‘Starting on day one I will end inflation.’ Well, it’s day 23 and all we got so far is your promise that high school badminton teams are safe from transgender girls.

The “let’s reduce the government” is actually “let’s sell it for parts to our billionaire donors”. Just like Putin did. It’s a money grab like none other.

Holy moly. MAGA is losing their mind over an uncovered video from 2016 where Donald Trump says people should use the bathroom they feel is inappropriate and speaks out against trans bathroom bills. Feel free to share this so MAGA implodes.

If Matt Gaetz DIDNT rape a minor, the GOP would have released the report.

I fucked around and clicked art for my interest now it’s nothing but ugly ass portraits on my timeline

Feels like I'm just posting to the void since I'm just getting started here, but why not.
