Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.
That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.
Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

whatever you do in life, never stop learning, never stop being challenged in your ideas, question everything, it will probably make you very annoying as I've learned in my nearly 65 years, but seriously the alternatives are so bleak they don't bear thinking about Donald.

A retired policeman posted a Charlie Kirk meme. He spent a month in jail.
The 61-year-old Tennessee man plans to sue after authorities dropped charges over a political Facebook post. Free-speech advocates say it’s a symptom of a wider crackdown.

Adelita Grijalva now holds the record for longest delay between winng a special Congressional election and being sworn into office.
Why the delay from Mike Johnson?
Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

The president had a MRI but won't say why.
He had bruises on his hands but wouldn't say why.
He just had an 'annual medical' even though he already had his annual medical.
He got shot in the ear but has never released the medical records relating to it.
How is any of this ok?
