Preventing health care costs from exploding? Reopening the government? Lowering the cost of groceries?   Nope. Building himself a new $300 million ballroom.

Considering Lori was drinking buddies with Shannon Monihan and her literal bomb throwing militant boyfriend, we’re not surprised that she would wish state violence on her former constituents. It’s still pathetic and weak, though.

Being a billionaire in the United States feels basically identical whether you have $10B or $100B, but feels very different if you can sexually harass your au pair and she can quit and get a different job vs if she is desperate to keep her job and has to put up with it because the economy is shit.
