So by Donnie Dipshit math this means the GoP vote share shrank by 7000%!
Leigh Wambsganss raised nearly $2.3 million for the SD9 district, much of it coming from three billionaire-funded PACs.

Taylor Rehmet raised $346,000, most of it coming from donations of $100 or less. His biggest donor gave him $12K, and a bunch of local unions also cut him larger checks.

This level of disgusting racism and cruelty didn’t exist in a vacuum, and it didn’t end with Epstein.

Epstein files:

“JEFF wanted, ‘young, fresh meat girls. Virgins.’ He told ■, ‘Don’t bring me any n*ggers.’”

Rumor: "ICE might be moving to small towns in Ohio next. Small targets where they think they can succeed discretely, and won't get many protesters."

Bitch, some of us live here! 🤬 Don't wish that on any of us! None of it is "small."

ABOLISH ICE, everywhere, forever.

This is not an original sentiment and I know where are more elegant phrasings elsewhere but I am too lazy to look them up.

But, Americans and the press basically treat Trump like a Make-A-Wish kid living out his dream while the rest of world treat him like the President of the United States.

I need a professional economist to tell me - if we simply taxed everything owned by an individual after their first one or two billion, would the world be worse off?
