Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.
Donβt be angry at workers for using food stamps.
Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.
Club for Growth needs a new President. What idiocy is he pushing here? I doubt he would say employers got a good deal during covid but now it's business as usual so I should pay my employees more...
30.10.2025 20:10 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Why don't the Republicans alleviate the suffering of Americans instead of using taxpayer $$ for $1 billion to retrofit a "gift" jet, $309 million for a ballroom no one wants or needs, a 40 billion bailout gift to Argentina because a few of Bessents's friends made bad investments there??

Two @ij.org clients are citizens who were arrested & @propublica.org found 168 more.
Plus, we have witness statements from others who--like most of the citizens caught up by Noem's tactics--didn't have their arrests recorded so they didn't make the news.
Let people see Jack Smith for who he is and not the characters depicted by Trump and others.

Itβs the Peopleβs House after all.
So imagine having to witness its destruction in real lifeβ¦and the culprit is the President.
Such destructive malice. Not following protocol, no need for a vanity ballroom. Inflation up, unemployment up, tariffs destroying farmers & ranchers profit, grocery prices sky high, unemployment rising, measles outbreaks highest in decades. Trump & his yes men & women are destroying everything.

Not because the president just decided he needed a big fancy ballroom.
Heβs spending millions for a ballroom while American soldiers go without payβ¦

And I would think it is not really needed. No president has ever asked for this. After the Rose Garden desecration it is just a bad feeling all around.

21.10.2025 00:58 β π 3 π 1 π¬ 0 π 0Trump must be a reincarnation of Marie Antoinette, "Let them eat cake". He is building a 250 million$$ ballroom for a vanity project while he says our country has no money for WIC, Meals on Wheels or Special Education. Make no mistake, Trump's priorities are not the American people.

I wish they had interviews from other parts of the country.
A video posted by our President, depicting our President, wearing a king crown, bombing liquid crap on American citizens?! It shows his full contempt for all American citizens and that he is truly a vile person to think this was an appropriate video. He is not the person to be leading our country.

Once again, they could care less about Americans, it's about enriching themselves through GREED.
Irony is FOX News mocking boomers at the NO KINGS Marches for being chubby, when we are all around the same age as our very own chubby Pres Trump who they revere.

Meanwhile, he's preparing to dole out $40 billion to prop up Argentina's failing economy, all to help out his authoritarian pal.
Priorities.
This canβt be said often enough: Trump is selling out his most loyal voting block while bailing out somebody elseβs.
πKeep an eye on this: Trumpβs intentionally sabotaging U.S. farmers. His billionaire buddies will benefit by acquiring their land on the cheap.
Trump pardoned all the convicted & sentenced Jan 6 criminals. I bet he used an auto pen for that too. What nonsense Johnson is spouting.
