And now we are bailing out Argentina with billions.

Remember how MAGA told us Donald Trump would save US farmers with his right-wing policies?

And now we are bailing them out with billions also.

Tom Homan is as crooked as they come. He must resign.

A tweet by George Conway says, “There is absolutely zero chance that a man who took $50,000 in cash in a paper bag from an FBI agent on camera would have been appointed to any position by any other president.” It quotes Armand Domalewski, who wrote, “There is absolutely zero chance JD would describe a Biden administration official accepting a $50,000 cash bribe in a paper bag as ‘fake scandal.’”

"They know that in a functioning one-person-one-vote democracy, they could never pass the unpopular self-enriching policies they want. So they know they must focus on preserving and expanding the precedents that permit them to buy American democracy."
