Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.
That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

He was just mad because someone else was getting the attention due to him.
The Sociopath-In-Chief couldn't be bothered to even turn his head in the direction of a man in the midst of a medical emergency who collapsed in his office. Completely incapable of empathy, the EPSTEIN Files can't be released soon enough.

This is a river redhorse, a bottom-feeding fish native to the Appalachians. I don’t know what possessed him to take a trout fly, but when he felt the hook he fought hard. He’s none the worse for wear, though. I released him back into the Tuckaseegee River. #fishing
