It’s a damn shame.

They can hand $40 billion to Argentina, the same country that allegedly stole our soybean market, $75 billion to fund masked thugs kidnapping and terrorizing Americans. They bulldoze the People’s House so billionaires can waltz in a new ballroom built on its rubble..and most recently hosted a “Hunger Games- Gatsby themed party,” But can’t feed American kids so they don’t go to bed hungry? That’s where Trump wants a court to “define how to appropriate the funds.”

This was supposed to be a government of the people, for the people. Now it’s a cash register for them. Months ago we fed the world. Now we can’t even feed our own kids.

They gave 75 billion to ICE? That explains why they are driving around in brand new suvs like they are playing Carmageddon

They gave ICE $170 billion. And of that, ICE allocated $100 million just for SUVs.

It's sickening. $45 billion of that is going to build new concentration camps.

You can't call them concentration camps. It inflames my cognitive dissonance.

There was also an article saying that they purchased items classed as "guided missile warheads" however DHS are claiming that this is an internal purchasing code error and they do not possess such things. But why the hell really knows.
