7. The media industry is both unwilling and unable to cover this level of corruption rigorously. Treating Trump’s corruption scandals like those of previous presidents would make outlets appear “biased” and strain the resources of an industry that has been contracting over the past 25 years.

Two of Trump's former personal attorneys are responsible for deciding whether to improve the payment.

3. Trump's pardon for CZ came after Binance structured a $2 billion investment with USD1, a Trump-backed cryptocurrency.

1. Last week, there were 3 Trump corruption scandals in 4 days that would define any other presidency.

Most people are probably not even AWARE of all three scandals.

The fact that Georgia is a swing state tells you that their suppression efforts aren’t very good. In the end, their voters are very disciplined and always show up. Yours are not.

Trump knows Democrats care if poor people have food to eat and Republicans do not care at all. He thinks that’s a “weakness” he can exploit when it’s really just basic human decency — something he lacks.

I have learned to hate the concept of nostalgia and now see it as a tool for backwards looking monsters.
American Fascism is so fucking lame, bro. Mussolini called back to Rome. Nazis made up this whole batshit aryan mythology to paper over Germany’s actual history as backwater barbarians. MAGA’s just like “remember when ads were full of white people and cars didn’t have pussy liberal crumple zones?”

I pointed out separately that 39% are children. And I could point out that most SNAP recipients have jobs which I've also pointed out elsewhere. But what I failed to mention is a lot of military members use SNAP... these guys REALLY hate the military
May I present a former clerk to Justice Gorsuch.
