βdems are out of power and Trump is the capo di tutti capi, the history of patrimonial rule suggests that their most effective approach will be hammering home the message that he is corrupt. One thing is certain: He will give them plenty to work with.β
And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

Trump spent the weekend at Mar-a-Lago golfing while stock futures plummeted and our biggest trading partners planned retaliatory tariffs against the US and it was crickets from the Biden Delaware Watch Brigade.

Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

The actual number is less than 1%.
Foreign aid has long been a boogey man of the right, so it's not surprising they're vilifying it now.

do you enjoy knowing that when you deposit money in a US bank, you won't lose that money? nice, right?
it's because bank deposits are insured by FDIC.
