What does Qatar get in return for the $400M plane it's gifting to Donald Trump?

Abolish bank regulators. “Delete” the CFPB & IRS. Gut Social Security and Medicare.

The Trump administration’s plots all boil down to the same thing: swindle working people, funnel money to the ultra-rich.

There's a big difference between "niche" as in an issue that not that many people are fully engaged with/informed about and "niche" as in dismissive of "the fate of life on earth for the next 10,000+ years and a whole lot of death, displacement, and destruction right now."
