12/ Jeremy, I don’t think his outrageous lies this week will change anything.https://t.co/PLikio7fzY— Teri Kanefield (@Teri_Kanefield) September 8, 2019
I think by now people have made up their minds about Trump.
If you look at his approval rating over the past 2.5 years, it’s remained fairly constant. (Link in next tweet).

The signs point toward a GOP drubbing in 2020.
The GOP demographics are shrinking. The GOP is splintering into conservatives v. reactionaries⤵️https://t.co/hGGjhPrIvD

Does he have some dementia?
Probably.
Does dementia explain what we're seeing? No.
I think the discussion of Trump's declining mental state is a distraction, like playing an endless game of whack-a-lie . . . https://t.co/oFvMVYTfwO

That's why, this next year, I'm not volunteering in detention centers, as important as that is.
I'm putting all my spare time into voter protection work.
Winning big in 2020 is the most effective way to end the nightmare.
Impeachment . . .
Hundreds like Renard Oliver and his baby now have to get off the ferry from Freeport, Bahamas to Florida. He was trying to evacuate — told he could leave with Bahamian passport and police record like normal but then ferry crew says US Goverment called and changed plan last minute
This is disgusting. These people have nothing and survived hell and Trump won’t let them in. There’s a special place in hell for anyone who works in or supports this administration. https://t.co/m9XNDBzkSA— Emily C. Singer (@CahnEmily) September 9, 2019

This exchange between Chrissy Teigen and #PresidentPussyAssBitch should be placed in the Smithsonian because it's a very important part of our history as a people.

Big problems on the ferry from Freeport to Florida — announcement just made that any Bahamian without a visa must now get off. This is not normal. Nornally Bahamians can travel to USA with passport and a printout of their police record. This is a mess.

When I see this guy where I'm shopping, I call 911 each & every time. If I'm LUCKY, there are not 10 dead by the time the police show up. That is not filing a false report, that's self preservation & responsible citizenship in a country where there is mass slaughter every day.

If you believe the DOD just randomly decided to start spending nights at a luxury golf course in Scotland, well, Donald Trump has a rapidly depreciating asset to sell you. Taxpayers aren’t responsible for bailing out Trump’s failing businesses. The corruption is in plain sight.
