Where are all the whistleblowers? Isn't there anyone with any courage to come forward with receipts about what's going on in this country?

🚨When the stock market was deep in the red yesterday, Majorie Taylor Greene bought tens of thousands in stock.

Trump then paused tariffs & she made thousands in profit.

Stories that start like this have ended in prison for others.

FYI ... Chickens can start laying at 18 weeks old. There is NO REASON for an egg shortage anymore. All the chickens that died due to bird flu could have and should have been replaced already, at least twice over.
I am feeling a conspiracy. And price gouging.

Compare and contrast Obama's Cash for Clunkers program to the orange menace's tariffs on cars making them even more unaffordable to average Americans.

He is purposely ruining us.

I blame McConnell.

Trump team revokes $11 billion in funding for addiction, mental health care
The Trump administration says it hopes to save $11.4 billion by freezing and revoking COVID-era grants. Addiction experts say clawing back the federal funding is risky and could put patients at risk.

Looks like I'll be able to sell a 2004 car for a pretty nice chunk of change after these tariffs. Glad I held on to it.

Idiots.

It's easy to plan not to buy gas or anything else. Not showing up to work isn't feasible for a lot of people though.
Commit to a gas out, minimally.
Share it everywhere so people know. We need a lot of Americans participating to make it happen. I know its hard to miss work, we only ask you do what you can to help with this.

This is your mission. We take our power back now at the local and state level. Stop waiting for a national hero. It’s you. Get to work.

I think blue states should boycott sending money to red states. How can we do that?
I'm just so pissed at this country right now.

Dark Brandon strikes one last time.
President Joe Biden has pardoned Dr. Anthony Fauci, retired Gen. Mark Milley and members of the House committee that investigated the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, using the extraordinary powers of his office to guard against potential “revenge” by Trump. apnews.com/article/bide...

Welp. Time for a gummy.

I'm getting used to them, especially on weekends when I don't have to work. They are microdose. I usually take 1/2. But I do sleep better. And I fret less. That and the fact that I haven't watched any news since November 6th. I won't even discuss news with people.

I left twitter and nearly all media so I don't have to see his name everywhere.
Every single post on this timeline is about him.
I'm done.
