The US govt is cheated out of $300-400 Billion each year on average. It was nearly $700 Billion for tax year 2022. If the govt would collect the taxes that are required by law a lot of programs could be funded. That's a start. Biden hired at IRS to collect more but GOP nixed it.

That's less than 3%. 3%! No identifying themselves as law enforcement. No due process. And of the less than 3% how many really can be legally deported? This all to scare us into submission while the detention contractors make millions. Those are our tax dollars. Those are our people.

No, Margaret. Dems are capable of working on multiple issues at the same time unlike the MSM which seems to repeat the same 2 or 3 stories for days on end without ever fact checking anything. Dems do more that read off a teleprompter or repeat what's said in our earpiece.

Damn right. As with anything else terrible, they will do anything they can do suppress it or hide it.

Trump's Epstein connections are discussed not in the context of Trump's extensive history of sexual assault (boasting about it, being accused of it, being held liable for it) but instead as a intra-MAGA horse race conflict.
