It doesn’t pass the smell test for me. What about you?

#BlueSkyVets Trump has granted over 1,500 pardons related to the January 6 Capitol attack.

Although his pardon power is legally protected, the appearance of Oval Office access is disturbing.

Trump didn’t “drain the swamp” - HE EXPANDED AND INFESTED THE SWAMP!

#BlueSkyVets In a surprise showcase of American prosperity in the Golden Age - the Trump administration presents the "$3 Trump America Meal."

Designed to be both nutritious and emblematic of national pride, the meal is a study in curated stupidity.

Are you hungry yet?
