President Obama served food at soup kitchens on Thanksgiving.
The orange felon shares staged propaganda photos of himself with troops from 2019 on Thanksgiving because he’s a 5-time draft dodging traitor lying criminal.
How far we’ve fallen.

Sorry to put it so bluntly, but Hegseth gets a hardon from doing this. He's a third rate individual who now gets to point at a screen, and, with a word, make people die. He's drunk on this shit.

Taxing billionaires and allocating properly wouldn't change their lives one bit, but it would fundamentally save ours. A living wage is possible.
