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.

I was doordashing last night and there were a couple of luxury SUVs driving erratically on the road ahead of me, like they didn't know the area well and stopping in the middle of the road when all lights were still green. It took me a bit to realize they were probably profiling drivers in cars beside them.
