“Buy now, pay later” usage for groceries has nearly doubled in the last year.
You know what else has doubled? Trump’s wealth.
The only thing he cares about is making him and his other billionaire friends richer while we foot the bill.

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.
