Your wallet is being cleaned out by expert pickpockets. This is criminal. Literally criminal. I call for an IMMEDIATE investigation into who knew what, when, and what they did with the info. You can bet the Admin and many here in DC are considerably richer tonight than they were this morning.

Trade deficit. I have bought food from say, Chilis. They have never bought food from me.

There is a trade deficit with Chilis. I’m still doing fine.

Maybe everyone can see it now, but the world's richest people have tanked it all to restock assets and get liquid after years of illegally playing with funny money. They used "the wokeness" as a cudgel and it worked. The next Disney princess WILL be white, as we all eat beans under the highway.

Because he hates America for not giving him that second term, he says it was stolen, but he knows he lost it, he felt humiliated he will punish them just like he punished his wife for suggesting he have scalp replacement. He eventually buried her at his golf course in an untended grave.

This is how our government has been corrupted: 

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office. 
2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor. 
3) Donors make a huge profit. 
4) Repeat.

For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.
