Trump said he would fight for “forgotten Americans.” I didn’t know that meant Jeff Bezos.
Despite making $89.5 BILLION in profits last year, Amazon paid just 3.1% in taxes.
This is what Republicans’ SNAP & Medicaid cuts were for.
Guess that ‘Melania’ doc really paid off.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

I always thought MLK’s ‘Mountaintop’ speech was his best, which was given the day before he was killed. It is especially relevant given what is happening now in MN and elsewhere. He was getting many serious threats, which he references in his line “I may not get there with you.”
