Kids are washing away in Texas & Trump is posting self-aggrandizing fan porn. He doesnโ€™t give AF about you MAGA and neither do the Oil & Gas companies that are killing our planet. Youโ€™ve surrendered to them thru your stupidity & bigotry. It will only get worse so get used to it.

Embedded๐Ÿงตlays out the basics of how Noem acquired a $50,000 watch. Here's more about the group behind the payment.

"ProPublica discovered details of the payment in the annual tax form of American Resolve Policy Fund, which is part of a network of political groups that promote Noem and her agenda."

The Story Behind Jared Kushnerโ€™s Curious Acceptance Into Harvard ProPublica editor Daniel Golden wrote a book a decade ago about how the rich buy their children access to elite colleges. One student he covered is now poised to become one of the most powerfulโ€ฆ

โ€œHis GPA did not warrant it, his SAT scores did not warrant it. We thought for sure, there was no way this was going to happen. Then, lo and behold, Jared was accepted.โ€

I cannot emphasize enough how true & real this is.

In almost anywhere on the political spectrum you ID with or major issue, thereโ€™s probably a bot/troll operation to encourage your rage and vitriol.

And how/where that rage gets directed, esp understandable rage, is what they are out to influence.

Global travel warnings for the United States, due to unprecedented fascism by the illegitimate Trump regime and its current ethnic cleansing operations, everyone is recommended to not visit and to be vigilant if they do. Visiting the United States is not advisable.
