Burt Hays @bluesman66.bsky.social · 20/08/2026When Trump took office in 2025, the exchange rate was over 20 Mexican pesos to the US dollar. Today it slipped below 17 pesos to the dollar. Heck of a job, Donny. Is America Great Again, yet? 010

Burt Hays @bluesman66.bsky.social · 10/06/2026Social Security will continue to provide a safety net if we just raise the payroll tax cap. Instead, the billionaires take the money they're not paying into SS, and use it to buy more politicians. Arithmetic isn't hard. 000

Burt Hays @bluesman66.bsky.social · 13/03/2026Traveling soon? Lines at airports could move slower than usual. DHS is using all that Big Butt Ugly Bill money to continue to fund roving gangs of ICE thugs, rather than pay its TSA workers. GOP won't agree to split out new TSA funding from ICE million$. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...politico.comOne month later, White House and Democrats no closer to ending the DHS shutdownRepublicans hope longer wait times at airports will be the pressure point Democrats need to drop their immigration enforcement demands.

Burt Hays @bluesman66.bsky.social · 21/01/2026From Ron Filipkowski. … Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) responded: “Stop pretending Trump is playing some genius long game. He’s not. He’s a deeply insecure idiot and he’ll gladly blow up the world order and screw over the entire country if it makes him feel big for 5 minutes.” Truth from a Marine. 022
