization for Use of Military Force resolution of 2001.

  5. #Iran’s production in pandemic stricken 2020 was the lowest in ~40 yrs, the EIA #said.

    Experts say that even if #Trump had been reelected, he would have had trouble keeping #sanctions from eroding. In particular, #China has become adept at evading US sanctions by arranging for many buyers of Iranian oil to be small, semi-independent refineries known as “teapots.” Such entities accounted for about ⅕ of China’s worldwide #oil imports, per Reuters.
