Fat Satan got his COVID booster shot yesterday. If he doesn’t listen to his Trumpshit-crazy HHS Secretary, why should we?

I’m very fortunate to be in good health 🤞. I take 1 RX which is costing $30 up from $3 for 90 day supply. 2 yrs ago the premium for this was $17 a month. Last year jumped to $48 a month. Just got this new notice today. $98! 🤬

Three cheers for MIT. When the White House tried to buy obedience with funding strings...MIT said, “Hell No!” Merit over mandates. Freedom over control. Finally...an institution with the guts to tell power where to shove its politics.

And isn't some younger version of this guy just what every parent would want to see their daughter bring home?

P.S. He wouldn't even be capable of having an intelligent conversation with a "chick" with purple hair on a college campus.

She knows exactly how to play him to get the assistance she’s hoping for. And he thinks as always that it’s all about him. And she didn’t accept it for him. 🤦‍♀️

This is pure insanity. When you're standing at an airport, now you're going to have this video playing blaming the Dems.

The ‘currency swap’ has been finalized. Argentina got their $20 billion and gave us an unknown number of pesos, while he cuts healthcare and human services for Americans. Don’t call it a bailout, they say — it’s like saying tariffs aren’t taxes. What happened to America First?

Sure but also he and his government engaged in a taxpayer funded lengthy, multi-pronged, deeply corrupt and imo scandalous attempt to threaten and shake down a friendly nation, including by threat of senseless economic warfare, into making our leader feel good about himself by giving him a trinket…

The widespread media decision to frame international affairs as "will Donnie get the prize he wants?" is pathetic.

He's not the protagonist of human events. And to the extent he's a significant character in world affairs, whether or not he gets a prize is one of the least important things about it.
