RT @ylecun: Trump has unfathomably idiotic policy proposals.
Many of them are impractical, illegal, or against the constitution.
But because he is an unfathomable idiot himself and because only idiots are willing to work with him, he is also totally ineffective when it comes to implementing his proposals, even those that are not illegal.

Here are some facts:

Trump had complete control from 2017 to 2019—he held the presidency, the Supreme Court majority, the House, the Senate, and the Department of Justice.

Here’s what happened:

0 Immigration bills passed

0 Funding for the wall:l

Immigration levels: hit record highs in 2019

Tax cuts for billionaires: 1

These are the numbers—just a little perspective. - Agent Self FBI

The key skill in politics is knowing how to count

The way billionaires like Elon Musk have assembled a ~50% coalition behind Trump is impressive

The Proud Boys likely aren't keen Bill Ackman can pay less tax, but there they are

Conversely, many liberal causes alienated voters https://t.co/IceM6b2NyZ

Reports of US voters being turned away erroneously

If this happens to you, you have a right to request a "provisional ballot" under federal law, except in states with same-day voter registration

I just went to vote early and was told that I couldn’t vote because I updated my registration a few weeks ago vs 90 days before the election, even tho my online voter registration is accurate and says active.

Multiple people also got turned away.

So confused…. - Raven Brunner

RT @emzorbit: Musk didn’t quit school. He never started. He used Stanford as an excuse to get into the country. Then he never registered for classes. His plan was to get into the country on a student visa and then start his company. He never intended to go to school. https://t.co/AK2IXW6daW
