This is the wealthiest nation in history.

Instead of making sure everyone has food, shelter, & healthcare, WE ARE FLYING A CHILD RAPIST WHO WE PAY TO HIS GOLF COURSE WITH A COTERIE OF BODYGUARDS WHO WE ALSO PAY.
And we let him take bribes.

Just like trump and the rest of โ€˜em, a total insult to our American (fought for Democracy), they were picked solely because of their inexperience and lapdog tendencies.

I like tomatoes. I like beefsteak, Roma, cherry, better boys, big boys, earlies, and etc. Just like us, they are different, but, when given the opportunity to thrive, all are perfectly satisfying.

I used to work as a pilot for fiber optic installation next to the railroad tracks. I got them permission to work between train traffic. By far the best contractors I worked with were the Mexican crews. Unlike American โ€œrednecksโ€, I worked with,they were respectful and conscientious.

Tariffs are not "creating wealth". They impose higher costs to U.S. consumers. The money comes out of your wallet. There is no directive on how the Government "tariff income" is actually used. Tax breaks for the rich will not improve the lives of middle-class America.

STFU, RFK Jr, you ridiculous idiot. You don't care about the wellbeing of patients. You care about politics. You are actively undermining doctors' ability to protect their patients from measles and COVID. Your party forces women who have miscarried to bleed out in parking lots over your politics.

Two Trump-appointed economistsโ€”and longtime friendsโ€”are clashing over Trump's jobs data William Beach, who Stephen Moore calls a โ€œgood friend,โ€ said Trump's numbers shared during his Oval Office presser were โ€œthe strangest thing in the world.โ€

IF THEY ARE LONG TIME CLOSE FRIENDS OF THE UNSTABLE IGNORAMUS, THEY CANNOT POSSIBLY BE REAL ECONOMISTS!

AS A MATTER OF FACT, I HAPPEN TO BE FAMILIAR WITH STEPHEN MOORE.

HE IS A FAILED & WASHED UP FOX BULLSHIT BUSINESS NEWS MOUTHPIECE.

HE IS VERY FAMOUS FOR NEVER ONCE BEING RIGHT.

How much longer are we, those which maintain a semblance of sanity going to put up with this dictatorial bullshit??!!! I wouldnโ€™t follow this fucking a-hole past the pearly gates of heaven, not that thereโ€™s any chance at all heโ€™d be at THAT gate.

The difference between

CRED

and

CRUD

President Obama defined Grace Dignity Class Intelligence and is the best of humanity.

The orange scourge is the definition of a sociopathic vile perverse purulent festering boil on the ass of Satan with zero redeeming factors.
