As a devout capitalist, Trump believes that children should be privately owned by their sex trafficker seller and their rapist buyer. He insists that the government should not interfere in that kind free market transaction in any way.

WHOA!! Rep. Zach Nunn (R-IA) just STRUCK a person asking him a simple question about rural hospital closures. Reporter: Do you still think rural hospital closures are a myth? Nunn: I said I'm with a constituent. You should protect their privacy! *SMACK*

In the well-over 100,000 documents written by founders included in the Founders Online database from the National Archives, no one uses the phrase "God's noble experiment." No one.
Chuck Schumer: "The founding fathers called America God's noble experiment. I believe in all three words to this day: we are one nation under God, we have clung to noble ideals for longer than any other nation, and we are an experiment always changing, trying to make ourselves better.

Thanks to Trump's tax cuts, 88 corporations — including Coinbase, CVS, and Disney — paid ZERO federal income tax last year. They also spent $852M on political donations and lobbying. Their combined tax savings: over $26 BILLION (a 3,000% ROI!) We must break this corrupt cycle.

My republican friends don't understand why we protest. Or why we are concerned with the current issues. And they naively think what affects others will not affect them. Eventually there will be nobody there to stand before you, or with you. Very relevant today. #Pinks

Your neighbor breaks into your house, occupies 4 rooms, shoots at your family for 3 years. Trump's "peace deal": neighbor keeps all 4 rooms PLUS gets a 5th room they never reached. You can only own 1 gun and can't join neighborhood watch. Neighbor promises not to rob anyone else. #TrumpUkraineDeal
