Pretty damn good framing for Dems
How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million.
How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65
Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

After tragedies like these, it’s typical for American presidents to address the grieving public. What’s not typical of presidents is to blame issues with, for example, the Federal Aviation Administration on disabled people and people of color.
Trump responds to Washington plane crash with racist, ableist diatribe
The president used the tragedy, which killed 67, to deliver a bigoted and self-promoting tirade about DEI.

Fanny Willis was removed from a case for a consensual romance with a coworker. Pete Hegseth is now SecDef despite both his mother and sister-in-law giving testimony that he is sexually abusive. Well thank God we’re free from the burden of unjustly preferential treatment based on gender and race now.

“My only regret is they should have brought rifles,” Stewart Rhodes said four days after Jan. 6.
“We could have fixed it right then and there,” he said. “I'd hang fucking Pelosi from the lamppost.”

My favorite part is how Vance looked around at the immigrant to his right and the daughter of immigrants to his left and was waiting for someone to agree that what was he was hearing was crazy and offensive.
Sadly, I’m sure they probably do.
