in spending that was supposed to pay down the national debt. Instead, they padded their personal bank accounts with it. And the mind-numbingly brain dead bastard MAGAt base are okay with that.

...with her initials on it.

It would be fascinating to know how any sales/orders she's had. Methinks someone has a very over-inflated idea of her own importance. The damn things cost $130.00.

Btw she has publicly said that she sees Musk as Uncle Elon now. She knows he cheated.

Btw she is a Trump no doubt her company has been collecting orders for “her merch” but
as of yet hasn’t sent out anything.

when in charge

When democrats in charge complain about austerity and fiscally responsible, constantly and loudly and yell it from rooftops daily, hourly and have every MEDIA outlet complain right along with you !!!

When in charge again, spend like thieves run up the deficit, start credit card wars. Rinse and repeat

and the national deficit.

When they try to whine about it again, we just need to say two words-- Donald Trump.

I do not care that Rs are not saying anything about waste, fraud, and abuse right now. I don't expect them to.

But I do want to hear Dems shouting it from the rooftops now and forever. Pin it on them. Nail them for it, over and over and over so that they NEVER escape the label.

They are the party of waste and fraud on the nation. They abuse power. They are thieves who can never ever be trusted. And they start effin' wars that they can't win, wasting more money and most of all, human lives.

Scum of the earth.

Yes, Trump is indeed the worst CRIMINAL we’ve ever elected to be our president - and he MUST be tried and convicted for his crimes……
BUT…..
It is the REPUBLICAN HOUSE and SENATE that have given him a ‘Get-Out-of-Jail-Free’ card, starting with the ‘back-in-the-hospital-hope-you-die-soon’ Mitch Fuckin’ Turtle McConnell!
If YOU are a Republican - YOU OWN THIS SHIT SHOW!!!!!!!!!
