Nov 2025

Like millions spent in Mexico running pro Trump ads, 300 million ballrooms, gold and marble plated shitteries, Gatsby balls, personal flights on the taxpayer's dime, and paid House Republicans sitting on their arses doing nothing unless they're allowed to screw the average American enough to their liking.

Food assistance, affordable healthcare, etc. Fk that. Let's add another layer of gold to the crown molding.
