US national debt just hit $40 trillion. Why? HINT: It's NOT because the government is trying to provide its citizens healthcare or childcare.

Donald Trump released classified documents which incriminate himself, proving without a doubt there was Russian collusion. Trump several campaign aides, his family and other associates were directly involved with Russian agents, attempting to discredit Joe Biden in 2020. He is so stupid. I love it.

When Vivek Ramaswamy steps off his jet in his loafers that cost more than our paycheck, he’ll say he cares about working people. Yet his zero income tax plan is only no taxes on capital gains, not income made by those of us actually working.

It's a sign of how shockingly corrupt this country has become that a nominee for Attorney General is given a hearing by the Senate *the very same week* he has been referred by a judge for possible disbarment for unethical behavior. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
