Comer on why he thinks Biden's pardons were worse than Trump saying he knows nothing about people he's pardoning: "Nobody is accusing Donald Trump of not knowing what day it is, what year it is, the pardon process and things like that, so I think there's a big difference."

Apparently it's "communist" to retain a rent stabilization system which has been in place since 1941, but it's "capitalist" for Trump to insist that the federal government take a controlling stake in dozens of companies with which he engages.
Kelly Loeffler: "This is gonna be a crisis in the city of New York, to have a communist in there talking about seizing the means of production ... this is the face of Democrat Party now, and you saw that with everyone coming and bowing to him."

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.
The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.
They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.
Wanna fix fraud and abuse?

Q: What did you mean when you said you're prepared to send 'more than the National Guard' into American cities?
TRUMP: if I want to enact a certain act, I'd be allowed to do whatever I want. The courts wouldn't get involved. Nobody would. I could send Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines -anybody I want
